If there is anything that will make
a man resolve to move onto farm or
TO put up a spite fence sixty feet high
about his abode, it is to have the un.
comfortable assurance that his neigh
bors across the way are continually
keeping tabs upon him.
AS for himself he wouldn't care a
rap. But is seems to be continually
on his wife's mind, and it worries her,
thereby upsetting the peace and con-
tentment of home life.
MY dear, you mustn't tumble with
your latchkey when you come home at
night. The neighbors are sure to be
looking. They may say that you are
not steady on your feet. They sent
over some temperance tracts the other
day for us to read"
You'd better go and explain to
them, if you think that it's any of
their business, that I'm getting as
blind as a bat. I can scarcely see a
hole through the rung of a ladder
Tell them, too, that l can't afford to
put on glasses. That would make me
appear ten years older than 1 really
am, and cause me to lose my job"
Next day his wife exclaims mourn
fully: Just for the looks Of it, dear,
think you should send sirloin steaks
once in a while. Our neighbors across
the way find out that we are getting
only cheap round meat"
Things are coming to a pretty
pass" he tells her, when the neigh
bors dictate what a man shall eat"
Even on Sunday afternoon he can
not read his papers in peace by the
sunny window When he is discovered
sitting meekly there his wife drags
him away in horror. 20, husband"
she groans. 81 am afraid every neigh
Dor has seen you"
"Well, What's the matter?" he de-
mands.
You're in your shirt sleeves and
you haven't your collar on People
will talk, you know 1t is we'll known
that Mr.. So and So across the way,
she adds, never appears at the table
in his own home in the evening ex-
cept in his dinner jacket and correct
tie
"Arabella!" exclaims her irate hus-
band, throwing down his paper, lam
, lord and master of my home or am I
not? A mans home in his castle. In
it he can do as he choose" If the
neighbors want to rule my domicile
let them come over here and pay the
bills. When you're sure that you see
them spying, just pull down the
blinds in their faces"
Zone cannot live at war with the
neighbors," his wife retorts. ITO have
war with all the neighbors one may
better move out of the block Stories
are easily circulated about families"
IF you are going to live to please
your neighbors you might as well
move out of the town as for that mat

time, my dear wife, to do as David
Crockett advised: BE sure you're

BETTERlNG THE HOME LIGHTING

That the house is equipped with
electric lights is not al sufficient. In
many cases the wiring was done before
the new metal flament lamps were
even dreamed Of and, consequently,
some very radical changes are neces-
sary if the occupant is to get the full
benefit Of the new lamps. In nearly
every homo the lighting could be i'm
proved with very little trouble and
foreth ught.
In the first place, nearly everyone
burns in~candescent lamps long after
they have seen their best day. 1t is a
fact that the old carbon filament cleo
trio lamps deteriorate very fast in
value after the first few hundred
hours, although they continue to use
up the valuable electric energy. Thus
a lamp rated at sixteen candle-power
when new, at the end of four hundred
hours would be giving about ten
candle power. This is very far from
being good economy, inasmuch as
much electric light concerns are per
fectly willing to exchange these old
lamps for new, entirely free Of charge.
In justice to your eyesight change the
lamps often.
Even though carbon filament lamps
are supplied free of charge it is ever
better economy to buy metal filament
lamps for the rooms where the most
light is required, such as the dining
room, the living room and the kitchen
These lamps cost more, X is true, but
they will give three times the light OF
the old carbon lamps for the same
amount of current.
In purchasing new lamps for the
home there are three things to under
stand. You must know the voltage
of the electric circuit, the "wattage'
Of the lamps and the kind of lamp.
you want.
Metal filament lamps are the yer!
latest development in electric lightins
for the home. They give a clear, pene
trating white light which is yer,
pleasant to the eyes. In order to ge
the best results the question of volt
age" must be considered. Voltage
means electrical pressure, and if tn,
house voltage is 10 the lamps mus
be rated the same. Lamps of too littl
voltage will last but a little while OF
high voltage lines and lamps of Is
, volt rating when used on a 10 vol
t circuit will give very little light, be
cause the pressure" is too low. A,
inquiry at the electric light company
t office will supply this information an
all lamps purchased should be Of thi
: same voltage rating.
