' Diabetes and finally Bright's disease This is the downward course of kid ney ills. Don't take this course. James Grimes, 1728 Third avenue, Moline, 111., says "I suffered from kid ney disease and Its kindred ailments for years. The most severe Symplons were pains across my loins and con tinual backache. I could not stoop or lift, anything without enduring slurp shooting pains through my pack and shoulders. The secretions of the kid neys were very irregular, causing me much annoyance, particularly at night when I would have to get up many times. I tried many remedies but was unable to get any relief until I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills. I Immediately procured a box and after taking them in accordance with the directions, the pains began to leave me, the secre tions became regular, and In a very short timte I was completely cured.1 I can conscientiously say that I owe roy present good health to Doan's Kidney Pills, and am glad to recommend them to anyone suffering from any form ot kidney disease." v . , ' - Plenty more; proof ; like this from Rock Island people.

We are experts on beans, and we have the facilities Ours is the accumulated knowledge of 47 years applied to baked beans and tomato sauce. No wonder we know. We bake in live steam. That is why our beans are all baked alike without bursting. They are nutty, yet mealy. And we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork -all together, and secure a delicious blend. .Van Camp's pork and beans baked with tomato sauce Then we get better beans than you get. And we pay , seven times what some beans cost to get them.. We us'e enly the whitest, the plumpest, the fulfest-grown. Our sauce is made from vine-ripened tomatoes. It costs us just five times what some sauce is sold for. But to that sauce is due Van Camp's superlative zest. You eat beans once a week how, maybe. You'll eat them daily when you know You will eat them because of their food value. Because they are appetizing delicious. -What else do you know that compares with them?
