COUNTING YOUR TRICKS
IF A PLAYER will not take the
trouble to count up the positive
tricks in sight, and then look for
the spots where others may possi
bly be procured, he can never con
sider himself manipulator
of no trump contracts. There are
those who select any old path out
of several available, until after the
hand has been played. Then,
when they see how the contract
could have been made, they fre
quently wonder how they could
have calculated that in advance.
Dually there are sign posts that
point the way.

(Dealer: South. North-South
vulnerable.)
A club by North on this deal,
followed by 2-Hearts from South,
2-Spades from North, 2-No Trumps
by South and 3-No Trumps by
•'.'erth, brought a lead of the dia
mond deuce from West, who did
net like to offer any of the bid
suits. Naturally the singleton
queen went on it from the board
and it was covered by East’s king,
the ace taking.
Nutrition of the Teeth
/4s Influenced by Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
IT 10 A COMMON belief that
f ca;se foods make strong teeth. As
a ecroliary of this, it is often said
Mat candy causes tcotli decay.
And so it is
supposed that
primitive man,
living cn coarse
fccc’s berries,
grains, nuts,
cracking the
shells and
gnawing on
bones had
fine teeth, and
that modern
man, living on
refined and
processed foods,
can ascribe his
poor teeth to
that habit.

Man, who lived at least 35,000
years ago, shows typical human
Mentation. “The teeth are worn
M Primitive fashion, the upper in-
C;Kr ~s having met the lowers
Ec iUarely edge to edge.” (This
shows they were worn down prob
ahly by coarse diet.) “Several of
the teeth suffered from caries, and
there are maxillary abscesses, es
pecially in the region of the mol
ars.” (MacCurjJy, ‘.‘Human Ori-

The declarer then kicked the
hand away. He reckoned that, if
hearts would break evenly, he
could get four tricks there, plus
two in diamonds and three in
spades, if the finesse would work.
Trying two heart rounds at once,
he was sunk when the suit broke
badly and the spade finesse failed.
% The odds were heavily against
what he tried, whereas the odds
were in favor of the clud suit
working. An immediate club lead,
after getting in, would have
knocked out one club top, where
upon West would have removed
the last diamond stopper. Then
another club lead would have put
West in again to cash two more
diamonds, but that would have
been all, as the game then would
have been sure without any
finesse.

(Dealer: North. East-West vul

What is the correct bidding of
this deal?
Primitive man must indeed have
suffered torture from his teeth.
Eskimo Teeth Good "
The teeth of Eskimos in Labra
dor, Alaska and Greenland have
been studied, and have been found
extremely good in spite of the fact
that they get little coarse food.
Their diet is largely carnivorous
and very rich, in phosphorus, and
in gnawing bones and cartilage
they get a good deal of calcium.
They also get plenty of Vitamin D
because they consume so much of
the oil of livers of fish and marine
animals.
Such facts indicate that a heavy
diet of coarsely ground cereals will
not prevent the occurrence of
dental caries. Apparently the so
called soft foods of the present
age are not a contributing factor
to dental caries.
The question of today is whether
infection or nutrition —whether the
seed or the soil—is the largest fac
tor in causing dental caries. Un
doubtedly germs entering into a
spot of crumbling enamel are the
real cause of decay. But the
crumbling enamel is probably
largely dependent onnutrition. It
is possible that food particles sub
ject to decay in tooth crevices
break down the enamel also. Nei
ther cleanliness nor nutrition, how
ever, need be neglected in tooth
hygiene. It is perfectly practical
and simple to tend to both. Regu
lar daily brushing of teeth and a
diet with calcium, phosphorus and
Vitamin D win take care of both
possibilities.
