Free From Germs

The vital fact is that this milk is steriized after
being sealed. 1t is absolutely free from germs.
Milkman's milk, as you know, is always germ
laden. There are millions Of germs in each spoon
full Careful people, in these days, demand
sterilized milk for their tables. Van Camps

How We Produce 1t

Our diaries in seven states are located in lAmefi-
cas- best dairyng sections. They are supplied
with high-bred Holstein cows. sss---ss--s-.-
Close to each dairy we have built an evaporating
plant and we conduct it with hospital cleanliness
The milk fresh from the cows is put into
copper vacuum. On account of the vacuum,
moderate heat evaporates the water without
scorching the milk. Two-thirds of the water is
thus taken out-simply to reduce the bulk.
When you put back that water the milk is the
same as it came from the cow save for steriliza-
ton.

order. Straight climbs into the am
bient; bird-like swoops. circles, quick
turns and almost perpendicular pluuges
earthward were a few of the thrillers
that never failed to evoke the deafen-
ing cheers of the morbidly curious who
focked to the meets. These dare devils
of the profession were raised to pinnacles
and idealized and worshiped with all the
ardor that hero worshipers could lavish
upon them.
Time and again these performers were
warned and told that sooner or later mis-.
fortune must overtake them IL they per-
sisted in their reckless pursuits. But
the love Of adulation and the lure of
gold was in their blood, and they needed
not the warning of the older and saner
opponents of the sport. Truly, it might
be said that in striking a balance sheet
for the year just closed one side of the
ledger would be bordered with gold,
while the other is piped In black.
The spirit of commercialism soon per-
vaded aviation and as a result those who
took it up amassed comfortable fortunes
in little or no time. tombstone left a
handsome estate, and made it all within
a few months in purses, prizes and fees
won at aviation meets throughout the
country. Moisant died rich, although less
than a year or so ago he was an impe-
cunious soldier of fortune who had just
returned from South America, where he
took part In one or two of the revolu-
tions that every once in awhile attracted
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1911-02-05

the attention Of the world at large to
Latin-America. The fees and prizes won
by Hoxsey, the Beau Brummel of avia-
ton, were enormous, and he frequently
earned more by an hours climb Into the
clouds than the average fairly successful
business man makes by a years hard
work. Grace was well off In his own
right, but he, too, won golden prizes that
greatly augmented his private fortune.
The following table, chronologically ar
ranged, will give the reader some idea of
the part death has played In aviation for
the year 1910:
January Aeon Delagrange, one of
the most famous of French aviators,
killed in .leriot monoplane near Bor-
deaux, France. Delagrange was making
a turn at a high speed when wing OF
the monoplane broke.
April Hubert LIE Blon. another we'll
known French aviator, killed near Sc
has tian, Spain, while driving a high-pow
cred Bleriot monoplane, which, for some
unknown cause, turned turtle.
May 13.-Hauvette Michelin, another
Frenchman, killed when about to ascend
at Lyons, France, in an Antoinette mono
plane. The machine was running along
the ground before rising when it struck
q pylon.
June 2.-Aindan de Zoselley, Hun
garian killed by fall from machine of
his own construction. &c. s-
June 17.-Eugene Speyer, killed by a
fall at San Francisco.

Springfield, Mass, has probably the most
complete equipment of this kind, there
being II pieces of apparatus of various
types.
For city departments that use machines
for Inspections the regular touring car is
used, but 1t Is a business vehicle just the
same for the private use Of them is gen
orally forbidden.
But while the touring car has been
pressed into some phases OF business
there is distinct business car that Is
just as different from the touring car as
the four-horse truck Is different from
the family carriage. These motor ve-
hicles are technically known as trucks"
and they vary from the light delivery
wagon to the great five-ton machines
that will transport thousands of pounds
of anything that can be loaded upon
them.
The popularity of power vehicles Is
spreading fast all over the country. Even
the hills and badly paved streets Of s-,all
towns and cities have been conquered
by machines that will almost climb up
the side of a wall In cities that are
fairly level and well paved the machines
have been installed by the hundreds. In
New York there are not fewer than 1900
motor trucks, delivery wagons and other
forms of industrial vehicles. In Chicago,
in three years, the number has increa sed
from As to 900, according to good infor-
nation.
For heavy hauling the motor truck is
particularly well adapted, especially
where draught rather than speed is a
requisite and 1t has been proven that a
truck laden with two tons will go farther
and more quickly. and at "a less cost
than it would be possible to transport
Il by horses.

its way into popular appreciation SO Is

sort. tombstone was killed shortly after

True, these were soon supplanted by
Arch Hoxsey, his hangar mate, but the
latter did not achieve them until after
Johhstone's death. Moisant was killed at
New Orleans many months after having
established an across the English Chan
mel flight with a passenger record.
Several weeks after soaring to an alei-
tude never achieved by man before, Hox
sey came to his untlmey end and. IN
cidentally, on the same day Moisant was
killed and only an hour or so after dis
patching message of coincidence to the
sisters of Moisant.
The close of Cecil Grace's career fur
nishes one of the saddest chapters in
aviation An American born and n
nephew of the late Mayor Grace, of New
York City, young Grace had spent the
greater part of his life in England. He
took up aviation within the past year
and soon came to be known as one of the
most daring and successful Of those who
scared through the air. In attempting
flight from English to French shores over
the English Channel he successfully ne
gotiated the first leg of the journey and
was well started on the return trip when
he ran Into n fog bank. He lost his
bearings and was soon enveloped in the
fog. That was the last seen Of him.
Several days later his cap and goggles
he wore were picked up by ship IN
the North Sea. Ten days later the
wreckage of his air craft washed up on
the Belgian shore. So far the body OF
the young aviator has not been recovered.
The long succession of tragedies on
aviation fields has had a marked effect
upon those interested in this, the most
thrilling of all sports. Heretofore the

thousands who paid admissions to the
parks, We'd with each other in doing

keenest interest.
The event was held on two bleak days,
the wind blowing half gale and the
roads were in wretched condition. The

consumption of CT gallons of gasoline at
IL cents gallon and q gallon of oil at
80 cents a gallon, making the ton mile

run on an average Of IL miles an hour
on 1914 gallons of gasoline at 10 cents
per gallon and pints of oil at 80 cents

Another notable performance for

While these endurance contests are In

many employers of them who have found
that they will easily do the work Of two

This is true especially In light delivery
where the machines can make high speed
ard maintain it for hours at a time.

in towns can participate IN these bene-
