Well-there's only one way that I know of for real chjoyment-and that is in camp.
Of course, it's right and well to be with your family for Christmas Day Church and family festivities: but for the rest of the week, if you ask me, camp is the thing!
Of course, it will be cold in the Mother country, but in the "down under" lands it will be boiling hot. What of it 1.Be Prepared for it, and you will enjoy the outing just the same, whether it be hot ar cold.

Buliding an Igloo,
Have you ever heard of an Igloo ? An Igloo is a hut made of snow, much used by Arctic explorers in the great open snow plains where no trees or stones are to be got. The way they build an Igloo, where the anow is not sufficiently frozen to be cus into blocks, is this:-
They start rolling a big snowball until it is as big as they can well

There are lots of people who da Santa Claus's work for him, and they generally do it secretly with- cut saying a word to anyone--and I should like to tell you something" about them.:
Boy Scouts are some of these people. They go about every day- not merely at Christmas time- quietly doing kind things without letting people know that they have done them.
One morning a poor working- man found his wife and two of his children very ill, so ill that they had to be taken off to the hospital, And the poor man was left with one little child and his home to look after.
Then, when they have made a whole lot of these blocks, they pile them, together in a big heap about feet high, 10 feet long and about 8 feet wide, and jam them well to- gether, filling up all cracks and

WHY RICE CAUSES FLATULENCE.
HOW TO ENJOY YOUR FOOD WITHOUT PAIN TO FOLLOW.
Probably no food causes more stomach disorder in the East than rice. Many people find that a dish containing rice invariably causes a "blown-out" feeling of discomfort, often with flatulence and stomach pain. The reason for this is that the rice swells and the stomach is unable to evacuate it promptly. Ex- css acid accompanies the retarded absorption of the stomach contents, causing fatulence, heartburn, and general discomfort. Unless this acid is neutralised the stomach lin- ing will be so badly attacked that ulcers may furm. When pain and discomfort follow rice or other food, quick relief can always be obtained by taking half-a-teaspoon. ful of 'Bisurated' Magnesia (or two to four tablets) in water. This in- stantly neutralises excess acid, stops fermentation, disperses wind. and soothes, heals, and protects the delicate stomach lining. If you are troubled with pains after eating, start taking 'Bisurated' Magnesia without delay and your digestivel troubles will soon be things of the past.
