Special Cabegram to The Star.
BERLIN, August 9.-How people or
small means have to struggle for exist
ence in modern Germany is illustrated by
remarkable figures just published by the
imperial statistical office
A year ago the Office caused 500 families
in different parts of the empire to begin
keeping a systematic account of their in
comes and disbursements. Every family
received an account book in which ii was
requested to keep an itemized record OF
money spent on food, clothing. fuel. med
ical attention, presents, education, amuse-
ments, etc
A teacher and his WIFE, without chill
dren. whose income was S125. contrived
to save $50. Another teacher and his
wife, also childless, earned SStD and spent
$3.50. Their deficit was caused by them
spending S125 more for food and $40 more
for entertainment than the other teacher.
\ cabinetmaker and his wife, with one
child nine years of age. earned s4so and
lived on S470. A painters apprentice
and his wife, also with child Of nine.
earned $3.50 and spent $4I5.
A married policeman with two children
of ten and sixteen had an income of $500
and saved 500. A married clerk with two
children aged four and five earned $3.50
and ended the year with deficit of $500.
A widower with two children and one
servant girl earned $500 and spent Ssln
more than his income. This family spent
over $50 on sports, amusements and en-
terta inment.
4 married couple with three children,
the father being brewery workman.
earned $40 and saved $3.50 The family
spent only S167.Jo on food.
The account books sent in by the va.
rious families revealed that in order ic
accomplish the above results the most
Spartan economy was required. In most
cases not single farthnS was spent I'M
necessarily.
The statistics attract especial interes,
in view of the new Internal revenue taxes
on various commodities which will shortly
come into effect, making articles such -
tobacco, cigars. cigarettes. coffee, tea,
sugar. matches, beer, cognac and gas

OPENING OF FARMING LANDS
SECRETARY WILSON TO IN
sPECT FOREST RESERVATIONS.
Quarter of Million Acres Already
Devoted to Agriculture-Ad-
ditional Laws Needed.

Secretary o. Agriculture Wilson left
Washington Yesterday evening for the
west to look into the matter of opening
farming lands inclosed in the forest reser-
vations. He will spend a few days at his
old home in Iowa, and then go to Wyom-
ing. Idaho and Utah.
The establishment of farms inside the
forest reserves is being actively encour-
and their families are regarded as the
best guardians of the forests from fires.
\ quarter of a million of acres have al
ready been taken out of the forestry do
main and turned over to agricultural pur-
poses.

Secretary Wilson is paying no attention
to the efforts of the so-called water
power trust to bring about a relaxation
of the requirements imposed by the
forestry bureau. Speaking of the de-
vastation of forests by fire, Secretary
Wilson declared that the department is
going TO pursue a much more energetic
policy preventing them than has beer
done in the past few years.

Notwithstanding the crusade that has
been waged against the campfireS in the
mountains, there is still a great deal OF
carelesSness. These camptires continue
to be the origin of many destructive

is. to require that a trench be dug for

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 un-
natural milk is long out of date. Van Camps
is natural milk preserved by modern meth

The Cry the World Over. Is,
Use Sterilized Milk
All the medical world sounding lam against the of impure milk
And lends help spread the warnings everywhere

There is only one way to avoid infected
milk-that is through sterilization.
Tubercular COWS are now numbered by
millions. And their infected milk, by being
fed to calves, is breeding millions more.
It is now almost impossible, in buying raw
milk, to escape these tubercular germs.
Sterilized milk is not a matter of choice.
It has become 4 necessity. It's use is impera-
tive.
There is no other way to put stop to the
increasing spread of consumption.

Serves Every Purpose

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 desired.
Van Camps gives to milk dishes a rich
ness and favor which you never get from
raw milk.
Milkman's milk separates-before and af-
ter you get it. So your cooking milk. usu-
ally, is scarcely more than half-milk.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-08-09
Six Cents Per Quart

The 10-eent can of Van Camps contains
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 4 cow in your
kitchen. Rich milk or cream at any time, as
little or much as 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 case at a time, and all your
milk needs are supplied for month or more.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-08-09

In Van Camps you get the whole milk
all the butter fat, all the solids. Yet it costs
you less than a half-rnilk See what diff
ference this makes in your milk dishes.
When Van Camps is drunk cold, it has a
slight almond flavor. due to the heat applied
in sterilization. In cooking or coffee-where
you heat the milk anyway-the slight scalded
flavor is entirely lost
This favor is sign of purity. 1t is es-
sential to safety. For no careful mother
will let children drink raw milk
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-08-09
Van Camps is Safe

Van Camps Milk is utterly sterile.
The cows and the milkmen are healthy.
They are subject to constant inspection.
Our dairies are sanitary. Our evaporating
plants are all built without wood.
Every can of milk is sterilized after the
can is sealed. So the protection is absolute.
No germ can exist in Van Camps.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-08-09
Pure Holstein Milk

Van Camps comes from Holstein cows
the worlds best breed Holstein cows are
robust and eontented. They are famous for
their vitality. The milk they give is vastly
better for children than milk from mongrel
cows.
This milk, fresh from the COW, is put into
vacuum. And a moderate heat, because of
the vacuum, throws off the water in steam.
Thus we take out two-thirds of the water,
and the milk that results is % per cent solids
-S per cent butter fat
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-08-09

Nothing whatever is added. and nothing
but water subtracted. The result is the rich
est. purest. cleanest milk that ever came into
your home.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-08-09

The 1902. can Of Van
Camps sells for 10 cents;
the COZ. can for S cents.
So you get one third
more for your money in
buying the larger cans.
The milk IS produced at
our dairies, in six states,
and sold by grocers
everywhere.

Threaten Vengeance.
POLICE BELIEVE HIM GUILTY
Declare Couple Had Not Lived In

Deny Such Reports.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
/ CHICAGO. June DIR. Ha,dane Glenn
| inson. the young Rogers Park physician
whose wife was found dead under mys-
| terious circumstances. was placed in a
cell at the Sheffield avenue police sta
ton this morning.
The stories he had told Of finding his
wife lifeess at his side Sunday morning
had been thoroughly unsatisfactory to
! the police. They concluded he should
remain no longer at the Alexiau Broth
ers' Hospital
| Capt Kane, who discredits the bur-
glary theory entirely. said he would
book the prisoner on a charge of murder
| today.
The father and mother of the prisoner
| spent considerable time with him last
| night. and suggest that Mrs. Cleminson
/ might have been the cause of her own
| death by getting hold Of the wrong medi-
/ cine. They said she had access to the
physicians medicine chest, and frequent
| ly helped herself to drugs that aided her
| digestion.
| Vengeance Is Threatened.
John Morgan. father OF the dead wom-
| an, who arrived here from his home
| in South Haven about the same time
| that the elder Cleminson came back from
| q business trip to Iowa, refused to dis
Cuss the case. His brother, F.. A.
| Morgan declared the murderer would
! be punished to the limit of the law, re-
| gardiess of who he might be.
The friction that has existed between
the Morgan and the Cleminson families
for long time has begun to assert it
self. The relatives are working at divers
!. angles on the mystery.
Friends of the Cleminsons are coming to
their aid. and went to their home in
thrcngs during the day. They are relating
tales to show the good qualities of the
young physician.
The Cleminsons admit that the physi-
clan. because of business worries. might
not have shown as much devotion to his
family as should be expected. but declare
there was practically no friction between
the couple. On the other hand. the police
say they have information that there had
been many differences between them.
The body lies in gray casket at the
home. 41ss Wayne avenue. and will be
buried in Forest Home cemetery this aft
ernOon.
No Trace Of Chloroform.
Coroner's Physician Reinhardt has made
the regular examination of the woman's
stomach and other organs but has found
no trace of chloroform poisoning. and will
make a chemical test before turning in
his final report. Cleminson changed his
mind about permitting the hospital ply
sicians to apply the stomach pump, and
their examination was unfavorable to the
suspect.
Cleminson still adheres to- his original
statement about the supposed burglars
Despite the two contradictory reports he
made to the police on the method OF en-
try he told his father that he did not
know how they gained entrance.
Besides visiting and consolinG him. the
