out extra charge, which used any one Of these 20
Aceylene Generators it had found safe and effective,
just it permitted houses TO be pipcd for City Gas.
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions.
Now the Insurance Companies ought TO know
whether not these 10 different makes Of Aeetylcne
Generators were absolutely Safe TO use.
Because, they have to pay the bills, If Fire or Ex-
posion occurs, from any of the Aeetylene Cener-
ators they authorize.
And, here's proof of their good judgment
Though there are now Two Million people using
Acetyene Light in America there have only been four
Fires from it in year, against Sso5 Fires from
There have also been 46or Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Gas and $40 Fires from Candles
Suns rays But,--only four Fires from Acetyene.
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in
permitting only the 70 makes that were dbove sES-
PieioY, out of the Goo experiments that on
the market
Well-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lo7uey
prices possible the material il derived from, viz,
Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic
Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.
II is not than half the price of Electric Light,
nor three fowths that of City Gas.
If can't brove these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Aectyene Jones.
But Acetylene is than the safest and cheapest
1t is also the Whiiest Light-the nearest TO natural
Sunlight in healtt-giving Blue and Violet rays and
because of this, with its freedom from flicker it is
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
ree fast 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 point more I'M
portant to you than all the others about Acetyene
Light
1t consumes only one fourth 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.
Bccause,-OFygcn is Life
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs OF
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is
loss that be made good again
A "a Candle Power Acetyene Light costs you only
f1Vo- -fffhs of cent per hour
That's about $5.8s per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more viz: hree-6fths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $S75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chmneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger or
cleaning filling and trimming daily.

what it will light them with brilliant beautiful
Sanitary eye-saving Acetyene.
