The four notrump overcoll solves this dilemma. It Bays to partner: "I have tremendous strength outside the opponents' suit, and merely want to know which sult you can support, Please advise."

The mere fact that the responder holds a slopper

He was soon to regret this autocratic decl slon. Not that the contract was not made it was. But North-South stil came out with a boltom score, be- cause every other team in the room played the hand in hearts and made six-odd.

South's bid had been conventional and forcing. The four notrúmp overall in a valuable bidding device Javented for just such hands as South held. Very often, when a player has great strength in three suits, the bid- ding will be opened pre-emptively against him, and it then is his task to find his own best contract within the limited bidding space loft him.

We're All Wrong

About Food

By Mrs Fred Maturin

(the traveller and travel writer)

WHAT is all this fuss

about food? This argument, for example, about whether food-ships shall be allowed into "starving" France?

It is, I know, extremely hard to starve, even if you want to.

In fact, the war will teach the valuable lesson that the great majority of people have always eaten double-even treble-the quantity of food neces- sary for health,

Thousands of deaths occur yearly from over-enting, but very few from under-eating..

The African native keeps. well and performs strenuous work on two small meals of grain a day. Often the grain- is uncooked though mixed with water.

It is only when a shooting- party comes along and cm- ploys natives as servants and carriers, giving them double the food they ever had before, that they lose their health..

My own treks in Africa were an education on this point. At first, we began by over-feeding our retinue 18 well as ourselves.

We were used to it, like most Europeana. With US, ill-effects would begin only after middle-age.

A Sudden Change

But the servants and ear- riers changed suddenly. They had all sorts of pains-boils, sore throats, eyes, ears, noses and feet. They lost their spirits and became slack.

Settlers had warned us but we had to find out for our- selves...

It's queer how long it takes to learn some great truth in life. Some big shape-up is usually necessary. I got it on a trek from Nairobi into Abyssinia.

Near the border the party split up temporarily.

The Dutch driver, three of our friends and most of the natives were going with the wagon, along the Old Slave Road.

"

My husband, myself, two friends and three native ser vants were taking a short cut across rough ground and vir- gin forest.

The two groups were to meet that evening at any casy landmark. We arrived there but the others didn't.

Almost Foodless

As it later transpired, they had lost themselves in a Waterless desert, and several of the oxen had strayed off,. making movement difficult.

Now the wagon had all our stores and food. Without it, In the wildest of wilds, we were in serious, trouble.

We were

worried. But at least. was a river nearby.Wo drá heartily, and felt bett

That was the beginning of fourteen days with practic- ally no food at all.

My husband had a rifle, but only one round of ammuni- tion. The first morning he tried to kill a reed-buck with it, but missed.

"How long can people go without food?" he asked me.

"A, long time, with water, I've been told," I said. "Per- haps we'll see."

Then we had a piece. of luck. The native cook who was with us produced a small bag of self-raising flour, A half-packet of table salt, and a few onions. He had been carrying them as E little standby for himself.

Food Truths

We decided to turn this small hoard into rations for two weeks.

One teaspoonful

of flour each per day, with half a small onion for dessert.

The flour was made into tiny flat cakes mixed with water and cooked over a wood fire.

For the first three days we felt very hungry indeed." But not ill..

After that, food didn't scem to matter much, so long as we drank plenty of water.

All the time we worked bard in various ways and without feeling any weak-

nega.

We made a bridge over the river. We made a hut of tree branches.

On the morning of the fif- teenth day, a scout from our party found us.

When

we met them, they looked like shipwrecked mar- inera, while we had not felt so fit for years.

Even Doctors...

That experience helped to teach me that we are all wrong about food in the "civi- lised" parts of the world.

Only a few doctors under- stand the truth. One of them wrote thus to the Press some time ago:-

"I have a fine practice and many patients, most of whom are within four days of per- fect health if they would do as I tell them.

"I have vainly assured them that they will not drop down dead if they will do a three or four-day fast, but will emerge cured of their ail- ments, and that if, after that, they will cut down their food to half they won't want me again.:

"Will they do it? Not a bit of it!

"They much prefer medi- eines, poultices, aches and pains, and even death..

"And so, my conscience be- ing clear, I continue to build up a fine practice."
