pade, trick? And without any thought, many people answered, I would. start the diamonds, and then, if the finesse worked, I would lead, a club and take the club finesse." No thought was given to what might happen if the finessos didn't work.

Now let us start right at the be ginning. You are playing the contract at one no trump. East has bid spades, and probably has five. A spade la opened, and you win the first trick.

You can see that you are going io win a heart trick, two diamonds, and a club-ivo in all. If you take the diamond finesse and it fails, the enemy will eash its spade tricks and will then prob. ably lead hearts, and your con- tract will be defeated, because you will not have the club suit established.

Now let us reason the play by starting the club suit. If we lend a club, we have a chance of entab- ishing three club tricks Immedi- ately. We are sure of two din- mond tricks and that is enough to givo us our contract of one no trump. If the club suit does not establish, as a last resort, we have the diamond finesse,

In the meantime, even though the queen of diamonds lays wrong, the wrong hand may get in the lead, or the defence may discardi

RENEW YOUR VIGOUR

WITH ENO

Although many people blame weariness of body on to overwork or long hours, vaually the real cause is the accumulation of poisons in the blood due to unsuspected constipation. You may not think you are constipated, but Nature is warning you that your system is not completely ridding itself of its dally waste.

Do not allow constipation to rob you of that vigour which means real health. Adopt the pleasant practice of taking a sparkling glass of ENO's "Fruit Salt" on rising every morning, and keep your system thoroughly free Tria, the stagnating polsons that so quickly sap your vitality. Buy a battle of this well-known alkaline corrective today--but be sure you get ENO.
