Chewing Gum Aids Digestion
By C. Houston Goudiss
National Authority on Nutrition
Publisher of The Forecast—America’s Leading Food Magazine
r I Everyone knows we are given to eating more than we
ok dm actually need, but when the table is heaped with good
UjLfojM food, “what’s a feller to do?”
Th ' ngS are S ° tem P , ' n ß> an< l so palatable 1 Why not
Aflk But many a heavy meal which is hugely enjoyed
•Vj during the process of eating is far from enjoyable dur
ing the process of digestion!
Then it is that chewing gum comes to the rescue.
Dr. W. A. Evans, former commissioner of health in
Tvm Chicago, says in his book, “How to Keep Well”:
“To chew gum after a meal aids digestion. Most
people do not chew their food long enough to mix
V dt : tn-fu saliva with it thoroughly. The chewing of gum adds
iQrl e some saliva to the stomach contents. It is of more
sJ I? .ffltf $ service in stimulating the stomach muscle. It is espe
*’M ! JpHijfc cially serviceable in helping the stomach to empty its
■SAii iJhH contents. If one has overeaten and the stomach is
heavy something is gained by chewing gum for half an
UIAH Ch>cU° h° ur . beginning two hours after eating.” And it also
7Ve« helps to keep the teeth clean.
VA Chicle, the base of chewing gum, is the milky juice
which is secreted by the inner bark of a tropical tree
known as the Achras Sapota.
Only during the rainy season are the trees “bled.”
After being refined and sterilized, the chicle is mixed with sugar and
flavoring and moulded into the familiar form which has become so
popular.

One of the most interesting feat
ures of boll weevil control to the cot
ton farmer is the “cost and profit”
of applying measures. Referring to
the use of calcium arsenate one ex
pert has declared that, "It does not
cost to dust —it does cost not to dust."
A comparison of three methods of
poisoning in an average of all tests
conducted in the South in 1923 has
been made and these figures show
conclusively that it pays to use cal
cium arsenate in dust form. The
comparison follows:
Florida Method: Untreated check
plats averaged a yield per acre of
388.7 pounds of seed cotton; treated
plats average 514.3 pounds, a gain of
3 25.8 pounds at a cost of $5.82 an acre
with a profit of $7.94.
Sweetened Poisons: Untreated
check-plats averaged a yield of 668
pounds per acre, while treated plats
averaged 769 pounds, a gain of 101
pounds at a cost of $10.17 an acre and
a profit of $0.94.
Calcium Arsenate in Dust Form:
Untested checks averaged a yield of
566.6 pounds per acre, and untreated
plats averaged 869.3 pounds, a gain
of 802.7 pounds at a cost of $7.74
and a profit of $25.56.
Thus, it is shown that application
of calcium arsenate in dust form in
creases the yield, lowers the cost and
increases the profit. Poisoning by
this method should be even more prof
itable this year under average weather
conditions, as the price of calcium
arsenate is somewhat lower and prob
ably will not go higher provided
farmers buy their supply early in the
season.
Dusting with calcium arsenate
should be applied with machines built
especially for dusting cotton and the
ppplicaiions made only when the air
Is calm and the plants are moist. This
usually means making only night ap
plicants. From five to seven pounds
of calcium arsenate should be used
to the acre.
There should be an interval of four
or five days between applications un
less a heavy rain follows one appli
cation. The cotton should be thor
oughly dusted until the weevils are
under control. This usually means
about three applications. Applica
tions should be renewed wnen the
infestation again reaches 10 to 15 per
cent.
Further Information on boll weevil
control measures may be obtained
from the county agent, state college
of agriculture or the National Boil
Weevil Control Association, ' Room
