 Just at this time the press of the country has no higher duty than Ia make known to young women the startling fact. now scientifically deter mined. that habitual gum chewing results in the abnormal development of the m,lssctcr muscles which move the jaw and the degeneration of the fatty substance which produces fair. plump cheeks. Maidri,s should reflect that the marriageable young men aware ot this. will not seek the hands uf gum-chewcrs. The thought of an abnormal development of these muscles which move the jaw will give them a pause.-~Ptne BluN Commercial. Judging rum the amount M loud swearing, hanters to light. and other ,,isgraces. it would seem that Forrest City needs to reinforce her corp of police officers. The sceues Saturday, especially. were numerous and dis. graceful. and one can hear yulgarity most any day, or night, on the streets, two or three blocks. We have ordi. nancrs which prohibit swearing. and vulgar or obscene language, drunken ness, assaults, etc., and they should bc strictly enforced, ttxt peAceablc and moral citizens may not be subjected to ciagrin and insult and modification. No doubt Marshal Prewett does his duty, but he cannot be in all places Ut once.
