WHAT A MAN LIKES .
'This is what a man likes: a blue sky

A friend to share the glory and a

—)Edgar Guest.
So many .people are thinking of
3zolidaying at this time of year and,
owing to economic reasons, sou g
are feeling that they cannot afford
to take the usual holiday if it im-
plies the outlay of money. It is well
that a people are thrifty enough to i
realize this; it would be very foolish
• to spend money on .a holiday which b
ought to be saved to supply winter t
coal or to tide over a sleek spell lat-
er on. And yet, if there are Children
in. the family a little change, an p
'outing of some sort is almost imper-
il
ti
ave, The young folic look forward e
to it so much and they look back up -o
on it with such pleasurable memor-
ies, Long ,years afterwards, when the t
Children are grown and have taken m
their own places in the world, people
will remember happy dhildish holi- t
days. It is a great thing to give
children a happy childhood. It gives
them such a fund of pleasant memor-
ies which will add to the happiness
of mature years in a way that seems
out of all proportion. Parents who
make their children happy, even
though they cannot give them much
of this world's goods, give them vain -
'Ole equipment for life.
If an extensive and an expensive
holiday minuet be enjoyed this sum-
mer, perhaps a few weeks camping
could he managed. A camp near the
water, simple meals and a free and
easy time away Froin the routine of
life will give.a healthful and happy
holiday. Let each child assist in the
'work which 'has to be done, too. It
will add to their enjoyment.
Believing that a number of folk to
will try this sort'uf a holiday t] s
summer I am giving below a number
of camp cooking receipts from the
"Camp Craft and Woodlore" a book-
let publishedby the Canadian Na-
tional Railways. Just being in the
open and helping to prepare these
meals s would constitute a holiday for
most healthy persons. I can almost
smell the clean, woodsy smell of a
wood fire and the savory fish cooked
over it, can't you? But .when You
are camping be very, very careful
about fires. Each child should be
trained to see that the fire is com-
pletely extinguished before being
left; that is one of the first rules
of woodcraft and boys, especially,
can be taught to look after this as
part of their work. I'm sure these
fish could not •taste anything but
good:
Fish Boiled: Clean and cut off
head, tail and fins. Either whole
fish or pieces of 2 or 3 pounds
weight may he used, pinned up
cloth. A small piece of pork may be
placed inside the eloth with the fish.
Cover with well -salted water and boil
slowly until done.
Broiled: Clean and open down the
back. Heads, tails and fins of small
trout need not be removed. Place in
broiler with a slice of pork or bacon
across eaeh half, Fish should mai
be broiled too long as this causes it
to dry up and lose its flavor.
Skewered: Skewer a half dozen
small fish and as many pieces of ba-
con or pork, alternately, sandwich
fashion, upon a stick, and roast.
Roasted: Clean a small fish, thrust
a piece of bacon or pork into the belly
cavity, salt on the outside and: impale
on a forked stick by which it is
turned often while roasting in front
of the coals. In the case of trout
and other delecate fish it is better to
roast without bacon or pork so tha'
he original flavor may be preserved
When pork or
bacon i not s o used it
s well to salt fish both inside and out.
Larger fish. may be split down the
ack and -roasted on triple -pronged
°asters cut from shrubs.
Fried: Sever backbone' in several
laces to prevent curling up in the
an, roll lightly in cornmeal or bread
iambs and fry with sliced bacon
r pork. If fish are very small they
play be fried crisp and in this case
he heads of small trout are not re-
eved.
!Baking in Clay: Clay suitable for
his purpose is not always available.
It is of a blue -grayish color and when
wet is easily worked into different
shapes. The fish need not be clean-
ed, but covered completely with clay
and buried in the hot coals. If about
a pound in weight it should remain in
the fire for about three-quarters of
an hour. When it is removed the
clay is broken and the scales and
fins are left adhering to the clay.
The entrails will be but a hard mass
and will readily drop out when the
fish is opened.
Roast Potatoes: Scoop out a hole
among the ashes at the edge of the
fire, fill it with coals and keep it
hot for half an hour. Then clean out
the coals, put in potatoes that have
been well cleaned,cover them over
with hot as'hes with a brisk fire on
p. In• 40 minutes' time try stick-
( ing a sliver into them, if it goes in
easily the potatoes.are..cooked.
Beans:No dish

menu can beat A

boil slowly. Let thein simmer on the,
dinner fire for two hours. When you
have cleared up after dinner, go dig

potatoes baked 46 minutes, boiled
20 minutes,' sweet potatoes boiled 45
minutes, baked 1 hour, shell bean
boiled 1 hour, green peas boiled 20 to

toes canned 30 minutes, cabbage 20

dandelions 2 to 3 hours, beet greens
1 hour, onions 1 to 2 hours, beets 1
to 5 hours, turnips white 45 minutes
to 1 hour, turnips yellow 1 ah hours .to
2 hours, parsnips 1 to 2 hours, car-
rots 1 to 2 hours.
•
(I think this much too 'long,
to cook corn, ten to fifteen minutes
in boiling water in plenty; Indeed,
most of these vegetables cook in
muoh less time. I would trust a male
camper to cook a fish and make a
good job of it, but those tender
young vegetables may 'suffer at his
hands.)
In high altitudes water boils at low
temperature Do not depend on slow -
boiling foods on mountain trips un-
less snaking long stay in one place,.
'Cooking Utensils: Those that are
absolutely necessary are frying pan,
coffee pot, tin cup, knife, fork and
spoon. These articles are sufficient,
but if weight is not an obstacle the
above might be supplemented by any
other article that the camper may
think necessary.
•
The Cook Fire: To build a ramp
fire over which cooking can be.
.o c
consplished, select two medium thick
green logs and level off the top with
the camp axe. Set and brace these
logs a few inches apart, ,so they will
form a support on which the bottom
of the cooking utensils will rest saf-
ely. Scrape a little trench under-
neath and with a few logs more form
the windguard or radiator at one
side. The two logs which are to
form the sides of the cooking "range"
should be arranged so they are about
six inches apart at one end and one
to two feet apart at the other end, at
which the baker may be placed, fac-
ing the glowing coals. The common
error of amateur campers is to build
too big a fire; experienced cooks take
out the unburnt wood before starting
cooking, the novice puts on more and
suffers from smoke accordingly for
his ignorance. When leaving the cams-
always be sure the fire is out. This
is most important; it is also the law.
Green wood is generally used for a
camp fire that is intended for all-
night service.

Tonight is the family re -union. It has been a
weekly event ever since the young folk scattered
to various towns, each to make his -or her own
way in the world.
It started when Dick left t s work in a neighbor-
ing city. Dick was full of enthusiasm; but apt
to be just a little bit .wild. So Dad started the
habit of calling him once a week just to keep
him under the parental influence,
•he%ielen Was harried and moved away, and
mother must needs make weekly voice visits
with her.
And now Betty has taken a position in another
town. Her voice comes home each week too.
Dad and mother gather all the news and pass it
on to the others. It keeps the family together
-- and the cost of the three evening `calls is less
than a dollar.

Little. -Stories of Success
Nothing is more inspiring to
young and old alike than a to read ad of
the successful eareer of •somebody
who made good in this little old
world of ours. I have ktlown sten of
ninety who remodelled their whole
careers after reading of the ten -

bage -remover upon the No Man's
Land of the battle ground of life,
Such is the force of example. It -is
most inspiring, as I will remark a
second time, to snake sure you get
the idea.
Take the case of John Smith, a
name to conjure with in the annals of
big business, and yet not unknown tr
failure. The John Smith of whom I
write was a heck of a poor business
man, who, through discouragement
had committed suicide several tines,
But something within hien seemed to
tell him to keep on trying and .per-
haps he would win out, if he didn't
happen to lose• So he kept on trying.
which is the point I wish to make in
`this inspirational little anecdote.
This John Smith, •of whom I write,
happened to notice that the door of
his bedroom in a country hotel
squeaked when he opened it. It also
squeaked when he closed it. He
wondered if all doors of country ho-
tel bedrooms squeaked, and after
making a special trip of examination
lasting over two years, he concluded
that they did. So lie hurriedly form-
ed a company (before anyone else
might think to do so) and contracted
to oil all the gounti'y hotel bedrvont
doors that squeaked when you opened
them, Or when you closed theni,
After he had bought the oil and
the ail -cans, and had 'hired all the
oilers and oiled all the doors, they
didn't squeals any more, and there
was no more business for his com-
pany. Thus it went broke and John
Smith committed suicide again. But
something seemed to tell him to keep
on trying and perhaps he would win
out, if he didn't happen .to lose.' So
lie'kept on trying, which is the point
I wish to make in this inspirational
little anecdote.

Fall Fertilizers
for
Strawberries
The proper fertilization of a
str•awbcrry,plantation may require
fall applications of a commercial
fertilizer. In September the straw-
berry plants are forming their fruit
buds for next year's crop and during
this period they require good nut-
tritianal conditions to make their
best effort. On land which is well
supplied with fertility, particularly
nitrogen, it is quite possible that
further applications of fertilizer are
not necessary, but very frequently a
light application of a goad fertilizer
in late August wild result in a big
increase in next year's crop. An ap-
plication of 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda to the acre, trade in lat'e,Aug-
ust, will assist most plantations in
fruit bud formation. The nitrate
should be broadcast on the plants
during a perfectly dry day and im-
ziiediately after the plants should be
brushed by dragging ,a piece of can-
vas or a broom over thein to dislodge
any nitrate which may have adhered
to the leaves. In this way little, i

GRANT 'FLEMING,: M.D. .-. ASSOCIATE SECRETARY
SUMMEit CARE OF THE BABY
During the summer, there is more
illness among babies than there is at
other season of the year, For this
reason, we wish to bring to the at-
tention of parents certain points
which should receive particular at.
tention in order that the occurrence
of stunner illness among babies
may be diminished,
BREAST-FEEDING. —Every baby
should be ,breast-fed by his mother,
Breast milk is the best milk; it is
fresh; it is free from germs. Con-
sequently, its use means less sick-
ness among babies Babies should
not be weaned excepting when her
doctor -tells the mother she should
do so
SATE MILK --If the baby is not
freast-fed, he must have safe milk.
This applies also to breast-fed babies
after they have been weaned. Pas-
teurized milk is safe milk. Either
pasteurized inillc should be purchas-
ed, or the milk should be pasteurized
in the hone. If for some reason it is
not possible to have pasteurized milk
the. milk should be boiled for three
minutes. Do not give the child raw
milk. Mille must 'be kept cold and
covered. It must not be left standin;e
even for a short time in the warm
room, or left without a cover There
is only one way to keep milk and
that is on ice.
BATHING --A bath once a day is
needed. 'In hot weather, an extra
sponge -off makes the baby mole
comfortable.
W'ATE'R—The baby should always
be offered water between feedings.
Like everyone eles he is more thirsty
g, se will want letter.

ruin • howea
t ther
more water, offer it to hint. Ile
I cannot ask for it.
FRESH AIR --The baby should
practically live out of doors,
SUNiI,,IGHT—A sunbath should be
given every day, beginning with
short exposures of the feet, only,
gradually working up to the exposure
of the whole body for one hour, In
really hot weather, the baby ehould
be kept out of the sun during the
heat of the day; the sun -bath may he
given before eleven or after three
o'clock.
tCLOTILTNG--The baby should be
dressed according to the weather.
Many ',babies are miserable because
they are over -clothed and so are
trade hot and uncomfortable. On
very warm days, all the clothing the
baby needs is the diaper.
FLIES AND INSECTS --- They
spread disease and should be kept
away frons the baby and his food,
This can be done by the use of
screens and netting,
Particularly would we warn par-
ents about digestive upsets and ir-
regularity of the bowels. These
should be considered as serious con-
ditions in the baby. Promptly and
properly treated at the start, they
respond to treatment, but Choy be-
come very serious if they are allowed
to go on.
The large mirgber of deaths that
stili occur front summer diarrhoea is
due to delay in securing proper treat-
ment.wlien the diarrhoea begins,
