apples, pears, peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, figs, dates, prunes and bananas all contain varying substances that man’s complex system needs to uphold vitality to the highest degree. All salads should contain a sprinkling of fresh cut grass as purification for blood and skin diseases.
 The system requires some fats, and olives are rich in vegetable fat, although the body can be well supplied with it from milk and butter.
 (6). To prepare the food you eat for digestion it must first be thoroughly saturated with the saliva within the mouth. This is done by mashing the different substances into a watery pulp by use of the teeth. Therefore, each mouthful of food should be chewed at least fifty times before it is swallowed in order to mix it properly for the digestive organs.
 (7). As the largest part of the human body is made up of water, and, as water power, derived from suction and pressure, is what moves the currents that carry the building materials throughout the body, therefore water must be continuously furnished for that purpose. So a large glass of water should be drunk at least once every wakeful hour. No other liquid is necessary for good health, although a glass of pure milk, fresh from the cow, may be sipped up occasionally. Putting other liquids into the body is contrary to Natural Law and is harmful to its organs as well as the cells which make up the mental system.
 (8). As the mental system of man is made up of trillions of delicate cells, operated with power machinery by the constructive menorgs, any outside gaseous particles absorbed from the fumes of liquor, tobacco or dope of any kind, acts as poison that incapacitates both the menorgs and the power plants which they operate. Therefore, to imbibe alcoholic beverages or to smoke dope in any form aids and abets the disorgs to tear down and destroy the body of man. The introduction of cigarettes has caused the deterioration of the American people to a very low order and unless this pernicious habit is abandoned soon this country will follow in the footsteps of China, which has fallen from the leading country of the world to a dilapidated tail-ender among nations. It is physiologically impossible for any human being to grow up clean and vigorous, according to Natural Law, if addicted to the smoking habit. Every smoker helps to tear down his country as well as himself or herself.
 (9). As the power to move the muscles of the body is caused by uniting oxygen gas from the air breathed with the digestive fuel foods that cause oxidation, then it becomes absolutely necessary for man to breathe into his body a large quantity of pure, fresh air in order that the oxygen will be passed along through the blood streams to every cell in his body that he may be able to develop his full strength through the use of it. Therefore, one should live and exercise in the open air as much as possible during the day, and sleep in a cool, well ventilated room at night. Under no circumstances should one sleep in
