Canoeists will find this rubber cement excellent for stop- 

 ping leaks in canoes, either joint-cracks or holes; quite 

 large holes can be fixed up with it. For cracks or joints, 

 with a hot iron or small stone, melt and rub the cement 

 well in, leave a small streak of the cement over the crack or 

 joint. For mending a hole take a piece of canvas or boot 

 leg large enough to cover the hole with about one inch lap 

 all around. With a hot iron or stone smear over the patch 

 with a good coat of rubber cement, also smear around the 

 edges of the hole, then heat the patch quite hot and press it 

 in place. Then smear over the whole business with cement, 

 using the hot 'iron or stone. The cement will harden in a 

 short time, when it will require no further looking after. 

 This, of course, is only for cases of emergency. To fix a 

 hole permanently it should be cut out square or oblong with 

 slightly beveling edges, then neatly fit a piece of wood to 

 the hole, smear the edges of the piece as well as the edges 

 of the hole with rubber cement; have it quite warm, then 

 press the piece in place; if well done it will neither come 

 out nor leak. No canoeist's or angler's kit is complete with- 

 out a roll of rubber cement. It is multum in parvo; try it. 



Instant Relief for Cramp or Wind Colic. 



The severest cramp colic can be cured by simply stand- 

 ing on the head for a few seconds. This is an Indian cure, 

 and a good one. 



Standing on the head can be easily accomplished by 

 putting your head and hands on the ground at the butt of 

 a tree, throw the body and legs against the trunk of the 

 tree. By the assistance of a companion it is quite easy 

 done; a few seconds is all that is necessary.
