They Digest
The fierce heat of our ovens makes
our beans digestible. 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 ?

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.'

E. W. BAKER, Supt. Bee Building.
The feeling exemplified by "Love Thy
Neighbor, etc." was personified at the
twenty-second snniversary and stag social
of Omaha lodge No. 39, Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, held In the Elks'
hall Friday night, where, besides the local
members, numbers of visitors in the city
were treated to an entertainment unex
celled In the history of the local lodge.
Songs, recitations, monologues, descrip
tive dances, addresses, graphophone selec
tions and romances, refreshments and
cigars went to make up such a lengthy
program that It was found impossible for
the artists to respond to encores. The hits
of the evening were scored by selections
by the Elks' quartet ' of Council Bluffs
and a monologue sketch by Mr. L. Has
kell, a member of New York lodge No. 1
and playing this week at the Orpheum
theater. As an encore Mr. Haskell told
of the work done by the New York lodge
and extended an Invitation to local mem
bers to make that, lodge their headqu
ters In future visits to the big city. With
Mr. Haskell . was Mr. Buckley, another
member of the 'mother lodge.
A recitation by Albert Morrison of the
Boyd Stock company elicited considerablo
applause, as did songs by Henry Dunn
Tom Colli and Dave Bonier.
A Scotch dance in Highland costume by
"Daddy" Meldrum, to the accompaniment
of bagpipe music by J. C. Buchanan, was
one of the many novelties of the program,
Prominent among the visitors besides
Messrs. Haskell and Buckley of the mother
lodge, were various members of the tliea
tries! profession, many of whom enter
tatned in various manners. The following
committee on arrangements were the re
clpient of considerable commendation on
the success of the affair: S. F. Wood
bridge, Carl Lang, Thomas Swift, O. A,

H0DEN SHOT BY COMPANION
This, is Opinion of Detect l-r. 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

bis too robust performance towards tiie end
