The Wingham Advance-Times, 1945-11-29, Page 6Hello, Homemakers; Home lighting by electricity makes our work easier, but we are often careless in failing to use it to the best advantage. Insuffi- cient or improper lighting can be guarded against. Use a table lamp -placed so that the light shines on the work in band from the left side. If there is not a close enough outlet, use an extension cord, Inside frosted bulbs 211.1 whitelined shades are highly re- iammencled, Sixty to 100 watt bulbs are suggested for tedious work when the light source is three or four feet away. A good light will prevent un- ..necessary fatigue and strain from .cleaning cupboards, painting, scrub- king, ironing or any household chore, TAKE A TIP 1. Dark bulbs and dark shades ab- sorb light. 2. Coloured lights are decorative but -do not give as much light as white ones, 3. Clean lighting fixtures occasion- ally to obtain maximum amount of light and life of the bulb., 4. Keep a few bulbs in stock for re- placements.
