THE TERRIBLE TRUTH
It is natural instinct for an editor to look over dif
ferent “codes of ethics’’ as adopted by numerous associa
tions with a good deal of criticism. Yet they may be all
right for public consumption. One recently noted, con
tains this paragraph: “We believe that a newspaper
should publish the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth concerning matters of importance to read
ers as citizens of a community,” etc. We should hate to
be the publisher of a newspaper that publishes the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth every day or
week. Yo do that would be to make brides blush and
grooms apologize to offend mothers of babies and to
spread scandal that might injure innocent persons. The
whole truth may sometimes be known but impossible to
verify, therefore explanations are libel suits as far as
we are concerned. It might be possible to publish the
whole truth, but it is never done, even by those that adopt
that sort of resolution.

SOME pipes were "bom with two strikes
on ’em.” Just never had a chance to
offer their Best. You can judge your
pipe only by the tobacco you put in it.
If you haven’t smoked P. A., your pipe
hasn’t had its chance. To those men
who know the keenest pipe-enjoyment,
Prince Albert stands out like a beacon of
cheer on a moonless night.
Prince Albert has put pipes into the
mouths of more men than any other
tobacco that ever came down the pike
. . . and has kept them there! Because
no other tobacco is like P. A. Cool and
fragrant as mountain air murmuring
through the pines. Sweet as the breath
of spring.
A
r
P. A. won’t bite your tongue or parch
your throat, because the Prince Albert
process cut out bite and parch right at
the outset of P. A.’s brilliant career.
This means that you can hit it up with
your jimmy-pipe and P. A. from the
minute breakfast is over until you nestle
down between the sheets at night. You
not only can, but will!
If you’re looking for proof, you
needn’t search beyond the nearest shop
where they hand out smoke-gladness in
tidy red tins marked "Prince Albert.”
Give your pipe a chance.” Pack it with
P. A. and light up. That first wonderful
pull will tell you P. A. was simply made
to-order for you!
P. A. is told everywhere in tidy red
tins, pound end half-pound tin humi
dors, and pound crystal-glass humidors
with sponge-moistener top. And
always with every bit of bite and parch
removed by the Prince Albert process,
