Washington, D. c., June 19.-Presi-

convention news from the United

sorted.

Another good action to indulge IL
while occupying this position is, with
your two hands strongly clenched

the subjacent parts to yield to the

Various causes can be attributed to
the stomach and abdominal disorders
which are so prevalent to-day. II can
safely be said that one of the greatest
is ill-fitting corsets and tight lacing
causing displacement of the various
organs and not permitting them to
grow as nature intended them to. Any
woman desires a shapely form. but
let her attain ii in natural way-eat-
ing properly. living rightly and by sys-
tematic exercise.
How few women have proper diges-
ton? One great cause of sluggish di-
gestion is the imperfect removal, both
OF waste and of residual.
Since motion of the organs Is a nee.
essary part of their function, no res
toration of digestive power is possible
that does not also include the restora-
tion of this mechanical or muscular
property.
Many motions may be given to ones
digestive organs suited to different
constitutions, conditions OF disease,
development of the region, strength of
the individual, etc. The following ex-
ercises have been carefully selected,
which, If not entirely applicable for a
given case, may prove suggestive of
some other that may act more to the
purpose.
The first exercise Is given in a
standing position, the body slightly
bent forward, with corsets and all
tight-ftting clothes removed. The ac-
ton is. the extended hands are made
to strike the frontal regions of the
body. striking alternately with each
hand with such force and speed as 20
produce no unpleasant sensations.
II there be point where pain is
felt, the aclion, at each successive ex-
ercise should for period be given to
surrounding parts. approaching the
tender part gradually until the pain
disappears.
The above may be continued until
Che entire frontal region has been
traversed, and repeated as often as
one deems practical.
A more vigorous treatment may be
given by using the doubled fist instead
OF the fiat hand in striking However.
It is better to begin by using the open
hand.
This treatment is an unusually good
one to assist in promoting absorption,
or removing congestion.
