To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one of these 70
Acetyene Generators it had found safe, and effective
just as it permitted houses to be pped for City Cas-
wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
were er aso Ut Sae to nse
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex-
plosion occurs, from any of the Aceylene Gener
ators they authorize
And, here's proof of their good judgment
Though there now Two Million people using
Acetyene Light in America, there have only been four
Fires from it in year, against 8S05 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 46o1 Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $40 Fires from Candles.
Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the
Suns rays, But,-only four Fires from Acetylene.
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination OF Acetyene Generators, and IN
permitting" only the 10 makes that were above Sns-
tcion out of the 600 experiments that were once on
the market
Well,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made losyer
Prices possible the material it derived FROM viz
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Kerosene Light, Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.
1t is not than half the price of Electric Light
nor three fowths that of City Gas.
If can't broUe these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Atetylene Jones'" .
But Acetyene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
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 on the Eyes
1t is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where no
ray of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow
tz,lee fast similar plants that had only the Sum
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 i'm
portant to you than all the others about Aceylene
Light.
1t consumes only one-fonrth much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Lght consumes.
That's tremendous difference in lifetime, mark
you-three fourths of difference.
Because,-Oxygen is Life
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs OF
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is a
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle Power Acetylene Light costs you only
f7vo-fffhs of cent per hour.
That's about $5.85 year, If burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
a third more viz Mree-ffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $8.75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chmneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning filling and trimming daily.
