Six Cents Per Quart

How can such milk-rich Holstein milk
be sold on the basis of six cents per quart?
Let us tell you.
The milk is put up at our diaries, and
two of these diaries are not far from this
city.
We take the fresh milk as it comes from
the COW and evaporate two-thirds of the
water. That saves much of the cost of
transporting.
The evaporating is done in vacuum.
And, because of the vacuum, very moder-
ate heat is sufficient
The milk, when reduced, is put up in
sealed cans. Then every can is sterilized.
That is all. No sugar is added, as in
condensed milk no starch, no preservative
Van Camps is nothing but the richest milk
reduced to the thickness of the thickest
cream.
You can replace part or all of the water,
according to your use for the milk.
The Detroit times., 1910-03-28
For Every Purpose

Van Camps is so rich that you add one
part water for coffee. For cooking or
drinking, dilute as you like. 1t is best
not to use it too rich.
Van Camps gives to milk dishes a rich
ness and flavor which you never can get
from raw milk. The reason is this: Van
Camps is whole milk. 1t contains all the
butter fat and all the solids that belong to
the richest milk.
Mlkman's milk separates. The butter fat
rises and the solids fall. Top milk lacks
much of the solids; bottom milk lacks but
ter fat. From no part of the milk can
do you get the whole milk.
When you use Van Camps in cooking.
and learn how whole milk tastes, you will
never again cook with half milk.
The Detroit times., 1910-03-28
The Saving is Here

The main cost of raw milk is the cost of
daily delivery. Milk dealers say that each
milk wagon costs them about $Ioo per
month.
We save this heavy cost.
We ship Van Camps in large lots to your
grocer And he perhaps sells you a case at
a time. That means months supply
You have the milk always on hand, and
open can when you want it. No waiting
for the n.ilkman, no shortage, no waste.

Every authority now agrees that milk to
be safe must be sterilized In Van Camps
this is already done.
But don't think that condensed" milk,
which is nearly half sugar, is anything like
Van Camps. And don't think that all
evaporated milks are alike. They are not.

Milk Prices

The tall can of Van Camps contains a
full pint of the evaporated milk. 1t costs
ten cents when you buy one can, and less
when you buy by the case.
When you reduce this milk to the rich
ness of milkman's milk, it costs around six
cents per quart.

New Jersey. attaining a maximum
depth of ninety-seven feet below mean
high water and built for a heavy and
high speed traffic of great volume. was
an undertaking with little or no prece-
dent. To accomplish this work was a
most puzzling engineering problem on
account of the soft mud through which
the tunnels were driven under the
Hudson river.
The tunnels or tubes themselves con-
sist of a series of iron rings, and the
installation of every ring meant an ad-
vance of two and n half feet. Eleven
plates and key piece at the top COM
plete the circumference and an entire
ring weighs about fifteen tons. The
cast iron plates, or sections of the
ring. have tlanges at right angles TO
the surface, and II is through these
that the SUCCESSIVE rings are held to-
gether with bolts. The record progress
in one day of eight hours was five Of
these rings, or twelve and one-half
feet. Hydraulic rams, placed against
the hanges every few inches around
the tube, were used to push forward
the huge shields with which the tun-
nels were bored. Each shield weighed
1914 tons. 1t had nine doors in Il, and
through these came the rock or sand
or silt or whatever the material the
tube penetrated.
IL the tunnel project was to be sue
cess the courses of the east and west
bound shields had to be kept so true
that they would meet exactly To in
sure this the engineers calculated the
difficulties closely, and a really remark
able system of reports was In effect
from the first day work was started
Every morning they knew the progress
made in the tunnels the day before to
the very inch and the amount of rock
and soil eXcavated to the cubic foot.
The Pennsylvania railroad officers and
the engineers hold this perfect system
and the thoroughness OF each days
work chiefly responsible for the
prOmptness of the meeting of the
tubes. Engineers say, too, that no
project was ever carried out where
the emphasis was so entirely upon the
results rather than upon the money 1t
cost to attain them.
The shields in the north tube under
the Hudson river met on Sept. IT, 1906
Each had travelled some 5000 feet
through a treacherous river bed. yet
the meeting was perfect. About a
month later the shields In the south

worlds fair was used. 1t consisted Of
eight rings. The shields in the four
East river tunnels met as perfectly as
those In the Hudson tubes. and all
were completed at about the same time.
When the tubes were through from
end to end the work OF putting in the
re- enforced concrete lining was started
Immediately. This lining Is twenty
two inches thick. On each side Of the
tunnel there is a so called bench three
feet wide, which serves as walk.
while within will be carried conduits
for telegraph, telephone, signal and
power wires.
In the construction OF the tunnels
nothing was left undone by the rail-
read company TO protect the lives and
health of the worlSmen. NO engineer
ing problem connected with the entire
New York tunnel extension received
more attention than the many precau-
tions TO protect the hundreds of men
who, day and night, week days and
Sundays and holidays, bored the under
river tunnels. Down under many
fathoms of mud and rock the steel
tubes which are to land passengers
from the east and west into the heart
of New York city were pushed steadily
forward with no more waste of time
than 1t took TO change shifts"
Underwater work has a fe- ..'ome
sound-to those who have nev,r seen
II going on. Talk to men who have
been engaged In 1t for years, and one
gets another idea. There are plenty
who can speak with authority, for the
world was searched for men of expe-
rlence to build the Pennsylvania tun-
nels. On the cross town shafts sixty
Austrians who got their training in
the Simplon tunnel were employed

WAITING, ROOM.
i GENERAL VIEW,

South Africa, England and America
and who now are doubtless looking for
other subterranean regions to conquer.
All the excitement was taken out OF
one novice's visit back of tunnel
shield by finding Tom Brown. the old
est foreman on the contractors stan.
seated on a pile Of river bed silt grave
ly squeezing mud balls for the pur-
pose of finding how much water the
sand carried at that spot. That moth
ing but the air pressure kept the whole
Of the river from descending on his
head worried him not the least.
But the dangers OF the work? Dan
gers there were, OF a certain risk OF
| injury, but not enough to worry a man
| in good health who observed the rules
that stared him in the face from every
wall
To make Il as safe under the bed Of
the river as II is on the lands surface
was the aim OF the Pennsylvania tun-
mel builders. The old Hudson river
| tunnel which crosses the Hudson at
Merton street was abandoned at one
time because so many lives were lost
The main difficulty was to keep the
river from coming into the tube and
drowning the workmen. The air under
the heavy pressure required to keep
the water from sweeping in sometimes
blew out through the river bottom.
and then the water poured in In such
volume that there was little or no time
for escape.
In the Pennsylvania railroad tunnels
the life of the ''sand hog was almost
as safe as that of the surface worker.
| Emergency locks, air curtains and
| emergency platforms or walks near the
roof of the tunnel were provided so
! that in case Of blowout and conse-
auent flooding OF the tunnel the men
would have a chance TO escape through
the air held in the top of the tunnel.
The most important OF the rules en-
forced while the Pennsylvania tunnels
were being built was one requiring the
men TO go slowly through the air locks.
The rule was TO take q minute for
about two pounds of pressure-in 9TH
er words, In coming out OF pressure
OF thirty-four pounds man should
spend not less than fifteen minutes In
the lock. Finding that, this rule was
ignored, Henry Japp. managing en-
gineer of the contractors who built the
East river tubes, devised a valve
which enabled the lock tender to re6u-
late the change of pressure with me-
chanical exactness.

traffic In and out of New York city
within the past twenty years prompted
the Pennsylvania railroad to undertake
and carry to its successful elimination
this greaG work. The reasons for the
undertaking are thus expressed official
ly.
First-To provide for the future by
enlargng the present facilities tor
freight and passenger traffic because
of the continuous growth in this traf-
fic and to accomplish it before the cost
became almost prohibitive or the task
impossible because of the construction
of other underground transportation
lines.
Second.-To run it's passenger trains
into a central location in the city of
New York instead of station on the
west bank of the Hudson river.
Third.-To open to the people in the
thiclly populated borough of Manhat-
tan the residential sections of Long
Island and to offer to Newark and 9TH
err populous towns in New Jersey di-
rect and quick access to the resorts on
Long Island beaches.
Fourth.--To provide an all rail con-
nection between the south and west on
the one hand and New England and
the east on the other.
Fifth.-To give the boroughs of
Brooklyn and Queens, with their popu-
lation of over 100000. direct railroad
connections to ana from the New Eng
land, southern and western states and
to supply freight facilities with similar
connections In these boroughs, thereby
properly serving the entire area OF
Greater New York through freight sta
lions suitably located to develop its
commercial interests.
Sixth.-To provide additional freight
facilities and shorten the water trans
portation trip for the New England
traffic across New York harbor from
about twelve miles to three and four
tenths miles,
seventh.--To make It's Long Island
railroad investment remunerative with
in a comparatively short period
Fighth.--To obtain a proper share Of
the golden future by judicious expendi-
lures in a territory having abundant
promise, whether viewed from the
growth OF traffic in the past or the out
look for the future.

Jean Richepin's First Lesson as an In.
structor In Literatura


struotor In Literature.
At the age Of twenty-five Jean Richie
pin, the French poet and dramatic au-
thor, accepted place as instructor in
literature in school which prepared
students for the military college of
st. Cyr. His employers warned him
that the future army officers took very
little interest in belles-lettres and that
their principal occupation in class was
raising chaos.
Richepins first lesson began amid
storm Of whistling and catcalls. But
the young Instructors voice doomed
out above the uproar and imperiously
commanded silence Gentlemen" he
said, II am not here because like II.

And. so saying, young Richepin

the desk, and the desk broke In two,
and he and his pupils lived happily
ever afterward. Thus runs the official

Lovers of Sports.

The Anglo-Saxons love sport. No
matter in what part of the world they
are found the spirit is strong among
them. Wherever the restless Anglo
Saxon dominates the love of sport is
dominant. The Americans are-at
least the most Of them-descendants Of
this virile race, and nowhere is the
love of sport so much exhibited as In
this country. Our people are patrons
Of horse racing, Of baseball, of golf. Of

Americans are, for the reason that the
opportunities are greater here.--Nash-
