To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one Of these 70
Acetyene Generators had found SAFE and effective,
just it permitted houses to be piped for City Gas,
or wired for Electricity under proper conditions.
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 70 different makes Of Acetyene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills if Fire Or Ex-
plosion 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
Acctyene Light in America, there have only been four
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 Cas- 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 Acetylene Generators, and in
permitting only the 70 makes that were above snsA
beion out Of the 600 experiments that were once on
the market.
Well-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made Lower
prices possible on 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 oryGasone Light, per Candle Power
1t is not more than half the price of Electric Light
nor htree-foarths that Of City Gas.
If can't prove these statements to your full salts

Light Of the year 1905.
It is also the Whiies Light-the nearest to natural
Sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays, and
because of this, with its freedom from flicker, 1t is
the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes.
It 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. 1t made them grow
vice as fast 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 i'm
portant to you than all the others about Aceylene
Light
1t consumes only one fourth as much Of the vital
Oxygen from the Air Of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes.
That's tremendous difference in lifetime, mark
you-three- fourths of difference.
Because-Okygen is Life.
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs OF
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle Power Acetylene Light costs you only
tvoffths of cent per hour.
That's about $585 ner year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more, viz: ree-ffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $S75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
