 Charging wrong methods of living as |
 responsible for the largest number of |
 the ills of the human family, Dr. H. F. | Rand of Los Angeles, in a practical l health lecture at the Seventh day Ad- | ventist encampment last night, urged | the adoption of simple habits as a |
 means of defense against disease Since 1 | 1885 Dr. Rand has been connected with l 1 the sanitarium work of Seventh-day 1 Adventists, and has lectured through i out the United States on health topics ! He will be the principal speaker at the i Il o'clock hour at the camp at 10th and 1 Pierce streets today, his subject being
 "The right use of the body"
 "Tuberculosis, cancer, and the many | forms of nervous diseases, are largely l preventable'' declared the doctor in his | lecture last night. Men and women i are breaking in health today, not so ! much because of oVerWork, but because ! of the stress of the age, the indulgence of perverted appetites, the mad rush for | pleasure, for money, and for fashion,
 all of which overturn the simple and ! natural methods of life which would
 build for health, conserve the energy,
 and fortify against the attacks of tissue 1
 ters and tissues of the body. he con
 tinued, are weakened by intemperance,
 dissipation, anxiety, and over-wOrk,
 consequently disease cannot be with
 stood
 The essentials to health, explained
 the speaker, as he outlined what he
 meant by the adoption of a simple
 method of living, include simple foods taken at proper times. Care should be
 exercised not to take food when the body is overly tired. under great nerve strain. which flinders the diges- tive fluids of the body from being sec reted under these nervous conditions. Excessive eating at all times should be avoided This deranges the digestive tract The simple law of health also include plenty of fresh air. plenty of water and a reasonable amount of ex- ercise"
 Speaking of specific diseases, and diet. the doctor continued "We find that people suffering from the disease of the kidneys, one of the main elim inative organs, usually are taking too large an amount of heavy food into their system All physicians recognize at once that meats have to be discard ed. The reason for this is the excessive wastes in the animal food that poison s or destroy the body, and the kidneys are not able to carry it off. This same principle find true with many nerv- s ous diseases, and in fact, any disease in { which the eliminative portion of the 4 body is badly disabled, We recommend \ the non use of this line of diet and the q use of grains. fruits and vegetables, in q which there is none of this waste as a s great advantage in restoring the body q to it's normal condition
 d Mothers in the audience took special 4 notice when the speaker charged the family table as often responsible for the H formation of the liquor habit "The underlying cause of much of the in temperance such as the use of alco- holics. and tobacco in it's different g forms, is due in large degree to the use of highly stimulating foods and condiments, including pepper. mustard a and spices. All these" said the speak CT, create an appetite and desire for strong drinks. This appetite is created in the boy, and in many instances the foundation for drunkenness is laid.'' , Dr Rand declared that every home should be a health institution. We have sanitariums" he explained ''where people are taught what is right diet H how to give simple treatments, and % where the sick are by this rational H UT JileHI restored 10 nedttn. BQt these S health principles could be adopted in every home" The speaker referred briefly to the growth of the sanitarium A idea, and the fact that his denomin- ation are carrying on health institu- S tions in all parts of the world. and are a sending out scores of Christian physi-
 clans and nurses as missionaries to
 other countries.
