HOUSEHOLD HINTS.


Remnants of laundry soap can be
boiled into a jelly or soft soap for dish
washing, or shaved into the wash boiler
on wash day.
Housekeepers will quickly recognize
the convenience of keeping their spices
in glass jars. A glance tells them
when more is needed.

ALL ABOUT BORAX.


Keep it in the kitchen.
It's needed in the nursery.
1t must be kept in the bathroom.
Its antiseptic effects are simply great.
1t must be pure-not adulterated
with soda.
Soda, of course. is perilously drying
to the skin.
And one doesn't need very much Of
even the best boraX.
But a little borax in the hard water
in which we must battle is good.
AT bedtime the face may be given a
good soap scrubbing. but in the morn
ing a dash of cold water softened with
a trine sof borax is good.

placed on a folded napkin on platter

and quarters of lemon or with ferns

y How We Can Do 1t

In the first place we sell some millions OF quarts
per month. Every day we milk $4,000 cows.
Close to each dairy we have an evaporating
plant. The milk fresh from the cows is there
placed in a vacuum. There a moderate heat-on

account OF the vacuum
-evaporates two
thirds of the water.
That is done to save
shipping bulk.
The milkman's main
cost is his daily deliv-
cry. That costs more
than the milk, and we
save all that.

sterile, amazingly rich. A swiss-like milk as fine
as cows ever gave.
A milk without waste always convenient
always of maximum richness.
It is twice as good as the average milkman's
milk. Its extra richness shows in every milk dish.
Yet it is considerably cheaper than the poorest
milk that milk wagons ever deliver. All these facts
can be proved in your own home, in a single day.

Thick as Thick Cream

Van Camps comes to you as thick as thiei;
cream. So rich that you add one part water for
coffee, cereals or ice cream. 1t is % per cent
solids, 8 per cent butter fat.
When you use it in cooking the dishes you
make have astonishing richness and flavor. Some
think we add something to give it. But we don't.
Van Camps is simply pure milk not an atom
of anything added.
But milkinan's milk, when it comes to tie
cooking, is rarely more than a half milk. 1t sep
arates in standing. The butter fat rises and the
solids fall. In Van Camps you get the whole,
rich milk, just as it comes from the COW. That
is why milk dishes made with it surprise you at
FIRST.

in the peninsular campaign was sit

Orderlies were riding up to the tent
every few minutes with news of the
steady approach of the enemy. The
duke did and said nothing, but by the
knitting of his brOws was supposed to
DE deep in thought. Presently he turn
ed to his companions and said: WAS
your egg well cooked. Picton? Mine
was abominable" The Iron Duke"
was not careless of the issue of the
battle about to be fought. but had
made his arrangements long before and
knew exactly how the enemy would
advance and how to counterfeit it.
