for the defeat.

New Lighting System v7
M. L. Greider & Co. who have
recently taken the agency for the
Acetylene Gas Generators, recently
installed a 40-candle lighting
machine at the home of Miss Katie
Snyder. This is certainly an up-to
date lighting system and is even
better than gas or electricity.
The plant with its electrical ap-
pliance, is certainly all right, and
the lights can be turned on by a
small switch at each burner same as
an electric light while some have
been installed that can be lighted or
extinguished with push buttons.
Acetylene, while 1t can only be
consumed in small burners, owing
to its richness, gives an intensely
brilliant flame, and its rays difiuse
to a fargreater extent tlan any
other known illuminant. It has
been shown by actual test that
Acetylene has twelve times the
power of ordinary gas. A govern-
ment test recently made, shows that
a 28 candle power Acetylene light
can be seen 45 miles. It emits no
odor when burning, the flame is
clear white, steady and without
smoke, Rooms lighted by Acety-
lene are more wholesome and have
pure and more refreshing atmos-
phere, stimulating the dweller to a
greater agility of thought and action
than rooms lighted by lamps breath-
ing out their carbonic acid gas.
They claim that no other illumi-
nant is as safe as Acetylene, and to
bear us out in this claim we quote
from the New York Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
carefully compiled for 1901. ¢Al-
though there were in use over 90,000
Acetylene gas machine during that
year, not a fire is reported to have
been caused by the use of Acety-
lene,” In comparing the cost of
different lighting systems we would
say: 28 candle power city gas costs
11 mills per hour, 28 candle power
kerosene costs about 9 mills per
hour. 28 candle power electric
light costs about 1 1-2 cents per
hour, 28 Candle Power Asetylene
sosts about 4 mills per hour. The
Generator is set in the cellar where
water will not freeze as the gas is
ouly held in the machine by the
water,
The machine being automatic you
can use one or all the lights at the
same time and no trouble to turn
them off or on when you like, they
are always ready, day or night.

A Sure Corn Cure.
The United States Trade Reports,
a magazine published at Cincinnatti,
Ohio, devcted to the financial, agri-
cultural and mechanical interests of
the United States, the
following:
‘“‘Having been asked to recommend a
sure cure for corns, we made a thorough
investigation of the subject, and, as a result
we are now prepared to state that the corn
cure which we find to be entirely reliable,
safe to use and absolutely certain as a cure
is “Garber’s Corn Cure,” This is a liquid
preparation, put up in bottles, with brush
attached, and if used according to direc-
tions it will instantly relieve all pain from
corns and speedily cure them entirely.
This preparation is sold direct by the Mt,
Joy Mercantile Company, of Mount Joy,
Pa., for the small sum of twenty-five cents,
postpaid. We can assure all interested
readers that there is nothing in the market
that can equal “Garber’s Corn Cure’ in
efficiency and reliability. A single appli-
cation will prove its merits, anda few
days’ treatment will suffice to cure the
worst corn. .
This investigation was made without
their knowledge or consent, Neither was
any compensation offered us, We have no
personal interestin making this recommen-
dation, except to furnish our readers with
positive and reliable information upon this
important subject of personal comfort and
relief from those painful and distressing
annoyances to which so many people are
subject.” }
