CONGER FUNERAL PARLOR WEST MAIN AT NEWTOWN Solicited For Membership In Order of Golden Rule and Declined Is this danger in YOUR present HOME? .EYESTRAIN Is a very real danger. Few of us realize that we pay dearly for every hour we strain our eyes. The tragedy is that we seldom know that we are misusing our eyes. Attempting to read, work, or study in poor or glaring light is the cause of most eyestrain. Often the penalty for eyestrain is not paid until later years. Than it is too late. Impaired vision in most cases cannot be corrected. hW"' Vjf, L 1 i. V GOOD LIGHT PROTECTS YOUR SIGHT The National Society for the Prevention of Blind ness has this to say about the relation between good light and good sight: "No one ivill deny that poor vision . . . ivhether it be due to insufficient light or to uncorrected eye defects. ..is one of the principal factors in causing fatigue, not only of the eyes but of the entire body. Eyestrain continued over considerable periods of time results in permanent impairment of vision. The vision of the best eyes in the world would be come defective where there is glare or insufficient illumination." WHAT IS GOOD LIGHTING Good lighting is called Restful Light. It permits the eyes to open naturally ... at rest . . . without squinting, scowling or frowning ... the cause of many wrinkles. The basic fundamental of Restful Light Is the elimination of sharp contrasts; that is, bright, glaring lights and deep shadows. With Restful Light, every part of the room i3 well lighted as well as your book or work before you. When the right amount of light is properly distributed eye strain is avoided. Look to good lighting if you would keep the precious heritage of good eyesight. HOW TO GET RESTFUL LIGHT It is often difficult for the average person to achieve Restful Light unaided. To help you, we maintain a Home Lighting Service. The sole pur pose of this service is to help you get the most ben efit from every penny you spend for electricity.
