RECREATION.

A CURE FOR INSOMNIA. 



Every hunter knows that one of the 

 most important items of a camp outfit is a 

 bed. There is nothing more essential to 

 health, strength and staying qualities when 

 tramping in the woods, climbing the 

 mountains or pulling on an oar, than good 

 sound sleep every night. As between the 

 2, I would rather get into a good bed with- 

 out my dinner at night than to have a 

 square meal and then sleep cold, or, in 

 other words, fail to sleep soundly. 



One of the most perfect schemes for a 

 bed I have ever tried is a Kenwood sleep- 

 ing bag. This is made of soft, heavy felt, 

 lined with a fine wool blanket, and cov- 

 ered with heavy waterproof duck. You 

 can throw this on a bunch of boughs, or on 

 a canvas cot, or on an air mattress, and 

 sleep the sleep of the just, and you need 

 not have a tent or a roof over you, either. 

 You can sleep out of doors in one of these 

 beds, even though the rains descend or the 

 blizzards howl, and you will know nothing 

 of the weather until morning. I have tried 

 it many a night and know whereof I speak. 



Write F. C. Huyck & Sons, Albany, 

 N. Y., for a catalogue of sleeping bags and 

 mention Recreation. If you buy one of 

 these and do not find it up to the stand- 

 ard I have described return it to them and 

 they will refund you your money promptly.
