Kdi. r of Th-- Banner:
rie.se h". me thank you for you
eilinirial in this morning’s Bann#
under th" above caption. It appeal
in n.e not merely as timely, but
■mi -rtmi as well.
Why cannot some sort of concert#
etion tie had looking to tlie entlg
k iishing of this "sensei.ss use
reworks" at Christmas time? It
e ill know, n custom very general!
l>s< rvetl throughout tlie South, ye^i
custom for which not one word c
said in justification or in exit
tion. It is
oration of the birth Of the
Peace.
It would not, iierhaps. he fair to*th >
merchants to ask that an ordinance
bo passed now prohibiting the use of
any and all kinds of fireworks within
iv city limits, but what possible ob
eli; n could there lie to the passing
such an ordinance before another
liristmas?
If this is objected to because of til"
-efits accruing from the sale of such
xids—and I understand they are
turmoils—why net let them he sold
>r the Fourth of July instead? Much
mid be sai l in favor of the change
-nothing, 1 think, against it.
[t would be more in keeping with the
•ii it or the day; there would be less
f desecration: there would he far
ss danger of serious fires wdth little
r no cotton on the streets, and far
■ss danger of pneumonia or other
lions disorders from exposure. So
that for every reason, but more espe-
ially the religious one. let us do what
may he necessary to put a stop to this
less use - f fireworks” at. Christ
mas time. I thank you for your edi
torial and hope that it maw bear friut

how hig ;i fire there may he in the fur
nace or heating apparatus.
The best way out of the difficulty L
the use of auxiliary stoves—and of
these it would he difficult indeed to
find anything so handy and at the
same time so clean and economics! 1 as
the Perfection Oil Heater.
To begin with it is absolutely safe.
Tile wick can he turned as high or as
low as |.t ssible without danger. But
perhaps tlie most desirable feature
of all is its convenience. The Perfec
tion Oil Heater can he easily carried
to any part of the house where more
heat is required. It may he a cold
bedroom, a chilly hallway, a sick
room. Or you can use it to heat the
bathroom while you take yicxur morn

carry it to the dining room and eat

casions on which it can he called into
use are. numerous, and once you have
tried the Perfection Oil Heater you’ll
wonder why you ever struggled
through a odd winter without one.
Another advantage is the smokeless
burner, which prevents any of the un
pleasantness that, perhaps, Live given
a poor idea of oil heaters in general.
Tt is very handsome in appearance
and is beautifully finished in nickel
and japan.
Another home comfort for the long
winter evenings is the Rayo Lamp,
which can he used in any room in the
house—from parlor t*a bedroom. It
has the latest Improved burner, mak
ing it unusually safe and clean and
an ideal lamp for all round household
use.
Thq Perfection Oil Heater and the

make the house warm and cheorful,
are valuable additions to any home,
and no household should be without
them. They are sold at a moderate
