F.) Answer. Bunion is not a growth. It is a partly dislocated great toe joint, with more or. less thickening of the diHlocnted ends of tho bones and usually nn inflamed or Infected bursal pad over the joint. There is no cure for bunion short of operation on the joint, involving as a rule the removal of the thickened end of the bones and straightening and reduc tion of the deformity of the Joint. Of course, bunion Is caused by Im proper shoes which turn the great toes out away from the straight In ner border of the soles of normal feet, and the trouble may be pre vented if this abuse of the feet la stopped before the Joint has become; disorganized. Shoes with the straight inside sole lines or slightly incurving inner borders keep the feet in the comfortable, normal position. Odors Aro Harmless. Kindly advise whether working be side a person who appears cleanly enough but whose body emits a ter rible odor endangers my health. (H. o.) . Answer. No. As a rule foul odors are not associated with any com municable disease, and communicable diseases usually cause no foul odors, so there is nothing to fear. Herctlllary Otosclerosis.

He has read every thing that has been published on the game but has never been able to become a good auction player. Every once in a while he has a bad night and when he "does his partners try to grin and bear it. The following hand is an '''lustration of the professor's game: .

He then took out the trumps and led a small club from dummy and finessed with his queen. The king was in A's hand so that the professor failed to make his contract as he subsequent ly lost the king of diamonds which was also in A's hand. After the hand was over, the professor said to his partner, "Well, partner, if the king of clubs had been on the right side, I would have made my bid. His partner, a very good player, replied: You could have gone game without taking the finesse. After you had taken out the opponents' trumps, you should have led a low dia mond toward the queen in dummy. A had the king so that your diamonds were set up and on the last two in your hand, ycu could have discarded twd losing clubs in dummy." This criticism was correct and the profesdor apologized for taking a finesse when it wasn't Answer to Problem No. 1 Hearts none Clubs 8, S, 3 Diamonds 6, 4 ' ' Spades Q, 8,6 Hearts none Clubs Q, 7, 2 Diamonds 7, 3 Spades J, 7,4 Y Z Hearts A, 10,9 Clubs K, 4 Diamonds Q, J Spades 9 i There are no trumps and Z is in the lead.

Count your losing tricks and don't finesse if you don't have to do ao. About an hour later the professor bid one no-trump, all passed and A opened the three of clubs. The profes sor's hand and the dummy's are at follows: Hearts Q, 10,9 Clubs 9, 4, 2 Diamonds Q, 10, 4, 1 Spades 10, 6, 5 : dummy : :A B: : professor : Hearts J, 8, 7, 2 ' Clubs A, 0,7 Diamonds ; A, K, 3 . Spades A, Q, 4 -The professor should have sized tip the hand as follows: "A can only have four clubs for he has led the three and the deuce is in dummy. Therefore, AB should only make two club tricks and two heart tricks. If the diamonds are evenly divided, I can go game without ime&siiig me queen ui niuuce,- 11 mey don't break, then I will have to finesse the queen of spades." Unfortunately, he failed to figure out the hand as outlined, and as soon as he got dummy in the lead, led the spade, finessed the queen and A won the trick with the king of spades. It was now impossible for the professor to go game as he had to lose two club tricks, two heart tricks and one spade trick. To play the hand cor rectly he should have Bet up his hearts and then have played for the drop in ' diamonds. They were evenly divided so that in this way he could have made game. His partner was silent for a min ute and then said: "Well, professor, it looks as if anybody can teach Greek but auction seems- to require a head.

Y would win these two tricks and lead i diamond putting B in the lead with the same re sult. (6) If A allows B to win the third trick with the jack of clubs, the result is the same. All he can make is the king of diamonds, so that Y.Z must make six of the eight tricks against any de fease. A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL .
