THE CAUSES OF APPENDICITIS

THE CAUSES OF APPENDICITIS
Appendicitis never develops sud-
denly in . mysterious manner. i
must be preceded BY . chronic In
flan1mation Of the appendix, or
sluggish caecum for . long time be-
fore one can develop IN acute attack
Such foods as starches, when eaten
in too large . quantity and improp-
erly digested, accumulate in the
ascending colon and, Il they remain
too long. ferment and produce large
quantities Of gas and cause . dtla-
ton Of the colon In the area OF the
appendix. When this backing up and
sluggishness has continued for
months, or even years. 1t IS easy to
understand that this part Of the all
mentary canal can become irritated
and inflamed. Colitis Is the inevi-
table result and this spreads to the
appendix, or Z particle Of fecal mat
ter may actually be forced into the
appendix. When the appendix Is not
inflamed, It usually succeeds In fore
ing these fecal particles back into the
colon.
The condition Of chronic appendi-
citis and sluggish colon need not ex-
ist, providing the simplest hygienic
rules are followed. Constipation must
be entirely overcome and colitis pre-
vented. This can easily be accom-
plished by following five simple rules.
First, have regular times for evac-
uattng the bowels every day, and do
not wait for them to notify you that
they are full.
Second, once or twice daily take
. system Of setting up exercises. and
especially use the ones while lying on
your back on the floor such as rais-
ing the legs and the trunk, and In
this way strengthen your abdominal
muscles.
Third, eat a large quantity of green
and non-starchy vegetables both in
the cooked and raw forms.
Fourth, walk three to five miles
daily.
Fifth, whenever you feel a discom-
fort In the intestines, it is q good
plan to use no food but some acid
fruit for few days. Do not use too
many sugars and starches, and avoid
any combination Of food which will
produce flatulence.
II you will follow these rules It will
be practically impossible for you to
develop colitis and will, therefore, be
impossible for you to develop appen-
dicitis.
Until constipation and bowel fer
mentation have been overcome en-
tirely, It is good plan to take at
least one enema daily to keep the
bowels as clean as possible.

chronic and acute appendicitis which
I have handled in the past twenty

THE CHILDRENS TABLE
BY ALICE JUDSON PEALE

In many homes prevails an excel
lent custom Of giving the children an
early supper which they eat by them.

times and must content themselves
with q simple meal. and an ultra
wholesome dessert Of stewed fruit.
It therefore Is better that they
should not have to sit through the
long dinner Of their elders and watch
the consumption Of all sorts Of inter-
esting dishes Of which they may not
partake.
Yet this early supper Of tie chill
dren is frequently eaten off the kitch-
en- table in the midst Of the litter Of
dinner preparations. There Is no ct.
tempt to give the meal any suggestion
Of quiet and dignity.
How can we expect table manners
from youngsters who eat ct least one
meal q day from . messy table. with.
out napkins or cloth. In the midst OF
confusion7 No wonder they disgrace

ners when we are rash enough to

The children should have . table

which, while pretttly finished. may be
washed clean as often as need be. The
table should be set carefully, with
doilies, oilcloth or linen, but always
scrupulously clean. There should be
napkins. cloth or paper. but always
fresh and neatly folded at each place.

candles on their dinner table, Why
should not the children. too. enjoy
such soft and gracious light? Even .

quite rs much appreciated on the
children's table as on that OF their
elders.

manners Is much more effective than
that given by correction and critic

THE BETTER WAY
While the public has not as yet
been taken into real confidence as to
the difference in the methods. it is
revealed that for the housewife who
insists on doing" the dishes after
each meal. though the author implies
that she really thinks the once-a day
method is most efficient. the prefer
able process is to have all the dishes
passed at the end Of the meal to

cause they were dissimilar from GER

WISE CRACKS DUE
Many raucous wise cracks will be
made. too, at the idea of a scientific
collegiate thesis on the subject of
dishwashing. Queerly enough, as
many wise cracks will be made by
women who like to pretend that they
are engaged In serious and noble
profession as by men who have an
idea that domestic gimcrackery is
nothing much than sweet all-day
sucker
Which is exactly why there are
more wasted motions in the job do
mestic today than in any other.
Women themselves have done more to
hamper the same advance in substi-
tutes for drudgery that has been
made in the outside the -hone realm
than anyone else.
Sometimes one wonders if SUBJ
consciously it isn't a whole hearted
wifely attempt to make the world
cling to the idea that domestic
drudgery is just that and nothing
more, so that wifely rewards and ap-
precautions will be greater than if it
is generally accepted that they don't
have it so hard after all.
For instance, just how many hauS-
fraus will really try to find out which

Answer: The cause Of the baby

the fact that you have too many
clothes on him, or that he is wrapped
too warmly when nursing. It is not
necessary to have . great deal OF
covering on babies. and this is Z great

A lacto-vegetarian may use cheese,
milk and eggs to supply protein. The
vegetarian who insists on no animal
products would necessarily be limited
