THE NEWSPAPER THAT
WINS PUBLIC APPROVAL

From a talk on Reasonable Restrictions
On the Freedom of the Press" given by
Charles III. Grasty. formerly editor Of
the Baltimore Sun, before the American
Sociological association.
Only men thoroughly experienced in the
workings of Journalism can keep in the
straight and narrow path when, according
to the ordinary business view, there lies
another and less difficult road to success.
No business man ever yet succeeded in
Journalism without first forgetting all that
he previously knew about business. In
all dealings with advertisers there must be
the strictest adherence to public stand
ards: If he is entitled to the ordinary
consideration of a business customer, his
enjoyment of such consideration will es-
tablish precedents and analogies that
logically lead to the utter destruction Of
the public character Of journalism.
The paper that is dickering and swap
ping with the advertiser can never be on
such terms with the reader as to make the
advertisers use of it's columns profitable
to him.. The paper that puts commercial
ism first will never have a place In the
family circle. The esteem and affection
without which no newspaper can be d sue

newspaper thai concerns itself chiefly
about salesnanship. And the newspaper

editor of today does not go about his work
with a consciousness of the laws of libel,
but at all times he is sensible of the same
forces that are maturing public Judgment
all around him. The newspaper that Of
tends the prevailing sense of right and
good taste inevitably suffers a loss Of
prestige. and it is through the play Of
forces of this kind. rather than the re-
strictions of constitutions and laws, that
newspapers are held to their obligations.

and, second, to ommen fairly on 1t.

prone to welcome an easy-chair and Z

ping Of horses in crossing this stream.
The thin maid who really wants to
add pounds Of plumpness must reg
lister a solemn vow that she will OBJ
serve a 10-mfnute period of rest at
least twice a day. Neither is this to be
any ordinary rest, say the Mothers
Magazine. Every binding article of
clothing is to be removed and, with he
body clad in nothing more combining
han a loose lounging-robe, she is to
sink back in a chair, and let the energy
actually oooZe from every inch of her
body. This is not so simple as it
sounds. First, the fingers should be
made limp. then the wrists should re-
the arms. then feet. ankles, legs. Next
the head should be allowed to drop
heavily, to the side, front. other side;
and finally. the whole body should be
made as limp as the proverbial dish
rag. Having attained this enyiable
condition, close the eyes, making the
lids heavy, and rest quietly. without
movement and with as little mental ac-
tivity as possible. Ten minutes, morn
ing and night, Of this deliberate relax
alton will lessen the body tension, and,
therefore reduce h waste of energy.
