Postage Stamp Nusllsgs.

Every time a person ticks a
United States postage stamp he
gets a taste OF sweet potato. The
gum with which the stamps are
backed is made from the succul-
ent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lieutents consider il the
most harmless preparation Of
the sort. AL the gum used on
American postage stamps is
mixed by the Government at the
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, where the stamps are made.
It is spread on the sheets after
the stamps are printed. The
gam, in a liquid form, is forced
up through pipes from the base
ment, where it is made. These
pipes lead to a series OF machines
consisting of rollers, between
which the sheets of stamps are
fed one at a time. A continu.
Gus fine stream of the liquid falls
upon one Of these rollers. The
sheet with it's wet coating of
sweet potato mucilage passes
from the rollers into a long hor-
izontal hue filed with hot air.
When it energies at the other
end of the iue it is dry.-New

TO RESTRAIN THE
REVENUE AGENTS

Every revenue agent and every alco-
hohc liquor gauger in districts where
there are spirit stills is going to be
hauled to court within three or four DAYS
by every distiller in his territory on in
junction proceedings. The spirit distllers
are goipg to ask for injuncuons 10 for
bid them marking distlllates in any way
other than the manner in which they
marked them during the long period from
1862 to July 1, 1908.
This litigation is a battle in the war
that has been raging ever since the At
torney-General decided when whiskey is
whiskey and when II IS something else,
50 as to guide Icretary Wilson in his
enforcement Of the Pure Food law.
Late in June President Roosevelt de-
cided that the Attorney-Generars con-
struetion Of the Pure Food law required
the marks on distilled liquors 10 be
changed. Therefore he ordered that on
July l, the 5000 internal revenue men
should begin marking barrels Of liquor in
accordance with Mr.. Bonaparte's dehni-
tion Of the different kinds Of beverages.
There are no such stills in the district
OF Delaware, so no Injunction proceedings
against revenue agents are looked for
in this State.
