To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge which used any one Of these 20
Acetyicne Generators had found safe and etectve
Just as permitted houses to be plped tor cfy Oas'
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to kno"
whether or not these 70 different makes OF Acetycne
Generators absolutely Safe to use
Because, they have to pay the bills If Fire OF *
poson OCCURS from any one or the AcetyleHe Neliei
ators they authorize.
And, here's proof Of their good Judgment.
THOUGH there are now Two Million people using
Acetylene Light in America there have only been tour
Fire; from It in one year. against 1866 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 46o1 Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Cas- and $50 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the
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 abo0e sas-
biciou out of the GOO experiments that were once on
the market
WelL-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lo7rer
Prices possible the material it is derived tro VIZ
Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Granite
TODAY Acetylene Light is full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light per Candle Power:
1t is not more than half the price OF Electric Light
nor three -foarths that of City Gas.
If can't brove these statements TO your 1un saI'S
faction nv name is not "Acetylene Jones"
But Acetylene is than the safest and eheapess
Light of the year 1905. ,
1t IS also the w ftfeSt LlSnl-lle W ''"'
Sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays :sno
because of this with it's freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest Of all Artificial Light: on the Eye;
It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "A hours per day dark cellars "nere no
ray of Sunlight could reach them It made them grow
t7cice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sum
light of daytime, viz, halt the time .hr
That was proven by Cornell University IN three
months experiment made this very year.
Now, I've saved up for the last point more I'M
Light. e 49,, ,.+,,
It consumes only ne-foarth as much OF the vital
Driven from the Air of Living or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes =
That's tremendous difference in lifetime marx
you-three- -fourths of a difference.
Because-Oxygen is Life.
And everv bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs OF
Women Children and Men, through Lighting IS
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
tayo-ffths of cent per hour. -.
That's about SsS5 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more, viz: hreeffths OF cent per hour Io1
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year. .
That's exclusive of broken lamp cImneys new
wicks and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning, filling and trimming daily
want to brove these figures to you, Reader, II you
are house-owner or storekeeper.
