vVITH A SIMPLE sot of fuels
work from, a line deductive
player can reach conclusions or:
some deals which result in mak
ing the prettiest sort cf plays.
The mere failure of a player to
lead the suit H i by his partner
may furnish the necessary clue to
every vital fact needed by the de
clarer ".ho thinks. If it is clear
the suit was not so long that he
was void in it. then he must be
ducking a lead away from an
honor. Going further, if the suit
bidder did not hold that honor,
then he must hav< a certain other
honor in another suit. And so on,
end so on..

HowBody Responds
to Coffee Drinking
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
THE CONTROVERSY as to
whether coffee i.; beneficial o:
harmful cannot he settled dogmati
cally. The active ingredient of cof
fee, caffeine, is a drug which is used
in medicine for definite purposes.
It is a heart stimulant. It is useful
in shock and the di-pr<-.-. ion follow
ing surgical operation-.
Its fundamental action is prob
ably to increase the amount ol
blood put out by the heart, and it is
this increased blood flow alone
which, going through the brain, in
duces mental stimulation. Caffeine
does not harm the kidneys, al
Dr. Ck-ndening will answer
questions of general interest
I only, and then only through
i his column.
.though it is often thought by those
who do net study carefully that the
increased output of urine is harm
ful. The increased output of urine
is due simply to the increase of
blood flow through the kidneys. Or
the heart muscle, caffeine has a
very beneficial action because it
increases the nutrition of the heart
' muscle. For this reason it should
be advocated as a regular beverage
in moderate quantities for middle
aged people.
Muscular Response Measured
Muscular response to coffee has
been measured. It was found in nor
mal young men, whose reaction t<
a given stimulus was measured be
forehand, that after drinking cof
fee their reactions were two to sh
per cent more rapid.
Naturally for any drug, it mus
be said that if used immoderately
the eifect is bad. J ust what consti
tutes immoderate intake is a fjues
tion of temperament. People an
not all made alike. Some have stabl
nervous systems; some are of th
thick-skinned variety; others nr
temperamental, unstable, witl
nerves set on a hair trigger. Fo
the last class, coffee li::s no prope
use.
It may be put down as nxiomati
that if coffee makes you ne. <>us i
is not good for yuu.
Coffee should certainly not b
| given to children below the age 01
i 10 years and I would even say 15
! years. They do not need the stimu
) lation. Their hearts and brains
I are young and active and cofTec
1 would induce a false need for stirr.u
j lation.
In High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is no contra
in'lication of coffee, according to
i Doctor Stieglitz. He believes that
patients with high blood pressure
should be allowed coffee in the
morning if they arc used to it, al
though ho forbids its use in the
afternoon or evening.
Occasionally one finds a person
with an irritable heart who gets pal
pitation from the use of coffee.
Here, again, common sense would
contra-indicate its use.
Coffee can be decaff einized. The
decaffeinized coffees contain a very
small percentage of caffeine, so
small as to be negligible. For peo
[ pie who are habituated to the taste
| and smell of a cup of coffee, these
beverages can be recommended.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E. A.: "Does sleeping ori'the
stomach cause any intestinal ail
ment? When I sleep otherwise, I
get a headache."
Answer—No. No position for
sleeping is any healthier than any
other position. In days gone by peo
\ pie thought that it was dangerous
not to sleep with the body parallel
to the Magnetic Pole, but thai* went
out with Charles Dickens. You* we
unconscious of exactly what posi
tion you do assume at night. People
■ think they sleep in a certain posi
. tion but observations on slee'jcfs
■ have shown that they turn and as
■ sunie practically every posture in
i the course of the night.
