The action of the heart de-

cause they become weak or ex-
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart 'Aut-

and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shoul-

because the odds against your winning
the rubber are 3 TO 1. and if you can
reduce them to even money by taking a
TO l chance, you have the best of it.
In the long run, this system must bring
you out ahead of those who do not un-
derstand it.
To come down to concrete illus
tration let us suppose that the success
OF your venture depends upon finding
your partner with a certain card or
cards; let us say the ace of a given
suit. The odds against his holding any
card which you do not hold are to 1.
If finding that card in his hand will
give you the second game with GER
tain declaration on your own hand,
make that declaration by all means, be-
cause If it is only 2 to ! against your
partner holding that card and to l
against your winning the rubber, you
can reduce the odds TO even money for
the last game if the 2 to l chance
comes of, which is better than letting
the to 1 odds stand.
Authorities differ as to the exact
value in points of winning the first
game. II would seem that as the rub
Der game carries with it 100 points
bonus, winning the first game must
give you an equity of 20 points to the
adversaries' 25. This looks like bal
ance of so in your favor, but some
writers insist that 1t is only S8. while
others claim il is worth Sc.
AS this is a point about which fre-
quent disputes arise, the problem may
be briefly stated in this way: If you
play 200 rubbers, in 100 of which you
win the first game, and in these 100 you
win the rubber 75 times to the adver-
saries' 25, your actual gain in rubber
points must be a balance of 5000, or
so to the rubber, which would seem to
indicate that the first game is worth
half the rubber. or so points.
If you had won the first game, and
no one bad yet scored on the second,
what you'd Sou declare on the follow
ing cards?

himself. as he had expected, he shot her,
the bullet entering her right temple

All's Well That Ends Well

ITO lazily dine in a restaurant fine
and feast on the best in the land" is
a universal desire.
If one were to judge by the satisfied
expression of the numerous guests
every evening at Benefits Restaurant
they are in truth feasting on the best
in the land. To have and to hold this
reputation has been the aim of the
managers, Bennett & Wilmer, who, for
fifteen years, were located at 8 Stock
ton and 10 Ellis street. At the new
quarters the quality and variety of
their dinner service, the excellence of
their special dishes and their cooking
of game, poultry and succulent oysters
have already won them favor with old
and new patrons. The location of Ben
close to the business center has helped
much to popularize 1t not only as a
breakfast and lunching place, but as a
resort where the epicure can enjoy a
most complete and satisfying evening

SOLUTIONS TO PRoBLEMs

The solutions to problems published
in lesson No. 20 are as follows:
In hand No. 16 the dealer should win
the first trick, and should return the
suit at once, letting dummy win with
the ace and lead a third round, which
the dealer can trump. It is time
enough to lead trumps after this, be-
cause even If the fnesse in trumps
loses there are only three trials for the
adyersaries to win-one in trumps
and two in diamonds, unless there
should be four trumps to the K 10. in
one hand on the dealers right
The solution to problem No 16 is for
Y to lead the A and Q of trumps, so as
to keep the lead in his own hand for
two rounds and give 2 discard of the
club Q. Then Y leads diamond. If B
has discarded two spades, z leads the
