I hope there are not many people in this world who have never enjoyed rough ing it at some time or other. Even to the most civilized soul porcelain tubs and silver cutlery are minor af fairs when weighed in the balance with blue skies and deep woods and rushing streams. We Omahans are apt to underestimate the beauty of our river bluffs and the delights of a day spent on them. The feeling of freedom and peace which comes from happy out-of-door living is as satis fying when gained from a day on a Nebraska hill as from a jaunt to a famous lake or mountain side. The flavor of food cooked over a camp fire is something that can never be imitated in an ordinary kitchen; and, no matter what the food, the zest that comes from a healthy hunger makes it delicious beyond words. Still, when one is a novice, a few suggestions as to supplies and equip ment make planning easier. The ideas given below have been gleaned mostly from seasoned campers who pass on their experiences. The first bit of advice to the hiker or camper is "go light."

In them you let essary, and choose food that is nour ishing in proportion to bulk. For ordinary hikes no stove is usually carried, and, with so many boy scouts and camp fire girls in the land, it is unnecessary to discuss the making of a camp fire. In a rocky country a stove may be improvised from three large stones arranged to form a hotloty square with one side missing. The missing side is toward the wind to secure a good draft. The skillet is placed on the three stones. Another easily improvised stove is made from a wire broiler which is opened out fiat, then the handles bent at right angles to form legs which can be stuck into the ground. At some camp supply stores one can buy hinged iron rods in canvas cases. These arc hinged in two places and are set up like a croquet arch, except that the rod is bent at right angles, not arched. Two of these rods are set up close enough together so that the kettle or skillet is supported on them. A sheet of zinc may be placed on them for making flapjacks. For more than a two or three days' camp an oven is a welcome addition to cooking equipment. An ordinary port able oven may be used on a camp fire, or there are reflector ovens. A reflector oven is open on one side, and the inside is lined with bright corru gated metal. The open side of the oven is turned toward the hre. the minimum ot utensils tor a camping trip is one skillet, one large kettle, one cooking spoon, one sharp knite, and a plate, drinking cup, spoon Winona, Minn.

A spring is usually safe, an un known well or pump or running; water arc not safe. If there is the slightest question about the water it should be boiled before using1. If it is impossible to cool the water after boiling to make it palatable for drinking, it may be used for tea, coffee, cocoa or soup. Kven for a day's bike it is advisable to avoid stratiRC wells. As I write. I can think back to seven unhappy young people who had indulged free ly in water from a deserted pump. It was a fine joke afterwards but it might have been serious. Oranges are excellent thirst quenchers, even though they arc bulky to carry. An improvised icebox for a camp consists of a damp cloth wrapped around the food to be cooled, one end of the cloth in a basin of water, and the whole arrangement in as breezy a spot as possible. The constant evaporation of the water uses up the heat from the food and the breeze carries away the saturated air.
