To make Cheap Gas-1ight for
Country Homes

out extra charge which Used any one Of these 70
Aceylcnc Generators it had found safe, and effective
just as it permitted houses to be pped Tor lily 0ds'
or wired for Electricity under proper conditions.
Now, the Insurance Companies onght 10 s1o"
whether or not these 70 different makes OF Acety!cnc
Generators were absolutely Safe TO use
Because they have to pay the bills, if Fire Or TX
plosion occurs from any one of the Acetyene oeier
ators they authorize.
And here's proof Of their good Judgment
Though there are now Two Million people using
Acetylcne Light in America, there have only been tour
Fires from it in one year, against 6605 FIRES from
Kerosene and Gasoline,
There have also been 4691 Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Cas- and $50 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 2o Flrcs from the
SUMS rays, But,-only four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how careful the insurance boaEo was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators and Ill
permitting only the 7c makes that were o0ove sns
fcon, out of the GOO experiments that were once on
the market.
Well-the boom in Acetyene Lighting made lo7rer
prices possible on the material its derived tron VIZ,
Calcium Carbide, material that looks ike ofahlc
Today, Acetyiene Light is a full third eheepey than
Kerosene Light Gasoline Light per Candle Power. Yer
It is not more than half the price OF lectrc Light
nor three foarths that of City Gas.
If can't brovc these statements to your full salts
faction nv name is not "Acetylene Jones.
But Acetyene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light Of the year 52; 1go5 ~. n.,r.st to natural
Sunlight in hcath-giyjng Blue and Violet rays and
because of this will, 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 III dark cellars where no
ray of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow
tzce as fast as similar plants that had only the oun-
light of daytime viz, half the time
That was proven by Cornell University Ill three
months experiment made this very yea.
Now, I've saved lip for tile last point more inn
portant 10 you than all the others about Aeetylcnc
It consumes only one-fourth as much Of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms OF bedrooms
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes
That's tremendous difference III h1etiine' Ha1A
you-three-fourtks of difference.
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 ~ Candc-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
o-ffths of a cent per hour. -.
That's about Ss85 per year, if burned every n'gne
in the year for four steady hours
A Kerosene Lamp of equal. capacity would cost you
third more, viz. thcc-afths OF cent per hour Io'
Kerosene alone, or $S.?5 per year
That's exclusive OF broken lamp chimneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgcry and danger OF
cleaning filling and trimming daily
