Owing to the ever-increasing cost of Australian hardwood poles for use in electrical reticulation, the Ashburton Hydro-Electric Power Board (says the Lyttelton Times) finds it necessary, to use New Zealand bluegmns, though only for certain types of construction, if it hopes to complete its scheme at the cost anticipated. In order to make certain that the use of bluegums in .certain conditions will he economically isc.fe. the engineer recently telegraphed -'the Director of Forestry asking if he •considered the cutting of bluegum trees -for poles while the sap was' still; running would seriously affect the life of the pole,' * and also, if it would tend to increase the splitting of the timber. The director has replied to the effect that the cutting of such trees while the sap is rising will not seriously affect the life of the t>ole. He adds that <care is necessary, however, to ensure steadv seasoning in order to obviate splitting. ‘ Before going out in cold wet weather take “Nazcl” on sugar. This will keep coughs and colds away. Thousands use "Nazol.” Sixty doses 1/6. — .Advt.
