UIIS , OIIIy OIIG VIII VIII BY VIM. K. MCKINNEY
 America's Card Authority

Today's hand reminds me of Q situation that occurred in the early days of contract bridge. At @ na- tional tournament in Cleveland, there were number of players in the contract event who had previ- ously played nothing but auction.
 One young lady asked me, DO you get more than one bid in con- tract?"
 Certainly" was the reply.
 Thank you. I'll bid one heart
 And that is exactly what I would like to do on this hand, but though the heart suit is stronger, we must bid the spades first.
 West continues clubs and South ruffs. A trump lead knocks out one adverse honor, and another club forces South again. A second trump lead forces out the other adverse honor.
 Although fourth club lead can force South's last trump, North still has the jack of trumps with which to take out the last adverse trump. Then the tricks in the red suits are ample for the contract.
 If South bids hearts first, North may steer him into four hearts iri- stead of four spades, since North's extra spade is not sufiicient to off- set e decided preference shown for hearts by South. At four hearts, the contract is set by the repeated club leads, despite the best possible breaks in all four suits.

What sort of girl IS she? Her nice clothes "tell one story, her awkward maners another.
 A girl used to well-bred circles would know peter than to pull of her coat, making Q great "todo", be- fore taking her chair at a restau- rant. The smooth way Is to seat yourself, then let your coat fall over the back of your chair.
 By such little ways - so easily learned - you show that you are, that you're not the crude sort to embarrass man by diving after your dropped gloves, by opening the car door yourself.
 Nor. saying goodnight, will you thank HIM for your fun, asking, "When will I see you again?"
 He sees you're the gracious, poised type men are proud to take places. You'll let him do the picking up and the door opening.
 At the evenings end you'll say T had a lovely time", instead of crude "Thank you," for he's sup- posed to be grateful for YOUR com- pany. And you'll remember it's the mans place to ask "When will I see you again?"
 Simple rules, but know them and add to your popularity Our 32-page booklet tells what's correct on dates, in public, entertaining, on the tele- phone; gives etiquette for dances, the theater, introductions, invita- tions, travelling.

THE FUNCTION OF B COMPLEX

THE FUNCTION OF B COMPLEX
 Moderate insufflciency of vitamin B intake may account for @ great many familiar complaints. Among the effects of moderate B defi- cheney (and of course when B de- ficiency occurs 1t is always B complex deficiency) a gastric atony and intestinal atony or weakness and loss of tone in the muscle coat of stomach and intestine. A com- mon manifestation of gastric atony Is a chaving or demand for a larger amount of food, particularly carby. hydrates, to satisfy the sense of fullness, if not the appetite, and so persons with moderate B complex deficiency often eat too much of the very class of foods (carbohydrate) which, as composed largely of white flour and white sugar, other refined cereals and syrups, provide little or no vitamins. And so, as 1t seems to me, the more they eat the more they want to cat of the kind of foods they do not need. Figures do not lie. Not that these victims of moderate prolonged B complex shortage are all too fat-many of them are just fiabby and weak and lack only the vigor to maintain good postUre,

Q MODERN MENUS
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Baked ham Is traditional Easter Sunday dish. Fragrant, tender, smooth and sweet, 1t deserves per- feet carving. :.
 Lily Haxworth Wallace, a noted American writer on food, has just written Carving the Easy Way" Study the ham carving lesson in her valuable inexpensive book and you'll have Q far happier Easter dinner.
 Tn carving Q baked whole ham, fresh or smoked, one must re- member that there will be a right and q left, though of course this makes absolutely no difference to the quality of the meat.
 "As shown in bottom drawing, the bone runs right through the ham but a little off center and ag the broad or heavier side gives the best and choicest cuts, the ham should be placed on the plat ter (always fat side uppermost) with that broad side away from the carver, at the far side Of

Asparagus CheeSe-SOuffle
BY DOROTHY GREIG

When mother wanted to imply that e certain thing was simple to do she'd say, "It's as easy as roll- ing off Q log," And that Is just the way 1t Is with this souffle.
 It has but three ingredients. Once they're mixed and in the oven, the souffle does the rest It huffs and inches It's way up until 1t is big and puffy and light.
 When done, whip 1t from the oven and serve immediately while 1t is still proudly high and tender. With 1t offer fresh green salad, and these you have as delicious a main course for lunch or supper as ever you could wish.

 winners in @ "self-improvement course," given by Q famous beauty salon, prove it's possible for an over- weight, dowdy- looking woman to bee come @ glamor girl in six weeks even though she has not much money to spend on herself and not time enough to go to an exercise salon for massage or to do exercises under the watchful eyes of an ex- pert.
 To New York recently came three women who started taking the cor- respondcnce course of the beauty school exactly six weeks ago. Ac- cording to the report each made ct press luncheon, the improvement which has taken place in the inter- i'm is nothing if not inspiring to anyone who has excess poundage problems.
 ONE TOOK OFF
 NINETEEN POUNDS
 One winner, Mrs. R. M. Baker, of Little Rock, Ark, presents today a remarkable contrast with her ap- pearance six weeks ago, according to pictures taken of her before start- ing the course.
 She lost 10 pounds, and is half an inch taller since she learned to stand tall" with her shoulders square and her backbone straight. She took four inches of her waist- line and three and half off her thighs, and says she feels ten years younger.
 Naturally, it's no easy matter to lose 10 pounds. To Mrs. Baker, los- ing so much weight meant giving up all sweets and all of the rich gravies and sauces she had been eat- in in lavish quantities for years. Her special diet never left her with that empty feeling. She was allowed to have all of the oranges she wanted between meals.
 This is @ good point for the wom- an on @ spring diet to remember. Keep organes as well as Q bunch Of celery, some carrots and a head or lettuce in the ice box. When you are hungry between meals, nibble these instead of cookieA, candy or other sweets.
 Tn addition to hlving the pre- severance to stick Ato a diet, any woman who wants to reduce must be faithful in doing exercises regu- iarly. And also, by learning to take better care of her hair and skin, she will improve the looks of her face and head as well aS or her figure.
 IMPROVED HER
 DISPOSITION, TOO
 Mrs. Olin D. Cole, another win. ner, who judged by the audience to be an ideal type, lost i8 pounds and Is six inches simmer in the hipnne.
 "Iier disposition as well as her apeparance was improved as soon as she began to lose weight rapidly She said that being on the defensive about her figure over period ot years had soured her outlook. HERE'S EXERCISE
 THAT DID IT
 All of the winners did posture ex- ercises along with reducing routires. Here are directions for their favor. ite:
 stand about a foot away from A wall. then relax the knees and push the center of the backbone firmly against the wall. Notice how this pulls in the stomach. Now, rais- ing arms above head, make wrists touch the wall, meanwhile keeping center of the back against 1t.
 Relax and repeat twenty times. Keeping only wrists and small Of the back against the wall IS not as simple as 1t sounds.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-09

In some sections of the southern states where pellagra is prevalent the deficiency may be mainly insuf- ficient nicotirlic acid or insufficient ribohavin (vitarnin G or vitamin B2 as it was formerly known) in- take, but in every case, practically, there are signs or symptoms due to insufficient intake or other factors or entities of the natural B coEn- plex.
 The function of B complex is to promote and maintain health and vigor. If the daily intake is ade- quate 1t will prevent or help cor. rect the many troubles now recog. nized as commonly If not invari. ably due to B complex shortage such as the following:
 Slow growth, transverse ridging, spooning, pitting and brittleness of the nails. Juvenilue ai1emia and so-called cachexia scholastica. Hypochromic ailemia in adult
 women. Simple anemia in many
 instances. Indigestion and weak digestion. Atomic constipation and later spastic constipation or SO called mucous" colitis. Poor cir culation from weak heart muscle
 and weak arterial muscle coat.
 Retarded growth and develop
 rnent in children. Tongue appear ing sharp or pointed and glazed or shiny red, instead of wide and rounded at the tip. Palpitation on exertion.
 For normal folk or those with few indications of rutritional defls ciency I advise a daily ration of noa less than l5o0 units of vitamin I3 and vitanin B complex representing not less than 300 units of thiamiis (Bl), to supplement the ordinary diet. For people who have evidenh manifestations of nutritional dee ficiency advise not less than twic6 these amounts of B complex and D as a regular daily supplement foG the diet.
 Of course such restoration of the essential vitamins to the diet wit' not cure conditions not due to vita min deprivation. But 1t is remark, able how many everyday com. plaints which are as yet perhaps not serious enough to make one seele medical care do respond to simple Wtamin feeding.
 Stamina, second wind, resiliency, buoyant health, recuperative capac. ity, reserve power, resistance, vital- ity, good condition, fine fettle-it doesn't matter what you call 1t as long as you call 1t vite.
