GOOD TENNIS COMING.
Norfolk Team Plays Chevy Chase
Labor Day on Local Courts.

Local followers OF the racquet game
will have an excellent opportunity Of en-
joying themselves during the next few
weeks as an unusually attractive sched-
ufe is now being planned
The first OF these contests will be an
inter-city affair between teams repre-
senting Washington and Norfolk. These
matches will be played on Labor day at
the Chevy Chase Clubs courts, begin
ming in the morning and continuing
throughout the day until completed. The
Norfolk team will arrive Sunday and be
the guests of the locals at a dinner Sun
day night and again at luncheon on Mon
day, between the morning and afternoon
matches. The personnel OF the team has
not vet been decided upon. although it Is
understood that II will be an unusually
strong one. The Washington team will
be picked from the following payers
Conrad b. Doyle. Harold K. Doyle,
Spencer Gordon. j. Homer Deis. A. j.
Gore, Ralph w. Hills, Gilbert II. GroSve-
Cake and AL Howard.
On Saturday, September II. the same
team will meet the all-Baltimore team,
and some excellent tennis is looked for.
as the teams are very evenly match a.
1t has not been decided yet whether
| to play these matches on the Bachelor
or the Chevy Chase courts.
| The tennis committee has also an
nounced the annual District championship
tennis tournament TO be played on the
Bachelors courts, Woodley lane, during
the week beginning October ,. Plans
are about completed, and present indica-
tions point to most successful teurna-
ment There will be but one challenge
round, that in the mems singles, IN
which Louis !. Doyle, another of the re
doubtable Doyle family, will meet the
winner of the tourney for the title.
In the other classes handsome prizes
are to be hung up, but there is no
trophy which must be won for three
years by a player before becoming his
| permanent property. which fact accounts
| for the absence of the challenge rounds.
Last years winners in these classes will
| be entrants however. and some cxecel-
| lent tennis will p. obably be shown.

monies. referred to the President Is ''Bev-

boarder''
The President worked hard ct the cor

measured three by four feet and no NOR

took up the silver trowel. he worked In
silence for nearly five minutes. and then.
with a somewhat REDEEMED face he look
ed up and laughingly inquired:
Where's the mason? Where's my
boss?''
Every one laughed and the mason step
ped forward. He gave some directions,

sumed his job.

A UNIVERSAL FOOD
Folowine Nature's Footsteps.

Il have a boy. two years CID weighing
forty pounds and in perfect health who
has been raised on Grape-Nuts and milk
This IS an ideal food and evidently
furnishes the elements necessary for a
baby as vel as for adults. We have
used Grspe-Nuts in large quantities and
greatly to our advantage
One advantage a--out CraDe-Nuts food
is that il is pre-dige sted in the process OF
manufacture; that is the starch contained
in the wheat and barley is transformed
into a form Of sugar by the same method
Is this process Is carried out in the human
nOdy. that is. by the use Of moisture and
long exposure to moderate warmth which
grows the diaSt2Se in the grains and makes
the remarkable change from starch 10 sugar
Therefore, the most delicate stomach
can handle Grape-Nuts and the food Is
quickly absorbed into the blood and tissue
certain parts Of it going directly to build
ing and nourishing the brain and nerve
centres.
