A famous advertising slogan might be modified to suit local conditions and read "Have you a little paraffin chewer in your home." During the week a large number of youngsters have been noticed masticating some pure white substance upon inquiry it developed that the little folks have devised a plan to overcome the high price of chewing gum by chewing paraffin instead. While they admit they taste is not quite so delicious as that of the real stuff, it makes a fairly good substitute and certainly beats not chewing at all. After all, taste is not taken into consideration according to one little fellow who thought only of the amount "you kin git fer a nickel."
