the can plant, have pulled stakes in
Duvenport and returned to Chicago,
the can plant having been completed
and now being ready for the belting.
Used Sheets as Rope. One of the
boldest burglars that has. visited this
vicinity in some time was at the home
of Hugh Barr, 1127 Perry street, pre
sumably all Tuesday night, and yes
terday morning in broad daylight be
tween 9.30 and 10 o'clock descended
from a second story window to the
ground on two sheets which were
knotted together and tied to the leg
of a bed in the bedroom. When the
man got into the house is a mystery,
and from the condition of the clothes
on a spare bed it would seem that he
spent the night in the house. The
maid's gold watch and $1 in silver
constituted the plunder which was
missed from the house.

Wit'iout Use of Injurious' Drugs,
Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets of
their discoveries. Practically ihe same
thin happened in the medic-il world
in the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dii'iiis,
the eminent skin specialist of Chicago,
Dr. Dennis, in his own office prac
tice, discovered that pure vegetable'
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
a sure specific for ezcema, psoriasis
barber's itch, salt rheum and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
wintergreen alone was found ineffec

nominate a candidate for alderman to

Talk Sewer Outlet. The city coun
cil of East Moline and the villaee
boards of Silvis and Watertown met
in joint session Tuesday eveuine in
East Moline to consider ways and
means to establish sewage systems. It
was decided tnat the Silvis board,
with whom the action originated
should reduce to writing its desires in
the matter and submit-them to the
East Moline council and the Water-
town town board. Each would then
consider the proposition separately
and communicate its answer to the
Silvis board. The question of a sew
age system has been precipitated by
the decision of Silvis not to employ a
septic tank. If 'Silvis is to drain its
sewage into the Mississippi, it mns'
either join with East Moline and Wa
tertown to form a union sanitary
drainage district or secure a right of
way for an outlet from East Moline
and Watertown. Watertown is not at
this time prepared to enter a union
district, but would like to have what
ever arrangement is made left open in
order that it may join when an in

Home-baked beans are heavy food. They are hard to
digest, also hard to prepare. That's why you serve them
only occasionally. -
Yet beans are Nature's choicest food 84 per cent nutri

But beans, to be digestible, must be factory cooked.
It requires a terrific heat to separate the particles for the ;
digestive juices. You cannot apply it.
Your beans are mushy; ours mealy.

That's because we bake in live steam not in dry heat.
And the baking is done in the cans. The result is that nutty
flavor which distinguishes Van Camp's.
Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork
