Loss No. 3-Richness

Milkman's milk separates quickly. The butter
fat rises and the solids fall. Milk dipped from
can is never whole-rnilk. When that milk gets to
the cooking it IS rarely more than half-rlilk.
Van Camps is the whole-milk. The milk fresh
from the COW is put into copper vacuum. There,
in moderate heat, we evaporate two-thrds Of the
water.
The milk as it comes to you is as thick as thick
cream 1t is rs per cent solids, 8 per cent butter
fat 1t is SO rich that folks always dilute it, even
for coffee and cereals.
In cooking, this milk gives to milk dishes an
amazing richness and flavor Not because of any
addition, for we add nothing at all. This is simply
the whole, rich milk. But whole. rich milk will
surprise you-you who are used to milk wagon
milk. single milk dish made with Van Camps
will forever convert you to the use of this milk.
Until then, your neighbors serving milk dishes
twice as good as yours-all because of whoIe-milk.

BANKING REFORM
OVER THE SOUTH
PRESIDENT WATTS ASKS 1T BE
KEPT OUT OF POLITICS.
is WORST SYSTEM.


Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2.-F. o.
Watts Of Nashville, President of the
American Bankers association, has
written personal appeal to all bank
ers in the South, from Maryland to
Texas, asking them to exert their in
fiuence 10 arouse their business
friends and their representatives in
congress to the Importance Of keeping
banking and currency Legislation out
Of politics.
Mr.. Watts has sent with his letter
extracts from President Tafts recent
speeches on the need of immediate
currency reform to prevent another
disastrous panic like that of four
years ago this month. He also en-
closes a speech made by John V. Far
well, the Chicago merchant, president
of the National Citizens League, for
the Promotion of Sound Banking
System, in which Mr.. Farwell says
that we have "the worst banking sys-
tenn in the world"
New Orleans will be the scene of
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Bankers association in Novem-
Der. The bankers believe this will be
the most important convention ever
held by the association Only one
subject will be discussed-banking
and currency reform. Fifteen lead
ing bankers, representing all sections
of the country, will make addresses
on the subject.
A Southern banker will discuss the
cotton country's need of a better
banking system. The South is now
paying millions of tribute yearly to
foreign money centers, because the
American banks have no means of fl
nancing the huge export trade in cot
ton. One Southern cotton expert fig
ures that the South pays 100000, 900
a year to foreigners to finance its
great crop.

Less No. 5Money

The strangest fact is that this premier milk
from high-bred cows, from model dairies-sterile,
rich and pure-costs less than nilkrnan's milk.
That costs more than the milk. BY evaporating
the water we transportation. And we save
you all the waste. In the average home the use
OF Van Camps cuts milk bills right in two.
Because of these facts, we are now milking
10000 cows daily to supply the armies Of people
who are using Van Camps.

Getting milk from the rilkman is simply habit,
and millions of homes have outgrown it, There
are hundreds of homes right around you who use
nothing but Van Camps.
Let US showwhas they GAIN and how much you
lose. This is very important question.

Your milky ans milk isn't sterile. There are
millions of ,rns in each drop. Sickness among
children, in very large part, is caused by these
germs in milk.
You know that. And you know the tendency

protection.
Van Camps Milk is pasteurized. 1t is utterly
sterile. There is not single germ in gallon.
