INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

It HUS early is it evident that there will be
\ fierce fight over the proposed amend
ment to the constitution giving the government
authority to impose an income tax The friends
OF such taxation realize that the odds are against
then Three-fourths Of the forty-six states
must, through their legislatures, ratfy the pro-
posed amendment At first sight il seems that
there will be little difficulty in securing that
number OF states to refuse TO support the amend
ment. Some states seem TO be opposed to any
amendments to the constitution Delaware.
has a history rife with opposition 10 all
amendments. The firm conservatism of our
state was evidenced in the fact that thousands
OF Delawareans in the early part Of the last cen
tury were voting for the old Federalist party
long after the funeral ceremonies OF that party
had been held.
When the process by which the proposed
amendment can be enacted is considered the
hard road that II must travel is realized. AS

And Van Camps gives you for cooking
the whole rich milk-the finest milk in Amer
lea
Please note what this means.
When you use raw milk for cooking YOU
don't get the whole milk, because milknsn's
milk separates. The butter fat rises and the
solids fall.
In Van Camps you get all the butter fat,
all the solids that exist in the richest milk
Thus it gives to milk dishes a richness and
flavor which you never can get from raw
milk.
You lose all this in condensed milk

It is cheaper than raw milk, because you

1t is economical because there is no waste.
1t is convenient for you have it always on

If you prove these facts, you who use con-
densed milk will gladly change to Van Camps.

Condensed Milk is Nearly
Half Sugar

A can of condensed milk is about half milk
and half sugar.
The sugar is added-from 40 to 50 per cent
both to cheaper and preserve it.
In the old days, before the sterilization of
milk was perfected, sugar was added to keep
the milk sweet.
And many people still cling to this sweet
ened milk because they don't know how evap-
GRATED milk has displaced it.

To Housewives Who Buy

There are thousands Of people who think
that condensed milk is very much like Van
Camps.
They are buying condensed milk for part
Of their uses. and mikman's milk for the rest
So we are taking this space, in our rnu-
tual interest, to explain where the difference

Paying a Double Price
for Sugar

Condensed milk may be also evaporated.
But each can contains about as much sugar
as milk.
Let us figure out what this means.
The large can Of Van Camps contains six
teen ounces of evaporated milk. That means
a full pint--a full pound.
If you buy Van Camps by the case, and
replace the water which we take out, you get
a rich milk at about six cents per quart.
The 1o-cent cans of condensed milk contain
only IL ounces-four ounces less than Van
Camps. And about half the condensed milk
is sugar, for which you are paying more than
twice what sugar is worth.

Van Camps is Pure Milk

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated
There is no sugar in it, no starch, no pre-
servative-nothing whatever but milk
We have evaporating plants in six states,
all located close to our dairies.
The fresh milk from the cows is poured
into receptacles Then the air is pumped out,
leaving the milk in a vacuum.
Because OF that vacuum, a very moderate
heat sets the milk boiling, and evaporates the
water in steam.
Thus we evsporate two-thirds of the water
TO reduce the bulk. II is that economy in
shipping which makes Van Camps cost even
less than raw milk

Unfit for Cooking

That sugar in condensed milk makes it un-

2s Per Cent Solids

This evaporated milk is 2s per cent solids
per cent butter fat.
Such is the milk that we put into the cans,
and the milk that you get in Van Camps.
Then the milk is steriized after the can
is sealed That's the only thing we do to
preserve it.
When you open the can, and replace the

MRS. GOULD CONFIDENT
Says She Will be INDICATED Of All
Wrongs When Her Witnesses
Have Chance to
Testify.

NEW YORK, June 49, When the
Gould separation trial is resumed
Monday, Justice Dowling will make
an effort to have the testimony in the
case put on the stand as far as pos
sible SO the hearing can be finished
next Saturday night. He tried to get
the attorneys consent at the hearing
today, but both refused. The court
announced that night sessions will
probably be held next week to facil-
itate the completion of the case.
Mrs. Gould declared today she was
not surprised at the testimony given
yesterday, expressing herself conf
dent that when the witnesses take the
stand for rebuttal they will vindicate
her both of the charge of drunken
ness and of improper relations with
Farnum. Mrs. Gould carries pencil
5aLd pad in court every day and takes
notes on the damaging testimony.
She coaches her attorney in questions
frequently
Gould's attorneys have six witnesses
to testify before Gould testifies. 1t is
possible that Farnum will be called
as a witness.

TAFT CONFIDENCE GREAT
Bourne Of Oregon Sees Great Gain in
the Provision to Give the Gov

Of Corporations.

y
WASHINGTON. June 1s.-When
the tariff schedules in the free list
have been disposed of, the senate will
take up the income and corporation
tax, and consider them to the exclu-
sion of all other business until final
action Is taken. This agreement was
reached in the senate today, after a
debate which was marked by rather
sharp passage between Aldrich and
Reyburn, of Idaho
Notwithstanding the criticisms by
some progressive Republican senator's
in the senate, of Tafts action to side
tracking the income tax, and doubts as
to the results to be achieved by the
corporation tax scheme, there are
others heartily favoring the latter
proposition.
Bourne Of Oregon, today said he
endorses the corporation tax idea. a
psychological movement for the adop-
tion of great reform, revenue-raising
leads to corporation control, he said: !:
with the proposed provision properly
drawn to ensure publicity to the gov
ernment, at least, as to all corporation
earnings, thus eliminate the possibility
Of concealed equities. Taft will be
recognized as an advocate of policies
endorsed by the people and public con-
fidence in him will be increased 1t is
impossible, In my opinion, to create by
Legislation, a monopoly in any manu-
factured product. There is no posi-
bility of monopoly being created or
fostered under the provisions Of the
