gum, provided that you do the
chewing inside your room"

women refuse to chew gum In
public because they think that
this would hurt their looks. !"
Others seem to have little, If

The United States, In fact, Is

Present-day gum is made
mainly from chicle. but there was
q time when spruce gum was
most popular. A sticky substance
called resin comes from various
trees. including the spruce. Resin
can be chewed for an hour at a

keep it in, his mouth that long.
The tamarAck was one of the
other trees which supplied chew

about. Tropical forests in Latin
America were tapped, and tons
Of chicle were gathered and sent
to the United States.
Chiele is o material, almost
like rubber. It Is taken from
sapodilla trees, many Of which
grow in Central America.
