BRIGHT COLORS GIVE RELIEF

Simple Method by Which Desk Worker* May Avoid Incalculable Injury to the Eyes. Hie constant use of the eyes on white paper will In time weaken them and make It necessary to seek other employment, or resort to some remedy. Bookkeepers, proofreaders and those compeUed to gaze for hours at a stretch on a white surface, should have a number of bright colors on their desk or near at hand upon which the gaze should be allowed to rest at short periods when the mind Is busy with some mental struggle. The bright colors will give a relief to the long, constant strain on the eye, and It will be astonishing to those who have never resorted to any such remedy to note the relief secured. i Green should predominate. Yellow and red with shades of pink should be used. Bright-colored blotters and brighttinted mottoes or picture cards with birds and flowers as well as scroll designs will produce the most relief to weary eyes. Even a bouquet with green foliage combined with the flowers will give satisfactory results, but this Is not as permanent as brightly colored prints that will not fade for a long time.
