COAL OIL LAMPS EXPLODE.
Gas Ligh. Burner Does Not.

1t never burns out, no chimney
to buy nor to clean, no smoke, no
smell, no dirt. Durable and cheap.
The only original burner in the
world that produces a genuine
gas light, attached to coal oil
lamp, and by using the safety gas
fluid, which is one of the greatest
triumphs of modern chemistry;
simply wonderful. The burner
fits al, common coal oil lamps.
These burners are made from the
best materials, have no delicate
screens, screws or fragile parts to
burn out. The burner and fluid
produces genuine gas light,
bright and clear, equal to the gas
light of any city. The lamp never
SWEETS, never gets greasy, use no
chimney, never smokes. 1t is less
trouble to keep five of these lamps
in good order, than one lamp burn
ing coal oil. 1t Will cost one
fourth less than coal oil, aud give
twice the light.
Where will you get the

only few minutes time, no long
process, no machinery required. |
will furnish full clear, plain di-
rections for making this fluid to
every purchaser of gas light
burner.
Everybody wishes a clean,
steady, brilliant light. People are
anxious to get rid of the dirty,
greasy, bad smelling coal oil lamp.
There are no lamps to buy, only
the burner; 1t fits any lamp, and
low price places them within the
reach of all. 1t saves the entire
cost of chimneys.
The light produced is the best
and most beautiful in the world,
and last, but not least. when you
see the light you will say it is the
greatest, most wonderful invention
you ever saw.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
0, gans. If the liver is inactive,
you have a bilious look, if your
stomach is disordered, you have q
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys
are affected, you have pinched
lock. Secure good health, and
you surely have good looks. "Elec
trio Bttters" is a good Alternative
and tonic. Acts directly on the
stomach, liver and kidneys, puri'
fies the blood, cures plmples, blot
ches and boils, and gives good
complexion. Every bottle guaran
