DON'T CHEW GUM.
1t Is silly Habit, Injurious to Both
Health and Beauty.

IL Is q silly HABIT, Injurious to Both
Health and Beauty.
''Girls, if you would have plump and
rosy cheeks, don't chew gum" are the
opening words of a lecture just issued
by distinguished professor on the
evils of chewing gum, a habit which
just now has taken a strong hold on
the girls of the land.
The fashionable young lady considers
package of daintily-arranged chew
ing gum as very necessary part of
her wardrobe, and when the ''in-the-
swim young man" wants to make his
best girl a present he gives her little
silver box, more dainty than even the
gum itself, and from this the miss is
pleased to hand around the gum to her
afternoon callers.
A young lady and her tolu are in
separable. On the beach and in the
bath it is with her, and even in the
folds of her scant evening dress it may
always be found. The gum habit has
spread over the entire land, and the
California girl uses it, as does also the
New York belle, for Dame Fashion
has decreed it.
The gum comes in attractive pack
ages, tied in delicate ribbons, and con-
tanned in each bundle of one dozen
pieces is a neat card setting forth the
advantages of gum from sanitary
standpoint. It reads: Dyspepsia,
which is SO prevalent in America, is
caused solely by a lack of saliva as
simulated with the food, due to the fact
that Americans eat too much and too
rapidly. The act of chewing gum
stimulates the salivary glands, and, by
giving to the food taken its proper
quota of saliva, greatly aids digestion
and positively prevents dyspepsia"
The lecture published by the eminent
scientist quoted above refutes the state
ments of the chewiug-gum maker, and
asserts that the daily morsel is dan
gerous enemy to womankind, almost as
great an evil as rum is to mankind. Fair
maidens are turned into human wrecks,
and irreparable damage to the system
| is done by constant use of chewing gum.
Rosy cheeks are made hollow and sal
low, and cute dimples are transformed
into wrinkles, while deep lines are
drawn around the once beautiful eyes.
The lecturer says: THE constant exer-
ton of the masseter muscle hardens it,
and removes the fatty substance which
conduces to roundness. Not only is the
fullness of the cheek destroyed, but
there is a great tendency to wrinkling
of the skin, natural result of the fall
ing away of the parts beneath ii"
The doctor uses many other argu-
ments equally convincing, and when
they are placed before the ladies
properly the demand for gum will be
cut off very materially.
The output of chewing gum is very
large. One New York house turns out
daily, in small parcels of one dozen
pieces, a quantity that in bulk would
make nearly three tons. This house
makes the brand which meets with
special favor in the eyes of society peo-
pie. There are many smaller manu-
factories, all located in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia. and the entire
daily production is between five and
six tons.-Philadelphia Record.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Eminent microscopists find that
genuine honey can be readily distin-
guished from manufactured honey by
the microscope, as the former has few
or no sugar crystals.
Our hot-air blast-furnaces date
from an invention of Nelson in 1928;
and the same principle, when applied
in the regenerative gas-lamp, results
in more heat and light, with economy
of fuel.
The distribution of bread after it
is baked now costs the average work
man in the city as much as it does to
grow the wheat, mill it, barrel it, move
it 800 miles and convert it into bread,
all put together.
Among the curious facts brought
out at the late Congress on tuberculo-
sis was that persons who have had small
pox are peculiarly liable to tuberculo-
sis. M. Landouzy stated that for this
reasons persons pitted with smallpox
should never be employed around the
tuberculous wards of hospitals.
M. Cow, an Italian savant, has
presented paper to the French Acad-
emy of Sciences, in which he claims
for Galileo the distinction of having
discovered the microscope as well as
the telescope. He has found a book
printed in 1910, according to which Gal
ileo had already directedh is tube fitted
with lenses to the observation of small
near objects.
"A sea-glass consists of a square
pine box about twenty inches in length
a pane of glass about ten by twelve
inches placed in one end, water-tight.
To use it, the glass end is thrust into
the water, and the face of the operator
is placed to the other. By this means,
the wave motion of the water is over
come, and great depth readily seen.
"A London jeweler recommends dia-
mond cutting and polishing as an ex-
cellent employment for women, saying
that he believes any woman or girl
with quick intelligence could learn to
polish a diamond "very fairly in six
MONTHS He says the qualities neces-
sary in this art are ''great honesty,
good education, quick intelligence,
great patience and good eyesight.''
The Russian physician and pub
licist, Portugaloff, declares that strych-
nine in subcutaneous injections is an
immediate and infallible remedy for
drunkenness. The craving of the ine-
briate for drink is changed into posi-
tive aversion in day, and after a
treatment of eight or ten days the
patientmay be discharged. Even should
the appetite return months afterward,
the first attempt to resume drinking
will produce such painful and nauseat-
ing sensations that the person will turn
away from the liquor in disgust.
The fact that the elementary sub
stances now number, according to
chemists, full seventy, shows an in
crease within the last fifty years OF
nearly one-fourth in the number known.
The size of an atom of oxygen or nitro
gen is said to have diameter of one
ten-millionth part of a centimeter; they
are supposed to be in a state of con-
stant motion, at the rate of seventy
miles a minute, and, to make them
visible, the present highest known
magnifying power of the microscope
would have to be increased nearly a
thousand fold.

HAVE you A MoTHERq
IL So, Do All in Your Power to Cheer He
Declining Years.


Declining Years.
Have you mother? If so, honor
and love her. If she is aged, do all in
your power to cheer her declining
years. Her hair may have bleached.
her eyes may have dimmed. her brow
may contain deep and unsightly fur
rows, her cheeks may be sunken; but
you should never forget the holy love
and tender care she has had for you.
In years gone by she has kissed away
from your cheek the troubled tear; she
has soothed and petted you when all
else appeared against you; she has
watched over and nursed you with
tender care known only to a mother;
she has sympathized with you in ad-
versity; she has been proud of your
success. You may be despised by all
around you, yet that loving mother
stands as an apologist for all your
shortcomings. With oil that disinter-
ested affection, would it not be migrate
ful in you, if in her declining years
you failed to reciprocate her love and
honor her as your best. tried friend?
We have no respect for a man or woman
who neglects an aged mother. If you
have a mother love her, and do all in
your power to make her happy. Chris
tian at Work.
