LIcoaicE ROOT.
We Buy Half a Million Dollars Worth
Year from Asia Minor.

Licorice root grows Wild in the
fields OF Asia Minor and few attempts
have been made thus far towards its
cultivation.
Until so years ago it was practically
unused, says Fur News The root
grown on the Meander plains is the
best in the world. being superior TO
that found in Syria, Mesopotamia,
Caucasia, Siberia or China.
The exporters of the root lease lie
orice bearing lands for a period OF
from three to FIVE years Digging usu-
ally begins in October, aud is done by
peasants. who at the end OF each day
deliver the root to the various depots
and receive payment according to the
quantity they bring.
The root is piled up and exposed to
the air until about May and June. II
then weighs only half as much as orr
ginally. owing TO the thorough drying
process to which IL has been subject
cd. The root is sorted to obtain the
qualities known as debris" and "ba-
sette," both of which are highly val
ued
Licorice root is shipped in bales
weighing about 220 pounds each.
pressed by hydraulic machinery and
strapped with iron bands. The United
states is the principal consumer of
this class of llcorice. which is shipped
there in its natural state as raw ma
teriai. being admitted free OF duty.
IL is converted into licorice paste
for medicinal purposes. and is espe-
cially used for tlavoring plug tobacco.
Ilcorico root In its original state can
also be found in any drug store in
America. Annual exports TO the
United States amount TO about 1920
tons, valued at $550,000.

German military hive dogs trained TO
search out and attond the wounded
and call human assistance.
These dogs OF the ambulance CORPS
are trained TO divided duties. Some Of
them, carrying little fash OF water
or restorative. simply sit and bark or
bay near the body OF fallen man.
others have been trained to go In
search OF assistance and guide a sol.
der of the ambulance corps.
The trained dogs performed all
these functions very slillfully at the
