What is Fuel sias,

Fuel gas consists of about one part
illuminating gas, mixed with about
seven parts of air; thus, in round
numbers, one thousand cubic feet OF
ordinary illuminating gas. converted
into fuel gas by the mixture of 1000
cubic feet of air, will produce the
equivalent of 5000 feet of fuel gas.
Therefore, instead of mixing the gas
and air at the works as was oriyi-
nally intended. and supplying gas
| of few heat units to the consumer.
we intend to supply rich illumin-
ating gas OF high candle power and
many heat units. and mix it with air
at the point of combustion, thus do
ing away with the necessity of large
and expensive mains, services, meters
and burners. The objection that gas
for fuel is an expensive luxury for
domestic purposes is a grcvious error
Only those people who have not tried,
and therefore do dot know the truth
concerning it. are deceived. As a
matter OF fact-making allowance for
all its Advantageous for fuel is
cheaper than either coal. wood or oils.
if properly used. So immeasurably
great are the advantages of gas for
fuel at all seasons of the year. that to
be deprived of it would doubtless be
regarded, by those using it. as an in
convenience equal to being forced to
substitute tallow candles for gas OF
electric lights.
Its use is attended by no danger, no
waste, no storage of fuel in sheds or
cellars and carriage to Kitchen, no
kindling. no delays, no poking. no
shaking. raking. dumping, no dirt.
ashes, SCOT, smoke or sparks, no burn
ing red hot or too hot, not hot enough
or too cold. 1t saves time and work
il is always ready and adjustable to
the exact degree of heat desired for
any purpose, and to he extinguished
entirely.
Experiments practically made and
confirmed by highest scientific author.
ity prove that meats prepared with
fuel gas yield a return at least 20 per
cent larger. and that. besides this
gain. both meats and other foods art
more juicy, palatable, nutritious,
easily digested. and therefore more
healfhful than those cooked with ordi.
nary coal or wood stoves or ranges.
Consumers using gas ranges foi
cooking will be furnished gas for botl
fuel and lighting purposes at the uni
form price of $1.5O per 1000 cubic
feet when bills are paid before the
| 18th of the month.
In order TO introduce them car
load of first-class gas ranges will b,
given away. notice Of which will bt
