To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any ere Of these 70
just as it permitted houses to be plped tor City CAS-
OR wired for Electricity, under proper c anGt to know
whether or not these 70 different makes OF A'etylene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills, II IRE OF TX
plosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Oel1er-
ators they authorize.
And, here's a proof of their good Judgment:
Though there are now Two Million people using
Acetylene Light in America, there have only been Jour
Fires from it in one year, against 6005 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $40 Fires from Candies.
Besides these there have been &c Fires from tile
Suns rays, But,-only fonr Fires from Acetyie1e.
That shows how cdrefn! the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylenc Generators, and III
permitting only the 70 makes that were G5oae s"S-
ficton, out of the 600 experiments that were once on
the market.
Wel1,-thc boom in Acetylene Lighting made lo'2er
trices possible on the material it is derived from, VIZ,
Calcium Carbide, a material that looks like GRANITE
'' Today, Acetylene Light is a full thrd eAsafey than
Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power
1t is not more than halt the price OF Llectflc Light
nor three-fowths that Of City Gas.
If 1 can't tro1e these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene lone"
B.t A~cetylene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
It IS also the Whiiest Li s." he n G;rsst to 1,1 natural 1nd
because of this, with is freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes.
1t is so much like real Sunlight that 1t has made
plants grow "a hours pes day in dark cellars where no
raw of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow
t7gice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sun
light of daytime, viz, half the time.
That was proven by Cornell University III a three
months experiment made this very year.
Now, I've saved up for the last a point more in-
portant to you than all the others about Acetylere
Light. ., -.
1t consumes only o~ne-foarth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes.
That's a tremendous difference IN a lifetime, marx
o1-three-fourth OF a difference.
Because,-Orygeu is Life.
And every bit of. Oxygen stolen from the lungs OF
Women, Children and Men, through! Lighting is a
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs yod only
f1vo- ffths of a cent per hour.
That's about $585 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 a cent per hour fof
Kerosene alone, or So, per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp ch,tn1eys, 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 a HORSEPOWER or storekeeper.
Tell me how many rooms youv We got and LII tell You
what it will cost to light them with brilliant, beautiful,
Sanitary, eye-saving Acety1ene. ..
