Electricity for Lighting
mmmmmmmmmimmmmimmmmiiummmmm leeawaww. m
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnon not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to savo bother of lighting and adjusting. In Bome homos
the eleotrlo light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than eleotrlo light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts.
