a whiskey drummer, who has been
in the business 25 years, said the other
day: THE sale of whiskey is decreas-
ing every year. People have quit
drinking. 1t is no longer good form to
swillit. a drunken man is a disgrace.
A tippler cannot hold job anywhere
that is respectable and progressive The
railroads won't have him, neither will
anybody else. The sentiment is getting
stronger against it. The teacher, the
preacher, and the papers are against it.
In twenty years from now the whiskey
problem will have solved itself. Beer,
soda-water, lemonade, milk-shake and
other light beverages will have crowd
ed it out of the saloons and drug
stores into the medicine chest.

strength may easily be broken into.
and one may be prevented thereby from
giving valuable assistance to the part
ner in bringing in his suit. If the
fourth hand player should win the first
of the enemy's suit. holding five trumps
but without strength in any of the plain
suits except that led. the safest plan
(no indication having been given that
the partner is short on suit originally
opened is to lead the trump suit. II
the plain suit is led through, it may
oblige the partner to put up his only
card OF re-entry, while the opponent
on the right will be given the opportu-
nifty to trump that important card.
Should the partner prove weak in
trumps, the trick being won by his
left-hand opponent, an advantage is
gained by having the next lead come
up to him through ones own weak
ness, barring, of course, the possibility
of the return Of the trumps. When the
choice lies between the leads from weak
short suits in such situations, in COM
parison with a lead from four trumps
or a lead through of the suit opened
originally, a tentative trump lead is
the advisable thing. One exception to
this rule may be made, however. and
that is, when one is able to read from
the fall of the cards on the first trick
that the left-hand opponent holds a
tenace in the suit led originally, and
that ones partner cannot hold any
card which would prevent finesse in
case the suit is led through later. As
in. such a situation the possible adj
vantage to be gained by trump lead
would be but slight, at the most saving
one trick thereby on the third or fourth
round of a plain suit, short lead
from cards in sequence is to be pre-
ferred If you do not hold such COM
bination, a misleading lead through
from the plain suit originally led is
the safest plan. This means that the
card selected for the lead through
should become that would give the en-
envy as little information as possible
as to where the strength in the suit
lies. The enemy may then be induced
