USE DISHES WHICH
CONTAIN LITTLE SUGAR

Sugar consumption in many house.
holds can be easily lowered not only
by giving preference to dishes which
contain little sugar or with which
sugar is not usually served, but also
by the use of sweet puddings, or a
salad in place of dessert. Sweet dried
fruits, such as dates, raisins or figs,
served with breakfast cereals win re-
duce the sugar needs.-Extension N.

duty to his country and spoke meaning
ly of courts-martiaI for ytung men who
were determined to evade military serv-
ice. No one paused long enough to
permit the young man to ask questions
or give an explanation.
Finally, an officer who overheard
one conversation asked to be permitted
to talk with the young man. and his
questions about the registrant's previ-
Gus occupations brought out the facts.
The young man today is back at his

willing to fight or because he could not
fit pipes. but because subsequent
physical examination showed him to be

Small Apartments in Buildings
Surrounding Proposed Club
Under Consideration.
GREATER D. C. IS FORECAST

The need for additional housing IA
cilities in Washington probably will re-
suit in the erection in the Chevy Chase
section of a group of permanent one
and two room apartment house build
ings by private capital. it was learned
today.
The project has not yet taken definite
shape, but the tentative plan is to
erect the buildings in Connecticut ave-
nue. between the bridge and the circle.
The projected outlay. it is expected.
would be in the neighborhood of $780,
900.
The housing project is the outgrowth
of plans launched some time ago by
members of the Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association. acting as indi-
viduals, to erect a novel suburban club
in their section
Plan Group Around Club.
The plan now being considered is to
build the housing apartments in a
group around the proposed club. 1t is
understood that plans already have
been drawn for the club, with the cost
estimated at s125.000. While it is not
proposed to make the club commu-
nifty center, any resident of the section
Will be eligible and al social gather
ingS could be held there.
w. B. Westlake. a resident of the
section. and one of the men interested
in the project, expressed the belief to-
day that if the plan is carried out
Washington will have one of the most
novel suburban housing settlements in
the United States
The tentative plan is to make the
buildings three stories high. The ada
cent club probably will include a din
ing room.
Persons interested in the project be-
1ieve that Washington is going to grow
rapidly after the war, and that there
will be demand for the small apart
ment. such as is proposed in the
group of buildings in Chevy Chase.
The citizens associations are making
progress in their city-wide canvass for
vacant rooms to house the hundreds of
young women who are expected to come
here to work for the government before
July. The war work committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations is
directing the canvass through the as
sociatiops in each neighborhood. This
canvass, it is expected, will bring out
every available room in the private
homes of the city and will then give the
government some idea of how many
dormitories or temporary homes will
have to be built to accommodate those
who cannot be placed in the city's
homes.
Although the room registration bu-
reau of the District council of defense,
1921 New York avenue, now has a sur
plus of rooms, Edwin S. Hege, IN
charge of the bureau. does not know
what day another quota of war clerks
will arrive and take them. If you have
a room vacant and member of a citi-
zens association has not called at your
home. list your room at the New York
avenue bureau

You tell me that you recognize in

But IL worry frequently causes a
lowered state of health. it is likewise
true that a lowered state OF health Is
q frequent cause of worry.
You. being by your own admission
a chronic worrier, are almost certainly
in poor physical shape. The chances
are even, or little more than even,
that your tendency to worry Is the
result rather than the cause OF your
physical deficiencies
In any event. if only you wdl1 take
the trouble to strengthen your body,
you are sure to find it far easier to
substitute cheerful thoughts for gloomy
ones.
