want to point out that too many players have become book-players. They learn to make bids simply be- cause the hand contains a certain number or high cards.
 While it is true that, from the standpoint of rules and regulations, an opening bid of one in a suit should be made with a hand con- taining three honor tricks and g. biddable suit, or 1-2 honor tricks and a rebiddable suit, this yard stick is not all that is necessary to guage an opening bid.
 What is far more important than honors is whether the hand con- tains a potential rebid, for this gives player an important advan- tage for an opening attack.
 Before making an opening bid, you must be prepared for any re- sponse which your partner may make. This is known as the "Prin- ciple of Preparedness"
 Following are three hands. Study them carefully, as tomorrow's arr ticle will deal with opening bids on these types of hands.

visits by clinic personnel, the per-
formance Is better than that re-
quired by the standard which calls
for SO visits for each annual death.
Actually the more than $4,000 home
visits amount to SO visits per
death.
Hospital care as measured by the
number of hospital patient days
amounts to approximately 81 per
cent of what it should be with the
application of the standard of $50
patient days per death.
While no definite data were OBJ
tanned regarding the exact condi-
tion on admission of those patients
who were hospitalized during 1884,
there is evidence to indicate that
for the most part it is extremely
unfayorable since Al per cent of
those who received disqualification
during 1884 died while in the hos
pital. This proportion is consider
ably greater than the 25 per cent
of tuberculosis patients who die
while in sanatoria and hospitals as
shown in survey of the country as
a whole.

STOMACH ACHE


Stomach ache is one of our COM
monest complaints. They are SO
common that we consider them
of no Importance, and to relieve
them we take different types of
remedies, especially alkalies and
laxatives almost automatically.
These remedies usually bring re-
lief, but if the stomach ache hap
pens to be due to appendicitis, the
ingestion of laxative is often dis
astrous.
It is wise to visit the doctor if
the stomach ache lasts over one or
two hours. There are many types
of disturbances in the functioning
of the intestines which will pro-
duce momentary pains, but these
usually clear up In a few minutes.
However, II the pain last several
hours to several days or is severe
in onset, making you feel like doub-
ling up or going to bed, it should
be investigated.
One symptom of stomach ache,
which should always warn you of
serious development is the onset Of
vomiting. Whatever may be the
cause of the complaint, this means
that 1t is becoming more serious.
l do not mean to say that no dis
ease causing pain in the stomach
without vomiting is serious, but l
do say that this development means
that things are getting worse. The
fear of an operation should not

HEALTH
By DR.. John B. Hall, Jr.


prevent you from visiting the doc
tor as most Of these conditions can
be treated without operation.
Too many instances are known
OF persons who ignored a stomach
ache which was the beginning of
an attack of appendicitis. D h
from appendicitis is still too COM
mon and one of the main reasons
is that the doctor does not see the
patient until the attack is one or
two days old. This makes operation
much more difficult than if the pa
tient had been seen Immediately
after the onset of the attack. 1t is
commonly said that the pain in an
attack of appendicitis settles in the
lower right side of the abdomen but
this is so often not quite true and
no dependence can be placed on
this assumption.
There are other conditions cauS-
ing pain in the stomach like intes-
tinal obstruction, food poisoning,
liberation of the stomach, gall
bladder disease, constipation, can
Ger OF the stomach, etc, and these
should all be considered. A n y
pain in the stomach may be of
serious import and it is not wise
to attempt to diagnose it yourself.
In many cases it is difficult for the
doctor, who has had much more
training than you, to make the d.
agnosis. In any case your doctor
should be called and do not delay
if vomiting has commenced.

No attempt was made to secure
individual and complete histories
OF these Negroes who were hospi-
talized in the four institutions men
toned. For this reason 1t cannot
be stated how many may have been
admitted to more than one OF them
during the single year 1894. 1t is
probable, however, that the num-
Der of "repeaters" In the group
would be comparatively small, 30
that the total as obtained by add

EMULATION OF CULO-
SIS CONTROL ACTIVITIES
u IN RELATION TO T n e
NEGRO POPULATION.

In spite of the limitations, how
ever, Of what might be termed
rough quantitative analysis OF
Chicago's tuberculosis problem, it
is possible to make somewhat of
an evaluation of the activities and
services concerning which informa-
tion has been obtained, through
the use of certain accepted STAN
dards in programs of tuberculosis
control sponsored by the American
Public Health Association.
1t has already been pointed out
that in the important matter OF
case-finding the performance in the
city is somewhat better than the
accepted standard of two new cases
for each annual death. The ratio,
however, is slightly higher for the
white population than for the Ne
gro population, and is considerably
higher in those community areas
where the tuberculosis mortality
is lowest than in those where it
is highest, which, as has also been
pointed out, are largely the areas
with an appreciable proportion of
Negroes.
The yearly average of 1850 Wis
it's by Negro patients to the dispen-
saries of the Municipal Tuberculo-
sis Sanitarium is more than seven
times the quota of approximately
10000 obtained by applying the
standard of Is visits for each an
nual death.
OF the new cases examined at
dispensaries and diagnosed as hav-
ing pulmonary tuberculosis, h e
number classified as minimal cases
Is we'll In excess of the standard
of Is per cent. The average number
SO classified in the two year period
1933-34 amounts to rs per cent of
of the new pulmonary cases, the
figure for the former year being
25 per cent and for the latter
year % per cent.
In the matter of the number of
contacts examined the performance
falls far below the standard of 3
for each new positive case regis
tered. The average ratio for the
two year period amounts to only
1.21 contacts for each new positive
case. Between the two years, how
ever, there is to b noted an in
crease in this ratio from 1.02 in
1888 to 1.42 in 1884, so it is pos
sible that some slight improvement
is being effected in this direction.
