Six Cents Per Quart

Van Camps . as thick as thick cream--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 left over.
That saving, in itself, is enormous.
So you have a 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.

Nothing But Milk

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thrds the water evaporated. Nothing
whatever is added. Nothing is subtracted save
water
It's not peculiar milk
Our COWS are the finest breed. Our dairies
are in the best dairying sections. Our milk is
evaporated while it is fresh.
That slight almond favor-apparent only when
the milk is drunk colds due to sterilization.
1t means nothing added. 1t indicates simple
purity
When you heat the milk-as in cooking or
ooffee-the almond flavor disappears. You have
then the natural flavor Of milk or cream, save
our surprising richness.

No Disease Germ.

The bane of raw milk is disease germs. For
any germ in milk breeds with frightful rapidity.
There may be germs of consumption from
tubercular cows, which are common. Infections
may come from diseased milkmen or from dirty
dairies.
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.
p Our cows are inspected; so are the men who
milk them. Our dairies are sanitary. Our
buildings are built without wood. We make a
business of cleanliness.
Then Van Camps is pasteurized after the cans
are sealed. Not germ of any kind can remain

But Be Careful

Condensed milk is half sugar. You can't use
it for cooking Don't think that Van Camps is
like that
And don't think that all evaporated milks are
alike.
Van Camps Milk shows about 8 per cent Of
butter fat. That's because we use Hostein
milk, and take out two-thirds the water.
But milk less rich, and with more water left
in, may still be called "evaporated."

brands you will see what a difference there is

MYSTERY SURROUNDS WoRKMANs DISAPPEARANCE
Frank Johnson, Carpenter. Has Seem- in9Iy Disappeared From Earth.

Without a word with his friends or even his employer. Frank John son suddenly disappeared rom Mesa during the early part of May and has not been heard of since. John son is a carpenter and a firstclass workman. He came here from RoOse- welt where lie had worked for some time. He erected a six-room house for Chas. Hill east of town on the desert and then erected a small store building on the Roosevelt road four miles east of town also for MT Hill. He had just completed this work and without collecting his money or even intimating in anyway that he was going to leave the country disappear ed. He had a kit of valuable tools as well as a pay check due him from MT. Hill which has never been called for. Marshal Peterson and Deputy Sheriff Burton have the case in hand and are hunting for a clue.
 Johnson is a man weighing about 190 pounds and of a sandy com plection About the only clue that the officers have to go on is that John son was a hard drinker when he once got started It is a common occur renee for tradesmen, who are subject to periodical drunks to leave town in the midst of their hilarity, but they invariably send for their tools and any back wages. The peculiar feature of the case is that Johnson does not do this.
