man owns five hundred acres of land;
and one hundred would be his share If
the land were equally divided. Then
let the law simply fix the one hundred

sell the rest, if he chooses to do so: or

Chewing-gum is very important
factor in the trade of this country.
There are two or three firms in Maine
which buy large quantities of it from
lumbermen and gum hunters for the
purpose of refining it, as they say.
But a Boston Herald correspondent
writes that as general thing the re-
filming. consists in adulteratiOn with
resin. They throw it into a big ket-
tie, bark and all, and boil it into about
the consistency of thick molasses,
skimming the impurities off as they
rise to the surface. Then, if the pur-
pose be to adulterate, some lard or
grease and a lot of resin is added,
and in some cases a little sugar. The
mixture then becomes thicker, and,
after more stirring, is poured out on
slab, where while it is yet hot
it is rolled out in sheet about quar-
ter of an inch thick, and then
chopped with steel die into pieces
half an inch wide and three-quarters
of an inch long. These pieces are
wrapped in tissue paper and packed
in wooden boxes, ard 200 pieces in a
box. Some of the cheapest "spl uce"
chewing gum is made out of petrole
UNI refuse.

A very sensible ''household physi-
clan" makes these suggestions for the
benefit of women who are always
"tired": Never eat heartily when
s'tired to deatl." Drink a cup of tea
and eat a era cker or two or beat up an
egg in half a pint of milk, sweeten
and flavor to taste and drink it. This
will strengthen you, and will not make
any demands upon your weary stom-
ach or digestive organs. And another
thing: Do not rise early in the morn
ing and trot all over the house doing
this and seeing to that, for hours be-
fore you eat anything. Put on the
coffee, if you use that, as soon as pos
sible, and pour yourself out cup just
as soon as in a condition for drinking
and add whatever light, easily digest
ed article of food you may like best.
This done-and you must eat slowly,
and at your ease-you will find that
you can return to your work and fair
lily "make things fly"
