WAXED THREAD 
The average camper is often in need of 
waxed thread, for sewing up his revolver 
holster, a grommet for his tent, a leather 
sheath for his axe or knife, or perhaps for 
mending a rip in his moccasins. And he 
immediately makes a bee-line for his shoe¬ 
maker, thinking that waxed thread can 
only be gotten from shoemakers. 
In the first place, that is an expensive 
way of obtaining it; secondly, why buy a 
thing when you can make it in your spare 
time? Such is the woodsmen’s motto and 
the same should apply to the outdoorsman. 
To make waxed thread that’s perfectly 
waterproof, get a ball of four or six-thread 
white cord, the thickness depending on 
what you want to use it for. It ranges in 
price anywhere from ten cents up, accord¬ 
ing to the size and thickness. At the 
nearest leather store (or your shoemaker 
may spare some) you can get about ten 
or fifteen cents’ worth of yellow beeswax; 
this sells by the pound and retails at about 
forty cents. Tie one end of the thread to 
a fixed point, and with a piece of beeswax 
in the right hand, holding the string with 
the left, run it over the thread vigorously 
a few times; the wax will penetrate the cord 
and cause it not only to take on a waxy 
appearance, but to acquire all the toughness 
of any waxed thread you can buy.

BIG GAME 
in CANADA 
If you want real sport, and a big game hunter’s reputa¬ 
tion try the forests of New Brunswick where the giant 
Moose still roam, or Quebec and Ontario where big heads 
are the rule. Alberta and British Columbia have famous 
hunting grounds in the fastnesses of the 
Canadian Pacific 
Rockies 
Moose, goat, bear, mountain sheep, and deer are the 
trophies that reward the sportsman. 
Information on each locality can be had from any Agent 
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, or
