WIRES BURN
OUT; LIGHTS
OFF in CITY

Half of Tacoma's residence Sec
ton was without electric lights
from $50 until midnight Monday
as the result of the burning out
of connection between 1000
volt high-tension wires on top of
a city pole at 25th and G. SITS.
The lights went out after one of
the most brilliant pyrotechnic dis
plays ever seen in Tacoma. A jet
of electric fire shot 25 feet into
the air from the top of the pole,
throwing a myriad of sparks in
every direction and melting away
three other electric wires conferred
at the same spot.
The burned out connection set
fire to the pole, and city linemen
were forced to climb to the top
of the flaming upright and extin-
guish the fire with chemicals.
Linemen were afraid of the high
tension current afterwards, and
no one would venture up the pole
for an inspection until Electric

Downtown lights were not af-
fected by the accident. The en-

Tourist Business
ITOR THE TINES:

GDIIOh TIE IlMEo.
Referring to your editorial in a
recent Times-"Let 1t Wait" -
Tidiculing the intention of the
Northwest Tourist association to
send a lecturer on an eastern tour
to tell the tired business men OF
the east what fine country the
Northwest is in which to spend a
vacation, would say that We usual
ly agree with your views in regard
to public and civic matters, but
believe that. you have not given
this matter as much attention as ii
deserves else you would have a
different idea In regard to it.
AS you know the travel to the
mountain last year was the heav-
Test in its history, due to the fact
that people came to the North west
instead of going to Europe.
There is always a certain
amount of tourist travel under any
conditions, and now that we have
an opportunity to bring the at
fractions of the Northwest to the
attention of those people who for
one reason or another spend their
money and their time in travelling,
surely we ought to take advantage
of this condition instead of dis
couraging people from coming.
We are enclosing herewith ex-
tracts from an article by Emerson
Hough in the Saturday Evening
Post, entitled Greater Yellow
stone" in which Mr.. Hough says
that our people have travelled to
. certain extent not for pleasure

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most con.
spicuous thing about us and il
probably the most easily damaged
by bad or careless treatment. II
we are very careful in hair wash.
ing, We will have virtually no hair
troubles. And especially fine
shampoo for this weather. one that
brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair; that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, ex-
cess Oil and dirt; can easily ba
used at trifling expense by simply
dlssolving a teaspoonful of Can.
throx (which you can get at any
druggfsts) in cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
hquid-enough so it is easy to
apply 1t to all the hair instead OF
Just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
ana creates a soothing, cooling
iather. Rinsing leaves the scaIb

SUSPECT
w OMAN
BURGLAR

That woman burglar may be
responsible for some of the bold
downtown robberies of the past
few days is the belief of Tacoma
police officers, following the rob-
berry Monday afternoon of DR.. r.
Draper Coale's offices, 500 Fidel-
ity building.
DIR. Coale was out of his office
for some time and when he re-
turned discovered that a thief had
entirely ransacked it. DR.. T. F.
Smith, who has offices adjoining,
reported he had heard a woman's
voice several times from DR..
Coale's offices during the robbery.
The thief's loot included SIS
worth of dental gold, a gold mug
get, one dental plate and a valua-
BILE platinum pin. Several SINH
lar downtown robberies have &C.
Cured in the past few days.

Short Change
Artist BUSY

Tacoma police are looking to-
day for a clever short change art
list who took $50 from a young
woman clerk in the State Build
ing & Loan office, 1909 Pacific
ave., Monday afternoon, by a new
ruse.
The man hurried into the loan
office hatless and dressed in a
white coat, similar to a barber or
waiter. He offered 500 bill
and asked the girl to change it
for him. She handed over a $50
bill, two $40 bills and one for
$40.
He stuffed them in his pocket.
"Oh, say" he said, II find that
l have 10 dollars here, SO l
don't need that change. Give me
back the bill, will your"
The girl handed back the 500
note, and he handed over the bun
die of bills. It wasn't until some
time later that she discovered he
had kept the $50 bill and given
her those of small denomination.

Chronic Indigestion
May Cause Cancer
How to Relieve and Prevent.

Chronic indigestion, dyspepsia
or gastritis on account of the con-
slant irritation is very likely to
lead to stomach ulcers; which ac-
cording to leading authority
may ultimately lead to cancer it.
self. 1t is therefore evident that
indigestion far from being a SIM
pie or trivial ailment is some
thing which should be treated
with great seriousness-that ev-
cry effort should be made to pre-
vent the development of those
ulcers which so often lead to such
serious consequences. The sur
est way to do this, Is to neutral
ize excess acid and stop food fer
mentation-two things that keep
the stomach constantly in a pain
fully inflamed and distended con-
dition--and for this purpose there
is nothing quite SO positive and
instant in its action as a tea
spoonful of Bi-nesia taken in half
a glass of hot water Immediately
after eating or whenever pain is
felt. Bi-nesia, which is also OBJ
tainable of druggists in the form
of 5-grain tablets-two of which
are equal to spoonful of the
powder instantly neutralize the
acid, stops the fermentation and
forms protective coating over
the inflamed stomach lining, thus
promoting painless normal diges-
tion and giving nature a chance
to repair the damage done. These
reasons, together with the fact
that Bi-nesia almost invariably
relieves the most intense dyspep-
tic pains in two or three minutes,
explains why it is now SO widely
used by physicians and in hospi-
tails instead OF dangerous pain
deadening drugs.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Jan. %.
Price fixing, on a scale hereto
fore untried by any nation, is pro-
vided in draft of a bill President
Wilson has laid before the house
agriculture committee.

The bill will control both whole
sale and retail prices, it is under
stood.
II congress fails to give Hoover
power to enforce observation of
meatless and wheatless days, the
food administration may act under
presidential proclamation. NIL
lions of food cards are being pre-
pared and will shortly be issued
to restaurants, housewives and
thousands of others.
Drastic steps to conserve food
are imperative, it is admitted at
the food administration. Unpatri-

house keepers are refusing to
obey meatless and wheatless or
ders. The whole conservation
movement is in danger of col
lapse, officials say, unless some
step DIS taken to whip unpatriotic
restaurant keepers and others
into line.

The point we were seeking
to make was that this is no
time for artificially stimu-
lating tourist business.
The railroads of the cOun.
try are unable now to handle
the NECESSARY travel; let
us not be encouraging addi-
uOnal non-essential travelling.
Tacoma has all 1t can pos
sibly do to care for the ship
building, spruce airplane
stock and army needs Of the
government without worrying
about tourists now.
OF course, we have an ideal
country for travellers to see;
The Times has always con.
tended that. OF course, we
entertained great numbers of
them during the first three
years Of the war when they
were cut off from journeys
abroad.
But what we insist is that
now is no time to be devoting
our energies to building up
the tourist industry. Let us
win this war first, and care
for the tourist business aft
erward. The railroads and
the hotels are needed for war
purposes. The money and ef-
fort that the tourist associa-
ton proposes to spend in its
promotion campaign better
be put into q war thrift CAM
paign.
The money and time the
tourists would expend next
summer might much better
be devoted TO recreation closer

but for respite, and that the past
three years has shown that we
have attractions in our own coun-
try that far surpass those OF
Europe.
California is keeping after this
tourist travel for all there is in it.
1t is estimated that the revenue
from the automobile traffic in
southern California during the
past three or four months has been
between 100000 and $10,-
100000. Surely this item of
wealth to southern California is
well worth cultivating in our own
Northwestern country, and we
should bend every energy to turn
the tide of tourist travel in this
direction. Our people are certain
ly blind enough and dead enough
to what they possess here along
this line without the press trying
to discourage further efforts.
We believe that after you have
given this phase of the matter a
little more thought you will con-
clude that there was never a bet
ter time to bring to the front the
attractions of the Pacific North
west-when people cannot travel
to Europe and when they are

of exhaustion in many cases and

Wichita, July IS. Complaints
have been received by the food ad

quickly than bread made wholly from
white flour.
In reply the food administration to-
day issued the following:N
Bread made from flour with rs
per cent substitutes will not keep in
hot weather as well as all wheat bread.
Therefore bread should be kept in
a ccol place when the weather is hot.
The ice box is the best place.
Bread placed in ap-ice box should
he wrapped to keep out moisture and
the odors from other foods. Any paper
VIII be good. but waxed paper is the
hest.
Bread which is not kept In an ice
box also should be wrapped. In moist
weather the paper will keep out the
moisture and in dry weather will keep
the bread from drying out so rapidly.
I'm case it is impossible to keep
bread in a cool place the baking should
be small. so all the bread will be
consumed before it has time to SPOIL"

regret to return without my sigma
1854, entitled AN Act Making APP

Agriculture for the Fiscal Year End
ing June so, 1919" but I feel con-
strained to do so because of my earn
est dissent from the point of view of
principle as we'll as wise eXpediency
from the provisions of that part of sec
ton Il which prescribes a uniform
minimum price for No. 2 northern
spring wheat OF $2.40 a bushel.
l dissent upon principle, because
I believe that such inelastic legislative
price provisions are insusceptible of
being administered in a way that will
be advantageous either to the producer
or to the consumer. establishing as
they do, arbitrary levels which are
quite independent of the normal mar
ket conditions and because 1 believe
that the present method of regulation
by conference with all concerned, has
resulted in the most satisfactory man
ner, considering the complexity and
variety of the subject matter dealt
with.
1t is, evident that the present meth
cd of determining the price to be paid
for wheat has had the most stimulat-
ing effect upon production, the esti-
mated crop of spring wheat for this
year exceeding all high records in a
very remarkable and gratifying way.
By an overwhelming majority of the
farmers of the United States, the price
administratively fixed has been re-
garded as fair and liberal and objec-
tions TO it have come only from those
sections of the country where, unfor-
tunately, it has, in recent years, proved
impossible to rely upon climatic con-
d!tions 10 produce a full crop of wheat,
and where. therefore. many disap-
pointments to the farmer have proven
to be unavoidable.
Personally, I do not believe the
farmers of the country depend upon
the stimulation of price to do their
utmost to serve the nation and the
world at this time of crisis byNexert-
ing themselves to an extraordinary
degree to produce the largest and best
