ADVICE AS TO LIGHTS. In advising that fuel and light be conserved, the fuel administration urg03 tho doing away with carbon-filament lights by substituting tungsten. Issuing instructions on this subject, the authorities offer the following advice: ad-vice: We are wasting fuel by wasting lights. No longer do -we turn on all our lights for the sake of cheer. There Is more cheer in a real American's heart when he Is doing without all light except that which is necessary for his work. Yet, of course, no one for a moment does without light at the expense of eyesight. The mon at the front have had J.o change their habits of life; we must ' change ours. The first habit we must cultivate is to turn off lights as soon as we have finished using them. We must remove alt unnecessary lights from our rooms so that we will not bo tempted to turn them on for luxury's sake. We must replace all our fuel-wasting fuel-wasting lights by efficient ones. Replace carbon-filament lights with tungstens. You can easily learn the difference between carbon-filament and tungsten lamps; the former burn with a red glow and contain two fino wire loops. Tho latter give a white, intense light, and consist of a group of filaments around a glass post. Tungstens save not only fuel but money. mon-ey.
