I believe the answer is:

filter

(Other definitions for filter that I've seen before include "Cigarette tip" , "Strain" , "Device for holding back impurities in liquid passed through it" , "Remover of impurities" , "Strainer; a traffic light" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
