To Escape Appendicitis.

A simple way to prevent appendi-
citis was recently described by a well
known physician. Every night and
morning, he advised, go on your knees,
bend backward until you sit on your
heels, andya the same time bend the
upper part OF your body forward as
far as possible. Do this six to ten
times. Yoh may vary the exercise by
standing with heels together and toes
pointing straight forward and then
STOPPING into sitting posture until
the knees touch the chest Do this
also six or eight times slowly. The
effect is to stir up the intestines In
the neighborhood Of the vermiform
appendix and to keep 1t free from the
obstruction which is the primary cause
