9 Years of Suffering

Scranton Merchant Victim Stomach Trouble Nervous

Emory ]. Hinckley, well-known
merchant, 128 South Grant Street,
Scranton, Pennsylvania, says: "After
9 years of intense suffering was so
discouraged 1 did not know which
way to turn. Then Tanlac brought
me wonderful relief.
"During all these years suffered
from nervous indigestion that kept
me in constant pain. 1t seemed that
something was growing in the pit of
my stomach. My appetite was poor.
To heap Goals on the fire, l suffered
from dizziness and headaches. I was
so weak and rundown that often l
could not work.
Nervousness caused by my trou-
bles made it impossible for me to
sleep. l would count the hours till
dawn then arise more tired and worn
out than when / went to bed. For 9
years I sought relief without success.
"Then l decided to give Tanlac
trial. After the first bottle I noticed
a marked improvement in my health.
This tonic has relieved my stomach
trouble. Inever have headaches. My
nerves are always so calm that l can
sleep at any hour of the day."

with the following hand4
Hearts IS,

Diamonds - 10, 6, .
Spades - A, K, 10, 7,3
You should bid one spade. So many
players bid four card suits nowadays
that you should not lose chance to
show the other major suit, even with
three little cards of your partners suit.
Such a holding is no real support for
four card suit. With three to an honor
or four or more of your partners suit
YOU should pass. The modern theory OF
bidding is to give accurate information
whenever possible and these hands are
good illustrations.

The writer has frequently called at
tention in these articles to the modern
tendency to bid suit, rather than no
trump, Il the hand contains singleton
!, or void suit. The matter of distribution
has become as important point in
modern bidding as the cards them
selves, and no good player bids no
trump on high cards only. In addition
to the high cards, he must also have a
favorable distribution. If he hasn't, he
prefers the suit bid to no-trump. One
tvpe of hand that always works out
better at a suit bid than no-trump is
the one that contains three four card
suits and a singleton. The following is
a good example:
Hearts "A, l,8,4
Clubs A. K, 10. 7
Diamonds u
Spades "A, 8, S, 4
With this hand as dealer, bid one club
and if your partner bids one no-trump,
bid two hearts. 1t is a perfect example
of the type of hand that plays better at
a suit bid than no-trump.
There is another type of hand where
the suit bid is preferable to the no.
trump. In the following hand:
Hearts AT
Clubs "A, K,
Diamonds - 10, 8
spades @, 10. 10, S.
the proper bid is one spade, not one no.
trump. Here is another example:
Hearts K, 10, 9. 6, 6. 4
Clubs A. K. S
Diamonds - none
Spades - A, ], lO,
The proper bid is one heart; not one
no-trump. Avoid the latter bid if the
hand contains a singleton or void suit.
Here are two hands that illustrate
anotherprinciple that should bethoroush-
iv understood. Suppose your partner
bid one spade, second hand passed and

MARY Lou surveys her world confidently
In this charming frock. For the best
dressed and most comfortable little girls
wear simple, colorful, trim frocks of this
sort almost exclusively, with very few
more fluffy things for occasional parties.
This frock is made in broadcloth, linen,
chambray, gingham and similar wash
fabrics, with the smart feather-stitched
vest, collar and cuffs to contrast or
harmonic in color. Two inverted plaits
take short run back and front from the
raglan shoulders to the hem. For cool
weather Mary Lou has this style made
in a soft wooden, which she calls her
'dress of yellow flannel light"

No score, first game. 2 dealt and bid
one club, a sound bid even if z doesn't
hold top clubs. He has enough outside
strength to justify the bid. A and Y
passed and B bid one spade. z bid two
clubs and all passed. A opened the seven
of spades. Y played the trey, B the ace
and Z the four. B then led back the
spades, Y winning the trick with the
queen. How should z so plan the play
that he can make game if the cards are
divided a certain way1 The only posi-
bic way for w to make game in this
hand is to find the singleton queen Of
clubs and the queen, jack of diamonds
alone in the hands of either opponent.
If that is true, Z should lead the king Of
clubs at trick three. If this lead drops
the singleton queen of clubs, w will
only lose one club trick. Then If either
A or B has the queen, jack Of diamonds
alone, w will not lose a diamond trick
In this way and in this way only, can
w score game. 1t is an interesting
hand because the cards were just as
supposed and Z made game by playing
as indicated.

Star Not Supernatural

According to Kepler, the "Star
of Bethlehem" was probably con-
junction of Jupiter and Saturn in
the constellation Pisces, the two
planets being so close as to seem
like a single star. The conjunc-
ton is recorded az having oc-
cured about 3. c., and might
possibly coincide with the birth Of
Christ. Another theory is that
the Star of Bethlehem was recur-
rent star. the last appearance of
which was in 1872, when it ap-
reared in Cassiopela. This star Is
reported to appear about every $50
years. A third theory is that the
star was Venus. which varies in
brightness, but Is the brightest Of
all known stars.
