Editorial Comment

THE WRONG PRINCIPLE
m the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The Secretary of the Navy has re.
quested the newspapers not to publish
the arrivals of ships. The New York
Times will comply with this request,
but there devolves upon us the duty
Of pointing out that the Secretary is
proceeding upon the wrong principle
This wrong principle is that the Amer.
lean people should be deprived of in
formation which the enemy can easily
get, for hereby the rectification of
mistakes may be made more difficult.
Any one interested is knowing when
ship arrives can find it out whether
the newspapers print the fact or not;
1t is not a secret; nothing can be
secret which is known to a whole
waterfront and to anybody with a
telephone. German agents will know
it as soon as any one else. They
should not be allowed to send the In
formation to Germany. and the cen.
sorshlp, therefore, should be rigid on
outgoing messages at the cable and
telegraph offices. To leave 1t out OF
the newspapers will not even hinder
the German spies, and will have no
effect except to deprive the people
needlessly of convenience.
However, it is not the needlessness
and uselessness Of the restriction
that interests us, but the apparent
disposition to act upon a wrong prin.
ciple which, If not abandoned, may do
harm If this principle had been &C,
cepted in its fullness, there would

LIFT YOUR cORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus SO 1t lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
IL your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
