DAYLIGHT SAVING

A NEW ASPECT ''For the best of all ways To lengthen our days Is to steal a few hours from the night." —Moore. Putting the clock back an hour may P-l-peal to City folks, and would give them at least that much longer each day for recreation, or putting the front garden in order, but it has no appeal to the farmer, who finds the hours of day--light, in both sinmnei and winter, are all too short, and the only way in which ho can -lengthen his dnv is to "steal a few hours from the night."

How t:) secure these few hour; is a problem that the advent of the "Wizard" Lighting System lias solved, and thousands of country people in New Zealand to-day spend their most enjoyable hours under the soft and cheerful rays of "Wizard" Lamps. In homes, where these lamps are installed children find it pleasant to study without the constant eye-strain thai/ is inseparable from dim kerosene lamp 3, 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 bedtimes comes that feeling of excessive tiredness has given way to asense of comfort, and a healthy and natural desire for sleep. i When a wording man in the City decides to build a house and has saved a hundred pounds to pay a#" % a deposit, he specifies that either coal gas or electric light must be installed, and would rather wait another year before building than go without what he considers an absolute necessity, yet Messrs. Early Bros., the. i New Zealand agents for "Wizard" Lighting Systems, state that although they have already sold nearly two thousand Lighting Systems in the Dominion, it is surprising hAw many otherwise wellfurn:shed country homes still keep to antiquated methods ot lighting. It is quite common, especially among the farming community, to find that hundreds of pounds have been 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 because the most tastefully furnished room is always dull and depressing in a dim and smoky light. A lady recently states having the "Wizard" Light in her home spoiled much of her pleasure when visiting, as the brilliant light in her own home made those of her neighbors seem so dull. She said it w surprising what a difference it made when friend* dropped in for a social evening to find tIK rooms as bright as day, and the extra pleasure the guests experienced when their dainty clothes ,vere seen to the best advantage. It is so easj to be happy in a bright light. Could anything give more real enduring satisfaction than a brilliantly lighted home, especially when one considers that it is only during the Sow hours after dark that the real'pleasures of borne can be experiment, daylight being mostly spent out of doors, and if later on the property is to be sold, how much more attractive the pla."i woukl be to a buyer. Tho- "Wizavl" light adds more than its cost to th? value of a home; it is a permanent, profitable investment, not an expense, and is guaranteed fat five year.s. 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 of v letter received recently from a "Wizard" Light user: — Dear Sirs —lt gives me pleasure lo testify to the excellent qualities of your "Wizard" Light It is now sixteen months since I bad my two plants in- . stalled, one.- in my general store and the other in the tailor's shop. During that I time it has rot given me o moment's trouble, and I have no; burnt out one I single mantle. I can sincerely says that for cheapness, simplicity, and .good light it is absolutely the best lights} know of 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. Eowe, G. 5. Tuakau, Waikato.
