Postage Stamp Gum.

When you lick a postage stamp you
need not fear that the gum is some
thing unclean. Postal gum is the best
quality on the face of the earth, 1t is
derived from deXtrin, a product secur-
ed in the process of making starch from
potatoes, corn and the cassava root.
The starch from these vegetables is
treated by roasting at a temperature
Of about 30 degrees at the first stage,
causing it to turn into dextrin. Fur
Their changes make postal gum, and If
the changes were carried to the limit
the result would be grape sugar or glu-
cose. The best postal gum is that which
contains the least unconverted starch
and little glucose. When the material
for making gum reaches the bureau Of
engraving and printing it looks much
like flour except in color. 1t comes in
sacks of 200 pounds each, and every
consignment from the contractors Is
carefully inspected before using. 1t is
subjected to microscopical examination
and to chemical analysis, and all this is
followed by a practical test.-Kansas
