HEALTH LECTURES

Importance Of Diet Large crowds continue to attend the health via fooil lectures of Edward Julius Price and Maureen Morris Price. The fact that so many citizens attend the meetings indicates that the frequent articles on food and health have awakened popular interest in the question of how much truth is there in the saying that many people dig their graves with their teeth. Mr. Price states that though be and his wife came to New Zealand as comparative strangers, 'n two months they have received nearly £2OOO on behalf of the Health Education Society toward the health society’s proposed building in Wellington. ■ There are many New Zealanders who claim to have had wonderful results by changing their eating habits. Mr. Price states that in their lectures throughout England, the United States. South Africa and Australia they did not meet anything like the support they are* receiving in New Zealand, and that the large number of young people who are dominated by the idea of prevention of disease instead of waiting to get ill and then struggling for a cure is remarkable. These Britishers are lecturing to-night at 8 o’clock in Nimmo’s Hall and to-mor-row night at the King’s Theatre at 7.30.
