Valentine Day, Wed. 14th SWEM'S Gift Shop VICTIM of a GREAT WRONG s fl'M , i& (,', r,j THE CHILD who is subjected to eyestrain caused by poor lighting at home is a victim of a very great wrong. During the first seven or eight years, a child's eyes are in a state of development. If they are over strained during this formative period ... an im pairment of vision is likely to result that will handicap the child throughout life. Nearsightedness, squinting, undue fatigue, bad posture, are often due to eyestrain in childhood. And poor light is one of the most common causes of eyestrain. If you have children in your home, guard their eyes by providing good lighting. 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 is 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.
