A small heart was led and won ace. The in dummy with tho good queen of clubs was played; from dummy and South discarded a small heart,

The rest of the hand, then, is simple. Unger cashed his queen of diamonds and then won two diamonds in dummy with the ace and king. Another diamond was played, which declarer trumped with the six of spades,

Now the nine of hearts was won East in dummy with the king.

HOW NASTY!!

The same old story when it comes to getting, children to take very necessary medicine. But then perhaps they have never heard of "LAXETTES"the dellelous, real chocolate, laxative.

Don't forget to keep them locked up, for the kiddies will not believe you when you tell them that it is a medicina. LAXETTES represent. the ultra-modern way of taking a smooth-acting, aperient. They are small squares of delicious eating chocolate wrapped in silver paper and packed 18 in a box.

Ask your nearest store or druggist for a free sample or write to the Agents.
