OF the 75,OOO,OOO people in the united
States 25 per cent are already addicted
to the gum chewing habit. 1t is not
only a fad or stupid habit, but men
and women chew from Physiological
reasons. Men prefer gum to tobacco De-
cause it is cheaper, healthier and clean
lier. Nervous people chew 1t to save
finger nails and glove tips and women
who incline to decolette gowns, bht
whom nature has neglected to endow
with the requisite physical charms, find
It an easy, inexpensive method OF de-
yeloping the muscles of the neck into
that condition of pretty roundness so
much to be desired. AS a means OF ply
steal culture it is rather slow, to be
SIRE. but what woman would object to
deyoting a summer season to vigorous
course of gum-chewing if by so doing
she could render herself an object OF
loneliness in her winter evening
gowns?-EXchange
