Illumination Rules for Office and Home Lighting
The article argues glasses rise from misadjusted lighting and poor desk setup in modern offices. It stresses even strong illumination, proper desk placement, and screened lamps to avoid glare and shadows, recommending frosted globes for softer light.
Lighting tips for home offices from early 20th century
The article advises using a frosted globe and a 16 candle power lamp for desk work, noting that light that is too strong strains the eyes. A north light is preferred for softness, with desks near windows arranged to have light from the left. Incandescent lamps should use ground bulbs or shading, and mantle gas lamps should be shaded to reduce glare unless amber toned mantles are used.

A Suggestion In Eugenics For Weds A Policy On Life
A fragment from a 19th or early 20th century column argues for pre marriage health tests and a groom’s life insurance policy as a test of responsibility and health. The author endorses a minimum policy of one thousand dollars and treats it as a civilizational measure, with the idea that health signals financial status and business sense.
