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.

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.
