Would love and pity smother.

"I employed several good doctors,

"Eight months ago a friend sug

The Dealer Was Wise.
To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes
TAKE a common Clay Pipe.
Put a simple "Acetylene" Gasburntr on its
stem.
Bind the two in position with a tight-fitting pirce
of Rubber llosc.
Then till the bowl of the pipe with fine-ground Cal
cium Carbide.
Next tic a rag over licad ot the bowl to kcrp in the
Carbide.
Now put the pipe into a Glass of
atcr, as in picture. 'O 0 '.

There you have a complete GaS'
plant for 25 rents.
Touch a match to the Tlnrnrr
and you'll get a beautiful White Gas
light.
Of course, this is onlv nn experi
ment, but it shows the wonderful Jim
flinty of Acetylene Lighting.
That very simplicity gave Acetylene
ll
Z VT -IL1 11 I 1
Light a setback, at first.
It seemed so simple to turn Calt ium Carbide into
Gas-light that over 000 different kinds of "tanks" and
"Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented, and
marketed for the purpose, by about as many different
people.
Well, the thing to be expected certainly happened !
About 5.V of these "Acetylene Machines" had been
invented and sold by people who knew more about
Tiimare than they did about lias-making.
The "Calcium Carbide" was all right all the time,
but 5.to of the machines for turning it into Gas were
all wrong all the time.
So Acetylene (ias "got a bad name." though it is
clear enough noir that it never deserved it at any time.
It was like selling Wood Steves to bum Hard Coal
in, and then blaming the Coal for nut burning.
Lots of things happened to grieve the Owners of
these 5 .to makes of alleged "Acetylene Machines."
lint very few aeeidents occurred from them even in
the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance,
among, "Generator" Makers. '
Of course, a gun will eo off unexpectedly, now and
then, if the trigger be pulled by a person who "didn't
know it was loaded."
Hut, that's no fault of the Ammunition is it?
Well, finally the Insurance Companies got after
tlice sto odd makes nf "Acetylene Machines" that
wouldn't Acetlate, ami the Insurance Hoard made an
investigation of all Generators that were submitted 'to
them.
Then, nut of the doo odd "Machines" patented,
onlv about 70 were "permitted" by the Insurance Hoard
to be used.
Oh, what a howl was there!
Hv "permitted" I mean that lrV Insurance Boarfl
was willing that any building should be Insured, with
out extra charge, which used any nnf of tl rse 70
AccHlenc Generators it had found safe, ami effective,
just as it pcrnntud houses to be piped for City lias,
or wired for Klcctricity, under proper conditions.
Now, the Insurance Companies cii'if to know
whether or not these To different makes of Acetylene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or F'x
plosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Gener
ators they authonc.
And, here's a proof of their good judgment.
Though there arc now Two Million people using
Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four
l'ires from it in one year, against Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 4?) Fires front l'.lectricity,
IO" l'ires from City (ias, and .s.'o I-ires from Candles.
Besides these there have been .'( Fires from the
Sun's rays. Hut. only four l'ires from Acetylene.
That shows boy careful the Insurance Hoard was
in its cxam111.1t i.i of Acetylene Generators, and ill
"permitting" only the 70 makes that were ahove sus
fieion, out of the Ooo mucins that were once on
the market.
Well. the boom in Acetvlene Lighting made loiter
frices possible on the material it is ihrncd from, vi.,
Calcium Carbide, a material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today. Acetylene Light is a full thud eheaper than
Kerosene Light, or Gasoline 1 ight. per Candle Power.
It is not more than half the price of l.kitric Light,
nor three fourths that of City Gas.
If 1 can't fv;r these statements to your full satis
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones."
Hut Acetylene is m,rr tlw:ti the safest and eheafest
Light of the year Ipiv
It is also the Whitest Light the nearest to natural
Sunlight in health giving lilur anil Violet ravs, and
because of tins, with its freedom from linker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light on the I'.yes.
It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow l hours per day in tl.it k cellars where no
ray of Sunlight could reach them. It m ule them crow
t'.tiee as fast as similar plants that had only the Sun
light of day time, i., half the time.
That was proven hv Cornell I 'niversity in a three
months' experiment made this very year.
.
Now, I've saved up for the lat a point more im-
fortant to you than all the others about Acetylene
.ight. .
It consumes only one-fourth as much of the vital
0.ry.s.vii from the Air of Living rooms or lied rooms,
as either Kerosene or City (ias-Light consumes.
That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime, mark
you- three fourths of a difference.
Because,- Ci v'cii is Life.
Ami every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of
Women, Children mid Men, tliroiieh Lighting, is a
loss that ran never be made good again.
