DIET AND PHYSICAL CULTURE BY BERNARR MACFADDEN IET is a factor of grave importance in building vigorous health. Vital foods that nourish the body in all its various parts, properly and deliciously prepared, are essential in the attainment and maintenance of buoyant health. Cur school diet will be diversified to make it more appetizing, but white flour products that are the cause of bad teeth, digestive and other disorders, will not be used in this school. Boys usually have hearty appetites and are able to enjoy foods that possess the vital building elements necessary to develop fine bodies. The physical worlc, required of our students, will naturally give them splendid appetites. - We do not consider it necessary to adhere to any strict diet except in cases of illness. Our food is composed of what the average home terms wholesome, appetizing and delicious. One of our special requirements in preparing foods is freshly ground flour. We purchase our own grain, and the flour is ground in our own mill as needed in our own lcitchen. This enables us to furnish bread, rolls, calces and pies that bring out the flavor of the grain in all its appetizing delicacy. The great importance of physical strength is every- where recognized. Without splendid dynamic health one cannot cope with the difficulties with which he must come in contact in the strenuous race for success. Superior physical energies must be baclc of every worth-while effort. ' The school which neglects this important factor can- not turn out graduates who can efficiently meet the outstanding emergencies of life. The struggle for success might be termed a battle, for it is a series of contests and the prizes go to those who are strong enough mentally, physically and morally to be in the winning class. Special attention will be given in our school to the importance of vitalistic physical energies. The body will be developed at the same time the mind and character are molded. There are too many neutral, struggling human ciphers trying to reach a shining goal. They start out in life with a certain amount of enthusiasm but it soon fritters away because they laclc force and the dominating persistence that will never accept failure. But the Flaming spirits that really accomplish some- thing in life are always overflowing with energy. They are alive to the finger tips. They are full of lceen ambitions, splendid enthusiasms, with unflinching de- termination that leads to worth-while achievements. Boys who start out in life with a capital of this sort can be assured victories in abundance. A fine physical personality is an invaluable asset. It helps a young man to advance, no matter where his activities may be. The business man, the lawyer, the doctor, minister, statesman-they all need this tremendously important asset. A clear head-a lceen brain-these factors can be relied on to help win the great prizes of life. 0-3

MENS SANA IN coiaporee SANO fa sauna mind in a sound body - ' has been frequently quoted. It represents a momentous truth that many people fail to recognize. Parents who encourage their boys to give their entire attention to mental development lail to recognize the grave need of a splendid physical foundation, and they are building their boy's career on shitting sands.
