Michigan beans, picked over by hand,
The whitest, plumpest, fullest-grown

We buy only the choicest Michigan BEANS grown on
soil rich in nitrogen.
Then these choice beans picked by hand, SO
all but the best are discarded That why our beans
are so perfect, full grown, so uniform in SIZE
Sometimes pay, to get such beans, eight and nine
times what other beans would cost. But always de-
mand and always get, this highest grade of bean no
matter what the price is.
! The immense popularity of Van Camps is due, In
large part, to those beans.

Beans are Natures choicest food-84% nutriment.
They give you more food value than meat pound for
pound. Yet they cost but fraction much
They are delicious and appetizing; all people like
them You can them daily, without firing your
people, if you Van Camps.
There is no food more nourishing, no food that is
cheaper no food better cooked.
It pays to get the best beans-the beans that your
people like. Then them in place Of meat.

that gets to the center Of your baking dish The par
tcles are separated so the digestive juices get to
them. Our beans digest completely.
Then we bake in live steam-not in dry heat None
of our beans are crisped, broken.
All are baked alike-a]l baked until they mealy
Yet they are nutty because they are whole.
There is no need to have beans that mushy and
broken People don't like them that way. Learn how
different beans are when baked in the Van Camp way.

Our tomatoes are all vine-ripened,
and our sauce has sparkling zest

You have eaten sauce made from tomatoes picked
green and ripened in shipment You found it was fiat
I You have eaten made of scraps from canning
factory, and you found it lacked richness.
Our sauce is made solely from vneripened tomatoes,
.1picked when the juice fairly sparkles
| We spend to make it five times what common sauce IS
sold for But the result savor superlative zest
(which Nature alone give.
That is the sauce which we bake into our beans, so
that it goes clear through.
Our ovens are heated to PAS degrees.
That's why our beans are digestible
Home baked are heavy and hard to digest They fer
snent and form gas. 1t is simply for lack of heat
I'VE apply to every bean more than twice the heat

No matter what you do in winter you surely don't
want to bake beans in Let us do the baking
now
Each can of Van Camps means meal always wait
ing A meal without labor, meal without heat.
But don't get the wrong beans. Don't let someone
argue, "Nfy beans are as good as Van Camps"
No other beans can compare with Van Camps, and
millions of people already know it. That's why we bake
more beans than any other concern in the world
You will know the difference when you try Van
Camps. We shall not need to remind you again.

A Business Builder.

Advertising is today the mightiest
factor In the business world. 1t is an
evolution Of modern Industrial compe-
tition. 1t is business builder, with
a potency that goes beyond human de-
sire. 1t is something more than a
drummer" knocking at the door Of
the misunderstanding more than
mere craftsmanship on paper. 1t is a
positive, creative force in business. 1t
booms the town. 1t builds factories,
skyscrapers and railroads. 1t makes
two blades Of grass grow in the bust
ness world where only one grew be-
fore. 1t multiplies human wants and
intensifes human desires. 1t furnishes
excuse to timorous and hesitating ones
for possessing the things which under
former conditions they could easily get
along without. The human mind is so
constructed that it is appreciably af-
fected by repetition, and, after ali, ad-
vertising is only repetition.

How the Inhabitants of Hope Cleaned
1t Up.
Hope, Ind, observed a cleanup day
short time ago, and an enterprising
poet was moved to write the following:
Let us. then. be up and doing,
Each one with bar of SOAP
Still achieving still pursuing
Make a spotless town of Hope.
And that's what they did The resi-
dents Of the place certainly made Hope
q spotless town, and there is a reward
Of So in gold for the smallest piece of
dirt to be found inside the corporate
limits.
The town board decided that June IL
should be, cleanup day. Notices were
posted, the town marshal went around
and notified everybody, the board of
health got busy, and when the sun
arose on Thursday morning brigades
of cleaners were at work. 1t became
the duty of every person to clean up
his own premises and to pile the gar
bage and trash in the street in front
Of his house. The town furnished
wagons to make the rounds and haul
the trash away. Other men were en-
ployed to clean the streets, and by
evening everything was spick and
span. Now the people OF Hope intend
to keep their town that way.

PICTURE LECTURE BooMs.
How Some Towns Advertise Their
Beauties to Other Towns.

How Some Towns Advertise Their
Beauties to Other Towns.
There are many methods of getting
the attractions and advantages of a
town before the outside public If the
townspeople only care enough about
the matter to do something active and
actual in that line. One of the most up
to date methods of town booming is to
have a good talker go from town to
town delivering a picture lecture"
about the place which is to be doomed.
The first thing, Of course, is to have
about fifty or sixty lantern slides made
from photographs of places of interest
In and around the town. The slides
may be colored or left In black and
white. Colored ones naturally add to
the beauty Of the scenes In cases where
coloring is indicated.
The lecturer, who should be person
ally acquainted with each building,
bridge, stream, park, landscape or per-
son represented. devotes a minutes
talk to each subject as the picture is
thrown on the screen. Half hundred
pictures will make an evenings enter
tainment Of an hour to an hour and
half, sure to be enjoyed by the people
Of the towns visited.
The outfit for picture lecture costs
so little that the expense Is scarcely to
be considered when a whole communi-
ty Is interested In the project.
There are towns In southern CalifOr-
MIA which maintain regular booming
Offices in Los Angeles, the metropolis
Of the district. At certain intervals pic
ture lectures are given, the dates being
advertised in the local press. The adj
mission is free. Thousands of tourists
from all parts Of the country are at
tracted to the hall where the show
takes place. Many Of these are attract
ed to the town which Is the subject Of
the show. Some of them buy lots,
start In business, build homes there,
The California idea can be applied
to any town elsewhere. Put your pic
ture lecture man in a suitable hall In
the nearest city of considerable size,
and 1t is reasonably certain that before
very long inquiries will begin to come
and people will begin to follow the in
quiries. This is a suggestion easy to
work out anywhere. IF nobody does
nothin', nothin' will be DONE"

BED OF VIPER SKINS.


Few of India's "Rikki Tiki Ia
vies" can have such record in snake
killing as that of Leon Case, known
as Pere la yipere, who kills vipers in
the forest of Fontainebleau. He
has just been taking a rest after an
arduous season, during which he has
killed nearly 700 snakes. His aver
age for year is about 800.
He sleeps on a mattress made of
viper skins, and it is said that he has
been bitten so many times that he
no longer suffers-he has become in
oculated.-London Standard.

STANDARD TIME IN PERU.

Peru is the first of the South
American republics to adopt a world
time standard. The seventy-ifth
meridian west of Greenwich has
been chosen. This, which is the ba-
sis of our eastern standard time,
runs through the middle of the re-
public only few minutes of longi-
tude east of Lima. Hereafter all
timepieces in Peru will coincide with
those in the eastern United States.
There are said to be few countries
more favorably situated geographic
cally than Peru for the use of a
standard time meridian.-Youth's

THE HEROINE OF THE KISS"
Famous Beauty Who Once Had Art
World at Her Feet Recently
Died Unmourned.

Carolus Doran made her famous.
She was the heroine of saThe Kiss"
popularized by the engraving. She
was called Anna Warrington. She
was, 40 years ago, the prettiest
daughter of England. She con-
quered all hearts, even that of Ma
poleon III. Believing herself to
have some talent for drawing and
painting she came to Paris when
quite young toward the end of the
second empire. All the Latin quar-
ter celebrated her charms. She was
the inspiration of Lelian. Freely
she posed for the young artists. Car
olus Duran admired her passion
ately.
Napoleon III, little before the
war of 1870, met the ravishing mod
ell and was enamored. When the en-
peror was at Chiselhurst in exile,
Anna Warrington, who had returned
to England before the siege, went to
see him and was his faithful friend
until his death.
She took up her pencils and pal
lette. She gave lessons and earned
some SO francs a week. She visited
Whistler, who had once dreamed of
her, but now was married. Years
made their ravages. She no longer
dared to look into a mirror.
Each year after 1873, the day fol-
lowing All Souls day she went to
deposit at the tomb of the emperor
little bouquet of violets.
She died a few weeks ago at Chel-
sea. Nobody followed her coffin. No
one laid flower upon her grave.
One yet sees ''The Kiss" every
where, but who knows who was the
heroine Prom LIE Cri de Paris.

Large Tracts of Land.

Large tracts of land on the high
mountains were denuded of soil down
to the rocks. Over much of the
area where the Pottsville Conglom-
crate is the surface formation, there
never was much mineral soil. Beds
of moss, lichen, leaves, and decaying
wood formed a covering for the
rocks which gave anchorage to the
roots of the forest trees. Over ex-
tensive tracts, soils of that kind
were absolutely destroyed"

forest FIRE LOSSES
IN WEST VIRGINIA
Every County in the State Had One
Or More Disastrous
Fires.

Fires.
''The unprecedented destruction
this season by forest fires in West
Virglia has called the attention of
the people: as never before, to the
necessity of better protection to
woods and watersheds" says HUI
Maxwell, chairman of the West Vir-
Iginia Conservation Commission.
The relationship between denuded
mountains and floods is better un-
|derstood than formerly and the prob
lem of future timber supply has
ceased to be a question for acade-
mic discussion.
One or More Fires.
'Every one of the 55 counties had
one or more fires, some being small
and spreading through a few wood
lots only; others covering more than
10000 acres. The areas burned ag-
gregated 100000 acres, approx
mately one-ffth of the wooded area
of the State. Timber burned amount
ed to more than 943,5OO,OOO feet,
board measure, about per cent Of
the entire estimated standing tim
Der. large and small, in the State, or
two-thirds of the output of ali the
saw-m:lls of West Virginia il i9O..
Money Losses Heavy.
money losses were heavy. The
value of timber burned was $2,903,-
500. There were losses in manu-
featured lumber, tanbark, building
and other improvements amounting
to $490,175. This year there was
an unusually heavy damage to un-
dergrowth and soil, and this has
been placed at one dollar an acre for
every acre burned, making a loss of
81, 703, $50 in the State. Those loss
es total up to 5000, 1926. The re-
ported expenditures by the State
and individuals for fire fighting form
an interesting contrast to the loss of
more than $5,000,000 The amount
which county treasures and COM
panies are reported to have spent
to suppress fires was only $646; in
dividuals and companies are report
ed to have spent about $4,000.
Injury to the Soil.
"The injury to the soil from fire
was much more severe this season
in West Virginia than ever before,
not alone because the burned area
was larger than in any former year,
but also for the reason that excess
sive dryness exposed the humus to a
greater depth. Ground fires have
been unusual heretofore in this State,
but this season they were common
and widespread. Two human lives
were lost in the fires.
Fought the Fire.
''rhe mountain people fought fires
in the past, when they fought at all,
by raking the leaves and sticks from
a fire lane two or three feet wide
and back firing. That method fail
ed this year. Fires crossed the lanes
by burning the humus beneath the
surface, and then started up on the
farther side. The fires burned so
deeply in the humus that an unusual
phenomenon was presented when a
snow fall came early in November.
The snow apparently extinguished the
fires, but it went away quickly un-
der the influence of a strong, dry
wind, and the fires came up and out
of the ground and were soon spread
ing again. | saw an interesting ex-
ample of this. In the morning the
snow in the woods was two inches
deep, and no fire was to be seen.
Before sunset the snow was gone and
the leaves were burning.
