An Industry That Give Employment to Thoananilt of People Anifrics I m Nation of Jw Workera. lo you chew g-ttm? In more technical terms, do you in dulge in that continuous, vertical, masticatory movement which is s per fectly disrustin; in the street car but pardonably popular in the privacy of home? Nowadays, says the Chicago Tribune, everything' is distinctively tin de siecle or tries to be. And to be strictly fin de siecle means to have "a purpose." All the new and popular books, for in stance, are "purpose" pieces of fiction. And so the persistent gum ohewer. much as he dislikes to see others com placently smack their lips over the bit of jfum and sujrar. hides l-hind the laudable purpose, so called a subterfuge- in other words of improving an imperfect digestive apparatus. of whitening the teeth or of sweetening' the breath. Said Pope: "Old politicians chew on wisdom past." This truism is sujrres tive. Hut the modern chewer. what ever may le his excuse for the indul gence, is addicted to something- more tangible ami that something is a pe culiar conglomeration of stuffs. If your favorite brand is white grim your solace is in chewinfr parartine which is a mixture of various carlro hvdrides that has leen dissolved at a jrvntle heat in olive oil and ptycerine. It is stirred on cooling1 and afterwards compressed. If tolu occupies first place in your af fections you indulge in a mixture of balsam of tolu which is made by dis solving oranpre shellac and piim ben zoin in rectified spirit, with the ad dition of a few drops of the oils of cas sia and nutmeg dissolved in a little es sence of vanilla oatmeal and suyar. There is also spruce (,'um. made from exudations of the spruce tree. This puin from the manufactory of nature is regarded as lmth pure and lieneficial. Whether the chewer of rum (rets a lilreral allowance of the proverbial peck of dirt which every individual is Mipposed to eat in his allotted three score and ten in the sugared, flavored, daintily-wrapped squares of fum is a controvertible theme. There is. in fact, such a mysterious air of seerecv about the manufacture of these innocent-lixkiiijf masticatory sticks that the would-le visitor, who is not friven entree into the sacred pre cincts for love or money, is quite apt to think maybe cleanliness is next to podliness' is not the motto of the chewing trum manufacturer. At any rate, there are innumerable stories afloat as to the ingredients of this decidedly popular American prod uct. A chewing pum factory that claims the distinction of being the third larg est in the world may be found within the gates of Chicago. Though one is not permitted even to glance into the great room where the clang of machin ery indicates the sacred spot, and though one cannot converse with the liege lord who, locked in his private otlice, concocts mixtures to tickle the palate of the professional gum-chewer. there are many interesting things to I heard and man' interesting things to le seen in the packing department. One of the managers laughed aloud at the bare suggestion of admittance being refused on the ground that the ingredients are injurious. "Some people actually think," he said, "that chewing-gum is made from old rubWr loots and refuse matter. The fact is that only pure materials are used, the principal ingredient be ing an exudation from a species of rub Wr tree native in Mexico." "What is the appearance of this sub stance?" "It is a thick brown sap of the con sistency and color of maple sirup. We get it in the original state, with parti cles of bark and dirt. This goes through a long process of cleaning. Then of course the process of making is a profound secret. There is a man in our employ, by the way, who for twenty -one years has done nothing else but experiment on newbrandsof chew ing gum. No. even a manager could not take hii wife through the factory, so rigid are the rules. Each employe knows only his particular part of the work, so the secret of making, as a whole, is preserved." "Are the materials expensive?" "Yes. for the original gum costs 51.10 a pound in ton lots, and the essential oils used cost 54 a pint. These are the principal ingredients." "How long a time is required to con vert one lot of new material into chew ing gum?" "Almost a week." An interesting spectacle is to look in the packing room. Here great trucks tilled high with strips of chewing-gum a yard long and several inches wide, all carefully marked with geometric precision into squares, are rolled in at intervals from the factory. The deft fingers of the seventy-five wrappers young girls break these strips into sections, wrap each in a tissue cover ing and then tinfoil, and pack them away in pastelxard Ixixes in an almost incredibly short time. One girl has thus filled 153 loxes in one day, there being 3ti sticks in each box. or 5,50; sticks all told. This is an unusual rec ord, however. (ireat woden boxes stacked to the ceiling on all sides, packed with chew ing gum ready for shipment, are the result of only one day's work. It is a sight to elevate the everlasting devo tees of chewing gum the ubiquitous cash girl and the omnipresent newsboy to the seventh heaven of ecstasy. It is likewise a reminder that Amer ica is distiuctively a chewing-gum country. Ami to think that manufac tories employing hundreds, even thou sands, of hands should be in dailv op eration all over the country to cater to one's penchant for someth ing to chew is an almost inconceivable fact.

A recommendation against the use and sale of liU!)rs has Ion; been in force, and remains unchanged, except that it has lven extended so as to embrace "f urni -hintr any material whereby tlie testim nv against intoxicants is vU lated." The testimonies in relation to -plainness"' of speech, apparel and In-havior remain unchanovd.
