Americas Finest Milk

We have diaries in seven states, each In the
heart of great dairying section. They are
supplied with high-bred Holstein cows.
To bring this milk to you in perfect condition
we employ famous Dutch and Swiss experts. Wo
have spent 100000 in the past seven years to
perfect our dairy processes.
The result is the finest milk produced in Amer
ica-equal to the miks of Switzerland. Please
note that. Whatever your prejudice against
canned milk" you will never in the world taste
better milk than Van Camps.

Nothing whatever is added - no sugar, no

Dear Madam:

Perhaps yon are still using raw. germ-laden

But you know that danger always turks Ia raw

And you know, or should know, tina. most infant

You know that pure milk is our greatest food

night looks as frosty as General
Washington himself looked on oc-
casions when deluded persons slapped
him on the back and called him
George. 1t was the original purpose
to construct a tomb for Washington
under the monument, but the guides
at Mount Vernon objected and the
plan was abandoned. No congress
man or other public official would be
SO rash as to lend his support to any
project that would reduce the number
of sightseeing places in and about the
capital
In design the monument is fitting.
Nothing could better symbolic the
lofty and spotless character OF Wash
ington than this plain towering white
shaft. There are plenty OF generals
astride of snorting war horses scatter
ed about the capital, and it was fitting
that the memorial to the Father OF
His Country should be something diff
ferent. Washington was a good deal
like the monument that has been rear
ed to him. Persons who saw him on
certain historical occasions when he
was mad clean through say he
looked 40 feet tall. A few Gliding
words from him had about the same
effect on the unfortunate subject OF
his remarks as the monument would
have if it should fall down on an
equally unfortunate passerby.

Chokinu on Data.

Some horses eat so greedily that
they become choked on oats. We have
one that troubled us in that way, so
we often had to send for a veterina-
rian, who inserted a tube down her
throat to dislodge the grain, says a
writer In an exchange. Later he told
us how to avoid the trouble in this
way: He advised us to place a dozen
or more smooth stones, the size Of a
small hens egg, in the feed box. TAX
ing care to have them well distributed
through the oats. This compels the
horse to eat less greedily, as he must
eat carefully to avoid biting on the
stones. We had no further trouble as
long as we owned the horse.

MANNER OF CONSTRUCTING

that they were 10 feet long and 5
1eet high when set up. The figure
shown is made of sawed stuff. but
they are more often made of gplit

is precisely the same. Holes are made
with bar, and they are set end to
end and pinned together at the top.
THESE, like those supported on the A

dipped in hot coal tar, they would
probably last as long as the rest OF

CEREMONIES FOR "COLORS'
Those to Be Observed in the Navy
Are Now Prescribed In
Detail.

No more will be hear the ''ruff1e of
the drum" or the exhilarating flourish
Of the bugle given as honors to the
national colors in the navy, for the
Secretary of the department has just
given orders to that effect.
The ceremonies to be observed at
"colors" on board Uncle Sans ships
and at naval stations, are prescribed
in detail. The field music and the
band, if there be one, must be pres
ent. At morning "colors" the band is
to play THE Star Spangled Banner"
at the beginning of which the ensign
will be started up and hOisted smart
ly TO the peak or truck.
All officers and men are to face the
ensign, and stand at attention. Sen
tries under arms will come to the po-
sitIon of present" while the national
air Is being played. At the end of the
air all officers and men will salute,
ending the ceremony.
In the absence of band, the field
music will sound the "colors" call ID
place of the national air; and honors
to foreign ensigns will be rendered in
the same manner, substituting the ap-
propriate national air. The same cere-
monies are to be observed at sunset
"colors." The ensign will be started
from the peak or truck at the begin
ming of the Star Spangled Banner"
1t is also prescribed that the ensign
shall not be lowered hurriedly.

billboard one would not be much diff.
ferent, and it would weigh 40 pounds
more.
AS to manufacture, should say, as
has already been suggested, that pref
ty close to where they are to be used
would be the best place to make them,
as one freight on the material would
be saved. Machinery does not enter
very largely into their construction;
so nothing could be saved in that
way. 1t ought not to require any
great skill to saw up boards and nail
them together, and also stretch wire
on them, If that form was desired.
In drawing these hurdles, 1 have
allowed the center uprights to come
down as far as the others; in prac-
tice, it might be found better to make
them shorter, especially If they were
to be set up on uneven ground. The
diagonals in Fig 4, being on opposite
sides Of inch uprights, will OF course
be an inch apart where they cross. /
should not fill this in, but draw them
together in mailing, as it will make the
frame all the stronger. Hemlock is
probably the best material for making
these, and it would undoubtedly last
enough longer to pay to have 1t dress

would be saved in freight to pay for

WORRIED OVER HIS WEIGHT
But Chief Justice Thinks SO Hard He
Can't Relax for Osteopath to
Reduce Fat.

Chief Justice Edward Douglas
White has established the reputation
of bordering over Supreme court
cases wherever he goes-at dinner
parties. social functions and especial
ly while walking from the capitol to
his home every afternoon.
Like President Taft, the chief JUS
tice is concerned about his weight.
Although a pedestrian, he finds that
walking does not help much. Exer-
cising did not seem to take off an
ounce of flesh, so the learned justice
decided to go to an osteopath. Mr..
White proved to be the most difficult
patient who ever entered the osteo-
paths Office.

where the tourist can be alone with
his money. Many visitors who have
made the pleasing discovery have re-
fused to leave this haven of refuge
until driven forth by hunger. When
the Washington guide wakes up to the
fact that hundreds of tourists are
daily left alone at the top of the mon
ument while the elevator descends to
pick up a new load he probably will
have the system changed. When that
times comes one Of the most thrilling
sights to be witnessed anywhere will
be the hunted tourist crawling out
the window at the top and sliding
down the lightning rod with the baf-
fed guide following, souvenirs in
hand.
At the top of the monument the Wis
itor begins to see things in their proper
proportion. Looking down from that
height a United States senator is seen
to be no bigger than other pedestrians.
A congressman is almost invisible. One
can also detect that in erecting the
government buildings the contractors
evidently spent less time and money
on the roofs than on those portions
of the structures visible from the
ground. Seen from the top there is
nothing to explain why a government
building should cost any more than
any other building
The view from the monument rs
very impressive. The guide admits
it before you go up. He says, however,
that inorder to enjoy it fully one
should purchase map OF the city. He
has a few left for which he has no
personal USE Without this map to
instruct him, he says, the sightseer is
likely to go home and tell the folks
the Potomac is on the north OF the
city, which would be a serious error.
The Washington monument was be-
gun in 1S48, but was not finished until
1884. Congress finally made up the
deficit by appropriating the money to
finish It, 1t is exceedingly well built
and likely to outlast most structures

manner. The left-hand end of panel
b slips in the right-hand end of panel
a, and section of the fence is shown
in Fig. 3. These panels are supposed
to be 10 feet long and feet high,
and the lumber l by 5-inch stuff, but
these dimensions can be varied to suit
the idea of the user. With these di-
mansions, however, the distance be-
tween the end uprights on panel ought
to be II inches. On panel the end
uprights ought to be Is inches from
either end. This ought to make the
fence worm about 4 feet. AS can be
readily understood, more or less worm
will be given to the fence by moving
the second upright from either end in
panel a.
A panel using wire instead of lum-
Der seems desirable, and in Fig.
have shown one that seems to me the
most desirable, as combining the great

GENERAL GRANTS INITIALS
He Became u. S. Through the Mis-
take of a Member of
Congress.

The way U. s. Grant secured his
initials is most interesting. They
were first given him as the result of
a mistake on the part of a member of
Congress. When christened Grant re-
ceived the name of Hiram Ulysses.
Fate, however, decreed that he should
bear the initials of his country, for,
when II years later he was appointed
q cadet in the United States Military
Academy, the member of Congress
who appointed him sent in his name
as Ulysses S. The young fellow vain
rected by the West Point authorities,
but finally submitted to the inevitable,
and after leaving the academy always
signed himself q. S. Grant.
The mistake happened quite natur-
ally. Grant had a brother, Samuel
Simpson, and the congressman while
guest at the house heard the youth
called Simpson. He was not aware
there was an older son, and supposed
he was quite correct in sending in the
name Ulysses Simpson.
When Grant was preparing to start
for West Point he noticed on his
trunk his initials, H. U. G. Immediate
ly he said: THAT won't do; it spells
hug, and will make me an object Of
ridicule." SO the name was trans
posed and the trunk lettered U. H. G.
When he left the military academy
four years later the initials were
again changed on the trunk to U. S.
