10 make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one of these 70
A~cetylene Generators it had found safe, and effective,
just as 1t 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 Acetylene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex-
ploslon occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Gener-
ators they authorize.
And, here's a proof of their good Judgment.
Though there are now Two Million people using
Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four
rlres from 1T IN one year, against SS65 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 2o 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 sus-
t'c'on, out OF the ooo experiments that were once on
the market.
Well,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made losey
trices possible on the material it is derived from, viz,
Calcium Carbide. a material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today, Acetylene Light is a full third CHEAPER than
Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.
1t is not more than halt the price of Electric Light,
nor three-fonrthS that of City Gas.
IT / can't proae these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones'"
But Aecetylene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
1t is also the Whitest Light-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 on the Eyes.
1t is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow ID hours per day in dark cellars where nc
ray OF Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow
fpice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sum
light OF daytime, viz, half the time.
That was proven by Cornell University in a 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 Acctylene
Light.
1t consumes only one-fowM as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes.
That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime, mark
-fourths of a difference.
B~ecause,-Oxygen is Life.
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is a
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle-Power A~cetylene Light costs you only
tVo-ffths of a 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
a third more, viz: three-ffhs of a cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $8.75 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 broVe these figures to you, Reader, if you
are a house owner or storekeeper.
Tell me how r'any rooms you've rot anc I'll tell you
what it will cost TO light them NTH brilliant, beautiful,
Sanitary, cy:.Savng Acetylene.
