PORTO R1cAN CITIZENSHIP.
Decision at San Juan Calls Attention
to New Phase.

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. May 14-In
the federal court Judge Rodey has hand
ed down a decision that has called atten-
ton to new phase Of the complex ques-
ton of Porto Rican citizenship. The
Judge was hearing a libel suit against
Vicente Balbas. editor of the Heraldo Es-
panole, in which damages Of $4,000 are
demanded He held that Senior Balbas.
although born in Porto Rico Of Spanish
parents. and in spite Of the fact that he
had obtained letters OF naturalization
from the Spanish crown. In which he
renounced whatever American or Porto
Rican citizenship he had enjoyed. was
still Porto Rican.
The Judge reached this conclusion on
the ground that II Spain could naturalize
Balbas she could then make all Porto
Rcans Spanish subjects by issuing let
tiers of naturalization to them by royal
order He held that under the treaty OF
Paris Balbas had become citizen OF
Porto Rico and that consequently he
could not become q subject of Spain
The decision Of Judge Rodey virtually
means that no citizen of Porto Rico can
become a subject Of King Alphonso while
he remains resident of Porto Rico.

You Know Good Beans
Just as Well as We
We shall not need to argue if you'll try Van Camps. Compare them once
with others. Judge which you like best you know your taste. All the
world would use Van Camps if all the world did that

Home-baked beans are mushy and broken. They are
crisped on the top and half-done in the middle. They fer
ment and form gas because they are not digestible.
That is because you bake in dry heat-in too little
heat. You can bake in live steam, as we do.
Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees. That fierce heat
separates the particles SO the digestive juices can get to
them.
Yet the beans are baked-baked until they are mealy
without a skin being broken. They are nutty because
they are whole.
Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork
all together, and get our delicious blend. The result is
a dish in every way different from the old-fashioned,
home-baked beans.
And Van Camps are Just as different from other
brands of beans that are ready-baked.
One reason is, we have spent AZ years in learning how
to make this perfect dish.
Then we use Michigan beans, picked out by hand from
the choicest part of the crop. They are costing us now
nine times as much as some other beans would cost.
We spend five times as much to make our tomato sauce
as other sauce would cost us ready-made.
But you will see the reason why we pay the price if you
compare other beans with Van Camps.

You can get a small can of Van Camps for ten cents.
And that one can will tell you more than our ads can tell.
Perhaps you are baking your beans at home. That can
will tell you what a mistake you are making.
Perhaps you are using other brands. That can will
tell you the remarkable difference.
Won't you spend ten cents to know, for all time, the
best beans that ever were baked2
Why do you suppose that millions now use Van
Camp's1 We can scarcely find enough beans, of our
grade, to supply them.
They once baked beans at home, perhaps. They once
used other brands. Why are they coming, by millions,
to swell the enormous demand for Van Camp'sf
A single can will tell you.
There are myriads of brands of beans. Some of them
cost the grocer only half as much as Van Camps. Some
makers give to grocers one case free in five.
Yet-with all these factors against us-Van Camps
have won by far the largest sale in the world. Don't you
want to know the beans that have done thatH
Some think Of beans as a homely dish-a simple dish
a dish that every housewife knows.
Please let US change that idea. Home baked beans are
nothing like Van Camps.
