FIND BODY OF
SERC. LEACH

After a search that lasted until
almost dark Monday evening the
body of Sergt. Frank Leach, who
was drowned Sunday afternoon
when his canoe capsized in Amer
lean lake, was found by members
of the military police.
Leach had evidently tried to
swim ashore and been overcome
with cromps, as his body was half
way between shore and the spot
where the accident occurred.
Halibut hooks borrowed from
the Glacier Fish Co. we're sue
cessful in bringing the body to the
surface. Leach was of a cheerful
disposition, and had smile on his
face, even in death. He was :
member of the 316th engineers.

bitterly when he couldn't get It..
There Is no doubt that the
opponents Of the food admin
f.tration are determined to
go the limit I'm discrediting
Hoover and his work.
They may-and probably will
LAY bare more mistakes. Hoov-
err is only human, and he has built
up a tremendous organization and
grappled with a wide variety OF
problems in a few short months.
Somewhere along the line there
may have been slips.
But amidst all the hubbub rails
ed before the Reed committee, the
public should not lose sight of
the one prime question?
HAS HOOVER GOT RESULTS?
Sugar during the Civil war
went to 35 cents pound
wholesale, and there was no
world shortage.
Early In this fall there was
a general propaganda spread
by unseen forces thru the
east that sugar this winter
would be 35 cents a pound.
And no doubt 1t would
have been had the sugar pro-
fiteers had their own sweet
will.
But Herbert Hoover held
the price Staady.
There was no killings" in
sugar.
The people were saved millions
in excess profits that would have
been tackled onto their sugar
bills.
And the few men who would
have divided most OF these mil
lions acquired a crouch and an
extreme dislike for the food ad-
ministration.
1t Is possible Mr.. Spreckles Is
one of these, for Hoover himself
says:
~ realize that Mr.. Spreck-
les balance sheet will not
look SO good next year as
last, for refiners' profits have
been regulated. Mr.. SIreck-
les therefore has reason to
feel badly"
Also it should be remembered
that Senator Reed, who fought
the food control bill for 10 weeks
in the senate and is now chair
man of the Investigating commit
tee, prophesed the failure of the
law and Hoover's downfall.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-12-25

Other influences, however, than
certain sugar interests, are vitality
concerned just now in discrediting
the food administration.
Inscriptions dealers in other
necessities, knowing that their
chance for killing" may come
next, would like to diseredit the
administration and tie Ms hands
by restrictive legislation before it
is too late for them to reap their
harvest.
| Still Others--as instance certain
large baking corporations are
still sore from the pressure
Hoover applied to force them to
cut bread prices, and are out with
hammers and tomahawks.
For a fair understanding OF the
evidence" against the food ad-
ministration that is being brought
out before the senate committee,
the public should recall that Sen
ator Reed of Kansas City, Mo-,
chairman of the investigating
committee, is the senator who
fought most bitterly the passage
of the food control law.
Also 1t should be understo God
that the committee has refused to
permit counsel for the food ad-
ministration to cross-examine wit
nesses who have been airing
grievances against the Hoover ad-
mimistration.
In the sugar inquiry, the chief
witness and complainant against
the food administration has been
Claus A. Spreckles, president Fed
eral Sugar Refining Co.
The food administration admits
it refused Spreckles permission to
pay more than the agreed price
for some $4,000 tons of Cuban raw
sugar, and that as a result some
10000 tons Of 1t went to Canada
The vast bulk, however, came
into the United States at the low er
price. To have permitted an in
crease in the price of Cuban sugar
at that time, would have forced
a corresponding increase in the
price of Hawaiian sugar just then
being negotiated for, and would
have been the entering wedge that
would have disrupted the whole
system of sugar control.
AS to favoritism, which Spreck-
les charges, 1t may be developed
later at the hearings that
Spreckles himself asked for his re-
fineries far more than his proper
tionate share of raw sugar brought
into this country and complained

SUGAR bAR0NS
FIGHT HOOVER;
HAVE A REASON
Especial to The Times.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec 25-There has been
sugar shortage in the United States. But prices adj
vanced only one or two cents pound
There has been no such opportunity since the civil
war for large holders of sugar to skyrocket prices
and clean up millions overnight
But Herbert Hoover, food administrator had block
ed the chance for anyone to make killing in sugar
lie knew the prices at which sugar moved to the
finer and to the wholesaler and to the retailer and he
had ruled that any refner, wholesaler or retailer who
eXacted exorbitant profits would lose his license to
do business
AS result sugar prices have remained steady
and millions of dollars that but for his regulation
would have dropped into the hands of the Sugar
Shylocks have remained in the purses of Ameri-
can housewives.
That, in brief, is the whole story of the why and
wherefore of the waging here before the sen
ate investigating committee" against Hoover and
the food administration

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness In
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
COINS was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-ady
