A wonderful factor in automobile
.damping is that -nobody needs to bo
left out of this great outdoor. sport.
.A,imost everybody can afford to go
011 tour, Motor camping can be very
inexpensive or it can be made to cost
a. lot. However, the enjoyment of the
trip costing the least may be beyond
all expectations.
Camping aetoists are inelined to too
much paraphernalia. Of course it is
better to take enough to camp in com
fart. Equipments for camping vary
ail the way from a completely outfit-
ted trailer to the very minimum outfit
which consists of practically nothing
except the car and its occupants. The
more elaborate outfits are designed
especially for long trips of a month
or more.
For a week -end trip of a few days
to one a fortnight in length a good
rule is to take only enough to provide
comfortable shelter and good food,
CAMPING NEEDS DEFINED.
Food, shelter and clothes are the
primary needs in camping. Each
member of the party should have an
outfit of dishes including a non-
breakable plate of a deep sotip pat-
tern, a large non -breakable cup, a
knife, fork, large and small spoon.
For general uee of the motorist group
the cooking utensils should include
soave sort of a grate under which a
fire can be built and on which food
can be cooked. Other necessities
along this line are a frying pan, boil
lug k::4le, toaster, coffee pot and a
pair oaf pinchers for removing hot
dishes.
Shelter ie. an important considera-
tion for the camper. Some folks have
declared it to he possible to sleep on
tho seats of the automobile. Their,
number, however, is not legion, There
are a few who have worked out a sys-;
tem whereby the 'cushion of the back
seat of an enclosed car is taken out i
and laid lengthwise of the vehicles
alongside of the removed and similar
ly placed back cushion. By reversing
the two front seats the bed is com-i
Irleted and is fairly comfortable. This
plan has the advantage of being quick -I
ly arranged and also of being more/
comfortable in case of rain or a heavy,
windstorm. It also eliminates any!
inconvenience from bugs and the like
that are sometimes to be found on the
COMFORTS TO CAMPING,
the tops of the front and rear seats
I One possibility of this plan, although
not ' necessarily an argument in its
favor, is seen in the space between the
front and rear seats where email chil-
dren of the family might find repose.
TENTS Meer USED.
1 Some have tried various kinds of
tent arrangements by which canvas
is stretched from the top, side or end
of the car to the ground. Others have
built ,a lean-to of branches and leaves
which protect only partially in cas. e
of rain. Still others have sought the
more substantial shelter of a friendly
barn or farmhouse; But that takes
much of the fun out of camping.
The clothes requirements are not
extensive. For a week -end trip light.
underwear, flannel shirt, khaki trou-
sers, heavy shoes and socks and a
woolen sweater are sufficient. This
goes for both men and women. For
those who may not want to depart
from so usual a habit as undressing, a
pair of pajamas will be in order.
Woollen blankets should be carried in
sufficient quantities to insure keeping
the body comfortably warm while
sleeping.
Then 'there are a few miscellaneous
necessities. Included in these are
handkerchiefs, 'toilet soap, comb,
brush, tooth brush and paste, bathing
suit, towel, mirror, dish towel, watch,
flash:lamp, piece of rope, matches,
camera and some loose change with at Ottawa says:--

Royalty's Home:
This year witnesses the centenary
of Buckingham Palace, perhaps the
best_known of all the Royal residences.
It was in 1825 that building operations
were commenced to convert Bucking-
ham House into_a home,"fit for a king."
The site has a somewhat varied his-
tory and is intimately connected with
an iirdustry,which has been well in the
.limelight of late—silk. In the reign of
James I., where Buckingham Palace
now stands were the Mulberry Gar-
dens, which had been laid out to pro-
vide English raw material for our silk
manufacturers. The experiment failed
however, 'and the gardens were con-
verted into a pleasure resort—a sort of
a'eventeenth century Wembley on a
small' scale.
Later, Arlington House was built on
the site of the gardens, and then, in its.
turn, gave way to Buckingham house,
erected by the Dake of Buckingham
in 1703. it was this house which was
rebuilt, one hundred years ago, to
make the palace we now know.
The rebuilding, which cost about
$$2,500,000, was commenced under
George IV. but It was not until -Queen
Victoria's reign that the new palace
was occupied by Royalty,
It was this circumstance which in-

Health in Strawberries.

Year round, and became as staple an
article of diet as potatoes, his ;profes-
sion would
rofes-sion-would be ruined!
Strawberries are something more
than a luscious fruit; they are a valu-
able medicine. In a strawberry are
lime, phosphates, alkaline and mineral
salts, iron, manganese, and a special
kind of sugar, constitue'ts that are so
well proportioned that they do their
fill share of good.
Diseases particularly susceptible to
the strawberry cure are rheumatism
and gout. That is because of the sali-
cylic Gaits in the fruit. In Europe doc-
tors have established special hospitals,
set amidst miles of strawberry beds,
for the cure of the most acute • forms of
rheumatism. Anaemia also yields to
the strawberry treatment.
Some people find that strawberries
upset thein, and that they. cause an ir-
ritating rash. In such cases straw-
berries should be left alone, The trou-
ble"is caused by the body being in-
tensely antagonistic to the salicylic
salts.
Finally, the sugar M strawberries is
so energizing that if the red berries
contained nothing else they would still
rank high as a medicinal food.

A Murderous People.
For thousadds of years the island of
Sardinia in the Mediterranean has
been considered one of the most beau-
tiful and fertile islands in that part of
the world. The fertility of the land is
remarkable, and the coast fisheries un-
surpassed. Meanwhile the poorer land
of Italy, while not so fertile, has been
overcrowded to such an extent that to-
day very little is left for the common
People._
Despite its many favorable condi-
tions, Sardinia, with 9100 square miles
of land and with 331 towns of yarious
sizes, had, in 1772, only a population: of
409,050 persons. The causes of this
remarkably small population were
found in the great amount of land
owned by the nobility and the taxes
imposed by the church and state. It
is alleged that "private vengeance”
started in the island, the natives calm-
ly murdering each other in order to get
money with which to pay the taxes.
During two years of hard times the
murders on the island of Sardinia
averaged 1100 a month, which means
that approximately every eighteenth"
person was murderedin the two years.
