Plain cake may be varied by the sim- 
ple use of various flavorings. A tea- 
spoonful of vanilla is generally used, but 
lemon extract makes an acceptable 
change, also nutmeg or cinnamon. To 
make a spice cake, add 1 teaspoon each 
of ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and 
allspice (or 
as 
many of 
these 
as you 
have) and % teaspoonful ground cloves. 
Sprinkle granulated sugar 
over 
the cake 
before baking to make a nice crusty top. 
Formula

be pasted

cardboard

reference is given

It hardly seems possible to the ama- 
teur cook that so many good things to 
eat can be evolved from these two simple 
recipes, but I can vouch for all the varia- 
tions. I have made them all, dozens of 
times, and know that they can be de- 
pended upon as the proportions are right. 
T HE above quantities will serve four 
persons nicely, but if there are only 
two in the party it is hardly worth 
while to make half the quantity — as some 
1 one has put it, it is pretty hard to split an 
egg — it is always best to make the whole 
amount, which can be doubled if desired 
in the case of a large party. In any 
case, the food will not go a-begging, I 
can assure you. 
The principle of basic formulas holds 
true throughout the entire science of 
cookery, whether in camp or out. In a 
i second paper I shall give more formulas, 
; that will help the camp cook to extend 
his field of endeavor, but these two 
Magic Rules are enough for the amateur 
to get by with. With the ordinary camp 
fare of broiled and fried meats and fish, 
f stews, boiled potatoes and vegetables and 
! soups, these baked breads and cakes will 
r provide as many variations in the camp 
I menus as are necessary for any but gour- 
I mands to have. And the best part of 
! them is that with care and cleanliness in 
their preparation they will not lie heavy 
either on the digestion of the campers or 
the conscience of the cook. 
DO FISH DISTINGUISH 
FLY COLORS?

cases that fishes do see color and much 
in the same manner as mankind. 
As previously stated, the prospect that 
fish are generally practically color-blind 
does not take the joy out of fishing and 
tackle. Although fish may not appre- 
ciate my colored baits, at least I do. 
/ T has been experimentally shown that 
flounders change color to match the 
bottom on which they lie. This change , 
being dependent on their vision, precludes 
their being color-blind . — [Ep’^ors.] 
It does not look like much , but — Say, 
Old Timer! how the Fish do like it. 
Funny how this “mystery” spoon fooled me, when the wiseacres came into 
my sporting goods store year after year asking for “one split ring, and one treble 
hook ” — now they are writing letters; one from Chicago says: “Took a chance on 
an Osprey Dardevle No. 9 — fish not biting, so tried it out — seven Walleyes in 
a day — one over ten and a quarter pounds — getting them when no one else could 
— send me three Dardevle Spoons No. 9 — don’t like to be without one.” 
Add one split ring to one treble hook and it becomes a Magic Bait. 
The chap that invented this magic bait gave it that wobblin’, floppin’, 
splashin’ action — that the Walleyes, Pickerel and Bass can’t resist. 
I’ve used pretty near all other lures, but no other bait that I’ve seen went 
out as far and true to get as 
many strikes as this one. You 
can zip the Osprey Dardevle 
against the wind, with a heavy 
line and a low grade reel. 
Mind you, I don’t say that 
other lines won’t catch fish, but I 
do string along with friend Boek- 
holt — read his letter here at the 
side — because he “expects to go 
on another trip and don’t like to 
be without one.” 
Did you notice how it took a 
“Walleye” with a “tassle” to get 
that first one from Boekholt and 
how he tried to get another 
Dardevle pronto? 
Try your dealer. If he is 
sold out of Osprey Dardevles, T’ll 
send one anywhere in the U. S. 
or Canada, postpaid, for 85 cents. 
Made in 26 different finishes, all 
proven successful. The one shown 
above is one of the killers. Solid 
brass, weight 1 oz., length 3P2 
inches, width 1 inch. 
It wiggles, and wobbles, and 
whirls. 
Casts further than other baits, 
with less effort. Rides high or 
low, controlled by 3 - our rod and 
reel.

Dear Sir: — 
A few weeks ago, I stopped in Duluth on my 
way to Sand Point Lake, Minn., to get a fishing 
license and was induced by the Hardware Dealer 
where I got the license, to buy one of your spoon 
hooks — it was an Osprey Dardevle No. 9. 
To tell the truth, I did not fancy the thing very 
much, but as one of my mottos is, “I'll try any- 
thing once" I bought the lure and carried it with 
me to the lake. As I had a goodly assortment 
of spoon hooks and wobblers and spinners, 1 did 
not use this one, as I had more faith in the ones 
I ivas using. 
On the third day, ■ however, I decided to give this 
spoon a chance as the fish were not biting very 
well and I had tried about all my other lures. It 
certainly brought a decided change for the better, 
for I had gone only a little ways when a nice 
big Wall-eyed pike struck and was hooked beauti- 
fully. To make a long story short, I caught about 
six more Wall-eyed pike in what was left of the 
day, one of them weighed llP/i lbs. after being out 
of the water 24 hours. Needless to say, I used no 
other hook afterwards and I was getting them when 
no one else could show anything else for their day's 
work. 
I finally lost it — what kind of fish that got P, 
I don't know. First I thought it was a big Wall- 
eye for it came to the boat like a log, but it did 
not act like a log when it got to the boat — some- 
thing went wrong in the tussle that followed and 
my line broke. I never layed eyes on the fish 
once. It was an awful blow to me to lose this 
hook, as the others I had were not one-two -three 
with this one. 
As a rule I do not like to say anything about 
a certain bait, for I am somewhat inclined to think 
one bait is about as good as another, but the difference 
here was so distinct and marked that it was im- 
possible to help but notice it, I tried to buy 
another one here in town, but they don't seem to 
handle them here. I would like to have you send 
me C. O. D., three of those Dardevle Spoons No. 9, 
as I expect to go on another trip and don't like 
to be without' one. 
Hoping to hear from you soon, I am. 
Yours very truly, 
r. J. Boekholt.
