CORPORATION

officially Exempted.
MOTION CAUSES DEBATE

Az Finally Agreed to Labor organiza.
tions, Fraternal and Beneficiary So.
cieties and Organizations ExcIu.
siveIy for Religious, Charitable OF
Educational Purposes Are Not At
fected by the Law.
Washington, July 7.-As soon as the
tariff bill was taken up in the senate
an amendment proposed by Senator
Burkett %exempting from the operation
of the corporation tax provision bene.
fetal societies organized on the lodge
principle precipitated a debate on the
exact form that such a provision
should take. Senator Bacon thought
that the suggestion of the Nebraska
senator was not broad enough and
offered a o ~farreaching amend
ment relating to religious, charitable,
educational and %fraternal associations,
mutual insurance companies and cor.
pcrations whose gross sales were less
than $25O,000 annually.
Trinity church of New York was
brought prominently into the debate.
Senator Clark of Wyoming said that
organization was not of a character
to receive the exemption. It was, he
said, engaged in real estate opera
lions to an extent that would not war
ram the church's exclusion from the
provisions of the bill.
After considerable debate an amend
ment was adopted exempting from the
tax labor organizations, fraternal
beneficiary societies and organizations
exclusively for religious, charitable or
educational purposes. Mr.. Aldrich, in
accepting this provision. said the
finance committee believed that the
same object was accomplished by the
language used by the committee plac-
ing the tax only upon corporations cor
ganiZed for profit"
Amendments requiring the payment
of the corporation tax to state treas
uries when raised from banks, water,
gas and electric light companies and
exempting mercantile corporations
with gross annual salaries not ex-
ceeding $250,0O0 were rejected.

ARE UNDER FIRE
Democratic Campaign for
DiSfranchisement in Mary
land Launched in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic campaign for the disfranchise-
ment OF the negro in Maryland Is in fun
swing. It was opened by Senator Ray
ner, who addressed a big audience at
the Lyric Theater last night.
Il assert that the Republican Federal
officeholders desire the negro simply as
a voter" said Senator Rayner; that
the suffrage in the hands Of an ignorant
electorate that has not the slightest
conception Of what they are voting FOR,
or what any ore represents for whom
they are voting, is a menace and a
weapon of danger. and never a weapon
FOR protection or defense.
The justice OF tie cause Is with us
because the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments comforting the right Of suf-
frage were unlawfully adopted by the
most Infamous system Of tyranny and
corruption that was ever inflicted upon
a free people.
I'VE are not evading the Constitution
Of the United States. say unlawful
because the question Of the legality of
the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth Amendments will be opened In
the Supreme Court Of the United States
and l have the strongest hopes that this
tribunal will strike down this iniquitous
Interference with the rights of the
States.
Il now make the assertion that the
day will never come when the Repub-
lican party will crafty another demand
Of the Independent Democrats of Raltf-
rect vote for Senator of the United
States"

Increase In silver production.
The increase in the worlds production
Of gold will not be due to American

The worlds production in 1907 amount

the Increase exhibited IN 1907. The enor-

Six Cents Per Quart

The 10-cent can of Van Camps contains a
full pint If you buy by the case, as every
one should, the cans will cost less than 10
cents.
When you replace the water which we take
out, you have rich Holstein milk at about
six cents per quart.
It is cheaper than raw milk, for half the
price of raw milk is the cost of the daily de-
livery.
And Van Camps means GOWN your kitchen,
Rich milk cream at any time, as little or
much you want.
No shortage; no planning in advance for
your needs And no waste whatever. An
opened can keeps till you use it up
You buy a case at time, and all your
milk needs are supplied for a month or more.

King Alfonso's decision TO leave the
matter OF modifying the press censor

practically a Sat refusal by the editors
who returned today from San Sebastian,
where they laid their grievances before
the King.
AlfonsO's announcement that he would
return TO Madrid at once and call a
special meeting Of the cabinet 10 con-
slider the editors complaint is not con-
strued as a hopeful sign by the public
II Is conceded that any other action Of
Alfonso would have provoked the resig-
nation of the cabinet There Is little
hope that the cabinet will aCuuiesce in
any marked degree TO the editors de-

An Absolutely true statement OF war

oItioDs, II IS conceded. would greatly in
crease the Revolutionary spirit.

Not Like Condensed

Don't think of Van Camps as condensed
milk, for condensed milk is nearly half sugar.
Sugar was the old way of preserving milk
before the days of sterilization.
Condensed milk is so largely sugar that it
is very expensive. And you can't use it for
cooking because it's too sweet Such I'M
natural milk is long out of date. Van Camps
is natural milk, preserved by modern meth
DDS.
Nor is Van Camps like other brands of
evaporated. For this is Holstein milk, reduced
10 the minimum bulk.
Common milk, only partly evaporated, is
often said to be as good as Van Camps.
But nearly every housewife knows that it
isn't. So don't be misled.

It viii be found sufficient to overcome
the declines in other fields. The Nome
field in Alaska alone shows a decline
of about 81 900 900.
The Geological Survey also gets out
figures on gold and silver production,
but in the past they have been made
up on the basis of the returns from the
mines. The returns which the Mint
Bureau uses are made up not entirely
on mine returns, but on the basis
Of the gold actually obtained from
the smeiters and otherwise. How
ever. the Geological Survey IS now
getting out its figures on the same basis

In Van Camps you get the whole milk
all the butter fat, all the solids. Yet it costs
you less than a half-milk. See what a diff
ference this makes in your milk dishes.
When Van Camps is drunk cold, il, has
slight almond favor, due to the heat applied
in sterilization. In cooking or coffee-where
you heat the milk anyway-the slight sealded
favor is entirely lost.
This favor is a sign of purity. II is es-
sential to safety. For no careful mother
will let children drink raw milk

For coffee Or cereals, add one part water,
for Van Camps is as thick as thick cream.
For cooking or drinking, add little more
water. Reduce to the richness d ed.
Van Camps gives to milk d. IS a rich
ness and favor which you never get from
