South was reasonably optimistic
about his four-heart contract for he
could see that it would be made If
either the spade ace or club king
were favorably located. While 4
club opening would have quickly
defeated the contract, West decided
on a trump. East won with the ace
and returned diamond. South
won, then played a second trump to
dummy. South now decided that he
would lead dummy's jack of spades,
and If East played low, would jump
in with the king. However, when
the spade jack was led, East natur-
ally covered with the queen. De-
clarer quickly decided that the ace
was surely adversely placed, but now
another play loomed in view. He
allowed East to hold the trick with
his queen (there would be no point
in Vests overtaking with the ace).
East now forced one of dummy's two
remaining trumps with a diamond
and a second spade was played. West
won this trick with the ace and
shifted to club, but now there was

Immediately by
shrinking method

With the discovery of Ephedrine,
science took a great step forward in
its fight against head-colds. When you
have a head-cold, the membranes of
your nose become swollen, thus
interfering with normal breathing.
Ephedrine is used by nose and throat
specialists everywhere because it has
this unusual power it shrinks the
swollen membranes of the nose almost
instantly-thus tending to bring
relief from that stuffed-up feeling,
and get breathing back to normal.
Now comes 4 new and important
development in the use of this re-
markable drug! The makers of REM
for Coughs have developed an i'm
proved Ephedrine prescription for
use in relieving head-colds. 1t 10
called REL.
REL combines a special form of
Ephedrine with another valuable in.
gredient. In step with advanced med.
ical opinion, REL is water soluble"

with the watery secretions of the nose.
That's why REL is absorbed so quick.

relief in half-a-minute! REL reduces
the swelling. releases the mucus -.

and want to get the benefit Of this

must ask for RELl

to the outer balcony of St. Peters and gave his first blessing to Rome, to Italy and to the entire world. It was the first time any pope had thus appeared since 1870.
 He was formally crowned Feb. 12, and at that time again appeared on the balcony to bless the crowd.
 He chose the name of Plus partly because he had taken his first steps as a priest under Plus TX, and had been called to new tasks at Rome under Plus X.
 But the greatest reason was that Plus signifies peace, and it. was in his heart to do all he could for the cause of peace throughout the world. ADVANCED PEACE CAUSE
 Appraisal of his reign as spiritual leader of 330,000,0oO Roman Catho- lies, and as moral force among all the nations of the earth, shows that Plus XI not only kept faith with this vision of peace, but succeeded in establishing it as a practical pre- cept in troublous era.
 For many years, Plus XI drew on his vast energy to direct the work of the Vatican to a successful end. From dawn until long after midnight, he labored, day after day, in his offices.
 But the long strain told, and with the opening of 1886, he was forced to curtail his activities, and some times cancel audiences.
 HINTS OF COMING DEATH
 In June, 1886, the pope gave a hint he expected death soon. In examining a model of 8 project to modernize the Vatican approaches by tearing down slums, he expressed a wish the work might be completed soon.
 When man is near 80 years old, he cannot make too-far distant dates" he said.
 By December, his condition was worse and physicians ordered him to remain in bed. But, deaf to pleas that he safeguard his failing strength, the pope, on Dec. 24, broadcast to the world Christmas message.
 He appealed for peace and for a finish fight against the forces of Communism, and, in special word to his great Roman Catholic family, urged that all return to the faith.
