quantity of belongings along.

The Camp
1t is assumed that you have selected
a level place, free from stones and
roots for your camp site. Wife and
the girls probably will prefer to sleep
inside the tent, you and Tom may
prefer it out under the stars-if the
mosquitoes are not too bad. While you
and Tom are pitching the tent and
getting things into order set the girls
to breaking off (not cutting) pine or
redwood boughs. You may have noticed
that in the foregoing table of equip
ment nothing is said of folding cots or
any other kind That is because nature
has a better and more luxurious bed in
store for you. Select a bumpless bed

thick as you please. Over this throw

and having your neighbors stroll in
daily to see how you are bearing UP
under the vicissitudes of camp life
The other is the real thing. We will

about TO indulge in the real style of
camping out. where you are largely
dependent upon your own exertions and
your own knowledge of woodcraft.
The Outfit
For personal use each will want the
following:
Fifteen inch waterproof canvas bag
for packing blankets and personal be-
longings. Suitcases and trunks are
bulky Manageable and entirely un-

are a partial substitute. Nut foods.
of which there are any quantity now
on the market, are prOteids.
Salted and corned meats. for extend
ed use have not much food value. The
chemical process which preserves them
also renders them hard to digest.
Canned meat is a delusiOn- Its proper
sphere is picnics and sailing parties
Canned vegetables are better and make
a welcome change. but are heavy to
carry in proportion to the food value

prunes are easily carried and take the
place of canned fruits very we'll If
you have room. a sack of potatoes and

will never be regretted. And take
along a can of cayenne pepper. Whisky
may be good for snake bites and cer-
tain other things. but for a person in
a chill a little cayenne pepper in water
can give the frewater cards and
spades.

Some Culinary Hints
To bake beans out of doors let them
first soak all day in cold water. Then
put them in an iron pot until they
show some signs Of softening. Enter
now the beanpot Transfer the beans
to this and add level teaspoonful of
salt, teacupful of molasses and half
a cupful of boiling water to each quart
of dry beans used. Now score the rini

tightly and bury the whole apparatus
in the hot Goals of the fire. Then go to
bed. A sound nights sleep in the

city, anyway?

While roasting. broiling and frying
are processes to which the cook often
resorts, the favorite method of pre-
pairing food in camp is to subject it TO
the direct heat of the ashes and embers-
This is necessarily a slow operation,
but it's popularity attests its worth.
Thus. soups, stews and chOwders are
much more delicious when cooked
slowly; rice, hOminy, oatmeal and other
cereals require gradual heating to
bring out the best that is in them.
while even those Viands which may be
cooked more rapidly if necessary lose
none of their good qualities by being
subjected to the more Iefsurely process.

ADA.

No matter what may be the opinion
OF Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter if
he may be looked upon by some as
car, and by others as a big warm
hearted man, with many of the in
stincts that make humanity very bear
able, all will admit that he is a man
who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have to say therefore
on any subject, will have weight. OBJ
servant, he speaks his mind freely.
He was interviewed the other day by
the correspondent of Canadian
newspaper. He spoke of his admiration
for Canada, and he is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly well the personai
OF the man. The correspondent says
he launched out into personal BIZ
ography, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal comment, cynical scorn, broad pro-
family and sentimental poetry such as
one rarely hears in the space of an
hour. He discussed the Canadian ta-
riff, and then said: People say I
break the Ten Commandments, all of
them. But don't, at least not often.
1 did break one of them up in Canada
two or three years ago. AS I rode
from Winnipeg to the Rockies over
