To make Cheap Gas7light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any ore Of these 20
Acetyene Generators it had found SAFE and effective,
Just as permitted houses be piped for City Gas,
or wired Tor Electricity, under proper conditions,
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 70 different makes of Acetycne
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex-
posion occurs, from any one of the Aceylene Gener
ators they authorize
And, here's proof Of their good judgment
. hough there are now Two Million people using
Acetyiene Light IN America there have only been four
rlres from i N one year, against 1906 Fires from
There have also been 46or Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Gas and $50 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 20 makes that a6ovc sas-
feion, out of the Goo experiments that were once
the market.
Well,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made io7rey
ftiees possible on the material It derived FROM viz
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today, Acetylene Light is a full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.
1t is more than half the price OF Electric Light,
nor hree-fowthS that of City Gas.
If can't proye these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Aceylene jones'
But Acetyene is than the sofest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
It is also the Whifest Lght-tfe nearest to natural
Sunlight in health-givng 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 III hours per day in dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them 1t made them grow
f1cice fast similar plants that had only the Sum
light of daytime viz, half the time s sf
That was proven by Cornell University in three
months experiment made this very year.
Now I've saved tip for the last point more inn
portant to you than all the others about Aceylene
Light.
Il consumes only one-fonyth as much Of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living or bedrooms,
either Kerosene or City Gas-Lght consumes.
That's tremendous difference in lifetime, mark
you-three-fourths of difference.
Because,-OxygeH 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.
ri Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
tzVo-ffths of ceptper hour
That's about $5.Ss 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-ffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or S875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp ch;mneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
