LIcORICE ROOT.
United States Is Principal Consumer
Methods of Preservation.

"StnSoS " PTSPoTdGOHs
United States Consul Harris OF
Smyrna supplies the following inform
nation concerning the licorice root
industry OF Asiatic Turkey:
'Licorice root grows wild In the
fields Of Asia Minor, and few attempts
have been made thus far toward its
cultivation. IL grows chiefly In the
Meander and Hermus valleys, and un-
I'll so years ago was practically un-
used. The root grown on the Meander
plains is the best in the world, being
superior 10 that found in Syria, Meso-
potamia, Caucasia, Siberia or China.
The exporters of the root lease Leo
rice-bearing lands for period OF from
three to five years. Digging usually be-
gins in October, and is done by peas
ants, who at the end Of each day de-
liver the root TO the various depots
and receive payment according 10 the
quantity they bring. The wages earned
depend entirely upon the industry OF
the individual laborer.
THE root is piled up and exposed
TO the air until about May or June. II
then weighs only half as much as orig
inally. owing to the thorough drying
process TO which ii has been subjected.
The root is sorted to obtain the quail
ties known as debris and 'bagette,'
both of which are highly valued. The
quantity and consumption OF these
two qualities is but small compared
with the unsorted root exported for
the manufacture of sugar and powd-
er of licorice.
"Licorice root is shipped in bales
weighing about 22O pounds each.
pressed by hydraulic machinery and
strapped with iron bands. The Unit
ed States is the principal consumer OF
this class of lcorice, which is shipped
there in its natural state as raw ma
terial, being admitted free Of duty. 1t
is converted into licorice paste for
medicinal purposes, and is especially
used for flavoring plug tobacco. Lie
orice root in its original state can al
so be found in any drug store in Amer
lea. Annual exports TO the United
States amount to about 1920 tons.
valued at s550,000.
The debris and bagette qualities
are purchased almost exclusively by
France. Germany also purchases
small quantity. This class OF licorice
is shipped in sacks weighing from 300
to $50 pounds each. Prices vary from
year TO year, but as a rule various
kinds of roots unsorted sell T. o. b.
Smyrna at 81 per 220 pounds. The
price Of sorted debris and bagette va
ries from $500 to $3.50 per 22O
pounds.
'Licorice intended for European mar
kets is first converted into paste in
factories near Smyrna. 1t is shipped
in cases which weigh about $50
pounds each. Recently small loaves
have been prepared for export which
weigh from TO II pounds each, "a OF
which are packed in single case.
England is the chief purchaser OF lie
orice in the paste, only small quanti-
ties being exported to other European
countries. This paste sells at $14.4O
in cases of $50 pounds and the loaves
at 1885 in cases of 900 pounds. Pay.
ments are made cash. with discount
of l to / 1-2 per cent, or by draft at
three months date"

Insurance Commissioner Cutting has
just issued Part OF his 52nd annual
report, and at the end makes an in
teresting summary OF the life insur-
ance conditions since the so-called In

He says In part:
THE impairment OF public conf.
dence Is the reason most frequently
given for the fact that less insur-
ance is being written than in the
"halcyon and vociferous days Ito
borrow a fitting phrase I'm vogue
score years ago), before the "investi.
CATION and this reason is not in
frequently given with a tone that i'm
plies that the real culprits In the
matter were not those who committed
the abuses, but those who discovered
and made them public.
But the great public takes little
stock in such sOphistry No amount
OF II ran conceal the naked truth that
II was the wrongdoers who impaired
public confidence in tho business.
That there has been nc vindictive-
ness on the part OF State officials OF
the law seems 10 be amply proved
by the fact that, in fac- OF the prod
ding by the public press. only one
person has yet received a!.y punish
ment by the State for the abuses dis
closed.
1T will be admitted generally. II Is
believed, that on the whole insnr-
ance companies of all kinds are
stronger and better conducted than
they were before supervision began,
and are yearly growing stronger.

milk can be so safeguarded that il can
be furnished TO the consumers at rea-
sonable prices and in perfectly whole
some condition. In an address on The
Ideal Milk of the Future" he said that
the danger of tuberculosis is much
over-estimated. that cleanliness and
care in the handling OF milk are the
two main factors to be considered. and
that these can be secured without ex-
pensive or intricate alterations of
dairies.
The commissioners recommendation
that the states should have undisputed
control of the milk supply in rural
districts is one. however. that will ex-
cite much discussion. That the cities
should have the power TO determine
conditions under which milk intended
for sale within their borders shall he
produced, he argued. is illustrated by
the fact that the metropolis draws its
supply from 10000 dairies and 600

both in London and New York. The
story of the play is most interesting
in brief is as follows; The French
legislative chamber is discussing a new
bill legalizing divorce. NJ. de Prunelles
and his wife Cyprienne are living In
the country. She has grown very
weary and bored. In one OF the pur-
pie patches of the evening she rounds
on" her husband and tells him plain
ly that men are veterans in the art OF
love and women neophytes when they
marry and il isn't fair on the woman
Cyprienne then informs her husband
that she intends to graduate from such
q stupid class, To cut a long story
short. the husband and lover change
places-superfcially only and directly
afterward Cyprienne repents.
