inessed the ten. The queen, once
guarded, won the trick, and several
spades were made which might easily
have been shut out. BY declining the
lead the best of three in cases OF this
kind, not only is the partner induced
to finesse, but the risk of blocking his
suit is also added. After two rounds
of a suit have been played, the block
ing of the partners suit is quite as
likely to occasion a loss as an unsuc-
cessful fnesse. The partner is put in
a trying position which even if the
finesse is successful is entirely unnec-
essary. 1t is the old story Of greed
trying to make an impossible trick and
in the effort losing several sure ones.

Two Ways of Playing 1t.
In the Baltimore Herald, beverly
Smith a y that a player must be on
the alert to recognize the futility of
continuing one course of action when
he finds the enemies forces too strong
ly massed in opposition, and quick to
start a fresh attack upon some more
vulnerable point of their lines, and he
adds: eff, upon opening your best
suit, partner shows utter inability to
render you any assistance toward it's
establishment you will do well to
abandon it temporarily, unless you are
strong enough to do without partners
help, OF you wish to force him and are
sure that he holds no nor 1t is
nearly impossible to establish a suit
not headed by the ace under such con-
ditions, and to continue leading a suit
that has gone against you very cheap
ly IN the first round, except under a
certainty Of forcing partner, is but a
waste of your time and energy. Play
ing for one suit does not mean butting
your head against a brick wall in a
blind and hopeless fight for principle.
The first round will warn you to drop
such a suit, select another to play for
partners, If you can guess or infer
which that ~is-otherwise lead the most
available and least damaging support

illustrate this, Mr.. Smith gives the

er Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
medicine is primarily designed to cure diseases Of
the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton. Its far reaching effects on organs locally remote
from the stomach are due to the fact, that diseases Of
blood, nerves, liver, heart and kidneys often have
their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive systems, and when the
diseased condition is removed, the contributing cause
of the disease of other organs is taken away also.
Human life depends on food. If we don't eat we
die. But it is not the fact of eating which makes us
live, it is the assimilation by the body of the nutri-
ton that is contained in the food, which sustains life.
But this general nutrition is made up Of specific ele-
ments for the several parts and organs of the body,
and unless these specific elements of nutrition are
extracted and assimilated in due proportion, there is
some part of the body unnourished. For example,
the blood contains about one-tenth of an ounce
of iron. Take that iron out of his blood and
the man would drop dead. But it is evident that
if the loss of all the iron from the blood means
death, that, so far as the supply drops below the
normal one-tenth of an ounce, it means loss of Vi
tai force and physical decay, because the blood

cYour medicines have done so much for me that
I cannot thank you enough for advice and kindness
shown me-" writes Mrs. Warren E. Parker. of
Orange St., Nantucket, Mass. uThree years ago I
was taken sick with what the doctor called nervous
ness and indigestion. He gave me medicine for the
trouble, but 1 could not eat even a little toast or oat-
meal without suffering severely. I felt hungry but
hardly dared eat anything. In a few months
began to have distressing spells right in the pit of
my stomach. After the distress passed away it
would leave my stomach so sore that 1 was obliged
to j lie in bed several days. l called the doctor again
and he said had catarrh of the stomach gave me
medicine but it did not do any good. I lost 20
pounds in three months. At last 1 was so bad that
I thought I was beyond help. One of my friends
loaned me DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser to read, and when I read that many people
had been cured by his medicines I made up my
mind to write to him, although l was so bad

try that. 1 had not taken 1t long when I felt
relieved and have not had a touch of indigestion or
stomach trouble since. l had been sick for four
years, and less than four bottles cured me. Some

North and South, 9, a gain OF one.
Comment.
Trick 1-North's best suit is headed
with Ace, Jack, consists of only four
cards and there is no ~re-entry. Con-
sequently instead of attempting the i'm
probable, North opens with a support
ing card. If East ducks, SO does South;
but it is East's play to cover.
Trick 2-South has four trumps with
two honors and the heart suit is GER
tainly worth trying for; consequently
he leads trumps. With less than four
trumps his play would be the singleton
Diamond.
Trick 4-North, having control of
Vests suit, naturally continues the
trump.
Trick 5-West is bound to clear the
Spade suit, and the remainder of the
deal plays itself.-Rochester Post-Ex-
press.

Trick NORTH opens bis best suit.
but the drop on the first round plainly
shows that It Is hopeless.
Trick 3-The trump lead can be read
as weak now by both North and South.
but East echoes three in good fsith.
Trick .5-It Is simply q guess at
South's suit now and North guesses
right. South. however. should have
finessed the Ten. but was probably
afraid of losing his Ace because OF
East's play and the extreme length of
the suit.
Trick 9-North is compelled to play
a simple coup here to bring in the
Heart suit. It is easy for him to read
that the four cards now remaining in
South's hand are the Jack of trumps,
and three long Hearts. Hence, to ruff
with his best trump and lead his loser
will accomplish the desired result.
The foregoing looks a good deal like
double dummy. At all events, to en-
able North and South to get what he
thinks is all there is in the cards, MI.
Smith makes West lead trumps fool
ishly and then makes East play the
Nine from King and Nine on the Ten
led, and finally requires North to
trump with the best and lead the Sec
ond best. The play is forced and I'M
natural. If two common-sense whist
players held the North and South
hands the play would probably so as
follows:
