A little talk on the care of your Lamps FILL daily—with “Laurel”—so that the reservoir may be nearly full when the lamp is lighted. Not too full —oil, when warm, expands ; allow for expansion. L'cn't fill the lamp when burning. The contents of the reservoir should be emptied at least once a month to remove dust and settlings. When the lamp is not burning, see that the wick ic turned down below the top of the wick tube. Keep the burners clean the common cause of odour is the clogging of the tiny air holes' at the base of the burner under the cap, and the crust which forms at the fop of the wick tube. These openings must be kept free, because they supply the air, without which there could not be proper combustion. If the air passages become clogged the flame will fail, and emit an unpleasant odour. Boil burners occasionally in a solution of sal soda and water, which will soften and aid in removing the crust. Be sure the wick fits. It should just fill the tube without crowding, and be long enough to reach the bottom of the lamp. For lamps with flat wicks, trim the wick daily, cutting off the burned portion evenly across the top with sharp scissors, r. I! also slightly at the corners. The wicks on lamps with a centre draught, or taking a circular wick, sh uld not he cut. Turn the wick up fill only the charred portion is exposed, and rub off evenly from left to rig ,t, always in same direction. Never sew or pin two wicks together ; the expense of n new wick is trifling. Wicks should be rep'aced once e month, or as soon as they become dirty. A new wick should be thoroughly dried before putting it in the lamp. If your wick is too short to reach the oil. never put water into your lamp to raise the oil. If the water reaches wick, it will moisten it and prevent proper burning. Use good kerosene. The best brand is “Laurel”— the soft, white light. Don’t ask for “Kerosene” —say “Laurel.” It is our new trade mark name for the highest quality American kerosene ever sold in Australasia.
