=CAMPS AND CABINS. By Oliver Kemp.= A working guide for the man who
wants to know how to make a temporary shelter in the woods against the
storm or cold. This describes the making of lean-tos, brush shelters,
snow shelters, the utilization of the canoe, and so forth. Practically
the only tools required are a stout knife or a pocket axe, and Mr.
Kemp shows how one may make shift even without these implements. More
elaborate camps and log cabins, also, are described and detailed plans
reproduced. Illustrated with drawings by the author.
=EXERCISE AND HEALTH. By Dr. Woods Hutchinson.= Dr. Hutchinson takes
the common-sense view that the greatest problem in exercise for most
of us is to get enough of the right kind. The greatest error in
exercise is not to take enough, and the greatest danger in athletics
is in giving them up. The Chapter heads are illuminating. Errors in
Exercise--Exercise and the Heart--Muscle Maketh Man--The Danger of
Stopping Athletics--Exercise that Rests. It is written in a direct
matter-of-fact manner with an avoidance of medical terms, and a strong
emphasis on the rational, all-round manner of living that is best
calculated to bring a man to a ripe old age with little illness or
consciousness of body weakness.
"_It contains good physiology as well as good common sense,
written by an acute observer and a logical reasoner, who has the
courage of his convictions and is a master of English
style._"--_D.A. Sargent, M.D., Sargent School for Physical
Education._
"_One of the most readable books ever written on physical
exercise._"--_Luther H. Gulick, M.D., Department of Child
Hygiene, Russell Sage Foundation._
"_A little book for the busy man written in brilliant
style._"--_Kansas City Star._
=THE FINE ART OF FISHING. By Samuel G. Camp.= Combines the pleasure of
catching fish with the gratification of following the sport in the
most approved manner. The suggestions offered are helpful to beginner
and expert anglers. The range of fish and fishing conditions covered
is wide and includes such subjects as "Casting Fine and Far Off,"
"Strip-Casting for Bass," "Fishing For Mountain Trout" and "Autumn
Fishing for Lake Trout." The book is pervaded with a spirit of love
for the streamside and the out-doors generally which the genuine
angler will appreciate. A companion book to "Fishing Kits and
Equipment." The advice on outfitting so capably given in that book is
supplemented in this later work by equally valuable information on how
to use the equipment.
"_Will encourage the beginner and give pleasure to the expert
fisherman._"--_N.Y. Sun._
"_A vein of catching enthusiasm runs through every
chapter._"--_Scientific American._
