A GUM-CHEWING NATION.
Twenty Million Dollars Worth Masticated
Yearly by Americans.

Twenty million dollars sounds like a
pretty big sum to spend annually for the
satisfaction to be derived from chewing
gum; yet DR.. Cyrus W. Edison who has
studied the subject profoundly, does not
consider this an overestimate.
There are at least five immense chew
ing-gum factories dozen of moderate
size and innumerable insignificant firms
in the United States. One com pany
alone sells S.. 900, 900 worth every year
including. of course. the quantity export
ed. This is as much money as the I'm tied
States furnishes each year for the sup
port of her homo and foreign missions.
AS nation of churches, we are still fur
Their humiliated to learn that we expend
So, OO0, 000 year more to purchase gum
than we give for the maintenance of the
clergy of all denominations.
The entire revenue received by the gov
eminent from taxing fermented LIQUORS
only exceeds the chewing gum limit by a
chewinggum craze is greater by So, 600, =
900 than the entire expense OF running
the prisons, courts, hospitals, police force,
etc, OF the city of New York.
The habit is increasing at such rate
that Americans bid fair to become race
of enormous facial development. Chew
ing gum will be national characteristic,
as foot ball is the national game, and
clever slang is our native speech. TWEEN
ty-five per cent OF she rs, 000, 600 people in
the United States are already addicted to
the habit. And not only do an eyer-in-
creasing multitude chew, but they chew
openly, def1antly, on the public highways,
at places of amusement and at the clubs.
