A person who has trouble with his feet
in warm weather should not wear Isle
thread stockings. Thin and cool though
they seem. they act as a powerful irri-
tant and sometimes cause the flesh Sc
we're sensations of burning. This is due
to the fact that Isle thread is twisted
tight and does not give to pressure when
the weight is thrown on the feet. In
stead, It digs in. as it were. acting pre-
cisely as a hard piece Of cloth would on
any other part of the body.
Silk affects some persons in the same
way BY all means the most comfort
able material is cotton, which is softer
in quality as it grows more expensive
in price. But even coarse quality is
better than a fine Isle, fact never to
he forgotten.
AS the weight of the body aggravates
any smarting of the soles, whatever de-
vice can be evolved for easing them will
lessen the trouble. Inner soles for shoes
forming a soft depth for the feet when
walking. will sometimes make it possible
to avoid the smarting sensation. Those
made of felt are not appreciably warm
and a little care of the feet before put
ting on hosiery may prevent discomfort

deal of grease is required; only enough
to prevent any friction when the flesh
touches the hose. Over the emollient

cia1 attention being given to spaces be-
tween the toes. Excellent for this pur-
pose is powder made from thirteen
grams OF permanganate Of potassium,
forty-five grams of subnitrate of bis
muth. sixty grams Of talcum powder and
two grams of salicylate of soda. They
must be sifted many times to mix. A
pun is the best agent for applying.
Soaking the feet night and morning in
hot water for five minutes at least, and
longer, will do much to relieve the burn
ing pain. An ounce of alum to two gal
Ions of water will add to the efficacy.

comfort during the day.

GOOD PERFUMES.

Business girls should not use scent and
perfumes at the Office, for heavy, sweet
odors are as much out of place open
work waists and other extreme fripperies
Of feminine toilet. Scrupulous cleanliness
and neatness are the characteristics to be
achieved.
Excessive use of perfume at any time is
not considered well bred now, because
scents are so inseparable from persons
who are vulgar and undesirable. This
reason alone prevents many of good
breeding from employing perfumes in any
way, and ii is better to go to this eX.
treme than to the other.
In an Office sudden Whit of heavy
scent comes with as great a shock the
sight of diamond necklace. 1t detaches
| the mind from business and procIains the
presence of the eternal feminine. and al
most unconsciously the mind starts in an
entirely different trend. 1t is as though a
girl said: Behold. am woman whei,
| instead she should have been applying at
tention to her daily task, arousing no per-
! sonal thought. 1t isn't wise. and ii isn't
refined TO have such elements enter into
| business.
| To deprive girl entirely of using sweet
waters would be unnecessary. But
I, waters by which is meant violet. lilac
etc, are not heavy, and they are not re-
| dolent- rarely. indeed. being noticeable by
anv but the persons who use them. The
/ doors are volatile and wear off quickly,
/ but while they remain they are plea SAINT
! clean and refreshing, especially in warm
wea Their.
| Saehet powders are never open to criti-
cism because the scent is so delicate that
only Whit is received. and even this is
so slight that the subtle fragrance seems
/ delusive.
| Powdered orris root is inexpensive and
| if shaken through the wearing apparel
| when the garments are laid away will
scent them deliciously. handkerchief
and gloves may receive the same care.
Dried lavender flowers. which are toe
| pungent when shifted directly. impart a
| pleasant odor to ones garment. and the.
are really cheap. Vanilla beans were q

Sham No. 2
Inferior Miks

We buy nothing but Holstein cows-the
worlds best breed. They are robust con-
tented, famous for their vitality.
Mongrel cows cost less money, of course,
but the difference fully shows in the milk.
The milk of common cows. evaporated,
costs just as much as Van Camps. It's value
is considerably less.
We cvaporate from our Holstein milk 4
full thirds of the water. The result is a
milk as thick as thick cream. Every can will
show q per cent SOLIDS per cent Lutter
fat
When this milk is reduced to the basis of
milkman's milk, the cost is about six cents
per quart
If we took out only one-tlird Of the water,
we could make more money. But the loss
would fall on you.
When someone says, This milk is as good
as Van Camps" don't take it unless. by ac-
tual comparison, you find it a rich As ours.

Small Five-Cent Cans
Sham No. 3

To this sham we confess to be parties,
For we, like the others. put up Scent cans.
But We do 50 only because mistaken people
demand them. And we tell you the facts
about them.
The Scent ean-whether of Van Camps or
others-contains bat six ounces of milk.
The 10-cent can-the large can of Van
Camp's-contains is ounces or . full pint.
So the large can gives you one-third more
than the small for your money. The differ.
ence in year is considerable.
Some people use the small cans for fear
the large won't keep. They are wrong. The
opened can will keep till you use it up.
Some buy the small cans because they use
the milk on the table only. They are losing
its greatest service. Van Camps for cook
ing is cheaper than raw milk, and vastly
more convenient. And it gives you the whole
rich milk, such - you don't get from the
milkman.

SUMMER DISHES.
Rose Jelly.

Charming decorative pieces are made OF
the transparent gelatine jelly and wild
rose. or rose petals Make the plain lemon
jelly, flavoring with rose. Pour very
thin layer Of the liquid jelly into indi-
vidual round oval molds and let it harden.
Then lay upon it a single briar rose or a
grouping of rose petals, and fill the mold
with the liquid jelly. Set away for sew
eral hours in the ice chest to harden.
When turned out the pink rose cleaning
through the thin cover Of transparent
jelly gives a beautiful effect.
Cherry Tapioca.
This calls for a pound and a half sour
cherries, one cup pearl tapioca, and sugar
to sweeten. Wash the tapioca in several
waters, cover with cold waer and soak
over night Put on the fire with one pint
boiling water and simmer slowly until the
tapioca is perfectly clear. Stone the cher
ries, stir into the boiling tapioca and
sWeeten to taste. Take from the fire,
turn into the uish in which II is to be
served and set to cool. Serve cold with
cream. This will make enough for eigh,
persons.

which is always convenient. It gives 70 milk
dishes flavor and richness which one never
can get from raw milk.
Condensed is = profitable milk for the
maker. That is why this old-fashioned milk
is continued. But it serves for only linn
tied use, and it costs twice as much as Van
Camps.

Sham No. l
Condensed Milk

Sweetened condensed milk contains about
20 per cent Of sugar. As result, the milk is
thin and watery.
The sugar was originally used to preserve
1t. But the discovery of sterilization made
sugar unnecessary.
To buy condensed milk means to waste
half of your money. First, because it is
nearly half sugar. Second, because of the
scanty cans-only IL ounces for 10 cents.
If you want = sweetened milk, the cheapest
way is to add the sugar yourself.
In Van Camps you get Is ounces for 10
eents-exaetly one-third more. And Van
Camps is all milk
Condensed milk, because of the sugar, is
unfit for cooking. Van Camps serves every
purpose.
It gives you for cooking whole rich milk

All evaporated milk is sterilized, and all
