Newspapers which practice imposition of this kind always arc punished. Both advsrtisers and read err lose confidence in and gradually desert such publications.
 Tn almoste every sphere of activity there h af press agent whose duty 1t Is to take newspaper managers un- aware. Advertising Is disguised as news to trap the xuiless editor.
 The best rule for an editor is to treat news as news. If a thine has news value 1t <. should be printed, whether or not it. helps the adver- tiser. but 1t should never be printed as news simply because 1t helps the advertiser. Tho mere fact that an advertiser has some connection with the news should not hinder its pub- licatton."
 There were cases, said Mr. Wiley, in which advertisers had threatened to withhold paid advertising unless free pubMcity, was sivsn. Weak minded publishers had submitted to this sort of .'blackmail'' but, he added,
 no self respecting newspaperman will allow an advertiser to dictate what he shall or shall not print and he certainly will defy any impertinent individual who threatens loss of pa : tronage unless favors are granted."
 The public. Mir. Wiley said. has no use for the paid "write-up'' and less respect for the newspaper that pub fishes 1t and the rnisguidAd u,1hlisl,o,. who prostitutes his news columns to secure advertising constantly finds himself in hot water.

BY BAN JOHNSON.

President of the American League
CHICAGO, April 10.--In the his
tory of the American league there
never was a year when The organi-
cation was so we'll equipped for d
championship race
A few days ago | received letter
from Connie Mack In which he gave
re the assurance that he had vast
" improved club over the club Of
last year an6 one that was sure to
prove a factor in the chan pionship
race. If we con accent this decla-
ration. then there are eight con-
tenders well balanced for a giueling
ffgnt. beginning tomorrow.
Everyone will eoncede that chica-
go, Eoston, New York aud Detroit
ere bound to be prime faVorites. The
Cleveland club has been greatly
strengthened, which is attested by
tire fact that Morton has shown all
the strength no developed in the be-
ginning of the season. Joe Wood
claims his right arm has been well
restored, so with eoveleskie. Bagby
and kiepfer in support, Cleveland is
sure to have formidable staff Of
pitchers.
Many wise baseball men contend
ed last fall that New York would
have carried off the prize had it not
been for the fnnumerable accidents
which put some OF its best players
out Of commission during the sum-
mer.
The st. Louis club, under the
leadership of Jones. must be reck-
oned with. Had the Browns start
ed their tremendous drive earlier
in the season the pennant might
have gone to the organization rep
resenting the season by the big
bridge.
We all know OF Boston's worth
and the fighting spirit OF the Sen
ators, under the guidance OF that
wise and skillful manager, Clark
Griffith.
War may place an indelible mark
upon our patronage, but it cannot
stamp out contest that is sure to
be keen, thorough and exciting from
tie tap of the ball until the finish
in October.

HOME PREPAREDNESS
CORN As MAJOR GENERAL
BY CARL VROOMAN,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
Member National Emergency Food
Garden Commission.
written for the United Press.)

WASHINGTON, April To- Corn
meal is a cheap and valuable food
stuff which is not in as general use
in the American home as 1t ought to
be. A pound of dry eornmeal pro-
Vides about five times as much en-
ergy and tissue building protein as
does q pound of raw potatoes. Just
now a pound of eornmeal costs Ia
to 16 as much.
.pensiye, cornmeal makes an excel
lent substitute 1t is not, how ever,
a perfect substitute fer potatoes be-
cause, as 1t is prepared by modern
milling methods, it contains fewer
Minerals and other valuable sub
stances. So when eornmeal IS b.
stituted, balance it with another veg
etable, d salad or a fruit.
Cornmeal mush for breakfast or
supper is standard and palatable
dish. Fried. it is an excellent sub
stitute for fried potatoes. There are
dozens of cornmeal dishes in addi-
ten to the various varieties OF corn
bread. What is known in the north
as Boston brown bread is composed
of about half rye meal and half
eornmeal Polenta is another corn
meal dish extremely popular through
out southern Europe and in certain
parts of the United States. Tamales
is another dish in high favor when
properly made.
If spectators corner the potato
crop or as was the case in 1916, If
the potato crop should be short,
cornmeal is the next best thing.
Rice is partial substitute for pota-
tees, but rice now costs more than
eornmeal. Cornmea1 is very whole
some.

AN INVITATION TO WOMEN

Women are invited to visit the
laboratories of the Lydia e. Pinkham
Medicine Co. at Lynn, Mass, and
see for themselves with what accur-
aey, skill and cleanliness this Won
dcrful remedy for women's ailments
Is prepared. Over $4,000 pounds
of roots and herbs are used annual
" in making this famous medicine.
The great bins of herbs, the huge
tanks filled the medicine ready to
be bottled, and the bottling room
where it is put up and labeled for
the market. cannot help but impress
them with the reliability of this
good, fashioned root and herb
remedy, which for the past forty
years has been SO successful i'll the
