Every game counts 100 points to the win

Honors are scored according to the num-
Der held by the individual player who
scores them, instead OF by partnership

Each honor is worth one trick in points,

two honors in diamonds are worth u, and
so on for the other suits. If a player holds
four or five honors in his own hand they
count double, four in spades being worth

Of 40. In no-trumps the aces are worth
10 points each, but four in one hand are
worth 100.
At the end Of the rubber the scores are

HOW SHE CURED
RHEUMATISM

1 wish every rheumatic sufferer to know what S. s. S. did
for me. Ihad been afflicted with Rheumatism for twenty years,
sometimes being entirely laid up by it, and always lame in
some part of my body. It grew worse until it was misery to
attempt to walk at all; my right knee was nearly twice its
natural size aud was drawn up considerably shorter than the
other one. A friend advised me to take S. S. s., which 1 COM
menced. I had tried so many things that l must say 1 had
very little faith that it would do me any good, but was willing
to try anything that promised relief. Before 1 had been using
it long 1 was greatly encouraged, and continuing the medicine
I soon found 1 was entirely cured. The lameness and soreness
all left, and I can ~straighteu, move or bend my leg as we'll as
any one. I am sixty-fve years old, but have had no symptoms
of Rheumatism since S. S. S. cured me.
MRS. IDA NJ. PALMER.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-11-28
No. los Fulton St., BlOOklyn, N. Y.

The sincere and truthful tone of Mrs. Palmers letter must impress
every one who readSi it, She had suffered with the agonies of Rheuma-
tsm for twenty years, and when she found a medicine that proved its
worth by curing her, a humane interest in others who we're suffering
from the disease prompted her to recommend it,
Rheumatism is due to a diseased condition Of the blood cells and
corpusceS, brought about by an excess Of uric acid in the circulation.
This urahc impuriy gets into the blood usually because of systemic
irregularities, such as constipation, imperfect kidney action, indigestion,
and other minor stomach disturbances. These common ailments prevent
the proper working Of the ehminatve members, and thus a certain
percentage of the refuse matter which should pass off is left in the
system to sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood.
Then the corpuSceS of the circulation which ordinarily furnish
%nourshment TO the body are saturated with the uraic impuriy, which
they deposit into the muscles, nerves, bones and joints. This causes
Inflammation and the pains, aches, and stiffness Of Rheumatism.
External applications, such as paSterS, lnimenE, hot applications,
ETC., cannot have any permanent effect on Rheumatism. Temporary
relief from its pains is sometimes afforded by such measures, but the
old cause is always at work in the blood, and as soon as the local
treatment is left off every symptom will return.
There is but one way to cure Rheumhsm, and that is to purify the
bood-ceanse the circulation of the uric acid impuriy. S.S.S goes

rched and thickened the circulation, then the nerves, are quoted, the
muscles become elastic, the blood tissues are cooled, and the hot fcVeriSh
flesh is Soothed and made comfortable. Nothing equals S. S. as a
blood purifier, and for this reason nothing equals it al a cure for Rheu-
mahSm. Look on Rheumatism and any medical advice free.
