“The Authority on Authorities”
PREFER NATURAL PLATS
ALWAYS WIN a trick unless
you have a special reason for not
winning it. This does not consti
tute parsimony, but plain common
sense. In all games the natural
plays are preferred under ordinary
circumstances. Such measures as
hold-ups are advisable only when
common logic dictates that an ad
vantage of some kind may be
gained by them.

Skin Serves as Envelope
To Other Organs of Body
By LOGAn CLENDENING, M. D.
YOUR SKIN should have had a
good hygienic experience this sum
mer. it should have been aired
and sunned and cleansed in ocean
or lake or river. It should:, have
been close to nature. It should
have been exercised so that the
working of the muscles as you
walked, or played tennis or base
ball, or whatever you did play,
m ade all the skin glands function
freely. Now that winter is on the
way, keep' it up. Your skin is a
wonderful organ, and very much
°f your feeling of well-being de
pends on keeping it in condition.
Be good to it.
There is a little joke that doc

held off on the first round. Declar
er came to his hand with a heart
and led another club. When the
10 was played by West, declarer
guessed correctly and ducked, with
the result that he lost only one
club trick.
If East goes in on the first club
trick. West makes the J, as East
can clear the spade suit when in
with the club A. Declarer could
not afford to let West hold the
trick with the 10 with two set-up
spades. East had no good reason
for holding up, as the entry in
dummy made that play useless.

(Dealer: South. North-South vul

What Is South’s best play for
6-hearti after the lead of the
club Q?
glands pour out perspiration,
which dries, causing the skin to be
cooled by evaporation. It is often
said that the more a person
sweats, the more healthy lie is.
There is no rule about this. Cer
tainly a dry skin is unhealthy, but
excessive perspiration probably
means consumption of alcoholic
beverages more often than any
thing else.
The total weight of the skin is
about six pounds. If removed it
would cover an area of about six
feet. It is the largest organ in the
body. »
The use of face powder and
other cosmetics has something to'
be said for it. They distinctly pro
tect the skin against light and
wind and are, in themselves, sooth
ing. Massage of the face does
riothirig but clean the skin. It does
riot make the pores small, nor pre
vent wrinkles or color changes hr
the akin. „

toes feast oh. Please tell me the
iriosf effective remedy for the itch

Answer: The two best-skin
anesthetics for local application are
phenol and camphor. Properly
combined, not in too great strength,
as in campho-phenique, will give
as much relief as possible, dabbed
on the bites with a piece of cotton.
