avav by his $50 aces. Even II he
bids spades and South supports them,
North will probably insist upon no
trumps. And with normal dlstrlou-

trumps should be as easy to make as
four spades. After Vests pass Nortn
bid for game in no trumps.
East led the ten of hearts, which
was taken by the jack in North's
hand. North now realized that the
big problem confronting him was to
keep West out of the lead. He played
the seven of spades from his hand.
East played the ten spot and was
permitted to hold the trick. North
made a serious mistake here. He
should have overtaken with the king
and PLAYED a spade back, ducklng the
nine SPOT in his hand. East Is then
forced to take the trick with the
oueen. II West had played the queen

West made an equally serious mis-
take, however. She did not oVertake
the ten spot with the jack. She
should realize that the only hope OF
setting the contract is for her to
clear the heart suit for her partner
East was on lead, and didn't like
It at all. He finally played small

the ace. and led the eight Of spades
from his hand, overtaking with the
king in dummy. He then played
small diamond, fnessing the nine spot
in his own hand. East was once more
on lead with the king Of diamonds.
He still refused to play hearts, lead
ing another club. North took the
trick with the ace and played the ace
of spades, and another spade, taking
with the five spot in dummy. North
had carefully preserved a second re-
entry into dummy by leading the
seven and the eight Of spades. The

East Is on lead again and plays

Read this very enthusiastic letter:
Something like eleven or twelve
years ago, I began eating Kellogg's
AIL-BRAN. When I started, it was
called simply Kellogg's Bran, and I
believe it was one of the first prod
ucts Of the kind on the market.
my friends often laugh at my
fondness for ALL-BRAN. It gives
such a clean taste in the mouth,
and I do not feel satisfied until I
have had my ALL-BRAN.
eff the Kellogg Company should
ever stop manufacturing ALL-BRAN,
here Is one who would be greatly
disappointed. Miss Amy Person,
University Park, Iowa.
Science says that ALL.BRAN pro-
vides bulk" to exercise the intes-
tines, and vitamin B to further aid
regularity. Also iron for the blood.
The bulk" in ALL-BRAN Is much
like that of leafy vegetables. How
much safer than taking patent
medicines-often harmful. Just eat
two tablespoonfuls daily for most
types of constipation. For serious
cases, try it three times daily. If
not relieved this way, see your
doctor.
