The majority of city women have
dedicated the summer TO war relief
work. Others have given up the idea
of long vacation that they may have
more money Tor Liberty bonds. This
will doubtless mean that many will
take short camping trips. Other
will recreate at home. This can be
done most effectively and inexpen-
sively in these days of prepared foods.
In planning your commissary de-
partment for a camping trip You re
call that there Is never any waste in
camp. At first this seems strange,
for the wise mother when in camp or
summer cottage spends little time pre-
pairing the meals. She is Oh vaca-
ton and the important point is for
her to enjoy the wonderful out-of-
doors just as much as possible.
The facilities for keeping and cook
ing food are, as rule, quite primitive
These,c cooking handicaps coupled with
the raNenous appetites created by
health-giving outdoor exercise make
one wonder for a moment how to
manage.
For the housewife to do her own
work and yet get 100 per cent vacation
is the problem. This can be done by
planning ahead and buying the right
things to take on the trip. II Is nee
essary to tabu all finicky tastes for
this period. The mother who caters
TO whims an1tastes all year VIII have
nature to help her overcome this non
sense of pampered tastes during the
outing season. Then the wise mana
ger will continue the corrective course
after return to the city. 1t VIII be
worth the tip just to cure the chronic
fussy, eater of the average family.
Camp Near Clear Water.
TIL ideal camping spot is on high.
dry land. not too shaded, and near a
clear spring. Take particular care
about the water. If you intend to
use water from a spring be sure that
It is protected from cattle tramping.
Many clear, cool little brooks look
perfectly clean, but before allowing
any of the family to drink therefrom
investigate the source to see that ami
mails do not drink there also. 1t Is
safest to make arrangements to carry
drinking water from nearby FARM
house. If this is impractical, boil the
water for drinking and use some of
the delicious fruit juices now on the
market. Small bottles of grape juice
cooled in the spring make refresh
ing and nourishing beverage for an
outing. Boullion made before
tramp and left to cool in the swift
deep brook will serve as a refreshing
drink and served with a thin sands
wich of the ever-ready dry sausage
will stay" the most ravenous appe-
tite until the meal is on the table.
No camp is worthy the name with
out a choice side of bacon hanging
high and dry. The drippings may be
kept in a Mason jar in the improvised
refrigerator in the spring. Butter or
oleomargarine, If kept in the carton
and slipped into a jar will keep firm
for days. 1t Is wisest to purchase the
brand OF hgh-grade creamery butter
that has the four quarter-pound
pieces wrapped separately and con,
tanned in the one-pOund carton.
Milk for such trip can well be
carried. The very best brand of
evaporated milk will answer every
call for this highly nutritious food
The cans may be left in the pantry
with other staples until just before
opening, then chill thoroly and open
as usual-that is, making two small
perforations in the top. The evapo,
rated milk keeps longest when kept in
the can. Keep the can in a cool place
as you would fresh cream.
Sour Condensed MIX.
Experiments show that Mt least one
brand of evaporated milk can be used
with great success even when soured
II the brand you use clabbers when IL
sours and tastes simply like sour
milk not an "off'' flavor, you can use
II for mullins and pancakes as you
