COMMENCEMENT AT DELAWARE.

HE commencement exercises at Delaware
n ware College this year have been Of an
unusually interesting character The Farmers
Day was happy conception it brought to-
gether hundreds of farmers who got an idea of
what Delaware is doing. Under the immediate
direction of President Harter the college has
prospered and seems to be in better condition
than ever. The attendance of students is larger
and the faculty is conscientious and able.
Delaware is too small to have an institution
that could rival the great state universities of
the West, but within its sphere the school at
Newark is doing good and practical work. It
gives a classical education, still preferred by a
large proportion Of students, especially those
who intend to pursue the learned professions. Its
scientific courses meet the wants of those who
prefer that training, training which is becom-
ing more and more popular among young men.
It's technical courses are effective as shown by
the work of the graduates
1t is possible for young man to gain fair
education at Delaware, and we sure that
every Delawarean who has an ounce of State
pride in his makeup wishes the college well.
This year many of the alumni have returned to
>old Delaware for the commencement exercises,
and they must have noted the gratifying progress
that the college is making.

Pure HoIstein Milk

Hostein COWS are the result of 1000 years
OF good breeding.
They are healthy cows with enormous vi
tality And that vitality is conveyed to the
milk
Van Camps is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two thirds the water evaporated.
Il is not like condensed milk, which is
nearly half sugar. Van Camps is nothing
but milk.
Our evaporating plants are located in six
states, and all are close to our dairies
The fresh milk is there placed in a va
cuum. And a very moderate heat, because
of that vacuum. throws off the water in steam.
Thus we eliminate two-thrds of the water,
simply to reduce the bulk. Then the milk is
sterilized. That's the only method used to
preserve it.

best milk in America at about six cents per quart

Most of the cost of miIkmsns milk lies in
the cost Of daily delivery. That's why Van
Camps undersells it.
But the economical way to buy Van Camps
is in the Io-cent cans. You get one-third
more for your money than in any scent cans.
And Van Camps is cheapest when bought
by the case. Ask your grocer to quote the
case discount

Serves Every Purpose

Van Camps serves every purpose for which
you use raw milk or cream. 1t is far better
than raw milk for any.
It comes to you as thick as thick cream
so thick that you add one part water for cof-
fee.
For use on cereals, reduce it one-half. For
drinking, reduce it to suit the taste The
best way to reduce it, especially for babies,
is to add hot water.
When Van Camps is drunk cold, it has a
slight almond flavor due to sterilization. 1t
is delicious flavor; and when one thinks that
it means germless milk, the taste becomes
doubly enticing.
That favor is lost when the milk is heated
for the favor comes from heat. The favor of

HEAVY TAXES IN GERMANY.

HE German Naval League recently held
"A meeting. 1t was marked by enthusiastic
speeches and songs. Germany must lead the
world in the size of her fleet She must wrest
the supremacy of the ocean from John Bull.
That was the sentiment There was so much
OF that sort of talk that the inhabitants of John
Bulls island became almost hysterical. Visions
of the invasion of England haunted them by day
and by night
The English Imperialists, representatives of all
the possessions of England, gathered soon af-
terward. In their addresses they dehantly re-
piled to the challenge of the German Naval
League and asserted that II any nation should
engage England in combat that nation would
have to fight not only the small island of Great
Britain but the entire British Empire, and it
would be a war to the deSth.
But there is another side of the picture, We
have referred to the enthusiasm of the warlords
of the persons who apparently want TO fight and
who think that the chief glory of this life is to
fight. The people who foot the bills for all the
fighting and all this preparation for fighting are
being heard from In England taxes have been
advanced enormously TO provide for the tre-
-Nnendous increase in the cost OF government, and
there have been protests against this piling up Of
taxation
They are about to increase the taxes of Ger
many to meet the expense of the war spirit and
the expansion of the German Naval program
The increases OF taxes in Germany as proposed
are radical and sweeping. To quote a Liberal
member of the German Parliament, air and sun
light will be about all that will be left free of
taxation
A deficit of S12s.ooo.ooo a wear created in Ger
many BY the increase in naval ornaments, must
be provided for by special taxation. AS the usual
subjects of taxation have been almost exhausted
to meet the regular expenditures. the additional
burden tax Is striking right and left at pretty near
everything that has heretofore escaped.
The revised scheme of the government pro-
poses new taxes on brandy, wines, beer, tobacco,
gas electricity, advertsements-whethe they
be IN newspapers or in street placards-succes-
sion duties, fire insurance policies, stocks. in
creased land values land transfers, coal output,
export grain and milling
The finance committee of the Reiehstae has
still other proposals which it will make before
the body including taxes on perfumery and
matches and an increase in the taxes on tea, cof-
ice and the export duty on coal and coke
The schedules are being debated all together,
the Conservatives believing that this plan will
increase the chances of the bill being adopted.
The Liberals and Radicals are violently op-
posed TO the program on the ground that the
most of the INCREASED burden of taxation will fall
on the trades, to the exclusion of the agricultural
classes.
The chief complaint of the Socialists is that
the new scheme does not hit the rich as hard as
It docs the masses
The debates are being bitterly waeed and
while II IS probable that sweeping bill will be
adopted, the future complexion OF the Reichstae
may undergo radical changes

Best for Cooking

In the making of milk dishes, Van Camps
Milk is twice as good as raw milk
The reason is this: In millman's milk you
rarely get the whole milk. The butter fat
rises and the solids fall, so you get different
milk from each part of the can.
When you skim this milk as is often done
in cooking, you take out most of the butter
fat left SO the raw milk used in making
milk dishes is rarely more than half-milk.
In Van Camps you get the whole milk-all
the butter fat and all the solids of the rich
est Holstein milk.
Thus it gives to milk dishes a richness and
favor which one never can get without it.
Just prove this once, in a single milk dish.
and you'll never 60 back to raw milk

that 1000 negroes in the city of Sa-
vannah are living in space of 800 Ivy
2,10O feet square, this by actual meas
urement, whereas every person ought to
have from 500 to 1000 cubic feet of
air space. The health commission fire.
quently found five persons living in one
room eight by twelve feet square.
"In the district in Savannah to which
l refer" he said, ''at least 400 two-room
houses, whose actual measurements are
6xS and Sx10 feet, are being erected.
These are not houses, but death traps.

CHIEF GERONIMO DEAD AT rs
Noted Apache Had Been Prisoner
for Many Years.

Lawton, Okla.-Geronimo, the Apache
chief, died of pneumonia today at Fort
Sill, where he had been a United States
prisoner for twenty-one years. He was
rs years of age.
Chief Geronimo is survived by his
eighth wife, whom he married only two
years ago.
When near to death some time ago,
Geronimo said:
81 am praying to the white mans
God, who has made me a man fit for
heaven, to spare my life for few years
longer-to spare it until am freed from
custody and see my people in free
homes"
A quarter of a century ago the mere
mention of Geronimo's name was suf-
fcient to strike terror into the ranch
ers and settlers of the Southwest. This
half-breed Mexican, who was captured
with the Apaches during one of their
raids and was adopted by them, learned
to fight when he was 16 years old and
later proved the cruelest and most blood
thirsty chief of the tribe.
