COMPLAINTS OF EXPRESS COMPANIES,

WO years ago the state of Nebraska de-
cided that the charges of the express
companies were too high The Legislature
passed a law making a fiat cut in the rates.
There was much criticism of this method Of
regulation, it was thought that better plan
could have been adopted. The express COM
panies appealed to the courts, and the Supreme
Conyt of the state has sustained the Legislature
by deciding that its law was not lacking in fair
ness. The fixed charges will stand.
Other Western states have long been dssat-
ished with the service Of the express companies,
but dissatisfaction IS not confined TO the West.
Here in Delaware, years ago, there was an
agitation against the alleged eXorbitant charges
Of the express companies, but it did not get
very far. The companies are allowed to do
about as they please in Delaware. We have no
regulation Of public service corporations and are
not likely to have until the people wake up.
The latest expression of any one in authority
on this matter was the opinion Of the Whining
ton delegates to the convention of the American
municipalities in Montreal. These delegates
see little good in public service boards and IN
this they agree cordially with the owners OF
public service corporations.
The clamor against the express service is not
abating in the West. And this clamor is not
the noise of "demagogues" as corporation papers
would say, but it is the protest of merchants
and manufacturers. A Chicago newspaper de-
clares that the express rates from that city 70
other points in the state are so high and the SER
vice is so bad that business mems movement
was started which sought relief from the Legs-
lature. But the corporations are powerful in
the Illinois Legislature, as they are in Della
ware and the members of the Illinois Legs-
lature merely smiled.
An effort is now making in Chicago to bring
the express companies under the operation OF
the Interstate Commerce law, but the task is
long and tedious. Besides Mr.. Taft suggests
sweeping changes in the Interstate Commerce
law, and no one can tell what its functions will
be after it has been made over by Congress.
But it would be good idea to have the Inter
state Commerce Commission given jurisdiction
over the express companies.
OF course one remedy against the charges
of express companies would be a parcels post
system. With a parcels post the express COM
panies would be forced to give good service at
adequate rates or quit business But in lieu of
that, other states may be expected to follow
the example of Nebraska and make regulations
to govern the express companies.

CONSULTATION 1NcREAs1Na.

7 has generally been supposed that con-
sumption Is on the decrease but according
to Nathan Strauss, the New York phiIanthropisf
who recently appealed to the international Med
lcal Congress to stop the spread Of disease that
results from the use of injected milk. submitted
figures to prove that tuberculosis is actually on
the increase as compared with other diseases.
He showed that the increasing skill of the
physicians in treating tuberculosis had reduced
the death rate from this disease in proportion
to the population from 24I per 1000 in 1902 to
230 per 1000 IN 1907. and 2.2Q in 1908, but that
the number OF deaths from tuberculosis in pro.
portion to the total number Of deaths from all
causes had increased from 1904 per cent in
1902 to 1900 in 1908. The population Of New
York has increased twenty-six per cent since
1902. while the number OF new cases Of tubercu-
losis reported in a year has increased 100 per
cent.
Growth OF the city has added os7ao1 to the
population, while the spread of tuberculosis has
added II,I72 to the armv of consumptves. until
the vast resources of the great metropolis are
taxed to the utmost to care Tor these victims of
the great white plague.

No Disease Germs

The bsns Of raw milk is disease germs. For
any germ in milk breeds with frightful rapidity.
There may be germs Of consumption from
tuberciilar cows which are common. Infections
may come from diseased milkmen or from dirty
dairics
These germs make raw milk the most terrible
foe of humanity. For one thing, two-thirds our
infant mortality is due to them.
Van Camps milk is germless.
Our cows are inspected; so are the men who
milk them Our darics are sanitary Our
buildings are built without wood. We make
business OF cleanliness.
Then Van Camps is pasteurired after the cans
are sealed Not germ of any kind can remain
in it.

Six Cents Per Quart

Van Camps is as thick as thick eream--so
thick that you add one part water for coffee.
Yet it doesn't cost half what you pay your milk
man for cream.
Add two parts water and you have rich milk.
The cost of such milk, when you buy Van
Camps by the case, is but six cents per quart
Then you have no waste-no milk lef. over.
That saving, in itself, is enormous.
So you have COW in your kitchen--rich milk
or cream whenever you want it. And it costs
less than hand-to-mouth buying
You have pure, rich milk for less than you
pay your milkman.

Yet that favor is not artificial II comes solely

You are used to cooking with haif-miik--you
who buy from the milkman. For milkman's
milk separates, before and after you get il.
The butter fat rises; the solids fall You get
so you don't know what whole milk means.
You get all the milk in Van Camps
Evening journal., 1909-09-30
But Be Careful

Condensed milk is half sugar You can't use
it for cooking Don't think that Van Camps il
like that
And don't think that all evsporased niIks are
alike
Van Camps milk shows about 8 per cent OF
butter fat. That's because we use Holstein
milk, aud take out two-thirds of the water.
But milk less rich and with more water left
in, may still be called -evsporated"
If you'll compare Van Camps with other
brands. you will see what difference there is.
Yet others cost as much
as Van Camps. -
Evening journal., 1909-09-30

Milk means.
A milk you can serve and know that there
isn't a germ Of any kind in it.
A milk you can cook with and know you
arc getting all the butter fat that belongs

Il is both milk and cream
