V. E. Campbell, Inventor of the
Campbell automatic safety gaB cut

aro onjoylng an acqualntlnce with
him. It Is undoubtedly a fact that
he has one of tho most attractive In
vontions of tho ago. HIb contrivance
scorns to bo slmplo, and yet It meets
a need that has boon keenly appar
ront ever slnco tho use of gas us an
Illuminating sub&tanco has been bo
foro tho public. His Invention makes
It Impossible for gas to pass through
a Jet when It 13 not burning, hence
if a light 1b accidentally extinguished
blown out or goes out from tempor
ary dlfllculty with tho gas plant, tho
flow of gaB 1b sure to bo cut off.
Thus It not only provonta gas from
escaping, but In many Instances
saves. Thoro aro thousands of cases
of asphyxiation every year, and this
Invention will forovor put a stop to
It. Evon If a porson wIbIicb to sul
cld6 by tho gas route It would bo Im
possible with this fixture on the
light, Tho Invention la also vory
valuable on a gas or gasollno stove.
In most cities tho latter aro entirely
prohibited, but with this automatic
cut-off thoy aro just as nafo as any
kind of a stovo.
