The Play.

West opened the deuce of clubs and declarer won with the ace over East's jack. He now has two possible courses-he may try to establish North's spades, which seems almost impossible in view of his own doubleton, or he may play for a break in diamonds, hoping to establish the fourth card of that suit.

But so many women fall to maintain the blood stream in a healthy and plentiful condition. And they pay the penalty of neglect with those wearisome back pains, that wonkness and emaciation; pallor, headaches, and depression.

Women who value health and beauty should safeguard their blood supply by means of Dr. Williama' Plak Pills. The plentiful rich pure blood which these pills creato enable a warnan to meet the peculiar demands of Nature and maintain her health and vigour at the same time.
