If the doctor prescribes a diet and orders a patient to refrain from sweets the patient Is bound to obey his adviser. What Is the use of calling a physician and paying him for sug gestions If the latter are treated with Indifference? People In ordinary health need not he afraid to gratify an appe-. the which crave* sweets. Those who have looked into the matter have been telling us lately that soldiers on the march hold out better If they have rations of sugar than If their food omits this useful commodity. A fond- defense sugar is often ness against the temptation to use alcoholic stimulants. The inebriate does not care very much about pure sweets. a Few Ysars Ago. Vessels built to navigate under wa ter require particular care in their construction, for when they are sub merged they have to withstand the pressure of water from all aides with out showing the slightest leak. -The newest submarines must be able to sink to a depth of 150 feet or more. At such a depth the pressure is tre mendous, and if the Joints are not per feet water squirts in as though through a hose pipe. Ten years ago testing a new submarine was a dangerous Job. She might not be watertight Her bal- ance might not be perfect, or, again, the air system might not be equal to blowing out the water from her tanks Terrible accidents have occurred in testing new under water boats during actual submergence, but today all that is a thing of the past A testing dock is used, which was invented by an Italian engineer. Major Laurenti. It la a huge cylinder, into which the sub- marine is floated. A caisson at the end is closed and hermetically sealed The cylinder Is built so as to stand tremendous pressure, and pressure is slowly applied until It equals some thing far greater than the submarine herself will ever be called on to en dure. The men inside are in communies tlon with those outside by means of telephone, so that if anything goes wrong the trial can at once cease- Pearson's Weekly. HIGH COST OF SHOES, It Sends the Dealers on a Hunt For Substitutes For Leather. “Years ago the shoe dealers’ cry was ‘beware of substitutes for leather I’ Now our cry is ‘give us substitutes so that we can sell shoes more cheaply to the masses.’ ” Thus spoke A. H. Geuting, Philadel phia retailer, secretary of the National Shoe Retailers' association. “I'm wear Ing a substitute sole now,” he added. “Substitutes wear longer than leath er—they give greater satisfaction and save the wearer money,” Geuting con tinued. “Shoes for which we paid a wholesale price of $5 In 1915 now cost us $8, $3.50 shoes now cost us $6, and shoes for which I paid $2.25 formerly now cost me $4.25. "Not long ago the highest priced shoes in our stores sold for $8; now they sell for $18 and $20. A shoe store on Fifth avenue, New York, is selling shoes at $35 a pair. “With sole leather costing 90 cents a pound, kid skins $1.30 a square foot and with the insurance and freight on imported goatskins from the orient alone costing 40 cents- as much as the !<lns formerly cost the high cost of shoes is explained."- Cincinnati Times Star.

OREGON WHY WE ARE AT WAR WITH GERMANY DOUGLASS ADAMS ment Leland Stanford Junior University t that the history of the rest of’ Morta Ie no longer left to Its „handling — President Wilson, August 27, 1917 THIS WAR IS ONE OF SELF PRESERVATION “Here,” says Everyman, “was a Kaiserdom seeking world domination —and perilously near encompassing it unless the world united to repel him.” Thus the radical land reformer sees the Issue. Is there any ene still blind to it? But were we in America directly threatened? We were, and we are threatened. A German book published 1914, and the United States called “Truth About Germany,” sought to inflame us against England and France, and to persuade us that Amer- lea and Germany had common ideals, characteristics, and methods. ( May God save us!) It argued smoothly: “Two nations united by such common inclinations and ideals, boldness of en- terprise, farsightedness, quickness of intellectual decision, admiration achievements, can not help being ex ceedingly congenial to each other.” Pleasant words—but a lying tongue. Would Germany, once master of Eu rope, remember our "congeniality,” and be a good neighbor in the Amer- leas? The Germans when writing for home consumption hold a different language about world relations and "neighbors.” “Formerly German thought was shut up In her German corner, but now the world shall have its eoat cut ac cording to German measure, and as far as our swords flash and German bloods flows, the circle of the earth shall come under the tutelage of Ger- A sturdy German man activity. egoism must characterize all political The first principle of action our policy, both at home and abroad, must be that in everything that hap- pens the Germans should come off best, and the others should have a bad time of It." A nice, congenial neighbor! But Germany, when honest, directly avows her purpose, ultimately, against America. We must “wake up.” or we will be the easy “next step" in her ambitions. "Germany . . . may In less than two centuries succeed In dominating the whole globe ... If only it can In time strike out a 'new course,’ and definitely break with An glo-American method* of government, and with the state-destroying ideals of the Revolution." She Is trying out her “new course" now. "On* thing alone can profit the German people: the acquisition of new territory, . , that alone can really promote the diffusion, the growth, and the deep ening of Germanism." "Before seek- ing to found a Greater Germany in other continents, we must seek to create a Greater Germany tn Central Europe." “We must see to It that the outcome of our next suc- cessful war must be the acquisition of colonies." "We must make room for an empire of Germanic race which shall number 100,000,000 inhabitants, tn order that we may hold our own against masses such as those of Russia and the United States " Still further. It 1* no longer a secret that Germany, while we were still unprepared—were neutral—and while Germany still ostensibly sought our friendship, secretly planned, when vie- torious In Europe, to pick a quarrel with u* and wring from us part of the coats of her European war. If the American “easy chair” is still comfortable serioua thought of what Germany means to do to us, than America deserves the fate in store for her. This is the material side of our peril, but there Is another and deeper side. This war Is our war, to secure our purposes tn national and In interna tional development. If Germany should win, her principles must triumph and force alone must rule the world, with the strong exploiting the earth If the war ends tn a drawn battle, with Germany unchanged In Ideals and pur posea, all that is left of the world will be compelled to engage In the race of military preparedness, and the world will be forced to adopt Ger many's methods—now so hateful to ua A Germany undefeated would force us to destroy the very basts of our government, our policy, our social and Industrial life—to devote ourselves, capital and labor, persons and prop. •rty, to one object —a mighty mill- tarism Unless win this war the mightest, most for liberty to continue tn our accus- temed Une of progress Authorized subscription representative of The Ladies’ Home Journal Have You a Coal Bin?
