Every student needs to understand the relation between plain living and high thinking. It rests with us individually to decide whether our lives shall be controlled by the mind or by the body.
It is frequently urged that, in the selection of food, appetite is a safe guide.

The youth and children should understand the effect of alcohol, tobacco, and other like poisons in breaking down the body, beclouding the mind, and sensualizing the soul.
Tea and coffee, condiments, confectionery, and pastries are all active causes of indigestion. Flesh food also is harmful.
Blessed art thou, O land, when ... thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! Ecclesiastes 10:17
