Remarks by Mason.
This is very interesting example of a
species of Evans long out of favor. OF
course. the play of the black knights in
the opening has its drawbacks. as sug
gested in the notes, but for all that
fairly good defense is made out, giving
occasion for stubborn Battle. Whether
or not White presses on too rapidly with
his king pawn is Il question xCertain it is
that the more tenacious 10 B-kt2 should
be at least equally ty4ublespme for his
opponent; even though ieaaing to play on

apparent brilliancy that would probably

and pawn about that itinie are open to
objection. AS a consequence White soon
acquires valuable material, ana becomes
all right for the ending. Finally, when
the affair is reduced to queens and pawns,
ii looks as if Black would do better to fur
Their exchange, letting his bishops pawn
go. that he might be rid of the dangerous
one advancing on his queens side. But
then White would get the rock pawn as
well and the result would be beyond all
question. After this there is no more to be
said. the ultimate ending being decidedly
in favor of White-difficult, no doubt, but
to be won in due course.

weary WOMEN



There are many women all over the
land Who are earning . living BY the
use Of the needle. Confinement IN
close rooms and the trying nature Of
their work often causes them to grow
pale and wan and to experience feel

on, sometimes, until nature rebels and
health breaks down. There Is one
way and only one way to restore the
impaired vitality, and that IL to
strengthen the worn out nerves and
build up and nourish the impoverish-
ed blood. If the blood is kept healthy
and rich and the nerves strong, new
life and energy will soon be ffelt.
