TO make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes ,.

out extra charge, which used any one OF these 20
Acetylenc Generators it had found safe and effective,
Just it permitted houses to be pped for City Gas,
or wired for Elect, icity under proper conditions.
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether not these 20 different makes of Acetylene
Generators absolutely Safe TO use,
Because, they have 10 pay the bills If Fire or Ex-
poson occurs. from any ohe of the Acetylene Gener-
ators they authorize
And here's a proof of their good judgment.
Though there now Two Million people using
Aceylene Light in America, there have only been four
Fires from it in year, against SSo5 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 46oI Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $40 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 30 Fires from the
Suns rays, But-ony four Fires from Acetyenc.
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in
permitting" only the 70 makes that we're above sns-
ticion out of the Goo experiments that were once on
the market.
Well-the boom in Acetyene Lighting made lo,ycr
Prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today Acctyienc Light is a full third ehcoper than
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light per Candle Power.
1t is not more than half the price OF Electric Light,
nor three fonrths that of City Gas
II can't trosc these statements 10 your full salts
faction my name is not "Acctyene Jones'"
But Acetyene is than the safest and cheapest
1t is also the IGhiira Light-thc nearest to natural
Sunlight in heah,givin Blue, and Violet rays, and
1t is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where no
ray OF Sunlight could reach them. II made them grow
fscicc fast similar plants that had only the Sum
light OF day time viz, half the time.
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
portant you than all the others about Aceiylene
Light.
1t consumes only one fourth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air OF Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene OF City Gas-Light consumes.
That's a tremendous difference in lifetime, mark
you-three- four,hS of difference.
Becausc,-OrygcH 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.
II Candle Power Acctylcne Light costs you only
f;ro-ffihS OF a cen, per hour.
That's about SsSS per year, II burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
A Kerosene Lamp oi equal capacity would cost yon
a third more. viz, Mrrcffihs OF q cent per hour i0r
Kerosene alone. or $S7s per year.
That's exclusive OF broken lamp climneys, new
wcks and the everlasting drudgery and danger Of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
/ want to bro9c these figures TO you, Reader II you
are house-owner or storckecpcr.
Tell me how many you've got and III tell yon
what il will cost 10 light them with brilliant, beautiful,
Sanitary, cye-saving Acctylenc.
