But never labored so hard.

And knew that l was all right.
The sale I opened. the bidding began,

So she loaded me up in a big auto,

And I just sat while they let it go,
And over the route we sped.
Those big rubber tires went round and

And there was scarcely a jolt;
While we went on with leap and

Right into town did bolt.
The breeze was fresh; no dust did

That ride was just superb;
Nothing to strike one in the eye,

Or to have such a friend as that;

HELP THIS WORK.

IT HE Red Cross and the Tuberculosis
h Society of Delaware are trying to raise
sufficient funds to equip sanitarum for the
treatment of consumption The Legislature
came to the help of the movement to combat
tuberculosis but the amount appropriated is far
short OF what is needed. The cause is one
which should result in the opening Of purses in
Delaware Already the subscription list is
growing in an encouraging manner. and before
the campaign has ended the fund will reach con-
siderable proportions.
For many months past bg-hearted women
and men have been working indefatigaby in the
campaign against tuberculosis, and they should
receive generous support from the public Del
aware should be as liberal as other states in this
work In proportion to Our population and
wealth we should do as well by this movement
any other community has done
A glance at the subscription list shows some
contributors from towns outside OF Wilmington
Thisiis well There ought to be more such con-
tributions for the movement is State wide. It
affects all the counties of Delaware. The Legs-
lature made appropriations for all the coun-
ties.
The efforts of the Ant-Tuberculosis Society
are in the line of the highest humantarianism
and those who cannot assist in the actual labor
should help with contributions OF money.

fascinating wife. He deserves to worry
along through life as a lonely old
bachelor and have his estate absorbed
by an asylum for orphan pups.
For she is a vision of beauty and a
dream of delight. From the bow in
her hair down to the fetching slippers
that cover her little feet, from her
glowing cheeks to her parasol, from
her peek-a-boo waist to her irresistible
manner, she is the central feature of
the landscape, the JOY of the nation,

Don't think of Van Camps as condensed

can't use it in cooking.
And don't think that other evaporated
milks are as good as Van Camps.
Analysis of Van Camps shows about per

Holstein milk and take out two-thirds of the
water.
A milk with half of that water left in may
be called "evaporated." But it won't be as

cR1r1c1s1NG THE COURTS.

IT HE question OF criticism Of the courts de-
\ pends very much upon ones point OF
view. If you are interested in a case and the de-
cision is against you, you may crlhcise the
courts and think it is right to do So If the de-
oision is i'm your favor and any other person crit
cises the courts you become firm defender of
the courts and believe that any one who criti-
cses their conduct is delivering blow at Amer
ican institutions. II a newspaper or an individ-
nal not familiar with the true meaning OF the
words, YOU might conclude that critics of courts
and of the law arc Anarchists or Socialists who
have no right to live.
The truth appears to be that courts should be
subjected TO reasonable criticism and they al
ways have been. The courts are the best means
of administering Justice that we have been able
to hnd but this does not mean that they are in
fallible, that they are not subject TO error and
that the public should muzzle its mouth and ac-
cept all their decisions without expressing salts
faction or dissatisfaction. Very often in some
states unworthy men through political ideals
find their way to the bench. Very often or
binary lawyers of quite common clay are on the
bench.
Decisions of the courts frequently puzzle the
ordinary laymen as well the laymen above
the ordinary. For example the decision of the
high court of California in the graft cases. and
the decision of the high court of Tennessee in
the case Of the convicted Night Riders are
pulling
Those who have criticised these recent deci-
sions declare that the judges looked for "spcoks
and technicalites. and that the whole case
hinged on such flaws. A recent decision of a
high court upset a case in Chicago because a
minor word had been left out in paper Such
technicalities to the laymen seem ridiculous il
business were conducted with great weight laid
on techncalities, everything might come to
standst Courts frequently dwell on Tho
various meanings of words. Some obscure OF
little used meaning Of a word is brOffoht ~ ioh-
as a basis for reversal The English language
is so varied that it is indeed a poor Judge thai
cannot twist and turn almost anything An e<
pert phologist could mix up almost any deci
sion that Supreme Court might make, if h'
delved deep enough into the language.

Then think how convenient.
Rich milk OF cream whenever you want il.
No waiting for the milkman, no shortage,
no waste.
Yet Van Camps is the cheaper.
It is as thick as thick cream; so thick that
you add one part water for coffee. Yet it
doesn't cost half your milkman's price for
cream.
Add two parts water and you have rich
milk. The cost of such milk, when you buy
Van Camps by the case, is about six cents
per quart
Then you have no waste-no milk left over
Sometimes Van Camps cuts off half on the
milk bills.
Think of paying the milkman twice what
you pay for such milk as this.
