GLASGOW, June 9.-Trouble that has
been brewing between the Catholics and
Professionals of Larkshire is at fever
heat today as result of last night
riotous clash in the town of Mother
well, twelve miles southeast of here.
It Is not clear yet just what started
the latest trouble, but a large open air
Protestant meeting was suddenly con-
verteti into an anti-Catholic demOnstra-
ton The Catholics barricaded them
s.llves in their homes, but the Protest
ants, with a big numerical advantage,
broke into many Of the houses and
assaulted the occupants.
Twenty of the rioters were danger
ously injured and a hundred or more
slightly hurt before being dispersed by
the police.
The trouble started when travelling
Protestant evengelists began working in
tts county. in which they bitterly at
tackled Cathc lies and Catholicism, great

Secret Service Agents Report Too
Bitter Feeling There
Against Him.

ST. PETERSBURG, June s.-There is
the best authority today for the state
ment that the Gar mas abandoned his
plan to include Italy in the itinerary Of
mis- forthcoming European tour through
fear of assassination.
Russian secret service agents, who
were sent to Italy two weeks ago to pre-
bare the way for the Car have re-
ported that Italian revolutionists have
combined with Russian exiles in Italy
in a plot to assassinate Nicholas and
that the trip cannot be taken without
the iyravest dangers
The feeling against Nicholas is par
ticuls rly bitter now. his agents tell him,
on account of the recent reactionary tri-
umrf in Russia, and the revelations OF
frighJful prison cruelties, resulting from

Let the milk itself convince you.
See what it means to have rich milk and
cream always on hand when you want it.
See the waste you save.
Learn how it feels to know that your milk
has no germs IN it.

No Other Such Milk

Don't think of Van Camps as condensed

And don't think that other evaporated

Analysis of Van Camps shows about per
cent of butter fat. That's because we Use
Hoistein milk and take out tvo-thirds of the
water.
A milk with half of that water left in may
be called "evaporated." But it won't be as

A Whole, Rich Milk

Van Camps rs simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated Moth
ing whatever is added. Nothing is subtrscted,
save water.
The Washington times., 1909-06-09

Here you get the whole milk
Your milkman's milk separates. You
either get too little solids or too little butter
fat.
It separates again when you get it. So
the milk used for cooking is rarely more than
a half milk
Compare one milk dish made with Van

Note the difference IN richness and favor
That will be enough to forever convert
you to the use of this whole. rich milk.

Then think how convenient.
Rich milk or cream whenever you want il.
No waiting for the milkman, no shortage,
no waste.
Yet Van Camps is the cheaper.
II 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 rnilE1nan~ twice what
you pay for such milk as this
The Washington times., 1909-06-09
A Germless Milk

Van Camps is a germless milk
Every COW is inspected-so are the men
who milk them. No tubercular cows, no dis
eased milkmen, convey their infections to
Van Camps Milk.
Our diaries are sanitary. Our cresmeries,
where the milk is evaporated, are built with
out wood. We make business of cleanli-
ness.
Then the milk is sterilized after the cans
are sealed. Not germ of any kind can
main in it.
This milk is safe and your mikman's milk
isn't. There are myrisds of germs in every
drop of raw milk
1t rs wrong to take such risks.

and as the new mills are built the area
of production will rapidly increase.
Twelve steam mills have recently been
erected across the frontier In siberia,
and other mills are springing up along
the Transsberian road.
The Russians Flooding Siberia.
The rapid settlement of Siberia is one
Of the striking features of the eastern
situation. That country has tens of mil
lions of acres OF wheat lands, and 1t will
eventually feed a great part OF the world.
Travellers say that the lands along the
railroad are being rapidly settled, and
that there will soon be pDpulous coun'
try above Manchuria.
The Chinese agent of our Equitable
Life Insurance company, who has Just
returned from a trip over the Trans
Siberian system, says that the Russian
government is putting 10000 emigrants
a day into those regions. He says that
he saw long trains coming day
after day, filed with immi grants Some
of the engines hauled 20 cars and each
car had double decks above the main
floor so that three tiers of passen gers
were carried.
The people are being exported by VIII
lagos. and the old and young are crowd :
ed together, the children and grown-ups
being packed In like sardines This man
counted the trains and tn cir passengers.
and 1t is his estimate that the number
now coming in cannot be less than 10.-
600 per day. From other authorities l
have like Information, and statement
was recently published that as many
as 5000 souls were settled in Siberia
last year.
This migration is not new one. 1t

The Shrinking Rio Grande.
From the. Albuquerque Citizen.

From the, Albuquerque Citizen.
The main current of the Rio Grande
swings from one shore to the other and
as a result the receding water has left
long stretches of river bed. Over week
ago, ranchers and their employees began
digging aceuulas across the river bed In
order to reach the water and convey it
to their land.
The Rio Grande now flows in only one
small stream, but as yet there is suffi-
cient current to make 1t adequate for ir-
rigation purposes where bitches are prop
erly constructed. By extending the
bitches up the dry river bed for consid-
cradle distances and then cutting them
into the flowing water, the ranchers be-
low the city have succeeded in increasing
the fall of the water and thereby extend
ing the volume for irrigation purposes
The majordomos in charge of the
bitches have been forced in most cases
to mount strict guard over the acequias
to see that in no case Is the water wasted
and that every landowner gets enough
but no more than is needed to tide his
crops over the drought.
