To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one of these 20
Aceylene Generators it had found safe, and effective,
just as it permitted houses to be pped for City Gas,
wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether these 10 different makes of Acetylene
Generators absolutely Safe to
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex-
poson occurs from any one of the Acetylene Gener-
aors they authorize.
And here's proof of their good judgment
Though there Two Million people using
Acetyene Light in America, there have only been fsw
Fires from it in one year, against 1906 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 46oI Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Gas and $50 Fires from Candies.
Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the
Suns rays. But-ony four Fires from Accylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board
in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in
permitting" only the 70 makes that were above sss
ticion, out of the 6oo experiments that
the market
Well,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made loaver
prices possible the material it is derived FROM viz
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic
Today, Acetylene Light is full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light per Candle Power
It's not more than half the price of Electric Light
nor Mree-foHrths that of City Gas.
If can't brove these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones'"
But Acetyene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
1t is also the Whifest Lght-the nearest to natural
Sunlight in health giving Blue and Violet rays, and
because of this, with its freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light the Eyes.
1t is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them 1t made them grow
tsrce as fast as similar plants that had only the Sun
light of daytime, viz, half the time.
That was proven by Cornell University in three
months experiment made this very year.
Now, I've saved up for the last point more inn
Portant to you than all the others about Acetyene
Light.
1t consumes only one-fowth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes.
That's tremendous difference in lifetime, mark
you-thrce fourths of difference.
Because, -Orygen is Life
And every ut of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is a
loss that can be made good again.
"a Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
tzUo- ffths of cent per hour.
That's about $s.85 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more, viz. Hreefffhs of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone or $8.75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys,
wicks and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily
/ want brove these figures to you, Reader if you
are HORSEPOWER storekeeper.
Tell me how rrany rooms you've pot anc I'll tell you
what it will cost to light them with brilliant, beautiful
Sanitary, ey--saving Acetylene.
