Minor suit. His Club suit is neither
strong nor long enough, nor are there
any distributional features in the
hand, such as a void suit, or a single
ton. or a second suit-bd to warrant
the assumption that game will be
more assured with Minor suit as

ner may open.
Salient Points of the Play.
Trick /. From the lead Of the six
of Spades, South knows that East
holds two higher Spades. He plays
the ten from Dummy to provide
against the possible holding of the
Queen and nine by East. South's play
of the King of Spades, on East's Ace
was made with the hope that West
would win the second Spade trick and
be without a re-entry.
Trick 2. West refuses to win the
second lead of Spades, as he is with.
out sure card of re-entry except in
that suit. An interesting point to
as partner could have made the same
defense by refusing to win the first
lead of Spades. The strong defense
by West in refusing to win the second
Spade trick prevented an easy game at
No Trump.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

One of the discouragements to the
conscientious mother is to see her
neighbours roly-poly baby, who is
given everything and anything to eat
without relation to its desirability
and then by contrast to realize that
her own properly fed baby is under.
weight. That is a blow, and she is
bound to wonder if careful feeding
really is as fine as it is supposed to
be.
There is only one answer to that
time.
A strong healthy baby can be ac-
customed to almost any kind OF food,
in fact food which would kill a weak
er child; but the effect of constant
bad feeding shows up in time The
poorly fed child may appear healthy
in fancy, but the results of bad feed
ing will inevitably appear. This is
the encouragement which the mother
must keep in mind.
Anent this subject is a letter from
Mrs. +. b., who says:
II want to thank you for your
answer to the mother who considers
the psychology Of child raising the
bunk. am still pretty young and /
idea of raising my little girl and any
brothers or sisters she may have. But

side somehow. to hear people say that
the helpless little things must be
beaten. 1t is a weakness, feel sure,
to use violence on babies.
Will you tell me why my neigh
boris baby is healthy? He has two
eggs, bacon, a pint Of milk and coffee
for breakfast and he is IL months old.
For the other meals he eats whatever
the family has.
My baby is fed according to the diet
list given me by the doctor. She is 20
months old and. weighs 2S pounds.
and hasn't cut a tooth in four months.
She has the stomach teeth nearly

Another friend has a baby the same
age. He has 20 teeth, and is fed
pork chops, candy, chewing
gum, coffee and anything he wants.
How come?

baby is a heartier eater, while the

Body massage would also be helpful,

A daily treatment for improving the

Every one would like to possess a
clear skin that would stand close
scrutiny without betraying any rough
ness or blemish. The way to attain
this ideal is two fold. One must main
tain a scrupulous external and internal
cleanliness. Since blackheads are moth
ing more nor less than sebaceous
glands clogged with CRIME and oil,
their presence is a sure indication that
the skin is not being cleansed thor
oughly. The whiteheads are also
clogged glands or pores, but they are
under the outer layer OF skin, so that
they do not become dusty. Their ap-
