Change of season colds can often be avoided by a timely, dose of Pinkettes.
By cleansing the food traction- ing up the liver and dispelling constipation, these dainty laxative and aver pills improve the gener- al health, thereby ensuring, free- dom from colds. You will appre- c.ate the gentle..efficacy of Pin- kettes, so give them a trial. They neither gripe nor purge and do not form habit. For constipation, liv- erishness, billousness, sick head- ache, pimply, skin, impure breath, there is no surer remedy than

OF THE FOUR-ACES UVÉKEN
West led the four of diamonds, and dummy ruffed. South drew two rounds of trumps and then

the hearts, but had to lose a heart and two clubs. Since East would have made live dia- monds, South was well pleased with the one trick set as a sacrifice; and the opponents ac- cepted 200 points as the best they could get under the circumstances. But despite all this satisfaction there was
on the a malefactor scene! See if you can identify
before' him and spot his crime you read on.
South was the criminal, for he should have made the contract! Correct play is to discard a club from dummy at the first trick not to ruff! East has to put up the diamond Ace to win the trick, thus establishing South's diamond East's best shift is 10 a King. club, but South takes the club Ace, draws two rounds of trumps, und discards dummy's last club on the King of diamonds. In this way, South saves two club tricks at the expense of only one dia- mond trick.
From there on the play is easy. South ruffs two clubs and two diamonds in the dummy, making his contract.
