Most residences, public buildings nnd amusement houses are overlighted. The old fashioned Idea used to be to caution one against straining his eyes by reading with insufficient light.

tant vision which urban life denies to most of us consists simply of getting into the habit of frequently and regularly removing our gaze momentarily from the reading, writing or other work which we may happen to be doing and looking intently at the most distant point possible.
