For coffee or cereals, add one part water,

For cooking or drinking, add little more

Van Camps gives to milk dishes a rich

raw milk.
Mlkman's milk separates-before and af
ter YOU get it. SO your cooking milk, usu-
ally is scarcely more than half-milk
In Van Camps you get the whole milk

Constantine is authority for the state

Everything depends on whether the

Not Like CONDENSED"

Don't think of Van Camps as CON
densed" milk, for condensed milk is nearly
half sugar. Sugar was the old way of pre-
serving milk before the days of sterilization.
Condensed" milk is SO largely sugar that
it is very expensive. And you can't use it
for cooking because it's too sweet Such
unnatural milk is long out of date. Van
Camps is natural milk, preserved by mod
ern methods.
Nor is Van Camps like other brands OF
evaporated. For this is Holstein milk, re-
duced to the minimum bulk.
Common milk, only partly cvaporated, is
often said to be as good as Van Camps.
But nearly every housewife knows that it
isn't. So don't be misled.
