DAY-LIGHT SAVING

A NEW ASPECT. "For the best of all ways To lengthen our days Is to steal a lew hours from the night." —Moore. Putting the clock back an hour may appeal to City folks, and would give the,m at least that much longer eacli day for recreation, or putting the front gulden in order, but it has no appeal to the farmer, who finds the hours of daylight, in both slimmer and winter, are all too short, and tho only way in which he can lengthen his day is to "steal a tew hours lroni the night." llow to secure tlieso low hours is a problem that the advent of tho "Wi ard" Lighting System has solved, aim thousands of country people in >Jew Zealand to-day spend their most eiijoyal hours under tho soft and cheerful rays of " Wizard" Lamps. In homes wliero these lamps are installed children find it pleasant to study without the constant eye-strain that is inseparable friyn diui kerosene lamps, while the parents find that a couple of hours' reading in a properly lighted room make an agreeable change from the day's work, and when bedtime comes that feeling of excessive tiredness has given way to a sense of comfort, and a healthy and natural desiro for sledp.

When a working man in the City decides to build a house and has saved a hundred pounds to pay as a deposit, he specifies that either coil gas or electric light must be installed, and would rather wait another year before building than go without what he considers an absolute 1 necessity, yet Messrs. 'Early Bros., the New Zealand agents for "Wizard" Lighting Systems, state that although they have already sold nearly two tnousaml Lighting Systems in tho Dominion, it is surprising how many otherwise ' wellfurnished country homes still keep to antiquated methods of lighting, it is quite common, especially among the farming comauunity, to find that hundreds of pounds have bean spent on tasteful furnishings in order to:, make the home comfortable .for the family, and attractive to friends, but nearly all of the .real charm is lost beeauso the most tastefully furnished room is always dull and depressing in a dim aud ejnioky light. A lad.v recently staled that , having tho "Wizard" Light in lieu homo spoiled much of her pleasure-when visitii> as the brilliant light ill her own homo made those of her neighbours seem so dull. She said it was surprising what a difference it made when friends dropred in for a social evening to find the rooms as bright as day, and the extra pleasure the guests experienced when their dainty clothes were seen to the bc-st advantage. It is. so easy to bo happy in a bright light.. Could anything give more real enduring satistactioii tiiaii a brilliantly lighted home, especially when one considers that it is only during the few hours after dark that tho real pleasures of homo can bo expenpneed, daylightbeing mostly spent out of doors, and if later on the property is to be sold, how much moro attractive the place would be to a buyer. Ihe W uwird light add more than its cost to the valuo of a home; it is a permanent, profitable investment, "not an expense, and is guaranteed for five years. Country residents should find it to their advantage to write to Messrs. Early Bros., 59 Cuba Street, Wellington, for prices and particulars. The following is a copy ol a letter received recently from a n izard" Light user:— Dear Sirs,—lt gives me pleasure to testify to the excellent qualities of your "Wizard" Light. It is now sixteen months since I had ony two plants installed, one in my general store and the other in the tailor's shop. • During that time it has not given me a moment's trouble, aud I have not burnt out one singlo mantle. I can sincerely say that for cheapness, simplicity, and good light it is absolutely the host light 1 know oi for country lighting.' ... You are at liberty to use this testimonial if it will be of any use to you. Yours faithfully, (Signed) P. A. 110 WE, Tuakau, Waikato.
