August meeting focuses on ‘Godly Vegetables’

Members of Laureate Mu chapter of Beta Sigma Phi met at the home of Gloria Stutes on August 4.
Following the opening ritual and Pledge of Allegiance, the hostess presented a program she called “Godly Vegetables.”
Stutes based the program on what was once called “The Doctrine of Signatures,” which states that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or function, and that this pattern acts as a sign as to the benefit the food provides the eater. She gave several examples of these whole food signatures.
A sliced carrot, for example, looks like a human eye with a pupil, iris and radiating lines, and science shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
Likewise, a tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. Tomatoes are heart and blood food.
A walnut looks like a little brain, with a left and right hemisphere and upper and lower cerebrums, and walnuts are said to be good for brain function. Kidney beans look like the human kidneys and they help maintain kidney function. Onions look like body cells, and research shows that they help clear waste materials from all of the body’s cells. They even produce tears which wash the layers of the eyes.
Several other examples were given, and Stutes concluded with the reminder that fruits and vegetables are good for you and can save your life.
During the business portion of the meeting, reports were given by each chairman. Soft Scrub cleaner was collected for Miss Helen’s Soup Kitchen.
The next meeting will be held at the home of Nancy Tislow, and members are asked to bring dish detergent for the soup kitchen.
President Tislow gave highlights of information contained in the current Torch magazine and reviewed the calendar of events.
Following the business portion of the meeting the hostess served refreshments to members Jean Hanks, Brenella Joubert, Tislow and Elsie Rowell.
