hand is safe for five spades, and if he car find his partner with the king of diamonds, it would be safe for six spades.
 So East now bids five diamonds, and this bid is not showing sec ond suit, but is definitely asking partner if he holds the king of that suit. West does not hold the king of diamonds, but does hold the king of hearts, and it costs him nothing to say five hearts.
 You see, without either the king of hearts or the king of diamonds, he should respond with five spades. East can SC that one losing dia- mond can be discarded on the king of hearts, and so he goes to six spades.
 South threw monkey wrench in the machinery by opening the king of diamonds. How would you play the hand from here? If you wi nthat first diamond trick, you are going to lose. .a
 Par on the hand is to refuse to win this first diamond trick to hold off and play the five of dia- monds.
 Now. if South continues With a diamond, you are going to be able a ruff losing diamond with the nine of spades, while, if South shifts to spade, you are going to have the ace of diamonds as an en- try so that you can use your king of hearts on which to take a dis card.

King Shown In Bidding Sims System Permits Players IL
 Reach Small Slam By Revealing Two Highest Cards In Suit.

Today's hand, the 14th of a series of IS playing problems pre- pared by Henry P. Jaeger, is good example of the Sims three bid employing king as we'll as ace showing.
 East has three losing cards and knows that he does not want to play the hand at anything but spades; therefore, he makes all original bid of three spades. This bid asks partner to show his high est ace. Not having an ace, part ner would be supposed simply to bid four spades, regardless of his spade holding, as East. in making this bid, definitely informs part ner that he does not need trump support.

IF YOUR
 BREATH HAS A SMELL YOU CAN'T FEEL WELL

When we eat too much. our food decays in our bowels. Our friends smell this decay coming out of our mouth and call it bad breath. We feel the poison of this decay all over our body. It makes us gloomy. grouchy and no good for anything.
 What makes the food decay in the bowels? We'll. when we eat too much. our bile juice can't digest it. What is the bile juice? It is the most vital digestive juice in our body. Unless 2 pints. of it are flowing from our liver into our bowels every day. our movements get hard and constipated and N of our food decays in our 2S feet of bowels. This decay sends poison all over our body every six minutes.
 When our friends smell our bad breath (but we don't) and we feel like a whipped tomcat. don't use 2 nouthwash or take laxative. Get at the cause. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills which gently start the flow of your bile juice. But if something better is offered you. don't buy it. for it may be a calomel (mercury) pill, which oosens teeth. gripes and scalds the reetum in many people.
