Here are some camping hints:
Have everything neat and clean about
camp.
Keep toilet articles out OF sight.
Be careful not to waste in cooking and
do not throw things away because there
happens to be plenty.
Have a hole dug for refuse.
A good cellar may be made by sinking
a barrel In the side Of a hill and covering
the head Of the barrel with mosquito net
ting.
Three clothes lines will be needed: cae
for dish towels. one for general washing
and one for personal effects.
II long excursions are made, take your
compass along. and II you get lost in the
woods. don't get excited. Remember that
the longest boughs OF a tree are usually
on the south side. thai the topmost twig
Of an uninjured hemIock tips TO the east,
and that the moss on the tree trunks is
usually on the north side.
Take fishing tackle, and II you succeed
in landing q trout, know what It is to en-
Joy a banquet At for the gods. by rolling It
over Goals. and feel how independent you
could be II It were not for civilization.
Get up In the morning and see a sun
rise that is not accompanied by the rumble
Of milk carts and a headache.
The great beauty OF camping as a means
Of recreation is its cheapness. The cheaper
you live the more fun you will have.
Don't stay too long the hrst time you
camp out. Begin with a homeopathic al
Iowance, say ten days; mex year you will
want to stay longer under the greenwood
tree; finally the whole summer devoted to
camping will be none too long a time.
The enthusiastic Bohemian divides the
year in two parts. Before January l she
talks Of last years camp; after that date
Of the new camp for the coming summer
So that no less in the anticipation than in
the actual camp life does the genuine
camper enjoy life.
Try to ave a happy camp and do lot
shirk your share of the work. Above all
else. avoid selhshness. Be pleasant and
do not become annoyed at trifes.
Remebber that II is rest and recuDera-
ton that is sought. and when you ara rest
ing rest. Make a business OF 1t.
Throw away all care and worry, either
OF home or OF camp life. Have intertnft-
tent attacks Of doing nothing saying moth
Ing thinking nothing. Be nothing. RE-
