Children'S Health Camps.

Funds to keep the Children's Health Camps active in New Zealand are greatly needed. Any person who has had experience of what these well-organised Camps, with their proper supervision by the Health Authorities, actually do in the way of improving the well-being of under-nourished and weakly children, cannot fail to feel that the Camps constitute a very important welfare feature in the life of young New Zealand.

This year special organisation has been undertaken with a view to greatly increasing the return from the Health Stamps issued at 2d. each for penny postage use—the extra penny going as a direct contribution towards the Health Camp funds. Other efforts will also be made to supplement the funds. The movement, in which the Health Department and the Post and Telegraph Department are co-operating, is certainly worthy of general support.

Wairua Falls, On The Wairoa River, North Island, New Zealand.

The North Auckland District offers, in this photograph, an interesting river scene. The great Wairua Falls, over 300 feet across, are seen in the background, and the Wairoa River brawls before the camera, between banks of native growth.
“The fall of waters! rapid as the light, The flashing mass foams, shaking the abyss; The hell of waters! where they howl and hiss, And boil in endless torture.” —Byron.
