there are many more who ought to

teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-

ly stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent n note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at

C. found that Alice had never been
able TO see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such n condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but In our Ameri-
can homes 1t is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow. insufficient light of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney. is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The Pickering
light from a coal gas Jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as 1t usually Is, has al un-
steadiness due to variations In power.
and glare peculiarly trying TO the
delicate nerves OF sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylone gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
a clear white. unwaverinE light. very
brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so
nearly like the rays OF the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight.
Fortunately. acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced. and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and Installed In any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be ripcd to convenient POINTS In the
house where a light Is needed. 1t Is
then lighted and extinguishcd and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes. churches.
schools and institutions Of all kinds.
and 1t is reasonable 10 expect that as
Its use In the home Increases. there
will be fewer defective eyes, par;icu-
larry among children Poor oversight
and the many Ills resulting ,herefrom
Will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use OF this new illuminant.
