WINTER SEASON Is a time of great activity, mental as well as physical. Good, wholesome, substantial food is to be preferred. We find in grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables all we need. It all depends upon our selection and the proper combinations. It is not wise to eat too heavily nor too hastily. Take your time. When tired from overwork, we will find a bath before our dinner the best tonic. To keep our windows in the bedchamber open during sleep will be of great benefit to us, and aid digestion as well as tone up the nerves. We are to use plenty of bedding, but it must be of the lightest texture, while our nightgowns should be linen. A good, clean, comfortable bed and a well ventilated room is as necessary to the recuperation of the organs of the body as clean dishes and proper selected foods. The moment we notice a negative condition in our mental or physical state we will do well to abstain from further food at once. Colds are quickly arrested thru abstinence from food and hot baths. Make it a point to prepare all your salads raw, and use red beets, turnips, carrots, parsnips and potatoes freely when of a hard-working disposition, but confine yourself to a great deal of fruit if largely mentally engaged. Never change underwear from light to heavy. Wear very light underwear, the same as in summer. You will never have any colds, nor ever get rheumatism or consumption. LENTEN SEASON. After months of feasting and high living, Lenten season reminds us of the time for purification, and it is well to fast at intervals, followed by a very light and simple diet. Those not abstaining from food entirely will do well to live upon fruit juices largely, like grapefruit, oranges with lemon juice, or apple souffles made from two grated apples and the juice of one orange, flavored with a dash of nutmeg. Cream may be used with fruit juices. It is well to get daily from two to six grapefruits and if hungry eat a little matzos, or health sticks made from whole wheat flour or rice flour with a small quantity of finely-ground raw peanuts. Pineapples should be used sparingly during Lenten season. All the tropical fruits as they come should be used alternately as tonics and eliminators. Man should live in this way for about forty days and then prepare for the Easter season, beginning with Palm Sunday, to eat very sparingly, but tone up the stomach with absolute fast on Good Friday. Saturday should be a day of preparation and either that day or Sunday morning should be used as the day of regeneration by going out into the country, taking a plunge in a running stream and after being dressed partake of a glass of good old wine. Going home with rejoicing, following one's own method of religious devotion.
