old fashioned virtue of mankind,

Theodore Christianson believes. in
addresses before two church con-
gregations at ST. Paul Sunday eve
ming, the governor of Minnesota
attacked those who would disre-
gard old beliefs simply because
they are old. There is no way to
substitute the authority of law for
the virtues of mankind, he said.
Behavior lies within ourselves, not
outside. The church, the home and
the school share the responsibility
to create law observance sentiment
If they fail more laws will not
help. The governor said the present
crime wave arose more from indis-
position to enforce the law rather
than from lack of means for en-
forcement.

Five Simple Rules for
Keeping Good Health I

Practical inference from the views
of an eminent physician.-are 90 sim
pie that they are almost trite, and
yet they are fundamental. II you
want to keep out of the repair shop
and make your own body "tick" Wig
orously and regularly, don't rely on
drugs. but cooperate with nature In
five ways:
Drink an abundance of water TO
keep your cells in condition.
2-Sleep at least eight hours out Of
each "a to maintain your batteries.
3tRegulate your diet carefully so
your body will be adequately nour-
ished. and don't "dig your grave with
your teeth" by oyereating.
4Get plenty of fresh air, espe-
eially when you are sleeping.
5%Exercise regularly to rebuild
worn tissues, increase blood clrcula-
lions and develop new cells.
If these FIVE simple rules were hon.
estly and thoroughly observed for sew
eral generations as vigorously as the
Jews have obeyed the laws Of hygiene
handed down by Moses, druggists and
doctors would eventually be obliged
to seek other occupations, and the
world would be populated by very
nush superior race Of human beings.

trick with the ten of clubs. How should
Z plan the play from now on so as to be
sure of game, irrespective of the posi-
ton of the cards and of his opponents
play?
Solution: The opening of the deuce
of clubs marks A with exactly four
clubs and B with two. For that reason,
Z should lead the king of clubs at trick
two so that when B obtains the lead, he
will be forced to lead one of the other
three suits. Z should then lead the acc
and king of hearts. At the fifth trick T.
should lead the jack of spades and, if a
plays low spade, L should fnesse the
jack. If B wins this trick, he is thus
obliged to lead back either hearts,
spades or diamonds. No matter where
the cards lie, L must thus score three
odd and the game. A good way to get
the proper results from this hand is to
lay out the cards and play the hand,
first as directed and then without lead
ing the second club and the two heart
tricks.
