FOR INTENDING CAMPERS

An old journal compiled by man
who has started for the fishing camp
as regularly as the trout has risen to
the fly for the last generation and
more contains a Jumble of information
jotted down in dull and blunt hard
and soft, lead pencils, stylographic and
fountain pens haphazard, hit-and-miss
style. Here are some of the bits of
information deciphered from the faded
pages:
An infallible compass IL the sun
shines is your own watch placed on the
ground face upward with the hour
hand pointing directly at the sun. Half
way between this hand and the figure
II is south.
Thirst may be relieved with a dry
pebble or button in the mouth when
water is not to be obtained. A pencil
line is drawn under "It is a sure re-
lief"
A strip of seaweed makes as reliable
a barometer as the average mechanical
or human weather prophet. In fine,
dry weather the weed remains dry and
dusty. If there is rain in the air it
becomes damp and sticky. If your
dog shifts the air frequently, change
in the weather is sure to be at hand
An unsavory but reliable relief for
black fly or mosquito bites is the cut
side of a raw onion. Common mud
soothes such bite or a sting Crushed
pennyroyaI will keep insects at dis
tance.
If the weather calls for more blan-
kets than the camp can furnish fasten
layers of newspapers between those on
hand.
To cool the drinking water wrap wet
cloths around the jug or pail and hang
it in the open air.
"Slapjacks, buttered, spread with
slices of fried bacon and put together,
two and two, stick to the ribs on
long tramp" This is taken verbatim.
Salt pork soaked until the salt is out,
then rolled in meal or flour and fried
in hot fat, makes as tasty a dish in
camp, with boiled potatoes as the best
cafe chef could invent.

The Fruit i'm Dainty Forms

chopped pineapple in cone shape on
each round of bread. Canned, fresh
or stewed pineapples may be used.
Dilute the juice strained from the fruit
with a little water and sweeten to
taste. Add a teaspoonful of arrow
root moistened with cold water to a
cupful of pineapple liquor. Boil it un-
til thickened, then with a spoon pour
it slowly over the cones. Serve hot
or cold.
Pineapple as a First Course for
Luncheon-Cut small pneapples in
two, cut the ends so the pineapples
stand upright. Cut out the centers
and tear the pulp into pieces, then re-
turn it to the cups formed of the skins
Sweeten with powdered sugar, add a
teaspoonful of sherry, if desired, to
each portion; let them stand a little
while to extract the juice. AT the mo-
ment of serving add teaspoonful of
cracked ice to each cup. Serve as
first course at luncheon or before the
game at dinner. A variety called
strawberry pines are best suited for
this dish. They are sometimes so small
that a whole one may be used for one
portion.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-06

Pineapple Pudding-Grate a pine
apple fine. Mix we'll together cup
of sugar and four eggs then mix them
with the pineapple pulp. Turn the
mixture into mold and set the mold
into a pan of water and bake it slowly
until stiffened like baked custard.
When cold unmold it and decorate
with whipped cream.
Pineapple Cake-Yolks and whites
of three eggs well beaten together: one
and one-half cupfuls Of powdered
sugar; one-half cupful of cold water,
two cupfuls Of flour, one-half tea
spoonful of soda to one teaspoonful Of
cream of tartar; make in layers and
between and on top spread one grated
pineapple with the juice of one lemon
sweetened to taste. With this mix
the beaten whites of three eggs, one
cupful of powdered sugar and one tea
spoonful of vanilla.
Another Pineapple Filling-Cut pine
apples into thin slices or pick 1t up
into pieces, prepare cream by thor
oughly sweetening and whipping Put
a layer of fruit between the layers of
cake and pour the cream over each
layer and over the top.

CLEAN BABY SHOES

Soft white leather shoes can be
cleaned in gasoline, and when not too
badly soIled they clean nicely with al
most any white powder. Pique or linen
shoes should be washed, but often if
merely dusty they can be cleaned with
white chalk or -four. The regular
white shoe polish is made. with whit
ing and water, made medium thick
and applied with a cloth. Rub the
shoes free from dry powder after they
have dried. Chamois bootees clean
incest in rather strong ammonia
water T.-y should be washed in a
suds with ammonia in it and rinsed
in ammonia water and wiped dry with
towel. DO not dry chamois near ar
tihcial heat

she will shut out interests that may
mean help, inspiration, happiness.
Every life is little world. And you
DO not know what message may come
to you from the stranger you welcome
to your gates.
One grows or stagnates. Stagnation
is not good for any one. TO be in
touch with the progress of the world
one must keep in touch with the life
that makes it progress, and every man
and woman play some part in this
One may not make a friend of the
casual acquaintance. One may not
have time for all who cross ones path.
But to deliberately shut out every one
Is unwise.
If there is the least inclination to do
this, the tendency is apt to grow on
one until it becomes a fixed habit. 1t
may come in the beginning from iner-
tia from morbidness. Whatever the
cause, if you find you are facing in
that direction, pause a while and see
If you want the narrow. isolated, few
interests life to which 1t will surely
lead you.
The fuller the life with human kindly
interests the happier. Few have such
resources within themselves that all
the riches of this wonderful life is
theirs in their own experience.

NANNING Pineapples-With n sill
yer knife pare the pineapples and
~ carefully remove the eyes Then

Preserving Pineapples Prepare the
same as for canning. To each pound al
low three-quarters of pound of sugar.
Sprinkle the sugar over the pineapple

IL gradually one pint of clear, cold
water; add to this the sugar stand IT
over the fire and boil and skim until

a GOOD SALAD

Here is a salad recipe which is ex-
cellent to use when fresh vegetables
are not at hand.
Boil three or four small turnips and
four carrots separately until very ten
der, and let them stand until cold. Chop
a small bunch of celery very fine, add
ing a few of the small yellow leaves.
Cut the cold turnips into thin slices
and the carrots into fine strips. Cut
ting them in this manner adds to the
attractiveness of the salad when fin
ished. Mix the vegetables with the
celery, using either a dressing of oil
and vinegar or a good mayonnaise or
boiled dressing. This makes a good
luncheon dish when served with dainty
bread and butter sandwiches.
If celery is not in the market, or is
very expensive, a little white cabbage
shredded fine may be used in it's place,
and a little celery salt or celery vine-
gar added to the dressing.

learning that the new editor of the

on fish, clubbed their money together
and sent to Atlantic City after small
live whale. He came in two tank cars
and was secretly released one night in

when Editor Pierce dropped line in
to the pellncid deeps, he got a bite
that gave him jerk like an old auto
mobile trying to start.
STEADY, James," said the new ed
itor between his clenched teeth, "I've
either roped submarine rheinoceros
or the pickeral here are bigger than l
thought for"
Mr.. Pierce gave the creature line to
tire it ont then wound up the reel on
him, bringing to the surface a two
ton whale.
"It was big one," said Mr.. Pierce
in telling about the incident at the
postoffice that night, "but you should
have seen the one 1 hooked first that
bit the line and got away"

the yards here Monday evening about
seven o'clock. Part of the trains
load was lot of telephone poles, pines
foot or more in diameter at the base,
and some sixty feet long. They were
loaded on two fat cars, one being too

the Northern Pacific crossing these
poles got loose and began to fall off.
They were strewn along the right of
way to point some three hundred
feet south of the Third street cross
ing. AS the poles fell off they tore up
things more or less, putting the auto
matte switches out of commission,
tearing up the ground and finally de-
railing box car loaded with lumber
and wrecking one of the fat cars on
