La Grande, Ore., December 17,
(To the Editor of the Observer.)
The submarine has utterly failed to
accomplish the enil it had in view by
tho kaiser at the beginning of the
World War. It has not and it will
not starve England into submission
to Germany. Instead of that it will
to England prove a blessing In dis
guise by awakening her to the neces
sity of discovering and adopting a
safer and speedier modo of travel
than the slow methods of the past on
land and water.
For generations past the nations
of tho world have vied with each
other in their ambitious efforts to ac
quire more territory and accumulate
moro wealth, all losing sight of the
fact that there was a higher destiny
for man than either one or the other
and that neither gold nor territory,
but knowledge was the true source of
power and also the source of pro
gress. God intends the human race to
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
Which Is Better Try an Experiment
or Profit by a La Grande Cit
izen's Experience.
Something new in an experiment.
Must le proved to be as represent
ed.' - Tho statement of a rifanufacturer is
not convincing proof of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had a bad back.
A lame, weak, or aching one,
Would you experiment on it?
You will read of many so-called
cures.
Endorsed by strangers from far
away places.
It's different when tho endorsement
comes from home.
Easy to prove local testimony.
Read this La Grande case.
G. M. Tall, retired farmer, N. Sec
ond st. La Grande, says: "We have
used Dban's Kidney Pills in our fami
ly for a good many years and they
have never failed to give great re
sults. Whenever I notice my kidneys
are not acting ns they should, I take
n few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills
and they soon relieve the trouble. I
eouldn't . recommend anything better
than Doan's for kidney disorders."
Price (!0c, at nil dealers. Don't sim
ply 03k for n kidney remedy get

Mr. Tall had. Fostor-Milburn Co..

progress and is now forcing that
progress on the nations by the law of
self preservation. The kaiser by tho
submarine has made the ocean too
unsafe as a means of travol for Eng
land and has driven her into the air
and convinced John Dull that he can
fly and thus tho kaiser will, unknow
ingly and unintentionally become
England's friend by awakening her
to the possibilities in her resources
never drenmed. of by her ablest
statesmen. Just at present England
is having a little trouble witli the law
of gravitation because she and the
other nations have yet to learn that
that law can be controlled or sus
pended. The next block to her progress is
tho mistaken idea of n speed limit in
aerial locomotion. There is no speed
Ilnit in aerial locomotion. That truth
is written In letters of fire on every
milestone in the universe. There is
no limit to speed in space, roy to the
possibilities of man. Let Undo Sam
also sit up and take notice while
building his air fleet, to cut out tho
speed limit on these craft and figure
on carrying men and munitions
. . .
across the the Atlantic, not'ln ten
days, but, probably ten hours or less,
I hear some one cry Impossible, but
don't listen to that man. It's the
same fellow who has been hollowing
"Impossible" ever since Noat) 1 uilt
the ark and has been blocking the
wheels of progress over since. To
limit tho possibilities of man is to
deny tho infinite.
God is now whipping the natior.3
into line In the march of progression
and it will pay us bettor to learn the
lesson than to criticize the Illble ke
cause after nil has been 3aii! tliors is
not very much difference in the hum
an family only what is created by
different circumstances.

Tho History of Hoover.
Hoover Is the United States food
commissioner. Ho Is trying to en
courage people to save whnt they
might have wasted. We can save
flour and vegetables, by canning; we
also can save many things by pickl
ing, by storing away in the cellar, by
cleaning ttp our plates, and by sav
ing money that we buy unnecessary
things with.
Scraps of bread, cake, meats and
many other things can be saved from
tho table. With bread wo can make
puddings, stuffing, and rollings for
meat. With cake, pudding. With
meat we can make stews, and hash,
and many other things we would not
hrvo had. The result is that we are

helping the soldiers and that we arc
helping Hoover save. There is n
shortage of tood because the Allies
are fighting at tho front and are not
on farms to raise their own foods, so
they have asked the United States
to help them so that we may win the
war.
England, rielgium, Italy and
France, ln times of peace took from
U3. 83,000,000 bushels of flour, but
now in time of war they take from
us 220,000.000 bushels. They use
1-4 corn, but if we send them corn
they have very few corn mills and
can not supply the want for it. But
if we should grind it up and send It
to them it would spoil before it
reached them. So we should send
,them whole wheat flour. The bak
eries can not make corn bread and
distribute it, for it is too soft and
would crumble up.
We are saving meat for tho Allies
as they are fighting and can not be
on farms lo feed their stock, thoro
for each of ns shfluldsavc ono ounce
of meat a day. In times of pence
the Allies had 33,000.000 head of
