PRIEST PREVENTS A PANIC
Attempt Made to Burn Church Near
Berlin While Congregation
II at Prayer.

BERLIN, June 9.-An attempt was made
today to burn down the old st. Paurs
Catholic church at Moabit, belonging to the
Dominicans, which was crowded with people
assembled 10 hear a sermon by the famous
Dominican monk. Bonaventuri. About 1880
persons were present, including more than
1,OO0 women and children, TO hear the mass.
While the congregation was kneeling in
silent prayer some one informed Father
Bonaventuri that the church was afire.
Without informing the congregation, he
coolly stepped over TO the priest, who was
celebrating the mass, and requested him to
close the service. The priest left the altar
and spoke to his six assistants and walked
down the aisle and whispered TO the pew
holders that an Insignificant blaze had
broken out and that they had better leave
the building as soon as possible. BY this
time the entire roof Of the church was a
mass OF flames and the fire brigade was
hurrying TO the burning building. Those
in the church not knowing the extent of
the fire did not realize their danger and
made their exit rapidly and in an orderly
manner When they reached the streets
they found the firemen drawn up with
ladders against the walls.
The fire fighters discovered that nearly
a dozen fire brands, soaked with petroleum.
had been distributed about various parts
of the roof. The flames were ~extinguished
with difficulty after great damage had been
done. The police suspect a gang Of in
cendiaries who. It is stated. set fire to the
old Garrison church, which was destroyed
on April Il last.
The firemen declare that only the GOODNESS
Of the clergy today prevented a great
disaster.

Beans, more than anything else, need
to be factory cooked. 1t Is not merely a
question Of having them palatable. 1t is
the vital need of making them digestible.
You can't break down the fibre of beans
without a terrific heat.
This is how we do it:
After boiling our beans in two waters
we bake them.
We bake the beans, the tomato sauce
and the pork all together. Thus we get
our delicious blend
Our ovens are heated to 245 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
212 degrees-it would take you six hours
to do what we do in those 80 minutes.
When we are done, the beans are so
mealy that they mash like potatoes. They
are thoroughly digestible, for that fierce
Omaha daily bee., 1908-06-10

We know-better than anyone else
how to prepare baked beans. This is o.
specialty-our one claim to supremacy.
We have spent AZ 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 less-and
no wonder. Beans can be bought for
o~ne-seventh what we pay. Catsup is sold
for one-hfth what ours costs.
Despite their cheapness, your grocer
makes more on the cheap beans than he
makes on Van Camps. p
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 no~urishment, is
nearly so cheap as beans
