two bay leaves and half a teaspoon of

itely settled. 1t has also been settled
that when third hand holds ace, queen
and one more, the queen should be
messed, and IL the trick be held tie
ace returned, and then the small card
IL from the fall of the cards a third
round of trumps be deemed advisable.
With such holdings as these the
holder has no trouble in determining
what to play. When third hands
holdings are increased to four CARDS
it is that the danger lies in finessing,
1t being deemed i~nexpedient TO do SO,
but the partner is left in doubt on
winning the third round where the
other trump lies. Some years g the
Walbrook team of Baltimore solved
this difficulty by deciding 20 play in
the following manner upon the part
per's play of a low card: With ace
and queen only play ace and return
the queen. With ace, queen, n one,
play queen, return ace, then small
card. With ace, queen n two or
more small, play ace n return fourth
best. Here the partner can read that
the third hand held at least four orig
inally, and knows that the queen may
be one of them. This knowledge
says Mr.. Beverly Smith, in writing OF
the convention, may be of material
assistance in preventing an unneces-
sary round of trumps, as well as IN
encouraging him to play a orward
game. The very evident advantage or
playing the major tenace in three dif-
fePent ways Is the exact Information
afforded the partner by each as re-
cards number entirely apart from 9TH
er advantages"
Questionable AuthOrities.
Beginners and players of moderate
experience will often complain of the
confusion arising from reading cur
rent whist literature. 1t is not sur
prising that this should be the case
when dozens of writer's are giving con-
ficting views on the same subjects.
Sometimes the difference in opinion
may relate to a matter of principle,
but more often non~-essentials are dealt
with. 1t cannot fail to distract the
novice and to weaken his belief in the
writer's on the game to have n whist
column warmly recommend the use OF
the three-trump echo, for instance,
while another says it is of no value.
At the outset the beginner would DO
well beside keeping posted in this col
umn to read one good book, say Cav
endish, and to adhere in practlce 10
the principles he will find advocated
there. After he has acquired a thor
ough knowledge of the main features
of the game, which will take about
two years, he may venture to deviate
from the dictates OF his mentor, but
even then he is advised to do so only
on the practical advice Of an able and
experienced player.
AS he advances in his progress to-
wards proficiency, he is likely to bene-
ht by experimenting with all sorts Of
plays. He can in this way learn prac-
tically the various features of differ
ent systems, SO that he will recognize
them when he comes up against them.
One of the greatest mistakes a begin
ner can make is to give ear to every
thing that he hears from every little
player he meets at the whist club,
most of whom consider themselves by
way of being experts.-New York
Evening Post.

Comment.
Trick 8. Here Is where the three
echo comes in. West turned the 4 and
now plays the 8, marking him with
one trump higher than the 9. This
must be either 10 or Jack. AS East
cannot put his partner in, he stands
to lose only one trick by leading low
trump or the chance of his partner
having Jack. Against Lavie and Buff
linton, the adversary made 1T easy by
f~alse-carding with his 10, and they
were the only pair to make twelve
tricks. Those who did not employ the
three-echo could indicate only two or
four, so East players continued the
trump lead and took from West the
only re-entry card, losing four tricks.
Major Tenace In Trumps.
How to treat the major tenace in
trumps Is n of the questions at whist
that have been practically settled.
Every text book advises, and nearly
all good players will agree, that II ace

should put up the ace and return the

that if king be held in second hand

Mr.. E. T. Baker writes a very in
teresting article in the Brooklyn
Eagle upon the three trump echo
which will pay perusal. 1t is here
with appended:
The value of the three-trump echo
was we'll illustrated by a deal which
occurred at the Brooklyn Whist Club.
The arguments in it's favor over the
four-trump echo are we'll known, and
some of the best players in the coun-
try have been advocating its use for
several years. The principal claim for
the three-trump echo is hat the OPP
portunity to use it will occur more
frequently than the other-that is,
when the leader is strong in trumps,
his partner will have three much more
frequently than four trumps. There
fore the information as to number Of
trumps by leaders partner car be
shown oftener. Strange to say, LaVie
and Bufinton were the only players
sitting North and South in this game
who used it and got the benefit Of it
in this deal. 1t appears that most OF
the North South players were using
the f%our-trump echo, but several have
declared against it since they saw the
results following:

DIGESTION.

Many things you fear about your stom- ach cannot be true. If you have had indigestion or dyspepsia for years 1t is natural to be- lieve that the stomach itself Is dis easted It is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired. This is the whole trouble in a vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying pr. Harter's Iron Tonic.
 Your stomach has many things to do, and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion The stomach gets its nutriment and Its digestive fluids from the blood If the blood is impure or lacks the right proportion of strength ing iron, the whole body suffers from a kind of breaking down process.
 To restore health you must start at the source of life itself-the blood-and through that vital fluid build up the stomach and other vital organs.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has cured thousands of cases of indigestion and dyspepsia every year for the past forty five years. It Is the one remedy you can take with certainty of immediate im- provement and a sure cure
 It is prepared with scientific accuracy and many eminent physicians prescribe it constantly. Faithful use of 1t will en- able you to digest your food as perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only by The pr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Dayton, o. Sold everywhere.
