Henderson. Ny. May lith. 1919.
IL had suffered so long that I'd al
most come 10 believe that life wasn't
worth living. but it's different now,
for Trutona has given me new energy
and new hope. Mrs. Emma Reid. C5
years old. well known Henderson
woman Of 1902 Washington street,
said on April 10.
For the past twelve years I've
been trying to get relief from kidney
trouble. Severe pains between my
shoulders and in my limbs caused me
to become very nervous. My stom-
nch wasn't in very good shape, either.
Gas would form in my stomach and
cause me to belch annoyingly.
Il feel more like doing my work
now than have for a great many
months. since taking Trutona. The
severe pains between my shoulders
and my limbs have disappeared and
I'm not nervous any more. ! don't

Of Chris; and for the past several
year, fer the religious press.
The net increase as shown in DR.
CARROTS tables Was only 2S4 500, the
snail increase being shared b. prac-
tically all the denominations while n
number e the denominations show
an actual decrease in membership.
The causes given for the small gain
are absence Of pastors in army or
other work and the closing Of the
churches for several weeks, and in
some communities for months, on ac-
count of the influenza epidemic.
The total number Of church mem
beers in the United States at the close
Of the year was IL .565, 90S, divided
among the denominations as follows
Roman Catholic Church, three bodies,
i4.927. 466; Methodist. fifteen bodies,
7,579,3ll; Baptist. fourteen bodies,
7,2l3,922; Lutheran. sixteen bodies,

bodies. l,5ll 100; Protestant Episco-
pal. two bodies, l,072,321; Congrega-
tional, sl5,396; Reformed, four bod
les. 5l9,962: United Brethren, two
bodies, 367,99G; Evangelical, two
bodies, 200 ,697; Evangelical Synod,
260,0i5; Eastern Orthodox churches,
I72,79i. The remainder is divided
among thirty or more smaller demon
nations, some of which have total
membership Of only a few hundred.
The smallest denomination report
ed is the Temple Society, with two
churches. two ministers and 260 mem
bers.
In spite of the comparatively small
increase in membership on the part
Of the churches, the growth in the
number Of churches and ministers
compares favorably with former
years. The ministers number 1884,
2ss. gain for the year of 1922. The
number Of congregations is 23O,65s,
an increase over the previous year Of

Bankrupt Land.

They don't know much in the big
cities about the decreased productive
power of agricultural land. But we
haven't their excuse.
We are not all farmers in Lancas-
ter. But we are in a better position
than New Workers and Chicagoans
to know what farm looks like.
There are people in the metropolis
who don't seem to know that you get
milk from a COW. They think you
get il from a milkman. They think
tomatoes come from a can.
But there are cogent truths in the
science Of agriculture which both
New York and Lancaster seem con-
tent to ignore. and which grim ne
cessity will force US to recognize. We
shall find the schooling less painful
| IL we start the course at once.
The chemical elements which make
soil fertile are nitrogen, potassium,

few others The production Of var

At the table at which A got in club
bid, It looked as II Y had harder time
Of 1t to 60 game, as he could not get
the club discard. At the four tables at
which z started with no trump. and
clubs were not mentioned. b led the
spades. In spite of this only one table
went game at hearts on this hand.
This is what happened at three tables
2 won the spade jack with the king and
Immediately led tho Jack of trumos. a
discarding the eight of clubs. B won
the trump and led the queen of clubs.
which held. and then another spade.
Instead OF leading another round Of
trumps started tho diamonds, dis
carding the losing spade. A won and
led the trump. This 2 held with the
ten, as his only reentry for the dia-
monds, giving Y two discards in clubs.
Now Y must lose q club. because II he
leads diamond and trumps with the
nine b discards the club and shuts out
z when Y leads a club, with a view to
separating the trumps.
The student Of tactics will see that
there are two faults in the play of this
hand. The first is leading trumps be-
fore getting the club discard. which is
important, and the other Is leading a
high trump from rs hand when there
are equally high trumps in both hands.
High trumps. especially with four OF
them, may be valuable in the hand that
has the long suit to be played for, like
rs diamonds.
Here Is how one table went game on
the hand at hearts.
won the first spade lead and imme-
diately laid down the ace OF spades
When dummy led the king Of diamonds
and failed to get cover. Y trumped
and led the spade queen, discarding n
singleton club.
The next play was TO give dummy Q
ruff in clubs and lead the queen OF dia,
monds. passing II up and letting the ace
make. Y discarding a club. A. of course
Immediately led two rounds Of trumps
ace first
Now comes the play that wins the
game. II 2 is allowed to hold the TRUMP
trick with the ten, he makes the Jack Of
diamonds. but A still has ten of that suit
Y can afford to trump with the queer
and lead either OF the black suits, as
cannot shut out rs jack OF trumps. ant
one of BIS trumps dies. II overtake.
dummy'e ten of trumps the same line OF
play results
Strange to say the player who hat
an original club lead to contend with
had an easier time to go game p
shifted to the small spade for the second
trick, 2 winning two rounds and leadinl
the king OF diamonds. which passed
up. there being no necessity to trump II
this variation.
What p does next does not matter
but he led trumps twice. 2 still havinf
four trumps got two ruffs on the blaci
suits. The point OF the hand is keepin,
the high trumps in dummy. instead o.
leading them. This Is what wins tn,
game.
