Show ENJOY MANY COMFORTS ON CAMPING TRIP I . I . ; tt $ - -N. V-' l" 'N N" ' The Morning Toilet in "Tin Can Camp." The question, "W hat shall we eat. and what shall we wear, on our camping camp-ing trip?' is answered in a bulletin issued by the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club. "The motor camper who subsists on a diet of canned, powdered and dehydrated foods, is not aware of the latest developments de-velopments in camping," says this bulletin. "The camper has cereal, grape fruit, toast and coffee for breakfast break-fast at home, why not have the same breakfast while hitting the gypsy trail? The cream for breakfast comes out of the refrigerator basket, the butter comes from this same basket, or from the tonneau or runningboard Ice box. As for toast, nothing is easier to prepare when the camper is equipped with a collapsible camp stove. "Campers now go equipped not only with ice chests, but with kitchen cabinets as well. The portable kitchen cabinets contain a score of compartments compart-ments where salt, pepper, mustard, coffee, tea, spices, and various condiments con-diments mav be carried. Pots, pans, and kettles mav also be carried In the portable cabinet. "The matter of proper clothing is as important as proper food. Those who can should wear wool next to the skin at all seasons, for wool is the surest protection from every whim of the elements, and it is not uncomfortable uncom-fortable in warm weather, in fact the contrary is true. Silk stockings and cotton underwear have spoiled as many camping trips as uncomfortable beds. A 60 per cent wool garment Is the sensible thing to wear in summer, sum-mer, for the wool insulates the skin against intense bent and also against the sudden chill that comes on after the sun has gone down in high altitude al-titude camping. Women should wear knickers or riding breeches, with oxfords ox-fords and middies. Men will find khaki breeches, wool shirts, and puttees put-tees ideal for the camp and for longdistance long-distance driving." |
