Beans are 1888
Every busha of beans used in Van Camps now costs us $2!63. Still other
beans sell down to 30 cents. Now is the time to be careful. If you want
the best beans, be sur to insist on Van Camps

The demand for Van Camps has grown almost too
large to be profitable.
You all want the best beans now, and such beans have
grown scarce. We must pay extravagant prices to get
them.
But we are getting them still, and we shall get them
elseywe will stop baking beans.
=, For Van Camps will always be those white, plump,
fulEgrown ~beansAselected Michigan beans. And, no
matter what they cost us, we shall not raise the price to
you.
They told .us-not long ago--that people were content
with the beans they were getting. Some were content
with home-baked beans; some with the common ready
baked brands.
Yet those contented people were eating beans scarcely
once a week.
Then we told you about Van Camps. We even gave
away hundreds of thousands of cans to show you how
good they are.
The result is, millions have learned-for the first time
how good baked beans can be. They have made Van
Camps almost a daily dish. They are using so many
that it is immensely. hard to supply them.
But it isn't the beans alone. The goodness of those
beans is largely due to our method of baking.

The present tendencies OF the two parties

Omaha daily bee., 1908-06-17

You were accustomed to beans that were mushy and
broken. We have given you beans that are nutty be-
cause they are whole.
We have baked them in live steam, so all beans were
baked alike. They are mealy, yet unbroken.
We have baked them in ovens heated to 245 degrees,
so the beans are made digestible. You have ceased to
regard them as heavy food. They have ceased to fer
ment and form gas. '' 81
Would you-any one of you--go back to the old ways
nowi
We have given you, too, a new idea of tomato sance.
But it costs Us five times what other sauce costs to make.
You have eaten sauce from tomatoes picked green,
and ripened in shipment. You found it was fat.
You have eaten sauce made of scraps from a canning
factory. You found it was not rich. n
We have shown you tomato sauce made from whole
ripe tomatoes-ripened on the vines. Picked when tho
juice fairly sparkles.
You have found it to have a new savor-a sparkling
zest which Nature alone can give.
And we have baked that tomato sauce into the beans.
You have found that quite different from adding it after
wards.
Those are the reasons why millions of homes are using
Van Camps beans now.

COAL MAY LAST CENTURY.

supply viii BE Exhausted II Waste
Continues, Says 1. c. White.
/. c. White. State geologist of West
Virginia, at meeting OF the subcommit-
tee Of the Committee on Mining of the
House Of Representatives. declared the
supply Of coal in this country would be
exhausted in less than 100 years II allow
ed to go TO waste as at the present time.
White was advocating the establishment
OF bureau Of mines.
White said the pre-eminence of the
United States In the industrial world was
due To the abundance Of coal. That is
what has made Pittsburg the manufac-
turing center OF the country" said White.
And it is what win keep the United
States in the foreground of the industrial
world as long as We can utilize our enor-
NOUS resources.
But great as they are, they are ex-
haustible. With the present rate OF
waste. our cheap power instead Of last
ing for hundreds of years. as il should.
will be exhausted in less than a century
unless we can prevent the waste"
White cited instances of waste where
deep seams are but scarcely touched. and
beds above these veins are spoiled by the
skimming over Of the leads.
He asserted that such condition should
be scientifically investigated This could
be best done. he said, under the super-
vision of a bureau of mines.
While the subcommittee has not reDort-
ed, it is understood the establishment of
a bureau Of mines is favorably considered
and will be reported favorably.
