Raw Flesh Had to Use Crutches, v and Doctors Thought Amputation Necessary Montreal Woman Writes of Cure Seven Years Ago. BELIEVES LIFE SAVED BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "I hvn been treated by doc ton for twenty-five year for a bad case of Msmt on my leg. They did their beet, but lalira to cure it. My doctor had ad vised me to have my leg cut off. but I said I would try the Cuticura Itemed iea first. He said, "Try them if you like, but I do not think they will do any good. At this time my leg waa peeled from the knee, my foot was like a piece of raw flesh, and I had to walk on crutches. I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a bottle of Cuticura Pills. After the first two treatments the swelling went down, and in two months my leg waa cured and the new kin came on. The doctor could not believe his own eyes when be saw that Cuticura had cured me and said that Le would ute it for his own patient. I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap, three bo-sa of Ointment, and five bot tles of IUwolvent, and 1 have now been cured over seven years, and but for the Cuticura Remedies I might have lost my life. I have lots of grand children, and they are frequent users of Cuticura, and I always recommend it to the many people whom ray busi ness brings to my house every 'day.

OPINION ON WATER WORKS BONDS City .4 Horner Gives a Detailed An swer te l aeries of Mayor on Limi tation ef City's Bonded Indebtedness. The meeting of the rlty council last night disclosed the fact that all Is not harmony with the new democratic municipal ad ministration. Borne of the counrllmen, H appears, feel that the mayor has been treading on their toes and usurping some of their authority. The repairs to the bridge over Indian creek at Ninth street appears to be the cause of the friction. The men under Street Commissioner Flood, acting under Instructions, It Is said, from the mayor, took up the old floor and started to lay a new one. Councilmen Skodsholm and Jensen of the committee on bridges and city property say they were not consulted and at the meeting last night wanted to now Just where their authority In matters pertaining to the city bridge began and where It left off. Mayor Maloney also wanted to know where his authority as chief executive of the municipality com menced and ended, so after more or less discussion, during which Councilman Skodsholm and City Auditor McAneney had a brief wordy setto, .the city solicitor was requested to look up the new law governing cities' of the first class, the municipal ordinances and other authori ties bearing on the subject, with a view of determining exactly the authority of the mayor and that of the several standing committees of the council In all matters pertaining to the control of the various city departments. Oplnloa on 'Water Boads. In compliance with the request of Mayor Maloney, conveyed in his inaugural mes sage. City Solicitor Kimball submitted an opinion relative to the question of the power of the city to Issue bonds for the construction of a water plant. The opinion. In the form of answers to the questions propounded by the mayor, follows: 1. Is the law permitting the extent of the cltv's Indebtedness to be fixed by the actual rather than the assessed value of taxable property In conflict with the provisions of the constitution of the state? The constitution of the state limits In debtedness to & per cent on the value of the taxable property within the 'city. The supreme court of Iowa has construed this to mean the actual value of property taxed rather than value of property as assessed for taxation; therefore, the limit of the city's Indebtedness, fixed by the actual value, that la percentage on actual value of taxable property, is not in conflict with the constitution of the stale. 2. Does the county tax list show the actual or assessed values of taxable prop erty? 1 It shows both, since tne statute provides that the latter shall be IS per cent of the former. t. Will last year's tax list or some future one determine the limit to which the city can Incur indebtedr-wis? . The tax Hat last completed by the levy in Bpptember preceding the date of tha creation of the indebtedness will determine the constitutional limit. 4. What time, if i.r.y, Is fixed by law within which bonds issued for the purpose of building water plant by the city must be paid? Twenty years. 5. If the contract price of the plant la greater than the sum for which bonds can be Issued for the purpose of building a water plant, in what way can the city ob tain additional funds sufficient to build tha plant? The only limit upon the issue of bonds for the purpose of building a water works plant is upon tlm general city bonds that may be Issued up to nn amount so that the total indebtedness of the city not pay able out of special funds shall not exceed 6 per cent ef the total actual value of the taxable property of the city. If the con tract price of the plant Is greater than such sum to be derived from such general city bonds, which I take it Is the meaning of the question, there are two sources of ad ditional income provided for the purpose. First the accumulation of the sinking fund, which was established some time ago by a levy of 2 mills; aecond, by special water works bonds which constitute a first mort aaae on the Dlar.t. and which are not lim ited by the conatltutlon under the law, and which can be issued to any extent to which thev can bo funded. These latter bonds are not tiiider the di-clslons relative to the constituti jnal limitation, indebtedness of tha city, therefore, I assume are not the bonda referred to !n the question. 6. What limit of tax can the city levy to provide a sinking fund for the payment of these bonds? Two mills on the dollar of assessed value only, strictly for a sinking fund, annually. 7. What limit or tax can it levy 10 pay interest on the bonds? Kive mills on the dollar 01 assessed value. annually, -the same as is now levied to pay hydrate rentals, and in addition thereto a levy of rates for private consumption In excess of that necessary to operate the plant. If such levy exceeds the Interest charge each year it could be applied upon any maturing bonds, or placed In the sink ing fund for application at maturity of any of the bonda. Cost of Opening Streets. Chairman Skodsholm of the committee on bridges and city property reported that tha cost of opening Twenty-fourth street be tween Proadway and First avenue would be 11.100. Three cottages now on ths ground would have to be removed. One property owner asked 700 for the portion required of his lots and another aaked ") for twenty-two feet of his holding. The owners of the buildings agree to remove them within sixty days of the acceptance of their offer. The matter was referred to the Judiciary committee and city solicitor. The request of J. W. Squire for permis sion to repair ljls building at the corner of Main street and First avenue, recently damaged by fire In. the Hayes pantorlum. was referred to the committee on fire and light and the chief of the fire department. The First Nattcuial bank filed notice of appeal to the district court from the assess ment of its stock as mada by the city assessor and approved by the board of review. The contract with John Nelaon for the city dumping grounds and pound was re newed for another year. - The request of the Jensen Sons' Milling and Qraln company to place part of its proposed buildings on Thirteenth avenue Just west of Seventh street was referred to the committee of the whole, which" will meet Thursday afternoon. On motion of Councilman Younkerman the salary of the clerk of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners was re duced from $JS to 15 a month. The posi tion Is held by former City Clerk W. F. Pspp. The committee on fire and light was au thorlied to sell the old fire department truck which has been out of commission for several years to an Omaha party In the house moving business for $1(16. Cty Clefk Casady announced the ap pointment of Albert Mortcnsen as his deputy and the appointment was approved. Councilman Bellinger alone voting against It. Mr. Mortensen Is a nephew of Council man Bkndsholm. At the suggestion of Councilman Morgan, the mayor will today appoint two special Committees to look after the matter of the proposed new engine house. One commit tee will have charge of raising the funds and the other will prepare plans arid speci fications for bridging Indian creek. The council adjourned to next Monday night. 6,000 FINES DOG COLLARS on sale at Peterson A Bchoeing Co. Prlcea from 15u to $3.

That offer, in one day, cost $32,400. Do you know any other beans good enough to stand a test like that? Again and again we told you that Van Camp's beans are best. And we toltJY you why. But the beans themselres, when we gave you a can, sur prised you did they not ? Aren't these beans delicious? Do you wonder we took so much space in this paper, in on effort to get you to try them ? , Perhaps the first thing you said was, "These are not like our home-baked beans." It is true; they are not. But it isn't your fault. It's your lack of facilities. We bake in live steam, while you must use dry heat. We can bake our beans until they axe mealy, yefthey arej sutty because they are whole. J . .That can't be done in a home oven. . Your top beans axe crisped; the balance are only half--baked. They are mushy because they are broken. You have learned now how much better beans are when they are nutty, mealy and whole. , If you think that other beans are as good as Van Camp's, please servo them with ours and see. Let your people decide. Then get the brand which they like best We are willing to leave it to them. r There's a very wide difference between other brands and Van Camp's. And it isn't due alone to our process. We pay $2.10 per bushel to get the right beans, though beans axe sold as low as 30 cents. But ours axe Michigan beans from a soil rich in nitrogen. Ours are picked out by hand from the choicest part of the crop. We get only the whitest, the plumpest, the fullest-grown. v - All beans of one size you saw that. We spend five times as much to make our tomato sauce as other sauce costs ready-made. But much sauce is made from tomatoes picked green and ripened in shipment. Much is made of scraps from a canning factory. Such sauce is not rich, not savory. Ours is made from whole, ripe tomatoes, ripened on the If vT-l .lil' yines.

Slot machines received their deathblow today and. so far aa they are concerned, the lid is on In Des Moines. Commissioner Hamery today issued an order putting them out of business. He directed the police depart ment, of which he Is superintendent, to see that written notice was served on every proprietor of a slot machine that the ma chines must be out by Thursday. He di rected further that the order should apply to all slot machines In which there Is any element of chance In what the customer will get for his money. The order of Commissioner Hamery was Issued following a written opinion by the city solicitor that such slot machines ar. contrary to the law of the atate and con trary to the ordinances of the city of Dea Moines. Once before slot macnlnes were temporarily put out ol business in Des Moines by the action of a Justice of tho peace in having numerous places raided where slot machine, were in use. Want Mere Candidates. George F. Rinehart, editor of the Demo cratic-Chronicle, published here, said today that the democratic party made a big mis take In not having more than one candi date for each office in the field. By hav ing but on candidate he pointed out there la no Incentive for democrats to get out to the primaries on June 2. for ther. can be no choic. between candidates. This situa tion he criticises for the reaaon. as he al leges, there Is additional temptation for democrats to go over to the republican pri maries and take a part In the selection of candidates there where there is a fight on. Once having called for a republican ticket at the primaries, and thua affllated with the republicans, he feels that th.y are likely to remain, republicans. ' Blar Receipts Today.

You noted, too, that our beans are not heavy. They don't ferment and form gas. That's because we have made them digestible. We bake them in ovens heated to 245 degrees. That's' more than twice the heat that gets to the center of your baking dish. That heat is essential. It separates the particles so tht) digestive juices can get to them. Beans, to be digestible, must be factory cooked. Please remember these differences. Dont go back to home baking. Think of the fuel it takes"' the time and the bother. We have shown you how we bake beans, after 47 years of experience. We have brought them to you, fresh and savory, Just as they came from our ovens. Each can in your pantry, when heated, means a delicious meal, ready cooked. For all of the future, let us cook for you. That superlative test which you found in Van Camp's Is Nature's own flavor. Beans are Nature's choicest food, when they are rightly baked. They are 23 nitrogenous 84. nutriment. . At a fraction of the cost, you get in good beans all the nutrition of meat. . They should be a daily dish, not an occasional. They are delicious for breakfast, served in the form of croquettes with ham. An ideal luncheon a fine salad for dinner. It pays to serve the best beans, for the best are cheap enough.' Your people will eat more of them, and the saving will show in your meat bills. Beans are appetizing and hearty; all people like them.', And they are easy to serve. These meals are always ready. Those are some of the reasons why for your own good you should always insist on Van Camp's. and 20 cents per can th. atate.

Among other things State Railroad Commissioner N. S. Ketch um who Is up fur renominatlon, says: "Tou understand, of course, that In the position 1 hold it would be very unjust and unwise for me to prejudge a cao that might come before the board for ad judication, and I am quite sure that no reasonable man would, vexp ei me to ad vance an opinion bcfuie the case is heard. Such a thing would never be thought of with reference to any of our courts and any attempt to coerce a Judge to state the position he might take on a case might he presented to him would result very disastrously to the person maklnr such attempt. The functions of this board are quasi Judicial and the members of it must be more or less bound by the proprieties." Mr. Keys of Council Bluffs In his answer quotes the law at some length aa to the powers and authority of the commission and assures the Commercial club that ha will make It his special aim to carry out the law with justice to all sections of th. state.
