The experiences of mothers throughout the world prove that Baby's Own Tablets are of the utmost value for the prompt cor- rection of children's colds. Hore is what a Canadian mother, Mrs. Robert Greenhorn, of Philipsville, Ont., writes: "I am the mother o seven children and when I any one of them with a cold com- ing on I fly to Baby's Own Tablets."

The prescription of a British medical child-specialist, these pleasant-tasting Tablets are wide- ly known as an absolutely safe and reliable specific for infantile indigestion, feverishness, constipa- tion, colic, colds, worms and teeth- ing troubles.

It was clear that the four tricks needed to defeat the contract bad But to be won in the red suits. unless the lead could be given to East to cash his diamond winner, South would manage to draw trumps, and discard diamonds on dummy's spades.

It was equally clear that East could not gain the lead in either black suit; and that West could not, while South would not, lead diamonds. Hence East's, only possible entry was in the trump suit. With this analysis, West discarded instead of ruffing.

Now East could not be present- ed from winning a trick with the heart Queen in time to cash a second diamond trick. But note that West loses the defence if he ruffs the diamond King. South, knows the game, is lost if East can, get in, so is forced to play West for the Ace of trumps; and that: prevents East from getting the lead, and the defence is held to the two red Aces and, a low trump.
