At Adventists Camp Less
Than Average
(Wooster News)

One of the most interesting places
in the big camp of the Seventh Day
Adyentists at the fair grounds is the
big eating house. the first floor of
the grand stand Here all the campers
who did not come prepared, get their
eatables.
1t is divided off into three parts, the
whole being under the supervision of
DIR. Vernon. Before becoming a teach
er among the Adventists DR.. Vernon
was a physician in Cleveland, and
of the most ardent vegetarians in the
state.
One of the three compartments of
the eating headquarters is the dining
hall. Another part is the restaurant
and the third is the grocery store.
The dining hall is very systemati-
cally arranged. AS the diners enter
they pass table and each picks up
knife iork and spoon. AT the next
table they take whatever they want
to eat Each food is placed in an
individual dish, small bowl shaped
affair, not overly expensive, but very
cleanly and altogether satisfactory.
When they have chosen what they
want to eat they are on the way to-
wards the dining room proper where
tables are awaiting for them. Before
they reach the tables however, they
pass young lady who checks off each
article they have taken for their meals.
They pay from two to five cents per
dish, an average of three cents. Each
meal costs them from 10 to 20 cents
pretty cheap eating, but very good
at that.
The dishes are composed wholly
of vegetable foods, nothing in which
meat is used in any form being used.
DIR. Vernon explained why vegetarlans
are more healthy than other people.
Every movement we make causes
some part of some muscle in our
bodies to die. In animals 1t is the
same so that when we eat meat we
eat the dead parts of tissue as we'll
as the living and this is harmful to
u.s." he says.
