March was an exceptional mouth as far as health statistics goes, according to the report of J, O. Van Winkle, county physician. There) were 8 deaths recorded. Of thoee 16 were males and 11 females, whils of one no (ex was given. This death rate is very low, according to Dr. Van Winkle, and. is about half of what is usually is. To offset the deaths, the numbor of births took an upward spurt. March saw 29 girl babies arrive and 20 boy babies, making a total of 55. In view of the fact that there are three more girls than boys, it' already looks bad for the matrimonial prospects of this batch of females. Granting the boys and the girls grow up without mishap, there will be three girls left out in the cold to be either spinsters or suf fragettes. Among the contagious diseases there were 11 cases of typhoid fever. 2 of diphtheria, 2 of starlet fever, 1 measles, and 1 of tuberculosis. of WILLAMETTE NOTES.

CHEWIKO PRODUCT IS MADE TSOM THE SAP OF THE SAPOTE TREE MANY TONS USED. How many people in the United States chew gum! No accurate gov ernmental tatitici being available, a conservative estimate may place the number at. 10,000,000, dividing them in to two classes, the inveterate or hub itual eheweis and tho occasional chew- en. ' Under the latter class may be ' placed school children, who are not permitted to chew gum during study hours. According to the census of 1910 there were in the united states 760,599 persons between tho ages of 0 and 20 years in the. 43 states and tho, District of Columbia, Of this number 17,300,204 attended 'school, at least oc- casionally, and may be chssed as po-1 tentially occasional chewers, leaving a! balance of 10,450,39o as potentially in-1 voterato chewers of gum, all under the pge of 20 years. Of course, all of these i may not have been gum-chewera; equal-1 ly of course, inveterate gum-chewcrs! can not be conlined to persons under the ago of 20. These figures may be taken, however, to show that the esti mate of 10,000,000 invotorato chewers is very conservative. i The latest statistics published by the department of commerce show thru dur ing the calendar year 113 the I'nited States imported 13.101,3111 pounds of chicle, valued at 5, 119,500. Now tho work "chicle" to most people in this country might be Greek but it isn't. According to the pamphlet on Mexico recently issued by the pan American union at Washington, D. C, the word "chicle" is of Aztec origin, and is the name given to the sap of tho sapotc tree, botannically known as the snpotaja zapotilla. It is this sap which is thoh basis of practically all tho chewing j. gum used in tho United States. , ' The Aztecs of Mexico aro said to' have been the first jjum-ehewers known! on this, or for that matter any other, coutincnt. Tho followers of t'ortez re- j 1 ported that the Indians chewed a gmn'i to quench thirst and relieve exhntistion. j i They obtained it from the sapotc tree ; by tapping, nnd today tho manner of gathering tho sap is in close analogy to thu process of gathering maple stiguri in New Kngland. The tree is indigen- i oils to tho northern countries of Houth! America, Control America, ami espe-; cially in Mexico, the Inst named fur nishing about six-sevenths of tho en tiro supply consumed annually in the United States. The sapoto tree is usually found in groups, frequently crows to n height of 40 to 50 feet, is generally very straight, and has a long, clear length , which mnkes it most desirable for tim-1 bcr. Tho wood is of a reddish niahog- any color, is quite hard, heavy, com-1 pilot in texture, and fine grained. Hoor; sills and frames of this ronmrknble ! wood have been unearthed in the pre-1 historic ruins of Uxmal and found to i be in (in excellent stuto of preserva-1 tion. Tho wood is in demand today! by cabinetmakers, who employ it in the manufacture of high-grado furni-1 ture and household fittings. The fruit, the sapodilla pear, was once very popular in Latin American markets, but the constant demand for. the gum and the consequent tapping ! so reduced the size and quantity of the! fruit that it hnB become almost a nog- j ligible product. - ! Throughout tho rniny season, while: the sap is up, th9 tapping is done by; the "tliiclcros," whoso only imple-: merits aro a tnnchetu and a piece of; rope. The rope is fastened about the! waist nnd slipped around a tree, leav- j ing t tie ohulero s Hands free to make; the V-shaped incisions spirally nllj around the tree. The sap runs along the incisions ami is collected in sup nt the l'a.-e. It looks like, milk at ! first but soon turiij to a yellowish; color and thickens to t lie consistency of treacle. It is collected nnd boiled j in a rather primitive manner in large i kettle;', and when it has readied the! proper consistency it is kn',aded and the surplus nioistur" expressed. It is: then molded into large loaves and is! rcailv for shipment. When it rrnchesi tho factories in the United States it is j mixed and boiled in largo copper ket tles to a required consistency, flavor-,: ing extracts such as vanilla, pepper-, mint, or wintergrecu are added with the required amount of sugnr. It is then whipped into a dough and re-1 moved to tables and kneaded in pow- lc-red sugar, rolled into sheets, cut to desired size, wrapped by ntachincs in attractive paper, packed into fancy boxen, and is then ho chewing gum of commerce. It is estimated that 300,000,000 packages of gum aro sold anntifilly in the United States, each containing on an average fivo pieces. These placed end to end would extend ft ditttfincA nf Tl.OrJ milnt. nr ncnrlv: V, times around the world. If in10 their elastic state they were stretched into a thread one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, this thread of gum would extend a distance of 497,875 miles, or from the earth to the moon, wrap three times around that satellite, and back to Mother Earth again. If tho phy sical energy used ' in chewing this amount of gum could be reduced to foot-pounds and mechanically applied, it would furnish a power beside which that of Niagara falls woulll dwindle into significance.
