able site.

ABERDEEN, S. D., July 2S.-(Special)-
The greatest primary cattle market in
America and the world has passed into
oblivion and In a few days the last rail-
road track will be torn up, the only re-
naming link between that once great CEN
ter and the outside world. The passing of
Evarts is the result of the march of prog
ress. The town Is near the Missouri river,
a few miles southwest Of Glenham, but
it was passed up when the Milwaukee
railroad decided to extend to the coast.
Evarts was not suitable as the site for
the great steel bridge across the Missouri,
in fact the engineers spent weeks trying
to find solid rock in which to build foun-
dations for the huge structure, They found
this at a place which has since developed
into a flourishing town called Mowbridge,
But the Milwaukee could not, under its
charter, abandon the town OF Evarts.
through an agent the railroad offered the
people any site they might select in any
of the new towns on the extension. The
offer was accepted, the exodus began,
houses and buildings were dragged across
the prairie to other towns and before
August 1 the railroad will tear up it's tracks
and nothing will be left of Evarts but a
memory of the great cattle market and
Indian trading post.

Let your people decide. Ask them if these beans
nutty and mealy-are better than beans that are mushy
and broken.
Ask them if these beans--all baked alike-are better
than crisped beans mixed with beans half baked,
Ask if they like the delicious blend that we get by
baking the tomato sauce into the beans.
Then note the after-effects Home-baked beans only
partly digest, because you apply insufficient heat, So
they ferment and form gas. Van Camps don't.
Our beans are baked in small parcels-in ovens heated
to 245 degrees. They are baked in live steam, not in dry
heat. They are baked until that fierce heat separates
the particles so the digestive juices can get to them.
The result is our beans are digestible.
Beans are Natures choicest food when they are rightly
baked. More nutritious than meat or eggs or cheese.
They are both cheap and delicious; all people like
them. They should be a daily dish, not an occasional.
You will eat more beans, and save much on your meat
bills, when you know Van Camps.
