cHEwING-GUM.

We know OF nothing, says writer
in Success Magazine" that is quite
so many things at once as mescal.
First OF all it is a kind Of combina.
ton chewing. gum and cough drop;
afterwards 1t is an intoxicant; but
most Of all It is religion II is
pretty generally agreed that mescal
is an evil but whether It should be
dealt with by pure food expert,
policeman, or missionary has not
been decided
Mescal is made by cutting off
slices of a certain kind Of cactus that
grows in Mexico and-our Southwest
Il Is dried and chewed by the In
dians, and produces kind Of alleged
and pleasurable sensation Beautiful
colors, lovely imaginings, and a kind
Of intoxication different from that
produced by opium, haSheesh' or al
cohol are said to result from its use,
The chewing of mescal is said to
be spreading with dangerous rapidity
among the Southwestern Indians
who have made it the basis Of new
religion. Eminent chemists have IN
vestigated the tablet and have called
1t long, hard names, Perhaps th'
supply is not great enough to cause
apprehension, but the danger to OH
institutions Of religion that can b.
chewed must be apparent to all
