Filtered Gaslight For Rural Homes
Acetylene Gaslight is a natural light.
In fact it is plain, everyday, world-old
Sunlight. But it is Sunlight muzzled
so that you can use it as “soft” or as
brilliant as you choose, by the mere turn
ing of a tap on the chandeliers, or by the
use of plain white glass globes.
Moreover, Acetylene is practically
filtered light from which all useless or
injurious color, soot, or excessive heat
factors are eliminated.
On this account an Acetylene flame,
one-tenth the size of that frotq Kerosene,
Gasoline or City Gas, gives as much
reading light as ten-tenths of these other
IDuminants. Which means that Acety
lene produces only a fraction of the heat,
air-consumption and Carbonic Acid Gas
poisoning which other lights produce.
About two days* labor will install a

You can use Pilot Acetylene too, as fuel in
your kitchen range—clean, concentrated gas
fuel that will do away entirely with coal

READY TO DO YOUR TILING
Ab I have stated before, I am
ready to do your tiling, for I can con
vince and prove that hand tiling is
the only safe and proper way. The
machine man don’t publish that he
cuts a hole an inch larger than the
tile he puts in. If he would publish
all of the facts, the people would
come to know what I have told them
is the truth. He will deny my state
ments. He charges me with being
ignorant, but the way he tries to
make people believe that his machine
work is the best way to lay tiling,
only proves that he is more ignorant
than I am. You farmers who need
tiling, better see me at once, and
have your tile laid by a man who
knows how to handle a spade and lay
drain tile the way it should be laid.
You can dig up any of my work any
time, and it will be found in good
condition. The machine man will
not let you do that. So folks be care
ful. There is a reason. tf.
Albert Ceranek.
