It is economical because it can be (juickly turned oft* when not needed. With
gas or krroHonr there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed, to
save bother of lighting and adjusting, In some homes the electric light bill
amounts to only about $2 per month. You can probably get some kind of artifi­
cial light for less moncythan electric light, but does it save you anything when it
limits opportunities for wprk and recreation, ruins your eyesight, smokes your
walls, mars decora ions and increases household work. You can probably
save a dollar to-morrow by going without your meals, but it wouldn't be econ­
omy. It is not so much what you save, but, how you save, that counts. We
