Dear Miss Grey:
Will you give me a receipt for
picking onions? o. B.
A.: Select small white onions.
Lay them in strong brine for hys
days. Drain and put into a fresh
supply of brine, this time boiling
hot. Cook five minutes. Drain
and cover with cold water for a
day. Drain, turn onions into jars
and pour scalding spiced vinegar
over them. Cover.

Dear Miss Grey:
/ would like a rule for making
mushroom catsup. e. p.
A.: Break into quarters fresh
firm mushrooms. Put a layer In
an earthen crock and sprinkle
with salt. Alternate in this way
until all are used. Cover and set
on cellar floor for three days, stir
ring well with wooden spoon three
times day. Then warm, mash
to pulp, and strain through a
coarse netting, squeezing out all
the Juice. Boil this ten minutes
and measure. To every pint add a
teaspoon whole peppers and all
spice, blade of mace, two slices
of onion, bayleaf and a dash of
paprika. Put over fire and cook
until thick. Strain, cool and fill
bottles with the catsup. Seal
tightly.

Stewed celery is an excellent
way to use the larger, tougher
stalks. Cut into half-inch bits and
put in ice cold water for an hour.
Stew tender in slightly sailed
water. Drain and transfer to an
other saucepan containing a cupful
of heated milk, thicken it with a
tablespoonful of butter, rubbed in
a teaspoonful Of flour. and stir to
a boil. Mix the celery we'll with

heat all together for one minute,

Don't be Misled

II you want Holstein milk, reduced to the
minimum, you will always insist Van
Camps.
Others may claim that common milk, only
partly reduced, is Just as good as Van
Camps. But it isn't.
And don't think that condensed ~ TX, which
is nearly half sugar, is anything like Van
Camps. Van Camps contains no Sagar-no
addition whatever.
Sugar was used to preserve mix before the
days of sterilization. 1t is entirely unneces-
sary now. IF you want sugar, you can buy
it for half what it costs in can Of milk.
And condensed milk, because of the sugar
is unfit for cooking. You can't use It as you
can Van Camps. So. please let no one mis-
lead you.

No Tubercular Cows

The chief danger in raw milk lies in tuber-
cular germs. Millions Of infected cows,
MIXED every day, are spreading consumption
at a terrible rate.
That is why every authority advises steril-
lied milk
Van Camps milk is sterilized, but that
isn't all Our cows are inspected, we
know none is infected.
Our diaries are sanitary in the extreme.
Our evaporsting plants built without
wood. We employ every modern precaution.
The result is a milk which is utterly
sterile. A milk that is safe, without a germ
of any kind in IL
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-10-29
Six Cents Per Quart

The cost of Van Camps, when you re-
place the water which we evaporate, is about
six cents per quart.
The Decent can contains a full pint of milk
reduced TO the minimum. And grocers give
discounts on cases.
So Van Camps is cheaper than raw milk,
because your milkman's daily delivery costs
more than the milk itself.
AnG you have no waste when you use Van
Camps. You never have milk left over You
open can when you want it, and it keeps
til you use it up.

Milk from Hiah-Bred HoIsteins
Six Cents Per Quart
That what Van Camps Milk actually rch sterile milk
milk and every puposeaays

The first can you get of Van Camps milk
will open a new era in your household econ
ony.
No more buying from hand 10 mouth, no
more shortage, no more waste.
No more germ-laden milk for your table.
No more half-milk-sLmmed settled-to
be used in cooking.
No more milk from mongrel cows-nothing
but genuine Holstein.
That is why you won't 60 back to the
TniIkTnan when we once win you away.

A Cow In the Kitchen

Van Camps means a COW in the kitchen.
Rich milk or cream for every purpOse-au
you want and all the time.
Add one part water for coffee or cereals.
It is then like the richest cream. For cook
ing or drinking, reduce as you like.
Van Camps gives to milk dishes twice the
richness and flavor that you get from raw
milk. For TINS is whole milk, with all the
butter fat, all the solids in it.
In nlilkman's milk, the butter fat rises and
the solids fall. You don't get the whole milk
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-10-29

from any part of the can. Then you let it
stand ana it separates more So the milk used
for cooking is rarely more than half-milk-
You'll be amazed at the flavor which Van
Camps gives to milk dishes. Not the slight
almond favor, due to sterilization, apparent
when Van Camps is drunk cold. You get
that same flavor from milkrnans milk when
you heat it. The delicious favor that Van
Camps gives to milk dishes is due to the
richness, the whoIeness of the milk.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-10-29

The 1907. 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. GToeers
give discounts on cases.
The milk is produced at
our diaries, located in six
states.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-10-29

This milk, fresh from the cows, is placed
in 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 as thick as thick
cream. 1t contains % per cent total solids,
and per cent butter fat.
We use no sugar, no starch, no preserva-
tive. Van Camps is simply rich Holstein
milk, reduced for convenience in shipping.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-10-29
Rich Holstein Milk

We buy none but Holstein cows-the
worlds finest breed, famed for their splen-
did vitality.
The milk from such cows Is immeasurably
better for children than the milk of mongrel
COWS.

WASTE In DISEASE

New York. May 2s.---(speciaI )---How
enormous the loss Of the whole eoun-
try is every year from deaths due
to diseases which are readily pre-.
ventable, may be estimated from sta
tistics which have 1ust bAen collected
here by the Bureau Of Municipal Re-
search.
These figures show that the cost to
New York City alone from this cause
is more than S100.oo0.oo0. OF course
this sum 10 not actually paid cut for
the privilege Of having typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and other diseases, nor
would the citv have that much more
cash II 1t did not have. the disease.
Nevertheless the loss IL a real one. for
with $4,000 deaths each year from pre-
ventable causes the annual deprivation
is figured at sos. 100000. adopting the
estimate of $4,000 as the average eco
nomic valve Of each loss sacrificed. II
the same ratio holds good throughout
the whole country. 1t would follow
that the American people are wasting
upward Of $4,000. 100000 worth OF hu-
man lives unnecessarily every year.
The number OF persons AFFLICTED with
this class OF diseases shows little II
any dininution. but there Is some com.
fort to be found In the fact that the
Improvement in fnedicadI science and
in hospital practice Is gradually reduce
ing the average length of illnesses
The report Of the Flower Hospital. just
made public. shows that in 1902 the
average length Of a patients stay In
the institution was twenty-one days,
while in 1908 It was only 1919 days.
OF course the greater part Of this re-
duction is due to the efficiency Of the
work OF the institution founded by
former Governor Flower. but Il shows
a decrease In the economic loss from
preventable diseases in one respect at
least.
