Yours are not Home-baked beans are heavy food. They are hard to digest, also hard to prepare. That's why you serve them only occasionally. 1 Yet beans are Nature's choicest food 84 per cent nutri ment. . But beans, to be digestible, must be factory cooked. It requires a terrific heat to separate the particles for the digestive juices. You cannot apply it. Your beans are mushy; ours mealy.! Yours are broken; ours are whole That's because vve bake in live steam not In dry heat. And the baking is done in the cans. The result is that nutty flavor which distinguishes Van Camp's. v Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork all together, and get our delicious blend. You miss these 1 " results in home cooking, because you lack the facilities. Van Camp's pork and beans baked with tomato sauce The beans that we use cost $2.10 per bushel, though we could buy beans as low as 30 cents. We get only the whitest, the plumpest, the choicest beans that grow. We spend five times as much to make our tomato sauce as other sauce costs ready-made. But that sparkling zest which you note in Van Camp's shows the difference. Be careful to get the best in baked beans, for the best are cheap enough Cheap beans are not appetizing. They are neither good nor good for you. You'll eat them only once in a while. But you will want Van Camp's every day. Your pedple will miss them when you don't have them. ' They are far cheaper than meat, yet, they have about the same food value. Why not encourage their use ? 10, IS and 20 per can. Van Camp Packing Company, Indianapolis, Ind.

The New York Mobile Car Sign Company Youthful Murderer of Ham Found Guilty by Jury. Pak SECOND CONVICTION IN CASE Charles rampfcrer Is Alreadr errlaa: Life ftentenee and Basil Mallra, State's Witness Is Yet to Be Tried. Imprisonment In the penitentiary for life was the punishment decreed to 19-year-old Willis Almack for his part In the murder of Ham Pak, a Chinese restaurant keeper at Thirteenth and Douglas streets, on the morning of July 11. After deliberating an hour and taking five ballots the Jury agreed to a verdict of murder In the first degree short fy after t Friday night and found little difficulty in fixing the punishment. Almack Is the second of the trio to be convicted. Charles Humphrey, who Is sup posed to have struck tlio blowa that caused the Chinaman's death, wns convicted at the last term of court and sentenced ,to life. Bas'l Mullen, who turned state's evidence, has not been sentenced yet and It has not been announced whether he will stand trial or plead guilty The Jury wmt out about 6 o'clock yester day afternoon and went to supper at once. After returning from the meal the balloting began. The first ballot, according to re ports, stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal. On the second ballot one of the minority went over to the majority and on the fifth ballot the Jury was unanimous. No one voted for the death penalty. Almack showed no emotion when he heard the verdict, and though he had hoped for an acquittal, he was evidently prepared for the verdict of guilty. His father and two sisters from Melrose, la., who were with him during the trial, were not present when the verdict was, read, j Crime I n usual Oae. The case has attracted more than ordinary Interest because the victim was a Mongolian and the three murderers were youths rang ing from 17 to 21 years of age. Almack was a waiter In Pak's restaurant. According to his testimony, the crime was committed by Pumplirey and Mullen. Mullen, on the other hand testified all three of them were In the conspiracy to rob Pak, but the blowa were struck by Pumphrey. The boys secured about 166 in money, two watches and a ring and fled to St. Louis Mullen afterward went to his home at Lenox, SB., where he was arrested. Almack was arrested in St.' Louis, where he was living under an assumed name and Puinph rey was found In a small summer resort in Arkansas working under a fictitious name Most of Friday's session was given over to the arguments of the attorneys. Deputy CJounty Attorney Kllick opened and wad louowea py i. a. iioiusier ana vv, w Dodge for Almack and County Attorney English closed. He did not ask directly for the death penalty, but told the Jury It should determine the punishment from the testi mony. Judge Sears read his Instructions shortly before 8 o'clock and the Jury retired at once. Although Pumphrey, In his testimony do clared Almack knew nothing of the crlmo until after it had been committed, he was not called to testify, because his testimony differed from Almack's in a number of lnv portant details.'

Who Inveatlaated Myatvrioas Case. Detectives completed their Inves ljatlon of the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Louts Hoden of 2717 South Fifteenth street, who Is at the Omaha General hos pital recovering from a bullet wound In the shoulder. He alleged that he was shot by a bullet from the revolver of one of tho detectives who broke up a crap shoot ing gang of boys at Tenth and Boulevard streets last Sunday morning. - The detectives declared they fired their guns into the air and that they were sure they had not hit the boy. The report which they have placed In the hands of Chief Donahue declares decidedly that they believe the boy was shot by one of his companions. The ruid was made before 11 o'clock Sun day morning and the boy did not know he was shot, the report says, until 1 p. m. The detectives found that Hoden was the one who grabbed up the money when the detectives, appeared and though they could not get a confession from any of the boys that they shot Hoden they believe that Is what happened.

Mis l'ottes With terrible, crushing realism Miss Maiy Shaw and her company force home the un pleasantness of 'Ohosts." Ibsen himself could scarcely have asked a more depress ing effect from the drama In which he sought to depict the truth of the divine dictum about visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto tho third and fourth generation." Whether oi not- the doctor Is correct In his premise, he Is terrible In Ms deduotlon, snd Miss Shaw spares out a detail of the horror. She pursues the thought of the author with relentless tidelity from end to end, bring ing the tragedy to a climax of strength seldom seen so overwhelming In Its Inten sity that most of her audience sat still for some moments after the curtain had gone down on the last awful scene, trying to col lect courage to leave the theater. "Ohosts" Is depreaxlng enough In yroKpect, but to see It portrayed with such delinlts and tremend ous effect Is Just a trifle more than oTd nary nerves are calculated to bear. It Is a tribute, pcrhara, to Miss Bhaw's capacity as an actress that not many went to the Ikiyd last night to see her. Very few peo ple have so deep and abiding an Interest In art that they are willing to subject them selves to the strain put upon them by Ibnen'a "Uhosts." Anything that may be said of Miss Shaw's capacity as an actress must be said In prulBe. -She Is more than clever; she Is really strong She has the force and ;ul to carry conviction wllh her work, and by her sincerity rhe rcuches effect that few even attempt. It Is not her fault, prob ably, that public taste has drifted awsy from tragedy; otherwise she would be much more successful financially. Her artlatlo worth is beyond question. Mr. Aylmer has not learned to restrain himself entirely, and mars to some degres the good work he does as young Alvlng 1 y bis too robust performance towards tiie end of the second act, and again in the third act Miss Tettes is good as Rcgimi, and Mr. Pratt makes a splendid Manders, whilu Mr. Cohlll won a round of applause by Ms excellent portrayal of the double-dealing .ngtrand.
