Canoe and Camp Cookery. 



By "SKNKCA." 



A practical cook book for canoeists, Corinthiaa sailors and outers. Prac.lcal because 

 the author gives explicit and intelligible directions for preparing such dishes as he has him- 

 self actually tested in camp and on a cruise. This is just where the recipes differ from the 

 absurdly itppracticable dishes given in some so-called camp cookery books. The cooking 

 outfit is described, and numerous hints on camp economy add to the value of the work. 

 Cloth, 96 pages Price $1.00.
