storage is set apart for safe keeping
of the flavoring extracts in a gum
factory because of their high value.
In the larger plants the stock of
flavoring extracts frequently amount
to several hundred thousands of dol­
lars.
Medicaments
Naturally the medicaments used in
chewing gum are very few. The list
includes pepsin, listerine, licorice and
possibly some others.
The amount
of medication possible in a stick of
chewing gum is too limited to be
practical.

Chicle Gum Formula
Gum chicle, SVz pounds; paraffine
wax, 1 pound; balsam tolu, 2 ounces;
sugar, 12 pounds, water, 3 pints; fla­
voring.
By the aid of heat, dissolve the
sugar in the water and boil to the
“ crack” degree, so called by confec­
tioners; pour the resultant
syrup
upon an oiled slab; add the chicle,
paraffine wax and balsam tolu, all
melted together, and mix thoroughly.
This manipulation produces a tough
plastic mass which after addition o f
the flavoring may be cut into the de­
sired form.
Paraffine Gum Formula
Paraffine is dissolved at a gentle
heatwith a small amount of sweet oil
and glycerine, the amount of each
depending upon the season, less be­
ing required in warm than in cold
weather.
The gum
(Peruvian bal­
sam, liquid amber or whatever gum
desired) is then added and stirred in
until the mass becomes homogeneous.
Next, add white powdered sugar, stir
in, and finally add the flavoring de­
sired. The mass is then poured on a

Manufacture
Although the great bulk of the
chewing gum trade is concentrated
with a few well-known concerns the
total number of gum manufacturers
in the industry is said to somewhat
exceed 200.
Various special machines are re­
quired in gum manufacture, some of
which are heavy and expensive. Au­
tomatic machinery is much used, par­
ticularly in packaging the
goods
where the output is considerable.
Typical Chewing Gum Plant
The arrangement of equipment is
that of two parallel units to admit
doubling the capacity when required.
In such a plant as that indi­
cated much hand labor would be em­
ployed and only the essential ma­
chinery would be found. The largest
plants of course contain many special
and automatic machines and an elab­
orate air-conditioning installation for
the drying, cooling and packaging de­
partments.

The Boy Has Ideas
Manufacturers
who have been
searching for a new and attractive
name for their venders will be obliged
to the snappy newspaper writer of the
up and coming “ Post-Crescent” A p­
pleton, Wise., for coining the seduc­
tive name of “ mechanical pickpocket”
for mint venders. The boy who wrote
this one ought to get a raise.
“ JUDGE BER G ORDERS D R IV E
ON SLO T M A C H IN E S
The tinkle of the mechanical “ pick­
pocket” otherwise known as the slot
machine must cease in Outgamie-co
according to an
order issued by
Municipal Judge Theodore Berg on
Tuesday. Orders to the effect that
arrests are to be made where slot ma­
chines are housed were issued by the
court and it is expected that within

(a very short time the machines will
disappear from the bars of rural and
city soft drink saloons.
“Judge Berg pointed out that he
has recently received several com­
plaints that such gambling devices
are being operated in the rural dis­
tricts.
“ The danger of minors playing is
in itself reason for the abolition of
the machines if there was no other,”
Judge Berg declared.”

Finis
The story
is told about
M a r y Rob­
erts Rinehart
and Harrison
Fischer. She
wanted a n
appropria t e
design to use
at the end of
h e r stories
to take the
place of the
c o m m o n -
place ‘ * Fin­
is.”
A t her
request M r .
Fischer sub­
mitted a sketch similar to that shown
here. She was unable to solve the
riddle as to its meaning and finally
returned it to him, asking him to ex­
plain the sketch. His reply was sim­
ple— “ the little fellow is saying ‘M y
tale is told’.”
