Not Necessarily for Kids
On December 28, 1869, William F Semple of Mount
Vernon, Ohio, patented his “acceptable” chewing gum
However, this wasn’t the first chewing gum by a long shot.
New England Indians chewed the resins of spruce trees, and
early American colonists picked up the habit. In 1848, John
Curtis and his brother made “State of Maine Pure Spruce
im” on their Franklin stove Centuries
fore that, the Mayans chewed chicle,
; coagulated milky juice (latex) of the
ipodilla tree It was the Mayan’s chicle
lat lead to our “chewing satisfaction”
today. Mr Semple began combining
te resilient latex with “other articles”
id the result was, well, acceptable. It
m’t wild strawberry bubblegum, but it
was a far cry from spruce.

Sometimes you can do
something very simple to
save energy and money
Here’s a tip for these dark
winter months that needs no
special equipment or initial
cash outlay: Clean your light
bulbs with a vacuum cleaner
and the soft br
ment, or use a
dusting cloth Tl
dirt that accumi
bulbs reduces th<
output, wastes
gy. and actual
shortens bulb
life, causing 1
the bulbs to
burn out sooner
