Swiss and Dutch experts have perfected for us the finest milk ever
produced in America. It is like the milks of Switzerland and Holland.
This milk of ours comes
from Holstein cows, fed
in America's best dairy
districts.
The milk fresh from the
cow is put into a vacuum.
Then at a low heat, v/e evaporate two
thirds of the water. Nothing whatever is
added?no sugar, no preservative. Nothing
but water is taken out.
The milk is sterilized without scorching.
It comes to you an absolutely germless milk.
It is as thick as thick cream?28 per cent
solids, 8 per cent butter fat.
In the past seven years we have spent
$100,000 in learning through experts how to
produce such milk. '
Six Cents Per Quart
If this milk is reduced to the usual milk's
richness the cost will figure about six cents
per quart Yet it is evaporated, sterilized
and sealed up In tins.
Our process coBts less than it costs the
milkman to make his daily deliveries. That it
where the saving comes.
Yet you get in Van Camp's rich Holstein
milk, not milk from mongrel cows.. You
get a sterile milk in place of milk that is
germ-laden. *?
You get the whole milk as it comes from
the cow-rail of the butter fat, all of the
solids. It is not carted around?not left to
stand and separate.
Von Camp Packing Co.
Indianapolis, Ir,d.
And you can buy, if you wish, a month's
supply at a time. It is like having a cow
in the pantry.
Thick as Cream
Van Camp's 'Milk
comes to you as thick
as thick cream. So
thick that you add one
part water for coffee.
Milk dishes made with
it taste very much as
though they were made with cream.
Milkman's milk separates before it gets to
you. It separates after you get it. Perhaps
you skim it, too. When it comes to the
cooking it is rarely more than a half-milk.
When you use this whole milk?this rich,
Holstein milk?you'll be amazed at the fla?
vor it gives to a milk dish. But remember
that milk, with all its richness, is cheaper
than common milk.
When you once taste a milt dish made
with Van Camp's you'll never want a dish
made without it.
Free From Germs
Van Camp's MilB
Is utterly sterile. It
Is made so by pas?
teurization.
Raw milk, as you
know, contains mil?
lions of germs. Of
9
ten they are dangerous germs. Think how
pleasant it is to drink a milk that has none
at all.
This milk solves the whole milk problem.
It supplies you a milk sealed up at the dairy
?fresher than milkman's milk. It brings
you the milk of the best dairying districts
in a perfectly sterile state.
You can have a month's supply on hand,
if you wish. Open a can when you need it.
There's no shortage, no waste.
We Milk 30,000 Cows
We are milking daily 30,000 cows to sup?
ply the people who know this milk. Tens
of millions of cans are used annually.
It is not like condensed milk, which is
half,sugar. It is not like the ordinary evap?
orated milk. Our Dutch and Swiss experts
have created for us the finest milk in Amer?
ica. You ought to enjoy it.
One can will make you a convert,
The 16-or. can?a full
pint of Van Camp's?
costs 10 cents. The 6
oz. can costs 5 cents.
Evaporated and sealed
at our dairies in six
states. Order from
your grocer,
? Sterilized?Unsweetened

Russia Ready to Act If Satis?
factory Assurances Are
Not Given.
St. Petersburg. May 24.?A solemn
declaration of pacific intentions and
willingness to abstain from menacing I
Montenegrin territory will be regarded
as tho sole satisfactory answer by Tur-1
key to the Russian note which was sent
yesterday to the Turkish government.
Tho Imperative character of tho note,
which warned Turkey that tljo concen?
tration of Turkish troops along the
Montenegrin'? frontier since the Alba?
nian outbreak constituted a serious
menace to poaco, was dictated by the
seriousndss of the situation.
In spite of criticisms by the. German
prc3S, which have been telegraphed
here, the Russian Foreign Ofllce con?
siders the sunoort of tho majority of
the powers and the active co-oporatlon
of Great Britain, Franco and Italy as?
sured.
The measures against Turkey In case
that government proves recalcitrant
may include the employment of naval
forcos. which were efTlcaclous,' In the
day of Abdul Hamid. Russia has long
watched the scone of tho Albanian up?
rising with anxiety, and recent reports
loft no doubt as to tho aggressive na?
ture of the military movement on tho
Montenegrin frontier.
Turkey explained tho massing of
troops no strategic ncccs&ltloa, claim?
ing Hint tho Albanian strongholds of
GuBlnJo, Plava and Boranl oould bet
? ~
threatened only from the Montenegrin
side. But the Turkish assertions have
been received with small credence bv
the diplomatic body in Constantinople,
because Turkey has persistently re?
fused to allow foreign observers to join

Washington, May 24.?The executive

pany refuse to accede to their demands
for a 20 per cent. Increase In wages.
The. committee will confer again

The committee was In executive ses?
sion practically all night. No confer?
ences were held to-day between the

mittee. A few days ago is was said by
the railway officials that the road could
not grant the increase. The committee
claims that with the Increase they de?
mand the firemen would not be paid
wages as high as those paid firemen on
other firsl-clnss railroads.

He risked nearly the whole funds of

"Walsh had acquired great power In

His guilt Is In proportion to tho trust
and confidence extended to him. Of

Of most speculative character, nnd he

release before the time when his case
may be brought before the parole au?
thorities.
"The opportunity to commit such
crimes is only afforded to men whu
have enjoyed high position in society
und have secured the trust and friend?
ship of many. Every case of this kind,
therefore, must present some such con?
siderations as those referred to, nnd
if the executive on an uppeal for
clemency should yield to them it would
defeat the object of the law and pro
sent a demoralizing effect between
the punishment meted out to the ordi?
nary criminal, whoso circumstances
have naturally led him into crime, und
one whose position In society should
have, niudo for him the strongest re?
straint against violation of the law."
In the Morse case Mr. Taft said In
part:
"Charles W. Morse was convicted of
misapplication of funds of the Na?
tional Bank of North America and of
malting false entries in tho books of
tho bank and. in its reports to the
Comptroller of tho Currency. On ap?
peal to tho Circuit Court of Appeals
his conviction on the false entry charge
was affirmed. Ho had boon confined In
the Tombs for ton months before ho
was taken to Atlanta.
No Unubl of Evidence.
"Although his conviction technically
was on false entries, there Is no doubt
as to what tho evldenco showed gen?
erally, to-wlt: that Morse was engaged
In large private transactions in which
tho maintenance of the price of cer?
tain stock In the market was of capital
Importance to him, nnd he procured
control of this particular bank and |
other banks for the purpose of doing!
tho specific thing mentioned, which |
was essential to tho success of his
speculations. Tho result of his oper?
ations were sovoro losses to tho bank,
which forced It Into liquidation.
"Morse exhibited the same fraudulent
and criminal disregard of the trust
imposed upon him in the exercise of j
the control over tho bank as Walsh
did. j
i "Ono of the chief argumonts made In
j Morse's behalf Is that 'slnco thu com
1 mission of his offonaea ho has, out]
of his own estate, made good the
losses Inflicted upon the bank. The
evidence doeB not sustain the claim
that all the losses to the bank have
been made good by him, but even if
his estate had met the obligations out
of his fraudulent transactions It could
not change the necessity for his law?
ful punishment for the crime he com?
mitted.
"Walsh received a sentenco of fivo
years?Morse fifteen years. I have no
doubt, from a consideration of the
facts In each case, that Morse should
have received a heavier sentence than
Walsh. Whether fifteen years Is too
great a sentence I do not now propose
to decide. It will depend somewhat
upon Morse's future conduct In prison.
This application, therefore, Is now de?
nied as premature, but may bo re?
newed at some subsequent date."
"The number of prominent and Influ?
ential members of society who have
asked for clemency In Morse's case Is
quite as great aB In that of Walsh. In
my denial of the application in each
of these cases I have no desire to mini?
mize the weight of the opinion and
prayer in favor of clemency of the peti?
tioners, but for the same reason that I
have given above for differing from
them in Walsh's case, I must differ with
them In Morse's case. The application
for clemency in the case of Charles W.
Morse Is hereby denied, with leave to
renew the same after January^ 1. 1913.
"In reaching these conclusions I fol?
low the recommendation of the Attor
ney-Oeneral."
