The cost of building a home, furnishing and decorating it, remains the same over the 24 hours whether we light that home poorly or brilliantly. But, the precious two or three hours of evening when the fullest meaning of the word "home" is realized, these are the hours when that home should be made brightest, most attractive, most appreciable, most satisfying and comforting. Sunlit days are well-known to bring cheerful, hopeful thoughts, cloudy days bring gloom,despondency. For the same reason a brightly lighted home promotes cheerfulness, which is another name for happiness. And a badly lighted home per contra induces melancholy, -dissatisfaction, grouch. Many Farmers fail to realize that this latter condition has much to do with desertion of the Country for the City by the sons and daughters they would gladly retain at their otherwise comfortable homes. Light up the Country Home in the evening as cheerfully as the City is lighted and conditions would be promptly different. The additional cost of so lighting would be a small matter in the year compared to the additional cheerfulness and additional enjoyment of every dollar already invested in home-building, furnishing and decoration, the additional health, improved eyesight, and improved temper of the whole family. In no other way can so much more comfort be had for so little more money as in brilliant home-lighting. And no other outlay will go so far toward making young people in the Country stay at home and enjoy it. But, you say, more light means more lamps, and the daily cleaning, filling and wick-trimming, with the attendant smell of stale Kerosene, is now one of the most disagreeable duties around the Countryhome. More lamps mean more of this work, you say, and how will the young people like that! True enough, and it is also true that more Kerosene Lamps mean more vitiation of the air in a home,-more burning up of oxygen, more giving out of poisonous carbonic acid to be breathed. A Kerosene Lamp of 24 candle-power eats up all the life-giving Oxygen in 30 square feet of air every hour it is used and gives out instead 28 square feet of poisonous Carbonic Acid Gas which latter, if breathed pure, would kill in five minutes. So that there are even better reasons than the daily cleaning, trimming and filling, why as few Kerosene Lamps as possible should be used. But, why use Kerosene at all for Home-Lighting? Why are Kerosene Lamps practically no longer used in American Cities or Towns for house-lighting? Why was Kerosene discarded for Gas? Ist-because of its soot, and smell. 2nd-because of the daily cleaning, filling, and trimming of each individual Lamp used with the constant breakages of chimneys, globes and lamps. 3rd-because, with all these drawbacks, Kerosene costs more than Gas, which needs no attention but the turning on of a tap to light up. A City Gas jet of 24 Candle-power light costs 1⁄2 a cent per hour, with Gas at $1.00 per 1000 feet. The same light (24 candle-power) from a Kerosene Lamp would cost ten per cent more, or of a cent per hour for Kerosene alone, at 12 cents per gallon, with nothing figured in for the unpleasant daily cleaning, filling, snuffing, and chimney-wiping of each Lamp and for the average breakages. So it is easy to see why City people and Townspeople cut out the Kerosene Lamps and sent them to the Country. * * * But, now it is time for the Kerosene Lamp to move from the Country Home too. Because, the same reasons that caused City people and Townspeople to discard their Lamps and use Gas instead, must now cause people in the Country to do likewise. The same reasons that brought the Rural Postal Delivery to the Country-dweller's door, and the Rural Telephone into his home must bring Rural Gas-lighting there also. Because, all three of these things are not only R City conveniences, made possible in the Country by progress, but they are proven by use to be economies as well. Economies of time, comfort, and money. Now" what is this Rural Gas-light?" you question. Well, it is the perfected form of Acetylene Gas-light. It can be installed and connected up to every room in the average home in two days' time, without the slightest damage to walls or floors. Then the fixtures and Generator will last a lifetime, or as long as the house. When Acetylene Gas Light is once installed there will be no more lamp cleaning, filling, snuffing, chimney-wiping nor breakages. Instead you will have the most beautiful Light Acetylene Light is so clear and pure, so free from color-fog that you can see pale blue or pale pink by it at night as clearly as you could in daylight. It is so diffusive (farcarrying, wide-spreading) that you can read a newspaper 18 feet away from it when you could not read that same size of type 14 feet away from a Kerosene Lamp or Electric Light of the same identical candle-power. Acetylene is so brilliant, so free from color-fog and soot, that only one-tenth as much flame is needed to give the same amount of light as would be needed of Kerosene light, Gasolene light, or City Gas light. This means that Acetylene light produces only a fraction of the heat given off by Kerosene or Gasolene Lamps,-that it consumes only a fraction of the Oxygen in the air, and produces only a fraction of the poisonous Carbonic Acid Gas given off by Lamps in lighting. * * * Over Two Millions of Americans use Acetylene Gas Light to-day in their homes and not a child's life has yet been lost through it. -no It needs no wicks, chimneys, nor mantles, daily cleaning, filling, snuffing, nor adjusting. You simply turn a small tap on a pretty wallbracket or hanging Gasolier and light up brilliantly or moderately, according to how much you turn the tap. To put out the light you merely turn the tap a little further around and thus cut off the Gas entirely. Once or twice a month only you refill the Generator. And, if you should blow out the light, by accident, this Acetylene Gas is so harmless that you might sleep all night in a room where it escapes without having even a headache in the morning. Moreover, Acetylene Gas Light will cost you less than common Kerosene Light, for the same candle-power, when once installed. A 24 candle-power Acetylene Light will cost you only I cents per night, from 8 o'clock till 11 o'clock. A Kerosene Lamp of the same (24) candle-power will cost you for Kerosene alone (without reckoning breakages and the constant daily cleaning, filling, snuffing, chimney - wiping, etc.), 24 cents per night, from 8 till II o'clock. A 16 candle-power Incandescent Electric Light will cost you 3% cents per night (from 8 till 11 o'clock) when the carbon filament is new (and about twice that when it is burnt down to a breaking point). The Acetylene Light will be brilliant, white, soft, spreading, cool, steady, and free from soot or smell of any sort. The Kerosene light will be yellow, hot, sooty, smelly and air-consuming. The Electric Light will be wavering, alternately rising and sinking, thus tiring and straining the eyemuscles through constant readjustment. * * * Which Light would you have at the same cost?
