For, remember, the aeroplane tea is
the very latest of our late functions
as up-to-the-second as are the toque
russ and siIver-heeIed bottines, or such
things, and quite enjoyable, too.
OF course. everyone who has been
TO Fort Niger during the time the
Wrights have been here this summer
probably has seen Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth pouring tea from her supply of
thermos bottles for ambassadors, Sena-
tors, generals, captains. dukes. counts,
and friends, but that isn't a real aero
plane tea. It lacks the true flavor Of
such a function. The Fort Myer affair
is held too close to the scene of action.
Now the real dyed-in-the-pot sort OF
aeroplane tea is held upon the spacious
roof of one Of our largest apartment
houses. It starts about o'clock in the
evening and lasts-well. it lasts some
time. one doesn't speak Of time in
reference TO such affairs.
The hostess, or possibly the host. fur

the crowd to lose sight of the fact that
he IS really a cavalryman by trade and
is working at shooting through the at
mOsphere as a pastime And besides.
Mr.. Lahm knows things about policing.
In fact he is the only army officer up
to date who has been able TO properly
patrol both decks of the two-storied
parade grounds at Fort Myer. He and
Orville Wright performed in the upper
story Tuesday, but it was yesterday
that he gave the great exhibition of
how to separate the sheep from the
goats on the ground foor-using nothing
but a light riding crop and a springy
horse
When the crowd of goats slipped
through the fimsy military fence after
the back to the shed" signal had been
hoisted on the starting derrick, and at
tempted TO run over the machine before
the signal corps men could dispose Of
it, one IN particular Of the billy per-
suasion, whose long beard proclaimed
him a leader of the herd. hunched him
self into the crowd Of newspaper men
standing beside the machine. And then
Mr. Lahm gallOped up. Without hesi-
tation he spotted the goat and smilingly
The goat moved not. He stood like
he belonged. But Lahm had seen his
whiskeTs and tapping him lightly on the
shoulder again requested him TO get
back where ne came from.
The goat protested But there was
nothing doing. A man who can bali
loon farther than anybody else and
monkey around nOnchalautly from fifty
feet to a mile above terra firma isn't
10 be hastily frOwned down.
The goat had to go. He walked
few steps and then turned as though he
thought Lahm had forgotten him and
he could get back. But he was the
Mary that this little Lahm was look
ing for and he found himself followed.
He lodged to escape the horse, and
found the horse where he was dodg-
ine.
Mr.. Goat thought it was funny and
kept lodging his 200-Odd avoirdpOis Over
the drill field with the rangy bay and
the RANGER Lahm right with him at
every jump until he finally landed L.
side the ropes. And then Lahm went
after another.

Of the buildings down town, many Of
these teas have. been held within the
last few days. Army women and others
connected closely with events of inter
est to the Government have taken this
way of seeing things out at Fort Myer
without the disCOmfOrting journey and
the long wait on the hot parade ground.
As long as fights are being made the

According to all the rules Of argu-

Fort Myer parade grounds this even
ing, give one little jerk and sail out
into the blue with Lieut.. Benjamin d

although the wind this morning
wasn't blowing with the propitious gen
tleness Of a zephyr, the brightness Of the
day and the absence Of any indications
Of rough weather, lead logically to the
conclusion that the evening at Fort
AIyer should be peaceful and mt for fly
ing purposes.
The aero itself is in fne fettIe. The
uneventful last night disclosed the fact
that the engine is running with the
famous old regularity Of clock ana

Both the chevaliers went out TO Fort

and then came back to the city. There
really wasn't anything they could do
except look, because there wasn't one
detail that hasn't been foreseen, so far

So, you get one-third more FOR ten cents in
Van Camps, in addition to getting pure milk.
Please think that over. Twelve ounces Of
condensed milk cost 10 cents, and 30 per cent is
sugar.
You get 10 ounces of Van Camps for 10 cents,
and you pay for nothing but milk.
The Washington times., 1909-07-30
There's a Fearful Waste In
Condensed Milk
using seetened condensed milk, you paying milk
price for bulk of sugar And the milk untitled for cooking

We do not make P condensed milk. Van
Camps is nothing but milk-rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated.
No sugar is added, no starch, no preservative.
Every drop is pure milk, reduced to the
minimum.
If we added, as some do, z large percentage
of sugar, it would greatly add to our profits.
But you would be paying for the milk that you
get about twice what you pay for Van Camps.
The Washington times., 1909-07-30
Figure it Out

Van Camps Milk costs you 10 cents per
pound-with two-thirds the water evaporated.
That means, when reduced to mikmans milk,
about cents per quart. The poorest evaporated
milk isn't cheaper.
The best of sugar costs hUe cents per pound
just half as much as evaporated milk.
The Washington times., 1909-07-30
Unfit for Cooking

Condensed milk serves only for use on the
table. The sugar ulfts it for cooking.
Van Camps is exactly as good on the table.
If you want the sweetness, add the sugar
there.
And Van Camps is ideal for cooking. Such
richness and favor is never obtained from raw
milk.
In Van Camps you get ali the butterfst, ali
the solids, that belong to the richest milk. And
you never get them all in milkman's milk after
it stands awhile.
You lose all this advantage when you buy
condensed, yet you pay full double price.
So don't be mised. Get the worth Of your
money. Insist that your dealer delivers Van
Camps.
The Washington times., 1909-07-30

The l6-oz. can OF Van Camps costs 10 cents;
the COZ. can costs cents. So the larger cans
are the cheaper. Grocers give discounts on
cases.
Our dairiss are IN six states.

But Louis Pasteur invented better way.
Now, preserving by sugar is an out-of-date
process. Every authority advocates sterilization.
Now sugar IS added only because some people
are used to it, and they don't realize the price
that they pay for it.

Fielding Academy Notes.

Paris. Jan 5.-Monday brought to
the halls of this dear old institution a
very tired looking set of students, in
stead of bright, happy and refreshed.
But Tuesday everyone seemed to have
again taken up his work and nothing
but determination is written on each
students face. The work is hard and
each one realizes that to accomplish
what he has set out to do he must s'get
IN, stay in and push. Probably one
reason why everyone is trying to do
their best, is that a time is drawing
near when Fielding must be brought
forth and its merits shown to everyone.
