recent frosts have increased this tend

TWICE AS MANY BIRTHS AS
DEATHS IN COUNTY DURINO
MONTH OF MABCH.
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.

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.
