To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge which used any one Of these 20
Aceylene Generators had found safe and effective,
Just as 1t permitted houses to be piped Tor City Gas,
or wired for Electricity under proper conditions.
Now, the Insurance Companies ought TO know
whether not these 70 different makes of Acetyene
Generators absolutely Safe to use. h'
Because they have TO pay the bills, If Fire or Elk
ploson occurs, from any of the Acetylene Gener
ators they authorize.
And here's proof of their good judgment
Though there are now Two Million people using
Aceylene Light in America there have only been foa
lres from It IN one year, against SSo5 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 46ot Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $50 Fires from Candies
Besides these there have been 10 Fires from fhe
Suns rays, But,-only four Fires from Aceylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators and in
permitting" only the 70 makes that were dboye
ficion out of the GOO experiments that were once on
the market
Wel,-the boom in Acetyene Lighting made losper
Prices possible on the material it is derived frcm viz
Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Grarte
but acts like Magic
Today, Acetyiene Light is full third eheapey than
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.
nor three fowths that of City Gas.
faction my name is not "Acetyepe Jones'"
But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905
1t is also the phiiest Light-the nearest to natural
because of this, with its freedom from flicker it IS
the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes.
1t is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow hours per day i'll dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them 1t made them grow
Vice fdst similar plants that had only the SIM
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 a point more I'M
portant to you than all the others about Acetyeae
Light ~
1t consumes only one fourth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bed rooms,
either Kerosene City Gas-Light consumes
That's tremendous difference in a lifetime mark
you-three- fourths of difference.
Because,-Ofygen is Life.
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle Power Aceylene Light costs you only
f7Vo-ffths of cent per hour.
That's about $585 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. Mrec-fftS of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger Of
cleaning filling and trimming daily
want to proVe these figures to you, Reader, if you

Tell me how many you've got and I'll tell you
what it will cost to light them with brilliant beautiful,
