THE AUTUMN SEASON
Reminds us of our opportunity in consuming large quan-
tities of fruits, particularly grapes. In eating grapes for
medicinal purposes, and that is really the object of our
eating grapes, we should take our time. Eat slowly,
masticate them well, but do not swallow the pulp. Grapes
eaten in large quantities will cure all intestinal troubles,
dissolve gravel and stone, arrest cancerous and fibroidal
growths. Used in connection with large quantities of
fresh milk will cure consumption. Eat every kind of
fruit and in large quantities, leaving just enough hunger
to still the same with a crust of bread.
Do not change weight of underwear with the increase
of colder weather. Simply eat a trifle hardier foods and
keep more lively, either with work or in the agitation of
such amusements that prove an honor to the community.

DIETARY IN A NUTSHELL.
HOW TO EAT AND DRINK.
The sum and substance of all the science of dietetics is
this :
When on a fruit diet, you should blend the sweet fruit
with a smaller percentage of sub-acid or acid fruit.
When on a vegetable diet, the earth salts which are
sweet in taste and flavor must be subdued by tL: addition
of vegetable juices of an acid or sub-acid nature.
When on a nut diet, the nuts must be thoroly masti-
cated, and the pulp, absolutely tasteless and gummy,
should be expelled from the mouth.
When on a grain diet, the grain must be used raw and
masticated well, employing the jaws to a great extent, but
do not swallow more than one-third of the pulp.
When living on a mixed diet, remember that grain gives
substance, while the addition of a few nuts occasionally
or in season adds heat. By using the fruit at one time
and the vegetables at another, they will furnish the
eliminative tendencies.
Live on grains and vegetables for a day or more, then
alternate with fruits for the same period, more or less, in
accordance to the condition of the organic action.
If the system is filled with acids it is best to abstain
from fruits. If laden with salts and minerals, then it is
best to abstain from vegetables until the system is ad-
justed to a greater degree.
Never cater to artificial v/ants. They are mere sugges-
tions of abnormal conditions that enslave our higher
natures and burden our life energies with unnecessary
trouble. There is no possibility to overcome these unless
we retrace our steps and return to nature with a humble
spirit and a contrite heart.
Learn how little it is necessary to eat and how much
less you need to drink, as thereby you will learn the
secret of the science of right living, which is the key that
182
unlocks the problem of all questions of life — the question
of the economy of the Infinite thru individual elfort.
Appetite is the result of uncontrolled senses and a
disease of organic intelligence.
Stop eating for a time and nature will do the rest.
Hunger alone, following a good day's work, determines
perfect digestion of that food which is least inviting to a
pampered palate, but of value to him who knows of its
filling the bill.
