played as indicated here. Win the
opening lead with dummy’s J of
hearts. Lead a low diamond. Ruff
with declarer’s Q. Lead declarer’s
last low heart. Win with dummy’s
9. That will capture both trumps
held by defenders.
Lead a low diamond. Ruff with
declarer’s K. Put dummy in lead
with its lone Kof spades. At the
sixth trick lead a third round of
diamonds. Ruff with v declarer’s
Ace, if East covers the J. If he
does not do this discard a low club
from declarer’s hand and lead the
10 of diamonds. As it will do no
good for East not to put up his Q,
suppose that he covers the J at the
sixth trick, and that declarer’s last
trump ruffs. The next two tricks
will go to declarer’s Ace and Q of
spades, allowing dummy to discard
both its clubs.
At the ninth trick dummy will
ruff a club lead by declarer, using
next to its last trump to do this.
Lead dummy’s good 10 of dia
monds. Dummy has a losing dia
mond to give East’s last card of
that suit, but this is the only trick
defenders will win.
East must lead back “ a club.
Dummy has none of that suit and
will use its last trump to gain
entry. The last trick of the deal
will be taken by dummy’s good
diamond.
A small slam should result if
West made an opening lead of one
of his top diamonds. As declarer
should ruff with the Q, after which
the same plan of play, as given
above, will yield defenders only one
trick.

Vitamin D in Sunshine
Another important vitamin,
Vitamin D, is found in the spring
sunshine. Rickets, the disease of
darkness, appears in the spring
after the long winter night, unless
the young body (it occurs only in
children) is protected by the use of
cod liver oil or some similar Vita
min D-containing substance.
Vitamin D also appears in the
Pharmacopeia, and a product
which claims to contain it must
conform to certain tests made on
rats, and contain at least 85 units
of "D” per gram.
It is not wise to try to take too
much Vitamin D, as lurge doses of
it will result in excessive deposi
tion of calcium salts in the blood
vessels and kidneys. Viosterol, a
drug which contains large amounts
of Vitamin D, is quite potent, and
it is estimated that two-millionths
of a grain is the daily average
maintenance dose.
A new vitamin, F, has been sug
gested, deficiency of which causes
thickening, dryness and roughness
of the skin, brittleness and thin
ning of the hair, and brittleness of
the fingernails. Soaps, manicure
preparations, hair preparations and
face creams have been suggested
as suitable agencies for this vita
