AN ANTPROOF BREAD BOX
By FRANK E. WARNE
One of the most disagreeable experiences of camp life is to come home after a long fish or hunt, to the little log cabin for a good supper and find that red ants or cockroaches have beaten you to it by several hours. What’s more, the women cannot be persuaded to join you on a few days’ fish or hunt if they are “obliged to put up with the nasty insects.” You say to yourself, “There is no use trying to keep food from hungry red ants; what more can a man do than to put his food into a good bread box ?“
Here is what he can do to prevent those unpleasant raids on his food supply which keep his wife from being with him: Buy five cents’ worth of fly paper. Take a sheet and cut it lengthwise in strips. Cover the back of one strip with paste (a mixture of flour and water can be used) and place it horizontally on the side of your food container, as in the diagram. Continue to paste on the strips in the same manner until you have completely encircled your container with fly paper. Now no bug that walks can get into your bread box and spoil that big meal you and your wife are going to have after a day in the open.
