IOWA CITY. Iowa, Dec. 6.—Chew-1
■ing gum for the soldiers who do not ^
smoke has been suggested by Pro-^
fessor E. W. Rockwood, head of the
department of chemistrv at the state*
. i
university here. Profesor Rockwood
declares that gum has the same ef
fect as tobacco in soothing the nerves,
and urges that large supplies of it
be sent to the Western front and the
various camps in this country.
“Chewing gum," says Prof. Rock
wood "keeps the thoughts of the sol
dier from the discomforts and dan
gers. There is no doubt the soldier
uses the tobacco we send him for
the same purpose, particularly if he
iravwlt been a habitual smoker."
