herds of cattle and the more mobile flocks of sheep An air of tranquillity lies low over the entire if he looks long into this peaceful bowl of plenty From distant passes in the moun- tains to the east and north come the dull intonations of dynamite blasts proving the presence of that disturbing element of progress which i the ratroed through the unbroken heart of the land It is a good three hours ride to the summit of Monastery mountain And after the height has been attained one does not to linger long among the chilly whistling with their snow crevasses and bitter winds the utter loneliness the aloofness of this frost crowned crest appalls disheartens one who loves the fair green things of life In the shelter of the crags at the base of the monastery wells looking out over the one has his luncheon and his snack of spirits quito undisturbed monks pay no heed to him They we not hospitable neith- er are they unfriendly One seldom tee them Truon King and Mr Hobbs were not tang te disposing of their lunch It too for comfort in their drafty lining room and they were not invited to enter the inhospitable gates In half alt hour they were wending their way down the north side of the peak gradually declining roads headed for the borne of the witch in Ganlook GAP some six miles from Edelweiss aa the crow flies hut twice that distance aver the tortuous bridle patha and pest rondo It was 3 oclock when they clattered down the stone road and up to the for- bidding vale in wirich lurked like an evil guilty the logbuilt home of that ancient female who made no secret of her practices in witchcraft The hut stood back from the mountain road a hundred yar4s or niece at the heed of a smair thick etgrown recess A low thatched roof protruded from the hill against which tho hut was built As a matter o fact a thla hlm ney grew out of th earth itsell for all the world like a smoking tree stump The hovel was a squalid beggary thing that might have been built over night somewhere back in the dark ages Its single door was so low that ono was obliged tb stoop to miter the little room where the dame had been holding forth for threescore years twas said This was her throne room her dining room her bed chamber her all it would seem unless one had been there before and knew that her kitchen WAS beyond n the side the hill The one window sans glass looked narrowly out upon an odd opening in the foliage below giving the occupant of the hut an un obstructed view of the winding road that led up from E3 lwei s TIle doer faced the Monastery read down wWan the two men had ridden As r the yard it as no more thnir v pebbly avalanche wept opening among the trees and rocks which in tho glacial age perhaps a thousand torrents had leaped but which wee now so dry and

gentle- men all in riding garments and all more or less ill at ea f Truxton KIngs heart swelled sud- denly all the world grew bright again for him Next to the tall figure of Col onel Quinnox of tbe Royal Guard was the slim entrancing lady of his most recent princes aunt The lady of the grotto The lady of the The Marian tall and ex- quisite was a little apart from tilt others with Baron Dangloss and young Count yes Engo whom Trux ton was ready to hate because he was a recognized suitor for the hand of the slim younir person in gray He thought he had liked her beyond in crease In the rajeh silk but now he confessed to him that he was mis taken He liked her better in a gray riding habit It struck him sharply as ho sat there in the saddle that slid would be absolutely and adorably fault- less in point lace or jr lowneok or high He was for riding boldly up to little group but a very objectionable lieutenant barred the way supported in no small measure by the defection of Mr Hobbs who an nounced in a hoarse agitated whisper that hed be anaed if hed let any man make a fool of him twice over The way was made easy by the in of the alert young woman in gray She caught sight of the re- stricted adventurers 01 one of thorn to be quite accurate and after speed ing a swift smile of astonishment turned quickly to Prince Bobby- A moment later the tall with the sunbrowned face was the center of Interest to the small group at the door He bowed amiably to the smiling young person n gray and was adventuring what he conamered be a proper salute prince he observed that a few words passed between the lads aunt and John Talus who wa now surveying him with some interest prince brQke the lee he cried shrilly his little face aglow Hello responded the gentleman readily John Tuilis found himself being dragged away from the witchs door the newcomer at the bottom glen Mr Hobbs listened with deepening awe to the friendly which resulted in Truxton King going forward to join the party In front of the hut He came along in the rear after having1 tethered the tired horses not quite sure that he was awake The prince had cased him Mr Cook had asked bbs how his sons were all oC which was highly gratifying when oin pauses to con- sider that he lead get has cap band on down in his excitement He always was to wonder how the Itttle monarch succeeded in reading the title without standing on hIs heal to do so Truxton WJMI duly presented to the ladles and gentlemen of the party by John Tunis who gracefully announced that h knew parents in New York Baron Dangles waa quite an old

certain manifestations in necromancy Truxton King scarcely able to be lieve his fortune crowded into the loathsome squnlW room with his aristocratic managing with considerable to his charming friend They stood back table where the hag ocupied herself with a crystal Never had Truxton looked upon a creature who so thoroughly vindicated the h had put in the description of witches given by the farytale tellers of his earliest youth She had the traditional hook nose and peaked cbin the eyes the thousand wrinkles and toothless gurus He looked about for the raven and the cat but if she had them they were not in evidenc At a rough guess he calculated her age at years A youth of extreme laziness whY Baron Dangloss said was the old womans grandson appeared to be her manof Jillworrf He fetched the old womans crystal placed st ola for the visitors lighted the candle on the table occupy ing no los stlian a quarter of an in performing these arts so awk- ward that at least two of his

Holsteins Six Cents Per QuartT- hat is what Van Camps Milk actually means A rich sterile milk the best milk and cream for every purpose always on hand when wanted n 4g Tiheflc fe can you get of Van milk will open a new era in your household econ omy No more buying from hand to mouth no more shortage no more waste No more germladen milk for your table No more halfmilk skimmed or settled to be used in cooking No more milk from mongrel cows nothing but genuine Holstein That is why you wont go bank to the milkman when we once win you away No Tubercular Cows The chief danger in raw milk He in tuber- cular germ Millions of infected cows milked every day are spreading consumption at a terrible rate That is why every authority advises steril- ized milk Van Camps milk is sterilized but that isnt alL Our are inspected so we know none is infected Our dairies are sanitary in the extreme Our evaporating plants are built without wood We employ every modem precaution The result is a milk which is utterly sterile A milk that is safe without a germ of any kind in it Rich Holstein Milk We buy none but Holstein cows the worlds finest breed famed for thoir splen- did vitality The milk from such cows is immeasurably better for children than the milk of mongrel cows Camps cows ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ This milk fresh from the cows is placed- in a vacuum And a moderate heat because of the vacuum throws off the water in steam Thus we take out twothirds of the water and the milk that results is as thick as thick cream It contains 28 cent total solids and 8 per cent butter fat We use no no starch no preserva tive Van Camps is simply rich milk for convenience in shipping Six Cents Per Quart The cost of Van Camps when you re place the water which we evaporate is about air cents per quart The IDcent can contains a full pint of milk reduced to the minimum And grocers give discounts on cases So Van Camps is cheaper than raw milk because your milkmans daily delivery costs more than the milk itself And you have no waste when you use Van Camps You never have milk left over You open a can when you want it and it keeps till you use it up A Cow in the KitchenV- an Camps ricans a cow in the kitchen Rich milk or cream for every purpose all you want and all the time Add one part water for coffee or cereals It is then like the richest cream For cook ing or drinking reduce as you like Van Camps to milk dishes twice the richness and flavor that get from raw milk For this is whole milk with all the butter fat all the solids in it In milkmans milk the butter fat rises and the solids fall You dont get the whole milk pee Holstein ¬ ¬ ¬ from any part of the can Then you let it stand it separates more So the milk used for cooking rarely more than a halfmilk Youll be amazed at the flavor which Van Camps gives to mite dishes Not the slight almond flavor due to sterilization apparent when Van Camps is drunk cold You get that same flavor from milkmans milk when you heat it The delicious flavor that Van Camps gives to milk dishes is due to the richness the wholeness of the milk Dont be Misled If you want Holstein milk reduced to the minimum you will always insist on Van Camps Others may claim that common milk only partly reduced is just as good as Van Camps But it isnt And dont think that condensed Txlk which is nearly half sugar is anythin like Van Camps Van Camps contains no sugar no addition whatever Sugar was used to milk before the days of sterilization It is entirely unneces- sary now If you want sugar you can buy it for half what it costs in a can of milk And condensed milk because of the sugar is unfit for cooking You cant use it as can Van Camps So please let no one mis- lead 16oz can of Van Camps sells for 10 cents the 6oz can for So you get for your money in buying the larger cans Grocers give discounts on cases The milk ia produced at our dairies located STERILIZED and Scents onethird more six states you- Th ¬ ¬ Van Camp Packing Co Indianapolis Ind

From distant passes in the moun-tains to the east and north come thedull intonations of dynamite blastsproving the presence of that disturbingelement of progress which i theratroed through the unbroken heart ofthe land

It is a good three hours ride to thesummit of Monastery mountain Andafter the height has been attained onedoes not to linger long among thechilly whistling with their snowcrevasses and bitter winds the utterloneliness the aloofness of this frostcrowned crest appalls disheartens onewho loves the fair green things oflife In the shelter of the crags at thebase of the monastery wells lookingout over the one has hisluncheon and his snack of spirits quitoundisturbed monks pay no heedto him They we not hospitable neith-er are they unfriendly One seldom teethemTruon King and Mr Hobbs were nottang te disposing of their lunch Ittoo for comfort in their draftylining room and they were not invited

Milk from HighBred Holsteins

Six Cents Per QuartT-

hat is what Van Camps Milk actually means A rich sterile milkthe best milk and cream for every purpose always on hand when wanted

n

4g

Tiheflc fe can you get of Van milkwill open a new era in your household economy

No more buying from hand to mouth nomore shortage no more waste

No more germladen milk for your tableNo more halfmilk skimmed or settled tobe used in cooking

No more milk from mongrel cows nothingbut genuine Holstein

That is why you wont go bank to themilkman when we once win you away

No Tubercular CowsThe chief danger in raw milk He in tuber-

cular germ Millions of infected cowsmilked every day are spreading consumptionat a terrible rate

That is why every authority advises steril-ized milk

Van Camps milk is sterilized but thatisnt alL Our are inspected so weknow none is infected

Our dairies are sanitary in the extremeOur evaporating plants are built withoutwood We employ every modem precaution

The result is a milk which is utterlysterile A milk that is safe without a germof any kind in it

Rich Holstein MilkWe buy none but Holstein cows the

worlds finest breed famed for thoir splen-did vitality

The milk from such cows is immeasurablybetter for children than the milk of mongrelcows

Camps

cows

¬

¬

¬

¬

This milk fresh from the cows is placed-in a vacuum And a moderate heat becauseof the vacuum throws off the water insteam

Thus we take out twothirds of the waterand the milk that results is as thick as thickcream It contains 28 cent total solidsand 8 per cent butter fat

We use no no starch no preservative Van Camps is simply richmilk for convenience in shipping

Six Cents Per QuartThe cost of Van Camps when you re

place the water which we evaporate is aboutair cents per quart

The IDcent can contains a full pint of milkreduced to the minimum And grocers givediscounts on cases

So Van Camps is cheaper than raw milkbecause your milkmans daily delivery costsmore than the milk itself

And you have no waste when you use VanCamps You never have milk left over Youopen a can when you want it and it keepstill you use it up

A Cow in the KitchenV-

an Camps ricans a cow in the kitchenRich milk or cream for every purpose allyou want and all the time

Add one part water for coffee or cerealsIt is then like the richest cream For cooking or drinking reduce as you like

Van Camps to milk dishes twice therichness and flavor that get from rawmilk For this is whole milk with all thebutter fat all the solids in it

In milkmans milk the butter fat rises andthe solids fall You dont get the whole milk

pee

Holstein¬

¬

¬

from any part of the can Then you let itstand it separates more So the milk usedfor cooking rarely more than a halfmilk

Youll be amazed at the flavor which VanCamps gives to mite dishes Not the slightalmond flavor due to sterilization apparentwhen Van Camps is drunk cold You getthat same flavor from milkmans milk whenyou heat it The delicious flavor that VanCamps gives to milk dishes is due to therichness the wholeness of the milk

Dont be MisledIf you want Holstein milk reduced to the

minimum you will always insist on VanCamps

Others may claim that common milk onlypartly reduced is just as good as VanCamps But it isnt

And dont think that condensed Txlk whichis nearly half sugar is anythin like VanCamps Van Camps contains no sugar noaddition whatever

Sugar was used to milk before thedays of sterilization It is entirely unneces-sary now If you want sugar you can buyit for half what it costs in a can of milk

And condensed milk because of the sugaris unfit for cooking You cant use it ascan Van Camps So please let no one mis-

lead

16oz can of VanCamps sells for 10 centsthe 6oz can forSo you getfor your money in buyingthe larger cans Grocersgive discounts on casesThe milk ia produced atour dairies located
