CHANGE OF DIET

After all else fails you and you find yourself somewhat perplexed, make a radical change in your diet. First of all cut out all food, and for several days confine yourself to drinking hot water with a pinch of cayenne pepper added to each cup. Sip the water slowly and as hot as can be borne. Keep this up for three days and break the water cure by using a wine glass full of the juice of white grapes every two hours and a half for a day, adding thereafter what vegetables may appeal to you, either raw or baked, and confine yourself to as limited a selection as possible, say two or three kinds at a time.

If desired, you may go on a milk cure along with the grape juice treatment, adding to each wine glass full of grape juice a tumbler full of milk. It may be well to add to the milk a pinch of borax, and twice a day to add to a tumbler full of milk one tablespoonful of vichy water.

A milk and grape juice cure to be effective is to last three weeks, and thereafter raw vegetables and raw cereals are to be added

while the quantity of milk as well as the grape juice are being diminished. The grape juice has to be taken first, followed by a few swallows of milk, adding only as much of vegetables and cereals as needed to still hunger and not to please or tease the appetite.

YOU DO NOT EAT ENUF

That's the ticket handed you everywhere. If you fail to indulge, or do not look your best, or your weight falls below par a trifle your immediates join the chorus: "You do not eat enuf."

You are all in the wrong about quantities. You should not say "You do not eat enuf." You are to say: "You do not assimilate your eats."

Therein lies the secret of health-assimilation. If we assimilate what we eat we need little and that little does us good. To improve assimilation we must first of all learn to fast for at least one day out of seven, and thereafter eat only when really hungry. The food selected must create vitamines. Vitamines are found in all of the green vege

The

tables. Such vegetables eaten fresh and in the form of salads will release the vitamines and charge all other selections with the elements conducive to the calling out of vitamines. The more vitamines are created all the less food is required, as the bill is filled. due to the increase of assimilation. better and more normal the assimilation the more vitality, energy, buoyancy, and vigor to the nerves, blood and sinews, the more vril fills the whole of our system, and we are in a position to cope with any and every condition.

Be sure you have your dish of fruit in the morning, a little rolled oats and your glass of milk, tea, or black coffee.

At noon take your combination salad, with or without dressing, a shredded wheat biscuit or matzos.

At eventide again have some nerve building or blood toning vegetable followed by baked vegetables, a steamed dish or two, and satisfy your craving for dessert with a pancake.

If change is the spice of life, then factory hands need field work to give them sap and

savor.

CHEMICAL REACTION

Such topic is of interest to both the young and the advanced in years, as it involves the safety of one's own personal life, and here, as in all other pursuits, the slogan is "Safety First." Self-preservation is but another term for the same thing, only not as farreaching as the subject of chemical reaction, in which latter case we are confronted with problems of the inevitable, which to stay-the death blow, of course-has been and still is the bane of speculative science.

Many and varied are the themes and hypothesis advanced on the subject of "chemical reaction" and there is not a student but that sufficient curiosity is aroused to give the subject matter some serious consideration.

Like many more problems that baffle the thinker we would at the end of a discourse on "chemical reaction" exclaim with the Pentecostal inquirer: "What must I do to be saved or be spared untimely decay?"

While scientists and theorists squabble as to the whence, where and how it happened thus, that "chemical reaction" sets in once the youth mark is passed, we prefer to at once

L

get to work and arrest a state as that of "chemical reaction." True, all such means should have entered our curriculum while enjoying the buoyancy of youth. Still, those who take heed now will never regret the call and its timely observation. Even to the advanced in years comes the old adage, “Better late than never." Of course, we may have to get to work and get to it without further delay. We may more religiously pursue our exercises and observe our daily walks of life. But anything not worth the effort is not worth having.

We all more or less linger in bed upon retiring and waste our time with the employ of imaginings, or recapitulate occurrences less conducive to our mental development. Instead of lying there without any aim or purpose we may as well do some exercising.

First of all, empty the lungs; adjust the body so as to give freedom to the chest. Keep on relaxing until a feeling of peace and repose comes upon you. Place arms into comfortable position, now wiggle one toe and corresponding finger. Go thru them all until all ten toes and fingers have been exercised.
