OF Postum little over two years ago,
and We have used it ever since, to the

happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago I
had an attack of pneumonia, which

dyspepsia, Or rather, to speak more
correctly, neuralgia of the stomach.
My cup of cheer had always been
coffee or tea, but became convinced

stomach trouble. ! happened to men,

Next day 1t came. but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it
sufficiently. and we did not like it
much. This was, however. soon
remedied, and now we like it so much
that we will never change back. Pos.

my stomach trouble. I verify believe,

Third Bridge Number.

Third Bridge Number.
Ihls morning. third treatise, on
the art of bridge playing is given
for the interest of our readers and
although Lent has put damper on
social affairs, there are many who
VIII continue the game during the
season
It is to be regretted that royal
spades has been introduced in Keo-
kuk, giving unuue value to- the lowest
make OF trump in bridge will demon
alize the game. Of course the best
players will not take it up and one
can only hope that the fad will soon
be dropped
The spade make is merely a pro-
tective one anyway We name that
trump from weakness and because we
can lose a fewer number of points.
The mediocre player will always
double spades on what Mr.. Arthur
Loving Bence, the author of The
Bridge Fiend, calls faith and stupid
ity''
One should Sc at least two odd
tricks before doubling spades and
should remember in rsurlng these
eight tricks that ones suit cards may
be trumped
The rule which the men play of
losing thirty IF honors if one
doubles spades and fails to make the
odd trick is an excellent one.
After giving ones opponent thirty
few times even the most stupid
should learn not to overwork her head
piece on a hope.
1t is unfortunate that only limited
number of local players understand
the original spade make.
The first thing to do in picking up
ones hand is to total the value of the
honor cards. Counting an ace four,
king three, queen two. and Jack one.
Each suit will total ten, making the
entire count of the deck forty.
An original hand will make it no
trump on thirteen count and
bridged hand fourteen
The rule for the original spade make
is-no ace and count of only four or
less
Try leaving the make to your part
ner when you have only queen and
possibly a jack. Have him lay down
q hand which he has named no trump
on bare fourteen count, and see how
you will come out
OF course once in long while
your partner will hold four aces or
four honors in hearts. but just re,
/ member the times you have saved an
other chance at the game and rubber.
Several men, who the early part
of this winter said that they would
| not adopt the original spade make.
/ have since been converted to this
| rule
Earlier In this article, write Of the
/ "bridged hand'
Mr. Bruce of whom | have written,
objects to the words Il bridge it." as
crude: the correct ones being Part
ner | leave it to YOU
/ The formalities of the games are
most confusing to the beginner, and it
is regrettable that many local play
ers, notably the men, have permitted
many slang expressions to take the
place of the prescribed forms.
