POTATO GUM ON STAMPS.
Uncle Sam Tries to Guard the Healtt
 of Stamp Lickers.

Every time a person licks United States postage stamp he gets a taste of sweet potato. The gum with which the stamps are backed is made from that succulent vegetable because Uncle Sam's lieutenant's s consider 1t the most harmless prep aration of the sort.
 All of the gum used on American postage stamps Is mixed by the gov ernment at the bureau of engrav- ing and printing. where the stamps are made It is spread on the sheets after the stamps have been printed.
 TI7e gum in a liquid form is forced up through pipes from the base msnt where 1t is made. These pipes lead to a series of machines consist ing of rollers between which the sheets Of stamps are fed one at time
 i continuous fine stream of the liquid gum falls upon one of these rollers The sheet with it's wet coating of sweet potato mucilzgs passes from the rollers into a long horizontal fus filed with hot air When it eusrEss at the other end Of the hae the gum Is dry.

BATTLE ON ICE FL0E
Freezing Missionary Doctors
 Fight For Life.
ATTACKED BY SAVAGE DOGS

Tn Arctic Temperature GrenfeIl Has to
 Kill Animals and Use Skins For His
 Own Protection-Makes Signal Pole
 of Their Legs.
 St. Johns. N. F., June 4.-Battling for forty hours against pack of hun ger maddened dogs on an icepack on the coast of Labrador. with the tenn perature 10 below zero and only a knife to defend himself from being torn to pieces by the savage brutes, is the thrilling experience that Dr. Will fred Grenfell, the celebrated mission. ary-physician. recently passed through The story of Dr. Grenfells escape from death is told by Captain W. Bartlett of the steamer Strathcona, which has just arrived here from the north. Captain Bartlett was with Commander Peary on several of his expeditions to the arctic.
 Dr. Grenfell had left Battle Harbor. Labrador, to attend several patients at another settlement ten miles distant and was travelling over the ice with a pack of dogs, when he found himself driven off the coast by moving ice field Before he realized it he was in an area covered only with broken drift ice. and before he could stop the dogs the animals had carried him into the water The dogs attempted to climb on Dr. Grenfelrs back. and he was obliged to fight the animals before he was able to climb on to a solid piece of drift ice. The dogs also succeeded in saving themselves.
 Kills Dogs For Warmth.
 With the wind blowing gale from the northwest. the temperature 10 be- low zero and night at hand. the doctor would have been frozen to death, as his clothing was saturated, but for the originality and ingenuity he displayed Taking off his skin boots. he cut them in halves and placed the pieces over his back and chest to shield those parts of his body from the blast. As the wind and cold increased, when night came on he determined to kill three of the dogs to afford him more warmth and to supply the other beasts with food. fearing that. becoming hun gry. they would tear him to pieces.
 As it was, they attacked him sav- agely. and he was bitten terribly about the hands and legs. The doctor spent a trying night. He wrapped himself up in the skins of the dead dogs, but still found it so cold that he repeatedly had to run about the ice to keep up the circulation of the blood. Hoping that next day he would be in sight of land. though the ice was fast receding from the shore, the doctor took the legs of the dead dogs and. binding them to- gether, made pole. to the top of which he attached part of his shirt to serve as a signal. and this eventually proved to be his salvation, as the flag was seen by George Reid and others of Locks Cove, Mare Bay, and they effected rescue.
 Dr. Grenfell was made companion of the order of St. Michael and St. George two years ago by King Ed ward. His work Is supported largely by Americans.
