WELLINGTON ROADS.
BITUMEN CONCRETE EXPERIMENT. (Feom Odh Own Coebespondent.) WELLINGTON, May 1. Recently the Wellington City Corporation has been experimenting with bitumen concrete for street construction, and apparently with success. Cold, wet weather is not ’ conducive to good work in the laying down of bituminous concrete. It is necessary, states the Dominion, that the material should bo spread at a temperature of about 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is quite possible to do this in normal weather by running the bitumen from the heating machine on the. reclaimed land to the job by means of a motor tractor.* Even under such conditions the work has to be done expeditiously in order that the roller . shall pass over the sugary mass whilst it is still very hot. Low temperatures such as were experienced last week were quite against the work, as they cooled the bitumen far too quickly. It is unlikely, therefore, that much more of this work will be done until spring and summer.
RAILWAY CADET’S TESTIMONY TO BAXTER’S LUNG PRESERVER.
The writer of “ Baxter’s ’’ advertisements was chatting to a friend who had recently been on. a holiday visit to his people in Southland. “You know,” he said, “there is no mistake about it, Baxter’s Lung Preserver is a wonderful remedy.” “ Seven years ago when I went south for a trip I met an old. friend of our family in Christchurch. He nad had a severe attack of bronchitis, and ho mentioned that tho only thing that did him any good waa Baxter’s Lung Preserver This year I visited him again, and the first thing I noticed was that he had a large-sized bottle of Baxter’s handy.” “You know,” he said, “I could not possibly get through the winters here in Canterbury without this preparation. It is simply wonderful. As soon as I .-cel an attack coming on I take a few doses and I am immediately relieved.”
People throughout the dominion swear by Baxter’s Lung Preserver as the finest cough and cold remedy on the market. It is rich, soothing, and wanning, and does you good from the first dose. Pleasant to take and economical—2s 6d fair a largesized bottle from any chemist or store, or, better still, order the family size at 4a fid.—. Advk
