preciate our blessings, while the nov
city for the time being of going with
out and using our own ingenuity, is q
source Of pleasure.
The camp cook who can produce a
good meal with the background of a
hunk of bacon, frying pan and a
sack of meal, is worth further ac-
quaintance. He builds his fire, maxi
ing a stove of stones, on which he
places his frying pan; then with little
salt pork or bacon soon sizzling in it
he lays in his freshly caught fish all
rolled in seasoned meal, and q crisp,
delicious bit satisfies the appetite Of
a hungry camper.
Fish, fresh from the running brook,
broiled before a fire while held by two
sticks, will give the uninitiated the
taste of savory dish which civiliza-
ton never can produce.
The delicious mushrooms growing
in such abundance in the woods and
fields will make full meal when well

knowledge to distinguish the good from
the poisonous varieties. There is an
endless variety of good foods which
may be prepared in the woods.
A fowl or wild game of any kind,
dressed and covered with a paste of
barley flour and water to keep in the
juices and fiavors, may be buried in
hot ashes and roasted to toothsome de-
liciousness. Remove the paste, and
any ashes clinging to it will come off
with it. The seasoning, of course, must
all be done before it goes into the
ashes.
If one is not able to go for an out
ing, unhampered with weight and
ready to enjoy even the discomforts of
simple foods prepared in the open, he
would better stay at home, for such are
not agreeable companions The broad
est, most helpful people are they who
never lose the childlike enjoyment of
simple pleasures.

be all the children will care for. The
Older members of the family will prob
ably like mullins or griddle cakes with
cupful of coffee. Most delicious,
fluffy corn flour cakes can be made
by using one beaten egg, half-tea-
spoonful of salt, a cupful Of sour milk !;
the richer the better, and half-tea-
spoonful of soda stir in enough corn
flour to make it of the consistency
liked for cakes. The thinner they will
cook and turn well the more delicate
is the texture Of the cake. Serve
these with maple sirup or corn sirup
and the family will ask for them again
and again.
Fried cornmeal mush is another
good and substantial breakfast dish
(which will stay by" until another
meal. Bits of meat, chopped dried
fruit like dates and figs or nuts, are
all good to add to it and increase the
food value of the dish.
Vegetables, because of their bulk,
are most necessary and should form
large part of the food of the entire
family after it is out Of the milk stage.
Vegetables are rich in mineral salts
and vegetable acids as well as the
wonderful and little known, growth
determinants. Gan onion day keeps
the doctor away" If the women who
are an ounce overweight would cut
out one meal day or eat very lightly
at luncheon and not gormandize at
dinner, they would feel better, be hap
pier and able to accomplish more
work and at the same time be doing
something to help win the war by con-
serving food. Children should not be
stinted, as they need food for growth
but the average man or woman might
easily cut down the food from one
quarter to half and gain in physical
as well as mental power by SO doing.
1t is not we'll to serve cornmeal at
noon or night if it has been served in
any form at breakfast, unless the fam
lily is especially fond of it.
