CHANGE. PLANS FOR
X.W.,CA. BUILDING
Dom & Deming Rearange De-.
tails Fof Resubmission to
Architectural Jury.

Because Of the unsuitability Of several
details In the plans for theb proposed
Young Women's Christian Association
building. to be located at Thirteenth
and I streets northwest, the local or.
ganization has returned the designs fol-
the 100000 edifice to the architects for
revision
Dom q Deznang, architects, OF ,.thil
city. who recently won q spiritsd COM
petition for the design. are changing
many "details which they win return to
the z W. c. A. architectural Jury for
approval
The handsome structure as. described
from the hrst set of plans outlines a
Georgian colonial building OF rough gray
brick. with wide frontage on / street,
niaJ facade. fanked by two southern
wiIsg. The general scheme win be re-
taihed
Tho main entrance. formerly decided
on for the Thirteenth side of. the build
front, where both the entrance for men,
bers and the visitors entrance will be
combined. :
The cafeteria, located in the first plans
on the upper floor OF the, fye-storied
ground floor and .displace several recep-
ton rooms on the west side, as well
ast the space previously intended for the
entrance lobby. The kitchenette and
dining service will be on the upper
floor.
Especial attention Is to be given to
the entrance hall and lobby. Entering
the building from the str.-ec main en-
! trance. the visitor finds herself in a
spacious and cozy room finished in old
Colonial fashion. Numerous old brick
fireplaces win be distributed about the
han and low-ceiled oak beam effect
will impart the atmosphere of homeIi-
ness which the organization wishes to
emphasize. ..-
ION the upper floor a number of addi-
tional bed rooms will be introduced in
the space displaced by the moving Of
the cafeteria service.
The Y. W. C.. building is intended
to be a place for young women tran
sients. The organization purposes to
conduct a hotel service In as homelike
and helpful q way to women as Is pos
sible. There IL thought OF ruling that
visitors who want to take lodging In the
building viii be restricted to two
weeks stay. thus avoiding filling the
building by permanent dodgers.
A campaign for the funds to finance
the building will be urged with the
coming Of the New Year, and II Is ex-
pected the building may be. begun, and
possibly well under way to completion,
during 1914.

Great Virtue.

There is no greater everyday virtue
than cheerfulness. This quality in
woman is like sunshine to the day, or
gentle renewing moisture to parched
herbs. The light Of cheerful face
diffuses itself and communicates the
happy spirit that inspires it.
The sourest temper must sweeten
in the atmosphere of continuous good
humor. AS well might fog and cloud
and vapor hope to cling to sun-illum-
ined landscape as "the blues and
moroseness to combat jOvial speech
and exhilarating laughter.
There is no path but will be easier
travelled, no load but will be lighter
no shadow on heart or brain but will
lift sooner in the presence of q de-
termined cheerfulness. 1t may at times
seem difficult for the happiest temper
ed to keep the countenance of peace
and content, but difficulty will vanish
when we truly consider that sullen
gloom and passionate despair do moth
ing but multiply thorns and thicken

Der that almost all the ills of life come

no need for anyone to be respondent over
the illness of blood impurities No mat
ter how badly they attack the system, or
how unsightly becomes the skin, just re-
member there is one ingredient in S. S. s.
that so stimulates the cellular tissues
throughout the body that each part Sc
lects it's own essential nutriment from
the blood
This means that all decay, all breaking
down Of the tissues, is checked and re-
pair work begins. S. S. S. has such a
specific influence on all local cells as to
preserve their mutual welfare and afford
a proper relative assistance to each other
More attention is being given to con-
structive medicine than ever before and
S. s. S. is the highest achievement in this
line. For many years people relied upon
mercury, iodide of potash, arsenic, phys
les, cathartics and "dope" as remedies
for blood sickness, but now the pure

GOOD TO REMEMBER
HOUSEHOLD HINTS THAT WILL
BE FOUND OF VALUE.
Easy and Effective Method OF Polish
ing Fioors-Removing Smoke
Marks From CeiIings-To
Marble Freshness.

When Polishing Floors.-Make a
thick pad of felt or velvet and fasten
it over an old WORKOUT and hairless
broom. This makes an excellent
polisher and saves the trouble OF
kneeling on the floor.
To Remove Smoke Marks FROM
Ceilings.-Mix a thick paste of starcn
and water, and with clean Hammer
spread it over the mark. Allow 10
get thoroughly dry, then brush Oh
with a soft brush and the marks VIII
have disappeared.
When Cleaning Mirrors and WIN
dows.-Sprinkle a few drops of metal
polish upon a cloth and rub over the
glass. Leave to dry, then polish Win
clean cloth. This is the quickest
and easiest way to clean them
Before Sweeping the Carpets.-Take
an old round tin, pierce holes in the
bottom, and fill with common salt
Sprinkle this over the carpet. 1t pre-
vents the dust from rising, brightens
the colors, and prevents moths.
To Clean Marble.-Rub with a slice
Of lemon dipped in salt. Leave for
an hour, then wash off. All stains
will be removed and a nice gloss Sc
cured.
To Clean Varnish and Paint.-Rub
with a cloth dipped in a weak solution
of vinegar and warm water. Polish
with a wash leather.
To Clean Gilt Picture Frames
a gill of vinegar into pint of soft
cold water. Remove all dust from the
frames, dip large camers hair brush
in the mixture, squeeze it partly dry
then brush the gilt, doing small por
ton at a time.

IMPORTANT PART OF LUNCH
Sandwiches, Properly Protected, May
Be Kept Appetizing for Almost
Indefinite Period.

If sandwiches are not to be used for
some time after they are made they
can be wrapped in waxed paper and
put in a tin bread or cage box Some
persons wrap them in a slightly damp
cloth and keep them in the ice box
When sandwiches are carried for a
picnic lunch they sometimes taste Of
the box they are carried in, and il
they are wrapped in waxed paper they
carry better in wicker basket
through which the air circulates.
Fruit sandwiches are more gener
ally used than they used to be, and
are so delicious that they ought to
form part of every sandwich repast
They satisfy a natural craving fol
sweets, and are more wholesome and
more easily made than cakes or can
dies.
