HEART RIGHT

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart

This is a serious matter to the hu5-

heart trouble is caused by an unex.
pected thing, and can be corrected, if
taken in time and properly treated

Use of the Acetylene Light in Forc-

The similarity between the quality
of acetylene gaslight and sunlight, az
evidenced by their effect ON plant
growth, is strikingly shown by series
of experiments recently made at Cor
nell university. Says the Acetylene
Journal, in a notice of these expert
ments:
THE close approximation of the
light value of acetylene to that of the
sun was years ago demonstrated by
spectrum analysis. 1t has remained
for later experimenters to test the rays
of the gas on plant growth, for deter
mining the degree of resemblance be-

Mr.. Macpherson practiced the remedy

Then came the gas Inspector on his
