We Pay $3.50

We could buy beans as low as 80 cents per
bushel. yet pay s. 50 for ours.
We bay ours in Michigan, for there a certain
soil, rich in nitrogen, grows the best beans that
we know.
Our buyers select the choicest part OF the crop.
All the beans that we buy are picked over BY
hand, 50 that we get only the whitsst, the plump
est the fullest grown.
That is Why we pay $3.50
You can't get such beans-not at one store in
twenty. That is one reason why home beans are
never SO good as Van Camps.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-06-09

Beans, more than anything else. need
TO be factory cooked. It IS not.merely a
question of having theTu palatabie. It is
the vital need of making them digestible.
You can't break down the fibre of beans
without 3 terrific heat.
This is how we do if:
After boiling our beans in two waters
we bake them.
We bake the beans, the tomal 0 sauce
and the pork all together. Thus we get
our delicious blend.
Our ovens are heated to PAS degrees,
and the beans are baked go minutes.
They are baked in live steam-not in dry
heat. That is why they don't scorch.
In an oven heated to boiling point
PIP degrees-it would take you six hours
to do what we do ia those 80 minutes.
When we are done, the beans are so
mealy that they mash like potatoes. They
are thoroughly digesible. for that fierce
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-06-09

We know-better than anyone else
how to prepare baked beans. This is our
specialty-our one claim to supremacy.
We have spent ~ years in'learning how
to perfect it.
The result is, Van Camps command,
by several times over, the largest sale in
the world.
There are brands that cost 1ess-and
no wonder. Beans can be bought for
one-seventh what we pay. Catsup is sold
for one-ffth what ours costs.
Despite their cheapness, your grocer
makes more on the cheap beans than he
makes on Van Camps.
But you don't want them. They cost
double their value. And think what you
save, in the long run, by serving beans
that your people like. They will eat
them more frequently. And no other
food, when measured by nourishment, is
nearly SO cheap as beans.

KELLEY DISAPPEARS
 IN BLACK MOUNTAINS

Bristol, Va, June IA report from West County. Virginia, which has not yet been confirmed, says that Mine Su- perintendent W, F, Kelley of a Wise County coal mining company, who nnysr terious1y disappeared in the Black Mountains over week ago. has not been located.
 Kelly is about the fourth person since Edward L.. Wentz. the young Philadel- phia millionaire, who suddenly disap- peared in these mountains, though none of the others were ever found.
 About five years ago young Wentz was lost and though reward of $780, 900 was offered for his body, and hun- dreds of men secured the mountains for weeks, is was six months before his body was found. It was riddled with bullets. Later B. F. Gearhart, Rris- tol insurance man, disappeared in the Black Mountains and was never heard from.
 About q year ago. Walter Kent. q Penr syivania engineer. was lost in the Black Mountains and was Bever found and his relatives have never heard from him since.
 Several revenue officers have sud- denly been lost in the mountains. which are just across the line from the coun- try infested by the notorious Kentucky feudists and the theory is that they have all been murdered and their bodies hid.

ENGINEERS TO BUILD
HOME PROPOSED BY
 BROTHERHOOD.
Generous Cclumbus Paid All Exveuse of the Convention and Threw
 in Five Dollar Gold Piece.

Coiumbps, 0. June 1.-The question of whether 1t would be wise to remove the permanent headauarters of the Inter-
 natienal Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was decided at yesterdays meeting and brought up again It's as- ecciatsd question of the advisabiiity of erecting s home ofice buildinr in Cleveland and also the question of what kind of a structure it would be wise to build whether a tall one with many offices or one comparatively small but with enough offices to balance ac- counts at the end of the year. No de- cision was arrived at and the question will probably come up again today. The Grand Chief Engineer presented a number of plans drawn by Cleveland
 The Columbus engineers on the Com mfttee on Arrangements for the con- vention broke a record today when through their chairman John P. Ba- ker they presented the international body with s5 gold piece and demand ed Q receipt for 1t and for the expenses of the convention, This was the conn mittee's way of informing the conven- ton that all the expenses had been borne by the citizens and the engineers of Columbus. The action is a new one in the history of the organization. Tn come cases deficits have run to st.o00 and ei.5o0 which the international body would be compelled to pay.
 The Committee on Salaries reported today with a accommodation of in- creeses in salaries of the grand officers all along the line. The convention sat down upon the report and salaries for the next two years will re- main the same as they have been,

VALUE OF OPTIMISM.
SUBJECT or ADDRESS BY GOVERN
 OR JOHNSON.
Mfnnesota Executive speaks To sfu- dents in Chicago and Refers To
 the Conference at the White

Chicago, June 1.-The value of optim- ism was the chord of the address by Governor John A. Johnson, of Minne- sota. before the students of the Armor Institute of Technology here tonight.
 His subject was .The Resources of America" a subject he chose, he said, because of his conviction that all of his hearers were optimists and because that subject was the most optimistic theme thought of by man since Adam discovered himself ih the Garden of Eden.
 |. "It was my pleasure, last month"; the Governor said. "to preside for a day pyer a Congress of Governors as- sembled from the Capitals of the sew srai States of the Union by invitation or the President. to subject the sub ject of conservation of the National resources. One might think from the nature of the subject considered that the resources of America were in dan ger of depletion. Yet the facts pro- dueed and plans proposed at that Con- gress by leading authorities in the Na- tion's chief spheres of industrial activ- ity developed anything but consola- ton to the school of pessimism. It was conclusively proven that the great mine and quarry of American resources are even today little more than opened"

(G0ntfnued from Page One.t number of politicians friendly te candidates other than William H. Taft, that Foraker headquarters will ba opened tonight or tomorrow in the Great Northern Hotel. Charles F. Kurts of Columbus. Ohio. who has been Foraksr lieutenant for thirty years. is to have charge of the Sena- tors interest.
 Charles P Taft of Cincinnati. broth CT of the secretary of war, came to that he expected the secretary to be nominated without difiicuity on the first ballot. He smiled as he cautioned listeners to remember that he was a prejudtced witness, bat asserted that there was no doubt in his mind that only one ballot would be cast, He said that in his opinion the figures of the Taft bureau should be taken se- riously because four figures from the beginning of the fight for the Repub- lican nomination have always been nearer right than those Of the other feilow.n
 Vice Presidential gossip was prom inent today for the first time, the names of Senator J. P. Deliver of Iowa and James Sherman of New York, being mentioned, John Hays Ham mond. the we'll known mining engineer, was also talked of.

 Governor John A. Johnson of Mlnne- sota, arrived in Chicago today and spent a short time at his headquartera in the Grand Pacific Hotal. Discussing political conditions, he said:
 T believe that the Denver conven- ton will be deliberative body. and that nobody has a sufficient number of delegates to assure nomination. II regard the conditions as favorable for Democratic success If the right man is named and the right sort Of a plat form made. Nothing In recent devai- opments has changed my attitude and I am still candidate for the nemina- tion"

La Porte.
