Aro you awaro that every other
form of artificial Illumination, ex
cepting electric light, cats up the ox
ygen In tho nlr, and robs yours lungs
and your fnmlly's lungs of tho
most essential and Ufo-glvlng ele
ments of which tho nlr wo breathe
Is composed?
Did you over think of that?
A gas flame, or an oil lamp flame,
burning In your homo Is consuming
as imirli oxygen as four adult iter-sous.
Ti'nt means that If tboro aro six
peoplo In your pnrlor In tho evening,
and threo burners (gas or oil) nro
alight, tho result on tho air In that
room Is tho snmo ns If thoro woro
olghUvu peoplo then.
Evor go out In tho evening to a
card party, or sumo similar affair,
mid stay for several hours In a room
In which twonty or thirty peoplo woro
congregated and thnt room light
ed with gna or oil?
Homombor what n long, relishing

Itemoihbor what a relief It wns?
A gas or oil flnmo cannot bum

An electric light (nirns In n vacuum

Catch tho point?
Now when you Install olectrlc
light In your homo you nro Juat chas
ing so much unsnnltarliioss out of
your homo.
Is olectrlc light more expensive
when you consider this?
Would you not consider buying,
nt howovor cheap a prlco, u ploco of
furniture, or drnpory, which was uu
dor suspicion that It harbored disease
germs?
Do you consider thoro la nny econ

of light (no milt tor 'how cheaply It
may bo bought I that vitiates tho At
mosphere and tends towards slck
noss or discomfort?
Truly, thoro Is none.
Anothor point:
Electric light Is eminently safer
than any ot'ier kind of light. No
matches aro required.
And matches cause uoro fires
.than nuythl ig else la the wide world.
Is electric Ugh moro oxpcnslvo than
gas or oil lamps wbe.i you consid

Onco more:

Is electric lighting more expensive
Hum gns or oil lamps when you think
It over?
Ilesldes It there woron't theso
roal and t.evioudous nraumonts In

what light Is there that compnres
with it In Quality for n moment?
Think of Its brilliancy. Its stead

No flickering uncortalntlos.
No shadows on the book or papers.
