, three diamonds, however, you will now
bid three no-trump.
The Jump to three of partners suit
indicates substantial trump support
at least four-and a high card value of
6i2 to 1012. 1t is forcing to game but,
like the jump two no-trump response,
invites slam only if partner has sub
stantially more than a minimum. g..
The jump to four of partners suit
is made with high card value of Ga
or less, but here the trump or dis
tributional support is so great that you
expect to have satisfactory play for
game even if partner has a minimum.
The difference between the jump to
three of your partners suit and the
jump to four is that the jump to three
invites a slam if partner has more
than minimum, whereas the jump to
four announces to partner that slam
is to be bid only if the original bidder
has very strong hand.
The type of hand on which you
would jump to three and the type
on which you would jump to four may
vary greatly in high card strength.
Here is typical example of the
former:
Spades Qxxx
Hearts AK
Diamonds A K Xxx
Clubs Xxx
After an opening bid of one spade by
your partner you raise to three.
Raise partner to four spades with:
Spades OK Xxx
Hearts Xxx
Diamonds A xxx
Clubs x
Although the first hand has much
greater high-card value, it has about
the same probability to make game
with partner having an opening bid
as the second hand, on which you
bid four, due to the ruffing values
that the latter hand offers.
However, as the reader can readily
see, the second hand offers very little
chance for slam unless the original
bidder has opened with very strong
hand, whereas the first hand offers
very good slam possibilities.

are particularly likely to infection,
and there are few people who live
to adult life without acquiring
some infection, more or less Sc
we're, in some of these structures.
May Cause Serious Ills
In the case Of the tonsils, when
they are infected the result may
be frequent colds or rheumatism,
even affection of the heart. An
infected adenoid is likely to cause
far more serious and direct results.
This is because the adenoids lie
over the opening Of the Eustachian
tube in the throat which goes di-
rectly to the middle ear. An in
fected adenoid may hang over this
opening, and the infection may
travel up the tube, producing in
flammation and pus in the middle
ear, which if not treated, may lead
to mastoid trouble and other even
more serious conditions.
Many parents are afraid to have
tonsils and adenoids removed from
their babies because they feel that
these structures perform some
necessary function, but we have
now had so much experience to
the contrary that we can say quite
definitely that they may be re-
moved with safety at any age.

y with considerable benefit to the
nealth. The only plausible expla-
nation of their use is that they are
centers to catch infection and pre-
vent it from entering the lower
respiratory tract. In infants they
are large and constitute such a
considerable mass of tissue that it
Is difficult to think that they do
NOT perform some function.
Inc adenoids in the back part
