Here is one of the cows which
supplies milk to your neighbors-
the people who use Van Camps.
This COW won the Van Camp
cup, which we offered to encourage
the breeding of high-grade cows.
Milk from such cows, fed IN
Americas best dairying sections,
will cost you less than any milk
you get from mongrel cows.
And i comes to you pasteur-

The family with voting children
now and then is rare, and so it is i'm
portant that the head of the house
should know what to do in the little
emergencies that arise. A child with
serious ailment needs a doctor, it is
true, but in the majority of instances,
as any doctor knows. the child suffers
from some intestinal trouble, usually
constipation.
There is no sense in giving it pill
or a remedy containing an opiate, nor
is flushing of the bowels to be always
recommended. Rather give it a small
dose of a mild, gentle laxative tonic
like Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin,
which, by cleaning out the bowels and

Combinations of trimming viii suggest
themselves to different minds and the

The third and last collar is a simple

WASHINGTON. July 24.-The ex-
cellent performance Of the battleship
Delaware on her cruise to and from
England and since her return to
American waters has been made the
subject OF a special report issued
from the Navy Department which
strongly indicates a determination on
the part Of the officials to equip fu-
ture battleships of like size and speed
with reciprocating engines instead Of
turbines
The remarkable feature Of the cruise
was the exhibition Of coal endurance
far beyond anything known in our
own or any other navy The Della
ware made the round trip 10 England
without taking on any stores or coal,
yet when she arrived in this coun-
try she had sufficient fuel aboard TO
steam 1900 miles further.
This followed a similarly eXtraordi-
nary performance last spring, when
after returning from a cruise of H.
/ 500 miles. the Delaware. with only a
few hours notice. made a full power
ed trial run of "a hours at a speed OF
more than 21 knots per hour.

not one woman wears a sailor hat to-

Colored Innings are again to be
used for suits, sleeves will be long
and will closely follow the contour
OF the arm.
Sleeves just now are half and three
quarter length, but there is a rumor
ahoat that they are to again be long
and close.
number Of pretty skirts have the
slash at the side or side front which
gives opportunity for display of fetch
ing footgear.
Odd satin and taffeta coats Ia
habit shape we're in great favor at the
recent great race meetings of the
French capital.
Lace gowns, lace coats. lace tunics.
lace overwaists, lace scarfs and man-
tels-lace abundant makes a promin-
ent part I'm the summer wardrobe.
For bridesmaids, lace caps are in
vogue They drop over the hair in
soft pIeated frills and are trimmed
with rows Of silk Of mousseline
flowers.
Little coats or jackets OF change
able taffetas are worn with voile or
null frocks. They show the high
line and the pleated frill at the lower
edge.
Many Of the new parasols are in
bordered effects-pongee silks with
bands OF Persian or Dresden satins
or perhaps border Of plain colored
taffeta.
Foulards are combined with plain
silks very extensively. Rarely do we
see a silk dress Of entirely one kind
OF material. II is indeed a season Of
