"PooR cHILDREN's CANDY" PROM
Uses TO BECOME VERY
LIVE ISSUE.
MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS
ENTERING VIGOROUS PROTEST
Obscure Paragraph in Underwood Tar.
if Bill Proposes to Double Duty on
chieie and Congressman Have Just
Found Out What Product ls-Strons
Lobby Rises to Object.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, April 24.-Is congress
about to strike blow at chewing
gum? Is a democratic regime going to
increase taxation on the gum most ev-
erybody in the country chews on the
theory that il is a luxury?
These are among the burning ques-
tions which have risen since the tariff
bill was made public. Daily, members
OF house and senate are waited on by
callers and flooded with letters and
kilograms saying this and that indus
try is about to be ruined. Until this
week, however, nobody had given much
thought TO the chewing gum indus
try.
Now, the representatives Of chewing
gum interests are on the ground and
are clamoring against the Underwood
bill The basis of their complaint is
found in part Of line deep down
in the tariff measure which reads:
"Chlcie, 20 cents per pound.
chiele Comes TO Front
Most statesmen don't known what
chicIe is, AS a matter of fact it comes
from the sapodilla tree but as no con-
gresham has any sapodilia trees in MS
district few understood what chicle
meant 1t is a gum, shipped into the
United States from the tropics and 1t
is the chief constituent of most of the
brands of gum the American people
use.
The Underwood bill doubles the duty
on chicle and the gum manufacturers
denounce this as an attempt to treat
the plain or garden chewing gum OF
l,1Y
say. it is one of the necessities of life.
How can you carry out the promise
of the Baltimore platform to reduce
the cost of living if you raise the price
of gum ?" ask the gum makers, also the
gum dispensers.
The manufacturers of gum say the
increased duty will enhance the cost OF
gum perceptibly They will be driven,
they assert, to make smaller packages
and TO shove up the wholesale prices
so there will be no profit for the retail
ers among whom are many boys and
girls who sell it about the streets OF
course. they aver. IT is impossible to
retail a package of gum for more than
nickie.
Gum IS the poor child's candy say
the manufacturers of the article. This
is one OF their numerous ingenious
arguments to show the Underwood bill
rs at fault when it doubles the chicle
duty Another argument is that chew
ing gum is healthful and that if chicle
scars to prohibitive prices the manu-
facturers may be driven to use substi-
tutes
In short. ii looks as If chewing gum
would presently become an issue.

THE STOMACH CALLS
Feeling Which Common Humanity
Knows as Hunger Is Explained
Fully by the Scientist.

Tie answer looks easy. Any small
bov. schoclboy or other, would say
why. hunger is just wanting some
thing to eat and wanting ii bad But
the doctors find that it isn't so easy
1t seems, according to an ex-eatne-
dre utterance in the Journal OF the
American Medical Association. that
emptiness of the stomach has nocnins
to do with hunger. 1t is not due
to the secretion of any sort OF aclo
in the stomach. nor to congestion OF
the gastric glands. Professor Cannon
in this article in the journal aforesaid,
attributes hunger to contractions OF
the s,omach's muscular walls. IN tue
doctors words: Hunger is norMans
the signal that the stomach is con
tracted for action; the unpleasantness
OF hunger leads to eating ea'ine
starts gastric secretion. d,stends inc
contracted organ. initiates De move
ments of gastric digestion and ans-
ishes the sensation" Here's to the
abolition of the sensation: may there

She slipped a small knife into his

Advances of 5 cents were paid over

taken about IL 200 hogs which is 400

There were ISIS hogs held over or

Color in Precious Stones.

The color of gem stones, although
of greatest importance commercially.
is of little or no value in determining
their particular identity. Certain
stones show their characteristic
shades of color, It is true, but it is
only after various tests have been
applied that color can be considered
at all as evidence of value All min.
erals in their pure state are pure
