New Tork, Aug. 30.

More than 200 children In a limited district of Brooklyn have been stricken within the past few days with a form of Infantile paralysis. Not even the healthiest children are Immune from the epidemic and bottle fed babies seem the susceptible. Although the disease does not appear to be atal. Brooklyn physicians believe that many of the victims will be crippled for life. The superintendent of the Brooklyn health department, who to-day began an Investigation of the outbreak, said that he present epidemic is the fourth largest of Us kind In medical history.

Great difficulty has been heretofore In checking the disease because little has been known about Its cause and nature. Gaeat Lost Everything. Niajrara-on-the-Lake. Aug. 26.

The Strathcona Hotel, one of the landmarks on the frontier and Just outside the town limits, caught fire at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon and burned to the ground. The whole house and everything In It were totally destroyed. The loss. Including property lost by the guests will be ebout ts.m.

The other guests, who numbered possibly SO, were In bathing, on the golf links or tennis courts at the time of the lire. They have left tonight just what they wore. Several women are still attired In bathing suits. The guests found beds In the private cottages scattered about the Chautauqua grounds.

The Strathcona was a frame, three story building worth possibly $15,000. It was owned by a Toronto -company. The Queens Royal, where the championship tennis matches are being played, is a mile and a half away. Our purpose is not to denounce rival brands.

3 Small Five-Cent Cans To this sham we confess to be parries. For we, like the others, put up 5-cent cans. But we do so only because mistaken people demand And we tell you the facta about them. The 5-cent can whether of Van Camp's or others contains but six ounces of milk. The 10-cent can the large can of Vaa Camp's contains 16 ounces or a full pint So the large can gives you one-third more than the small for your money.

The difference in a year is considerable. 'Some people use the small cans for fear the large won't keep. They are wrong. The opened can will keep till you use it up. Some buy the small cans because they use the milk on the table only.

They are losing its greatest service. Van Camp's for cooking is cheaper than raw milk, and vastly more convenient.

So, in our mutual interest, we tell of these hams. Sham Noe 1 Condensed Milk Sweetened condensed milk contains abont 40 per cent of sugar. a result, the milk is thin and watery.

The sugar was originally used to preserve i it But the discovery of strillration made sugar unnecessary. To buy condensed milk means to waste half of your money. First, because it is nearly half sugar. Second, because of the scanty cans only 12 ounces for 10 cents. If yon wart it sweetened milk, the cheapest way is to add the sugar' yourself.

In Van Canp's you get 16 ounces for 10 cents exactly one-third more. And Van Camp's is all milk. Condensed milk, because of the sugar, is unfit for cooking. Van Camp's serves every purpose.

They are robust, contented, famous for their vitality. Mongrel cows cost less money, of course, but the difference fully shows in the milk.

The milk of common cows, evaporated, costs just as much as Van Camp's. Its value is considerably less. We evaporate from our Holstein milk a full two-thirds of the water. The result is a milk as thick as thick cream. Every can will show 28 per ctai solids 8 per cent butter fat.

1 When this milk is reduced to the basis of milkman's milk, the cost is about six cents per quart If we took out only one-third of the water, we could make more money. But the loss would fall on you.
