trick. z played his 3 Of spades.
The declarer led back his j OF
spades. z played the 2, stating
that he held just one more
spade. Had z not echoed in
trumps his partner would have
credited the declarer with hold
ing five trumps, and game would
have been lost, as Y would not
have led two rounds of hearts,
thereby establishing good
heart in dummy (supposing z
could not trump the trick. AS
it was, when Y won the second
lead of trumps, he led his K of
hearts, and noted that 2 drop
ped the 2, stating that he held
no more of that suit. There
upon Y led back a low heart,
knowing that z would trump
the trick with his third and
last spade.
Having won one heart trick
and two spade tricks, z sought
the fourth and setting trick. AS
the declarer had led diamonds,
to gain entry to dummy FOR the
purpose of lea ding trumps
through Y, it did not look as if
Y held the K of diamonds, al
though he might do so. 1t was
certain that the declarer held
at least one club, or he would
have shown a Six-card suit in
preference to first. bidding four
spades. B might or might not
hold another diamond, but if he
had none it could do no harm
to ruff him, so z led a diamond.
B won the trick and led a club
that gave the defenders their
fourth and last trick, as the
declaring side held no more
losers.

Save when the few its golden

The golden key, content; serene.

Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis A. Bisch


tThe number of individuals
who are bothered by acid stom-
ach is legion. It would seem
as though almost every third
or fourth person one meets
complains of discomfort before
or after eating-the usual
symptom of too high a degree
of acidity in the digestive
juices.
Acid, however, is a proper
constituent of gastric juice"
the name for the chemical sub
stances that mix with the food
in the stomach. This acid is
hydrochloric acid, but in a
diluted form. A small amount
of it is necessary for proper
digestion; but an excessive
quantity hardens the food
fries it, so to speak-thus
preventing it from being
broken up into simpler parts
ready to be acted upon by
other digestive secretions.
When an excess of acid is
present the patient usually
feels distressed after a meal,
although a burning sensation
may be experienced before
regular meal hours. After eat
ing "gas" may give trouble,
and when this is marked we
get the familiar symptom of
heartburn" This pain may
be mild or severe. 1t may
even radiate to the back or
up into the neck.
Usually the sufferer from
acid stomach sooner or later
begins cutting out some special
article of diet that he thinks
is offending. He may keep
this up until he is virtually
on a starvation basis. Yet
the blame is more likely to
rest with the patients habits
of eating than with what he
actually eats.
Eating too fast is one Of the
commonest causes for acidity
of the stomach. Eating at
irregular hours is another.
Fatigue, worry, discussing bus
iness affairs or reading a news
paper or novel while at meals
any of these may be arch
offenders.
For, after all, the nervous
system has a powerful influ-
ence on the stomach and intes-
tines and on their secretions.
1t would seem that if the
nerves were Strengthened out
in every one of these patients
and that includes the think
ing processes in particular
their Stomachs would behave
themselves forthwith.
A severe attack of stomach
or intestinal pain may be
treated with 30 drops Of the
essence Of peppermint in a
little water. or with a tea
spoonful of bicarbonate of soda
dissolved in a third of a glass
of water. For several days it
is also advisable to take a
teaspoonful or two Of rhubarb
and soda mixture Immediately
after each meal.
Such self-treatment should
not be continued indefinitely,
however. The general health
must be built up. and special

Cottons Are
Popular
By Wilma Laville

Anything you read about cot
tons this year seems to have a
familiar ring, You have heard
many times such phrases as
"Cottons have come into their
own" and 1.-THE cottonS are
smarter than ever this spring"
The fact is that all such say
ings are more true than ever,
believe it or not. And you will
believe it when you see the
materials. They are not just
improved, they are revolution
ized. Of course it has been a
gradual revolution, coming on
through several seasons, but
they must certainly have
reached their zenith this year,
for there can't be many more
attractive things for the de-
Signers to do to them.
Surface Important
Just glancing over a bunch
of swatches, we notice many
variations in weave. There are
the woody cottons; the blistered
or puckered surfaces; the rip
pied weaves, such as seerSuck-
erS; the stripes, both sheer and
heavy; the piques; the novelty
sheers and the prints. And
besides variety OF texture,
which that long list assures
you, there is variety Of color,
for shades, tones and combina-
tions are lovelier than ever.
Many Sports Fabrics
The wooIy cottons include the
ratine types, and tweedy ma
terials, which will be worn for
suits and sports clothes. They
have the advantage Of launder-
ing easily and needing little or
no pressing, and they come in
attractive mixtures, checks,
stripes and plain colors. The
blistered effects include cotton
matelasse in many patterns
and striped effects. Such ma
terials will be used for sports
and summer street clothes.
The seersucker or rippled ma
terials you know already,
though they look new because
Of their combinations Of color,
which we haven't had before,
and because Of new checked
and broken effects.
Stripes Everywhere
Stripes include too many vari-
ations to list, but among them
are the herrinbone effects,
again excellent for sports and
street suits, and all sorts Of
combinations of ratine and
voile, or other heavy and sheer
materials. The piqueS are even
different, with both woven and
printed striped, and novelty ef-
fects. Novelty sheers include
patterns both printed and
woven. Prints, on plain fabrics,
manage to make their designs
so refreshing and different that
you won't know them. So if
you haven't looked at new cot
tons already, you may be sure
there's a treat in store for you.
And your fingers will begin to
itch to begin your spring sew
ing Immediately.

The Three-Trump Echo

AAc 1AECc-A Iuup ECAO
The three-trump echo consists
Of the play Of a useless middle
trump upon declarer's first lead,
followed by the lowest trump
upon his second lead. This
echo enables partner to count
declarer's trumps and and also
shows that the one echoing has
one trump left, in case partner
can win the second round Of
trumpS and wants the echoer to
ruff a suit of which he is void.
This echo, which is used only
with just three trumps, is of
great possible utility, as the fol-
lowing hand shows:

In adult life there's nothing
to be done about bowed legs,
except to wear dark stockings
so the bowedness won't be so

are corrected by wearing Of
special shoes that lift the feet

Late Fashion
Flashes
By BETTY ARNOLD

INTO THE NET Of fashion
goes tulle, always lovely and
alluring. A lovely new frock
has diagonal shirring from
shoulder to knee, where the
tulle is released in a deep
flounce. The neckline in front
is also diagonal, and there is a
huge shoulder bow and panel
sash Of cleaning black cired
satin ribbon.
For some strange reason the
ash blonde has a special love
for beige, brown and their in
between shades which are the
worst possible selections for
her since they offer no color
contract. She can wear black
with glowing success, especially
if she has the clear pink-yel-
low skin of the pure blonde.

what only a few knew before: that
self-rising flour is economical.
Compare the cost of a 24pound
sack of low grade flour. plus the
cost of salt and baking powder to
season and raise it, with an equal
weight of the highest grade of self
rising flour, and you will find that
with q small addition and original
cost of a few cents w the cost
of the flour. you actually ave from
80 to so cents. This is S because
the self-rising -four has both salt
and healthful baking powder so
that you Immediately eliminate
those two purchases. Secondly, a
high grade self-rising -four made
from soft wheat is more easily
shortened and so requires less fat
combined with it, and this makes
further saving. Thirdly, a point
important to all women who con
slider the health of their family,

Then when morning would come,
I would be just as tired as when I

Process Tax Abuse
Seen as Possibility

The processing tax on flour Is be-
Ing assessed by the state mill and
elevator against dealers on flour sales,
but is not being charged on custom
milling where the grower exchanges
wheat for flour, according to Judge
Harry Bronson, CT Grand Forks, at
torney for the mill.
Attorney General A. j. Gronna
Wednesday stated that he could not
say whether the state mill would have
to pay the tax to the government as
the matter had not been taken up
with the industrial commission, but
was Of the opinion that it would
have to be- paid except where the
grower had wheat ground into flour
for the use Of his family or employees.
There is a question whether the
farmer would not have the right to
sell flour to his neighbors after hav-
Ing 1t ground for his own use, accord
ing to Gronna. He believed that a
change would have to be made in the
regulations governing the grinding of
custom flour or else grave abuses Of
the privilege would grow up If farmers
were allowed to sell the flour ground
from their own wheat.
