DELIVER AFGHANS
Delegation w. K. C. Pleased At What They Saw At Veter-
 ans Hospital

Members of the Woman's Relief Corps actively interested in knitting afghans for the invalid soldiers at the Rutland Heights U. S. Veterans Hos pital. recently personally delivered two of the afghans that had been finished by members of the corps and friends, and which were displayed in the Community room of the Putnam Savings Bank. Those making the trip were Mir. and Mrs. c. U. Miller, Mrs. Blanche Covell and Mrs. Cora B. Adams. The journey was made by automobile.
 The ladies were enthusiastic over the work for the disabled which this hospital is doing. The two afghans will be delivered to the soldiers who do not receive compensation. On the day the Putnam delegation visited the hospital there were 3S2 inmates, of which forty-two were from Connecti- cut and seven do not receive compen- sation.
 Doctors in charge were cordial to the visitors and showed them about the institution. There are dental rooms, special eye, ear, and throat, department, three operating rooms, chemical room, diet kitchen; also a radio receiving room. There is a library and receiving room with the usual hospital wards, nurses quarters, etc. There is even a post office and a bank. A bank representative arr rives from Worcester one afternoon a week so that the boys can personal ly attend to their own banking af- fairs. It appeared that everything possible is being done to make these invalid veterans as comfortable as possible and to cheer them on with 8 hope that they may soon be able to leave he hospital and again taken their places in the world.
 The ladies have another afghan nearly completed.

Answer to Problem No. is

Z opened the king of hearts Saich B trumpcd in As hand with the trey of diamonds. Y playing the five oi hearts. B now led the deuce of spades s;om As hand, trumping in his own hand with the six of diamonds. On this iI,ok, Y played the seven and 7 the acc oi spades. What deductions should E make from the bidding and the cards played on the first two tricks and then how should he plan the play so as to make six oddf
 This is very interesting problem. because 1t can be solved if the deduc- tions made by B after trick ? are those which are the most likely to be corree, Let us take them one by one.
 1. A and B hold eleven diamonds. Y and z hold two between them. As 2 doubled "Six Diamonds" it is likely that he holds both, piz.: the king and deuce, and that Y is void in the suit.
 2. z played the ace of spades on the hrst round of the suit, although a trump had already been played by B. It is therefore a singleton, and Y holds four spades.
 }. / bid "0ne Heart" He. therefore. IS likely to hold five. He would have pre-empted if he had held six. E has six hearts and A none. Y therefore has two.
 4. Z's hand must therefore contain one spade. i've hearts, two diamonda

and five clubs. Y's hand holds four spades, two hearts, no diamonds, and seven clubs.
 5. B hopes that z holds A, K, OK of hearts. If so, he can make his con. tract. The following is the play: At trick ,, B leads the ten of hearts. z covers, and A trumps. A leads the ace of clubs and B trumps. At trick s, n leads the nine of hearts; z covers, and A trumps. A then leads spade and B trumps with the ace of diamonds. Al trick ]. B leads tl,e eight of hearts and A makes his remaining trump. z can nov make the king of diamonds, but no other trick. 1t may be that one of Y's two hearts IS an honor = perhaps the jack - and if so, B solves the problem by trumping trick 3, whether z covers or not.
 This problem is of value in showing how little clear thinking at the right moment Gin this case when z's ace of spades was played at trick D is all that is required to make a good player. The actual hands held by Y and 2 arc as follows;

Carl Gilbert, Pomfret station agent almost as wefl-known in Putnam a. in the adjoining town, is greatly i'm. proved in health. The little item that The Patriot copied from "Alone the Line" the railroads periodical appealed to his sense of humor. The letter he has written The Patriot is most interesting. The best news fl contains is that the writer is 100 per cent better than when he left Pom fret. The Patriot takes the liberty of lief that it will be read with interest and pleasure by the many friends of the writer.
 Melbourne Beach, Fla.
 February !, 1928. The Putnam Patriot, Putnam Conn.
 Gentlemen =I was somewhat amused in reading the account of my citrus fruit diet in The Patriot issue under the date of February 2nd, as taken from the railroads "Along The Line" of January issue.
 am afraid some of my friends will think l am suffering the bangs of hun ger and be shipping me some salt pork if l do not correct it so l will give a brief account of myself.
 Melbourne Beach is very fortunate in having a very fine dietician who works under the direction of Dr. Wm, Howard Hay, of the Sun-Diet Sanato. rum at East Aurora, N. r., and their diet menus are recommended and ap- proved by the Mayo Bros, the great surgeons of Rochester, Minn.
 A. C. Parkhurst, the dietician, diag. nosed my case and took me in hand and first put me on a three day fast, ie, glass of pluto water followed by a glass of hot water upon arising and then the juices of six oranges, three lemons. and one grapefruit with an equal part of water added and all could possibly drink of it and drank five gallons in the three days. Dur. ing this period l was allowed no food whatever.
 Cow Salad
 The fourth day had for breakfast oranges and milk, for dinner, sour made from waters of green vegetable: and a raw salad consisting of cab. bage, lettuce and either carrots celery, green pepper or onions (sams os my father used to feed his COWS when I was a boy on the farm except that I don't recollect the soup) and for dessert apples. oranges or grape fruit and milk and the same for sup. per. Tn addition to this diet l take g naked sun bath of several hours daily in the boiling hot sun.
 can truthfully tell my friends that am at least 100qs better than when left Pomfret.
 walk several miles daily without a cane, my blood pressure has drop. ped A points and have not looked as healthy in 20 years and certainly feel fine.
 am not allowed any meat, pots toes, bread. pie. cake, tea, coffee. salt or pepper.
 hope any of my friends who are afflicted with any sort of stomach disorder will try that diet for a shor' period as 1t is truly wonderful. have suffered all my life with acidos:s and taken tons of soda but now

 4 and Y passed and B bid one no-trump
 z bid two diamonds. A and Y passed and B bid two no-trump. If 2 now bid three diamonds, what should A dop Should he double three diamonds or bid three no-trumpr
 It Is reasonably certain that A can defeat the three diamond bid, and also that A-B can score game at no-tramp. Z's bid of three diamonds, however, il sound - and there is no reason to be. licve otherwise - indicates a freak hand. probably eight or more diamonds head. cd by the jack. and at least one outside trick. If this analysis is correct, the three diamond bid would not be de- fcated more than two tricks. On the other hand, A-B should easily score game and thus have the better chance Tor the rubber. The winners of the first game have three to one chance to win the rubber and this advantage is very great one. For these reasons, 4 should bid three no-trump rather than double three diamonds.

"One of the finest crops I have ever raised and ever seen harvested" says Mir. Albert s. Hulburt of Somers, Tol- land Co.,, Conn.,, of his 1927 pota- toes raised with "AA QUALITY" Fer tilizer. Mir.

A question that is always difficult to decide arises when the opponents have made bid that you feel sure you can defeat and yet you have such great help for your partners bid that you tesi sure you can go game at his 5:d. Shall you double and play for the penalty or shall you help your partners s bid and try for gamer
 The correct solution of this question is very difficult at times, but as rule governed by definite facts. When you are sure of game. don't double unless sure of at least 200 points. When you are sure of rubber game, don't double unless sure of at least 800 points. These values may vary st times but as a rule shey are the proper rules to consider when you have chance to double your opponents or go game. The following hand is good example:
