of the family, for it seemed as If there
was nothing for breakfast If we did
not have it on the table.
II had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel

and began drinking Postum. The

again got out his kettle paraphernalia.
This time he made it into unflavored
gum and placed it upon the market.
BY doing so he laid the foundation OF
a princely fortune. The next PROPOSE
tion was to get flavoring into the gum.
This was task to which the embryo
chewing-gum millionaire was not
equal, so he employed an Englishman,
who was an amateur chemist, to CON
duct a series of experiments for him.
The chemist borrowed $500 from out
side sources and with this perfected
the original process of flavoring chicle
gum.
From that time the success of the
chewing gum business was assured.
To-day those boys, who taught their
father the secret of utilizing the old
junk in his woodshed, are millionaires.
Before they gave him the tip that was
to develop into a great fortune he was
doing odd jobs around Jersey City.
Nearly 3,OOO,O00,O00 sticks of chew
ing gum will be manufactured in the
United States this year, and most of
it will be chewed as fast as it is
scattered throughout the country, and
it is said that few industries show
greater cleanliness of operation than
is the rule in the American chewing
gum establishments.
The process by which the gum is
made is full of interest. Its basis is
chicle gum, and this is boiled to the
IN, bot
after which is added the flavoring and
the necessary sugar to give it sweet
ness 1t is then transferred to large
centrifugal receivers, whipped into
dough and then removed to tables,
where it is kneaded in powdered
sugar. After this it is rolled into
sheets, cut to the desired size, dried,
wrapped by machinery and placed in
boxes for marketing.
Repeated attempts have been made
to mix or adulterate chicle, or to get
substitute for it. but there seems to
be no substitute except spruce gum,
about $4,000 pounds of which is gath
cred in the woods of Maine each year.
OF course, this is mere drop in the
bucket compared with the amount of
chicle brought into the United States
from Central America. Chicle is not
incidentally valuable, but has proved
an excellent vehicle for carrying such
drugs as pepsin. A British court has
held pepsin chewing gum to be a drug.
and under the English pure-drug act
druggist was fined for selling some
that contained less pepsin than was
called for by the label. The mastica-
ton that goes with chewing gum pro-
duces a flow of saliva which is highly
beneficial in certain forms of stomach
trouble. While gum chewing has been
principally an American habit, the
people of other countries are becom-
ing initiated to its delights. A big
American manufacturer estimates that
the United States produces enough
annually to give two sticks to each
man. woman and child on earth.
Chicle comes to us from tropical
America at the rate of more than 5,000-
900 pounds year, and costs in the raw
state about $2,000,000 annually. The
tree which bears it is to be found in
the dense forests of the tropics The
operation in its gathering is not dis
similar to that of gathering maple
sirup in the United States.

SEVERE SHOCK RECORDED.

Atlantic Ocean Disturbance Regis
tiers on Georgetown seismograph.
A severe earthquake, probably in the
Atlantic ocean. 1900 miles from shore,
was registered on the seismograph at
Georgetown University observatory at

Father Torndorf. in charge OF the OBJ

severe recorded since the great Kingston
disaster.
The disturbance moved from east 70
west, and had it occurred near land, de-
vastating tidal waves would have been
the result.

NAMES RECEIVER
FOR LAUREL Line
Electric Road to Maryland
Town in Hands of Court.

According 10 a dispatch from Balti-
more. Charles F. Gadsfeller has been
appointed receiver for the Washington.
Berwyn and Laurel Electric Railroad.
generally known in Washington as the
Maryland line" OF the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company.
The receiver was appointed as the re-
suit of a petition filed in the United
States District Court at Baltimore.
The bill of complaint was filed at the
instance OF the Guardian Savings and
Trust Company. of Cleveland, Ohio. trus-
tee for the railroad company. In the
petition the Cleveland Trust Company
seeks 10 recover principal and interest
on an issue of 100000 in bonds, amount
ing in the aggregate To S2S9.621. These
bonds were secured by a mortgage on
the property, and the receiver is given
authority by the court to sell the prop
erty in case bonds and interest are not
paid within five days.
The Maryland line was constructed sew
eral years ago by Maryland and West
ern capital. It was part of the plan
formed about fifteen years ago TO unite
Baltimore and Washington by an electric
railway. which was stopped because of
lack of capital and the great cost of
bridging the Patapsco River just beyond
Laurel The road was constructed out
of Baltimore TO Ellieott City, and that
branch has since become the property OF
the United Railways Of Baltimore
From the Washington end the tracks
were laid down TO Berwyn, and six years
ago it was continued to Laurel The line
has been operated under lease, first to the
City and Suburban Railroad, of this city.
and then TO the Washington Railway and
Electric system. The local corporation
has no interest in the line, other than
its control as the operating company.
1t is understood that the major part
of the revenues of the property were
eaten up in the cost of operation. leaving
practically nothing with which TO meet
the obligations Of the company. In case
the property is sold az auction, It is prob
able that the Cleveland Trust Company
may bid in the property at a price sum
Client to satisfy the bonds, and that some
working agreement win be entered into
with the local railway company TO oper-
ate IL as heretofore.
