The fore-handed housewife who has
learned the Joy and protection Of an
Emergency shelf in her pantry, lie the
sort of housewife who will be glad
TO add the picnic shelf" to her con-
veniences.
Every we'll conducted family has or
should have the picnic habit-'n such
aggravated form that the fever TO- a
picnic Is liable to break out only an
hour or two before the happy event IT.
self-too late for preparations unless
the luncheon material is on hand and
easily assembled.
Therefore the picnic shelf. It should
ba kept stocked all the time replen-
ished after each using, and kept sa-
cred to It's particular purpose.
The ricnic itself should contain;
Two or more cans each of salmon,
tuna FISH, sardines, potted ham, chick

Also there Is little list of picnic me-
cesslties kept on the shelf TO be

For picnics where salad is to be
served put each individual paper lily
cup, lined with waxed paper. Cover
the tops of the cups with oiled paper
and set them upright. When the lunch
Is unpacked the salads may be slipped
out OF the cups on to the plates and
the clean cups will be ready for the

Prepare the lemonade at home and
carry in a screw-too fruit jar. ready to
mix at the picnic. Allow the juice of
12 lemon and / tablespoonful of SUI
gar for each glassful of ade to be
made.
A good way to carry cake to pic

The field secretaries school, which

men and women. There were three
men from Vermont, viz, Mr.. Gordon,
Joel ]. Lamere of Ludlow and

impossible. l am sending you cards
and / have my camera along, the
views from which will follow later.
The rest must wait till come home.
We left the train at 500 and had
the whole party got into waiting auto
mobiles and was whisked away to the
docks, where, as we passed along, a
bunch of the 32nd division, Michigan
and Wisconsin troops aboard.
From the docks we followed the
shore road for time then turned in
land and at length found ourselves at
Camp Pontanezan, which is the Brest
camp which you have read SO much
about Camp Pontanazan in the past,
it is Without doubt one of the best
camps in the A. e. f. now. Also it is
the largest camp in the world. Its
average population is about 10000
men of which $4,000 comprise the OPP
Grating and construction personnel
and $4,000 are the transient troops
which come here to wait embarkation.
The camp has 450 barracks, each hold
ing 10 men, and 5000 foored tents,
Is feet square, which cover acres
upon acres. Each soldier is provided
with bed, mattress and five blankets
and all tents and barracks are heated.
There are II great kitchens with their
accompanying mess halls, each of
which can feed 5000 men in an hour,
and on one occasion $500 men were
fed from one kitchen. The Y. M. c..
A. maintain big entertainment hut
seating 5000 and the Red Cross has
four huta and other activities one
hut each. Six recreation centers are
provided.
The criticism that was directed at
the camp undoubtedly has had the
effect of making it better place than
it would otherwise have been, and l
doubt that the conditions merited all
the abuse that was heaped upon those
in control. If ever a man impresses
one as being a man who has the in
terests of every soldier at heart, such
is Brig. Gen. Butler, who is in charge
of the camp. Conditions are undoub=
teddy bad when the difficulties were
the greatest. Brest is in section
which receives rain 800 days of the
year. Naturally there was mud, too.
With the sudden cessation of hostilit-
les the camp yas called upon to hand
lie thousands of returning troops. En-
gineers labored day and night to pros
vide accommodations. Above all, the
effort was to get the troops back, and
I'll venture to wager that most of the
boys that went through, had they
been given their choice of passing
the camp as it was or wait
ing till barracks were built before
going home, would have chosen the
former course. Happily now, how
ever, it is model place, and there is
no room for further critic
ism.
Returning from the camp we stop
ped at the "bathing plant virtual
factory for bathing, inspecting and re-
equipping the men before they go on
board the boat. Here in this great
building it is possible to put 120 men
the required routine every
four minutes.
