AMERICANS SPEND
MILLIONS FOR GUM
Chlcle-Chewtng Habit Has Cost $85.
000000 in Last Ten
Tears.
WASHINGTON D. C April 4.The
chewing-gum habit has cost the Amer-
ican people lor chicle alone nearly
.135000000 in the last ten years or
almost five times as much as the
United States paid Russia for Alaska
according to figures furnished by the
"bureau of foreign and domestic. com-
merce of the Department of JCon)
merce. Normally the country's an-
nual imports of chicle amounts to
7000000 pounds for which it pays
about $2500000 in the countries or
origin and to which must be added
rcuBtoms duties In domestic ports of
about $750000. 4
Imports of chicle gum during the
fiscal year 1915 were as follows:
From Mexico 2197000 pounds from
Canada 2181000 pounds; from Brit-
ish Honduras 1139000 pounds; from
Venezuela 952000 pounds; from the
Central American republics 26000
pounds; from all other countries 5000
pounds. Chicle is not produced in
Canada but large quantities form 'oth
er British possessions are handled
through the Dominion. In 1913 the
total imports of the gum amounted
to 13759000 pounds and that is the
record Importation for any one year.
In 1915 the total was 6500000 pounds.
Chicle is the dried milky juice of
the sapodilla tree which 1s one of a
large family of tropical trees known
as bully-trees. Some of the gum is
used as a substitute for gutta per-
cha. but the bulk if it is used in the
manufacture of chewing gum .

when thpy attempted to cross the Bos
que river. The river was out of banks
and running across" the road' on each
side of the bridge. The boys were
driving two horses to a buggy and
managed to reach the bridge from the

end they struck a swift current that
swept them down stream about 300
yards where they managed to land on
a high strip of land where the water
was only about .1 foot deep. Here they
were compelled to stay three hours
until the water ran down.
It was impossible to send them any
assistance as the current was very
swift and about "00 yards wide at the
J point where they were standing.

false teeth have developed a market

price of platinum and dentists and
dental supply concerns throughout
the country are advertising to buy
them at handsome prices: The old
teeth are being sought for the
platinum that is in them.
The new fashion in jewelry which
calls for diamonds to be set in
platinum and which rules diamond8
set in gold out of style has created
a tremendous demand for platinum

platinum prohibits its use in false
