Serves Every Purpose

For coffee OF cereals, add one part water,
for Van Camps is as thick as thick cream.
For cooking or drinking, add little more
water Reduce to the richness desired.
Van Camps gives to milk dishes a rich
ness and havo which you never get from
raw milk.
Millman's mill separates-before and af-
ter you get 1t. So your cooking milk. usu
ally, is scarcely more than half-milk
The Washington times., 1909-09-03

The 1902. 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.
The milk is produced at
our dairies, in six states,
and sold by 2rocers
everywhere.

Six Cents Per Quart

The lo-cent can of Van Camps contains
full pint If you buy by The case, as every
one should, the cans will cost less than 10
cents.
When you replace the water which we take
out, you have rich Holstein milk at about
six cents per quart.
1t IS chcarer than raw milk, for half the
price Of raw milk is the cost Of the daily de-
livery.
And Van Camp means a COW in your kitchen.
Rich milk or cream at any time, as little or

No shortage; no planning in advance for
your needs. And no waste whatever An

You buy a case at a time, and all your
milk needs are supplied for a month or more.

Nothing whatever is added, and nothing

His medical adviser DR.. Lyle. said
so this morning and reiterated it late
this afternoon. His spiritual adviser,
Rev. ]. Holmes McGuiness. asserted
the same after visiting Hartman this
afternoon. How far Hartman is i'm
proved is still a matter of conjecture.
His condition is still a subject OF
alarming rumors. Official informa
ton today failed to quiet these re
ports: and there seems to be some
ground for the reports that he suf
fered a second slight attack of indi
gestion yesterday.
There is no doubt that his recent
condition has been desperate. Evi
dence of this was furnished today By

Coming so quick upon other dra-
matte incidents of the week, Pearys
denial that Cook achieved the tri-
umph for which he had been feted and
honored in Copenhagen, had been
read here with feelings of amaze
ment and concern. But Cook seems
undisturbed. He is perfectly cool and
apparently unmoved when confronted
tonight with the kilograms saying
that peary denounced him as an inn
poster His demeanor has not changed
the slightest since he landed in Co
penhagen.
Urged to Make Statement.
Cooks friends had urged him TO
the utmost to make any statement
possible for publication, but he had
said repeatedly that all he had to say
for the present was, that he possess
ed proofs that he visited the North
pole on April 81. 1908. These proofs
would be given to the world. They
we're convincing, and in due time
would be given to the world. When
II was suggested that his chances OF
proving his case might be ruined un
less he made satisfactory statemen,
Immediately, he smiled--his usual
quiet smile--and asked how could q
man be ruined by popular clamor call
ing him an impostor when he had
proofs of his case which could and
would be published, as he had of
times repeated when they were ir
proper form to be given out.
Regarding the controversy over hi'
alleged taking of Pearys stores
Cook asserts he has written for othe
satisfactory evidence that Peary tool
his stores, perhaps believing hin
dead. Harry Whitney is PERSONAL,
acquainted with al the facts and per
haps what he has to say when he re
turns may be interesting" added thu
explorer Then Cook remarke'
quietly: Make as little as you cal
of this and don't say anything disa
greeable about Peary."
