Corporation Commission Con
ducts Series of Experiments
on Railroads.
BLACK SQUIRREL CLAIMED
Recognizes Its Owner?Army
Officers for Instruction
Camps.
For the purpose of proving to its
own satisfaction '.he difference, if any.
of loss in handling crated and un
crated stoves by freight, the State
Corporation Commission has been con
luctlng n series of experiments cover
'ng a period of three months. The
abject is to reacli a determination of
the case now Pentling before the com?
mission.
On petition of the Southern Railway
a hearing was had on.a propo.-ition
to require all stoves shipped in less
than carload lots to be crated. The |
claim of the railway was that articles'
shipped uncrated were liable to ?
breakage In a errat degree, and that !
it would be better for the shipper and)
the consignee, as well as saving the ?
railroads Crom unnecessary loss, to
require protection on all shipments.
At the hearing an agent of the
Southern produced a box which con?
tained a badly broken stove. it was
carried Into the courtroom, and its
multifarious parts were exhibited
vntil Judgj Frentis humorously an?
nounced that the commission would
concede that the stove had been
broken.
Desiring further Information, the
commission directed a record to be
kept for three months of all ship?
ments of stoves, crated and uncrated, i
covering the length of the haul, the |
damage and the cost. This. It is pre
SUmed, will largely Infiuenre the deel- j
slon. which is expected to be rendered
shortly.
BLACK SQUIRREL CLAIMED
Natural Curiosity Recognise* Mm Owner
on Sight.
It did not require a Solomon to de?
cide the ownership of the black squir?
rel which was found in a rlow factory
Saturday and presented to Colonel
John vv. Richardson, Superintendent
of the Capitol Square. The squirrel
himself furnished the proof of the
identity of his master.
A resident of Kast Clay Street called
on Colonel Richardson yesterday morn?
ing, having read the story of the black
squirrel In The Times-Dispatch of
Sunday. He said the animal was his,
nnd he was led to the cage, where the
little fellow was conllned
The squirrel has a temper of its
own. nnd manifested rage when ap?
proached by any of the Capitol em?
ployes. But when this newcomer ap?
peared he showed every symptom of
delight He crowded to the. edge of
the cage nearest the man. giving vent
to a sort of low chuckle. When the
door was opened he cllmhed on tlio
man's arm' affectionately circled Ills
head and ni ck. and ensconced himself
in one of the coat pockets, whence ho
gar.cu as If at home.
"He's yours; take him," said Colonel
Richardson.
The man explained that he had re?
cently brought the squirrel to l.lch
mbnd from North Carolina, on moving
here. The animal was caught In the
woods, and was presented to him.
It is evidently a hybrid. He frequently
uas absented himself from home
for a few hours at a time, but on
the last occasion he evidently got so
far away that he could not find his
Way back. The owner seid he would
later release him in the Capitol Square
to see If he will fraternize with his
gray cousins.

WEATHER IS SEVERE
ON CROP CONDITIONS
Report Reflects Serious Effects of Drought, Indi?
cated Yield Being Below That of Last Year
and Below Recent Average Yilds.
Washington, .inly in.?"Mot, dry .
weather, drought have played some?
thing akin to havor. with the crop con?
ditions during the lust month," de?
clared Professor N. t". Murray, acting
chief of the crop reporttng bom-1 of
the Department of Agriculture, p'-day,
after the announcement of the July
report on grain and produce.
"The report," said Professor Murray,
"reflects the rather serious effects of
the drought during June, most of the
important crops showing a condit'ott
ut present which indicates a yield be?
low that of last year and below recent
average yield of production.
"Feed-stuff???ats and hay?seems to
have been hardest hit. Less than two
thirds of a normal crop of hay is ex?
pected and the oats crop probably will j
be more than "5 per cent, loss than
last year's crop, and about 12 per
cent, less than the average for the
last live years. i
"The corn acreage Is the largest
ever recorded, but the condition of the
crop Is about " per cent, below t :ie
average. That Indicates a production
of approximately r> per cent, less than
last jear's record crop, but nearly
per cent, more than the average pro?
duction during the last five yean The
condition of the corn crop on Inly l.
however, was critical
"The potato crop promises tr> be
USttnlly short. The acreage has fallen
off. probably on account of unsatis
fartor; prices during the las', year,
and the condition of the cron now is I
lower than at any time on July 1 In I
the last twenty-two years Almost a I
sensational advance in the price of j
potatoes has been made durinv the 1
last month. The average prl-e '
throughout the United States on June
1 vas f3.8 cents a bushel. On July 1
is was !'f..3 cents a bushel. Ordtnu-.-'ly
tht variation In that time Is only a
few cents a bushel.
"Owing to the difficulty in the set
I ting out of tobacco plants, the acre
i age of tobacco has been reduced 2S
per cent, from that of l^st year. The
low condition of the crop, together
j with the shortacre of acreage, have
combined to reduce the Indications to
a total production of 63.3 per cent, of
last year's crop, or 77.3 per cent, of
the average for the last five years.
"Notwithstanding the drought, tho
wheat crop, both spring and winter,
will be well up to the average in total
production It is scarcely likely that
the amount of wheat In bushels will
vary a great deal from the average
of the last live years.
"On general crop conditions, the sec?
tion of the country which appears to
have been hit the hardest by the hot
weather and the drought is the tier,

DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE
Health Department Tells or Effect of
Prosperity on Home.
: In Issuing its latest bulletin. "Sew
I age Disposal Plants for Private
; Homes," the state Health Department
ha? made the occasion one for a little
homily on life in general. It Is as
follows:
"The prosperity of a people Is always
mirrored In their domestic life. Glvon
a discouraged community, low pries.
Hull markets or bad seasons, and the
home Inevitably suffers. Luxuries are
eliminated; the average comforts of
life nre reduced; even the simplest
conveniences are neglected. On 'lie other
hand, given a prosperous community,
high prices, brisk markets or good
seasons, and the home Invariably ben?
efits. Luxuries are introduced, home
comfort Is greatly increased, conven?
iences of every sort are in demand.
"The grout prosperity and marked
progress of this Commonwealth dur?
ing the last few years has proved this
general principle. In no similar
period has there been such a notable
Increase In domestic comfort: at no
time has there been such a demand
for the conveniences of the age. Fore- !
most, perhaps, among the demands of!
our rural population has been that to i
secure running water In the house, i
Bath rooms are being built: water tow-]
ers nre rising above thousands of ]
wells on Virginia farm's; our people
are awakening to the fart that sanl- !
I tarj water supplies and sewage ills-|
I posal add to the health as well as to
the comfort of the home."

indicated as presented In the coun
ttv. condemning the use of the cess?
pool as in use in many sections.

DOUBLE CAPACITY
AT SANATORIUM
State Health Board to Consider
Proposition To-Day?Members
Go to Catawba.
Action upon a report of its tubercu?
losis committee, which will recommend
doubling the capacity of the Catawba j
Sanatorium, will be the most important 1
business .before the State Board of I
Health when, it holds 11 bus- i
Ines? session at the sanatorium to- '

ous in Its handling of the matter, and
urgent In Its Insistence that the State
board ask the next Legislature for

terprise for the protection of the pub?
lic health.
? It is a shame." said Dr. W. M. '
Smith, of Alexandria, chairman of the
committee, to a Times-Dispatch repre?
sentative yesterday "that a public in?
stitution for the treatment of a dis?
ease which is curable in its early
staccs should have a waiting list,
when delay means death. It should
have a capacity of more than the de?
mand, and that all who seek relief at
the hands of the Commonwealth may
have a chance for life, and may go '
out and preach the doctrine of preven?
tion at their homes."
Elect County Boards.
One of the duties of the hoard at
this meeting will be the election of i

Ice Cream Without Germs
The Only Way to Get Jt
When you make ice cream from milkman's cream there are millions
of germs in a spoonful. There are none when you use Van Camp's.
Van Camp s Milk as it comes
to you ?as thick as thick
cream ?is utterly free from
germs.
Dilute it with water which
has been boiled, add sugar and flavor, and freeze.
Then you have an ice cream of exceeding rich?
ness, absolutely pure.
So in every sort of a milk dish?so in coffee
and cereals?so in milk to drink. Van Camp's
Milk means the maximum richness and utter
sterility. Milkman's milk means neither, as
you know.
Nothing Artificial
Van Camp's is simply rich milk as it comes
from the cow, with two-thirds the water evapo?
rated. Nothing is added, as to condensed milk.
No sugar, no starch, no preservative. Nothing
is subtracted save water.
Our evaporating plants are built after Swiss
models. There are seven, in seven states, e~ch
built close to our dairies. They are conducted
with hospital cleanliness.
The fresh milk is
put into a vacuum.
Because of the vac?
uum, a moderate heat
evaporates the water
without scalding the
mill:. Thus the milk
Fruit Milk Sherbet
Take the juice from two
oranges and three lemons.
Add to it two-thirds cup o(

three pints water and turn
into the freezer. Pour In

with hall can crated pine?
apple. Freeze.

recipes. Including all sorts

is reduced to the thickness of thick cream. Then
it is pasteurized after the can is sealed.
Its Amazing Richness
Milk dishes, hot or cold, when made with Van
Camp's, have amazing richness and flavor. Some
people think we add something to give it. But
we don't.
Van Camp's Milk as it comes to you is 28 per
cent solids, 8 per cent butter fat. It is rich be?
cause it is whole, rich milk.
Milkman's milk separates. The butter fat
rises and the solids fall. When it gets to the
cooking it is rarely more than a half-milk. Van
Camp's is the whole milk?all of the butter fat,
all of the solids. That is the only reason why
milk dishes made of it arc so surprisingly good.
Saves One-Half
Half the cost of milkman's milk is the cost of
the daily delivery. We save all that. And, by
removing two-thirds of the water, we save in
shipping bulk. As a result, Van Camp's Milk
costs less than milkman's milk. The cost will
figure about six cents per quart wbcu reduced
to the usual milk's richness.
Then there is no waste ?no milk left over.
When you open a can it keeps till you use it up.
By saving in cost and saving the waste, the
use of Van Camp's cuts milk bills about in two.
Think of that. Whole milk instead of a half
milk. Pure milk instead of germ-laden. And a
saving of half besides.
But that isn't all. Think what it means to
have milk and cream always on hand?a month's
supply, if you wish it. No waiting for the milk?
man, no shortage, no waste.
Be Sure of Van Camp's
Van Camp's Milk comes from pure-bred Hol?
stein cows, kept in model dairies, constantly
inspected. It is evaporated in modern aseptic
plants.
It is reduced to the minimum?to the thickness
of thick cream. It is 28 per cent solids, 8 per
cent buttct fat.
It is the final result of seven years of perfect?
ing, in which we employed the ablest Swiss and
Dutch experts. It has cost us $100,000 to bring
Van Camp's Milk up to its present standard. It
is so generally preferred that we now milk 30,000
cows per day to keep up with demands. /
Yet this premier milk costs no more than com*
mon evaporated milks. The 16-oz. can?a full
pint of Van Camp's?costs 10 cents. The 6-oz.
can costs 5 cents.
Use this milk once and
you will always insist on
it. You may as well have
the best. Order from your
grocer. Do it now.
