ticral association show tina. OF the s6!i books published

Eooas on the subject OF religion rarely figure III the
records of the best sellers" and literature OF this type
normally makes its appeal only 70 readers of a special
type. The fact that religious publications bulk SO large

Works Of fiction last year reached a total OF 1885. while
los were classified as religious. Biography, claimed Gao
titles. and 634 were childrens books. Drama and poetry
were almost as popular as biography. with sos titles. while

and is then ready for sweetcning and
flavoring. Many flavors. such as mint,
doublemint, peppermint, grape. lico-
rice. ETC., are added. It is sometimes
medicated al a laxative.
After being favored the gum is
rolled into large sheets and then cut
into stick size and sold to little
Johnny's mama. who would rather
buy him gum than allow him to cat
too much candy.
The moderate use of chewing gum
stimulates secretion Of the saliva and
also tends to cleanse the teeth. It is
also used to relieve nervous tension.
and sometimes as an aid to giving up
chewing tobacco. In small amounts it
is an aid to stimulating the digestive
juices. especially after a meal, and is
used by ball players and men who
work in steel foundries over red-hot
metals as a preventive Of excessive
thirst.
/ sometimes allow fasting patients
to chew a small amount. as this re-
lieves their sense of hunger and makes
their breaths more pleasant. About
one package daily. taken in small
bits, is effective for this purpose.

CHEWING GUM


The original chewing gum industry
is said to have begun on . capital 81
$751; 90. Now, every month in the
United States. mor than : 1000, O0C
is spent for chewing gum alone. lr
1927 we exported over 81 500 900 worth
of gum to foreign counties. This is
! one Of the unlooked-for results OIL
war. since the American doughboy
spread that habit to other soldiers
who took 1t home with them and
thus. in a roundabout way. caused the
modern chewing gum manufacturer
to have his labels printed In eighteen
different languages.
The first chewing gum was spruce
gum. After that came the paraffin
wax. and then the chicle gum which
is now cheWed from Greenland'S icy
mountains to midas coral strand.
Chicle is the sap drawn from the
bark Of the Sapodilla tree. Mexico and
Central America are the chief source.
The trees are tapped during the
rainy season by slashing the bark In
great criss-crosS patterns. After once
being tapped the tree does not yield
again for five years. II the tapping is
continued up into the branches the
tree will be destroyed.
When the milky juice runs down
the criss-cross channels 1t Is gathered
into a canvas sack hung at the bot
tom. The bag is taken to camp. where
the milky juice is boiled down until
the milkiness disappears. What Is left
is a brownish ream-colored mass,
and this is nodded into the large
brown blocks Of chicle used CONNER
cially.
