WoODWARD's PLAN APPROVED.
District Heads for Limiting Medical
and Dental INSPECTORS Terms.

Approval was given by the District
Commissioners today TO a Recommended
ton by Health officer Woodward that
the terms of appointment Of school med
ical and dental inspectors be limited to
five years No inspector now in service.
however, will be dropped because OF
duration of service alone prior to Au-
gust 81, 1915.
The new ruling is based on the belief
Of the health officer that the average
inspector loses much of his usefulness
after five years service.
Whatever he has gained in experience
in the practice Of medicine and in the
discharge of his official Duties states
Dr. Woodward's communication to the
Commissioners. seems very apt to be
more than offset, if he be an efficient and
energetic physician, by the added in
terest that he has acquired in connection
with his private practice and by the in
creased amount of time and energy that
his private practice demands. Exceptional
cases in which this is not true can be
cared for if this recommendation be
approved. under the right reserved by
the Commissioners to make reappoint-
ments when specially justified by the
records

FRUITS OF CRAP GAME.
Defendant on Larceny Charge
Claims Horse for Debt.

Charged with the larceny of horse
valued by the plaintiff at $40, Robert
Waters, colored. pleaded not guilty in
Police Court yesterday. He explained
to the court that it had the
horse III question but that it had been
offered to him as payment for a debt of
$1.05 which he had won from the plain
tiff in a crap game.
When asked by the court if he would
just as soon have the s1.O5 as the horse
he gave assurance that the animal was
worth but a fractional part of the
actual money involved. The court then
dismissed the case, ordering Robinson
to pay Waters what he owed him, and
directed the latter to see that the
morse was returned to Robinson. The
men left the court arm in arm.

How It Is Eaten.

No one thinks of chewing it. and it is

of the frightful operation necessary to
separate the jaws once the teeth are

-As might be expected. few Europeans
like dumboy on first acquaintance: and
with some the initial distaste prevents
further experiments. IL second or third
attempt is made. however. and the dish
has been properly prepared the habit is
usually formed. and before long every
night spent in the bush without meal
of dumboy is counted a privation. Among
the white residents of Liberia. fondness
for this dish amounts almost to a cult. 1t
is regarded as a sort Of guaranty that

DUMBOY IS NATIONAL
DISH OF LIBERIA
If It Stands Long Enough Broken
Pieces Can Be Used
as Shot.

Dumboy, the national dish of Liberia,
is one OF the worlds gastronomic
wonders; IL allowed to stand long after
being prepared for the table it becomes
very hard, broken pieces Of it being
a favorite kind OF shot for use in the
long Misunderstanding guns of the natives.
A casing Of dumboy is also used to stiff
fen the leather sheaths of the native
swords and knives, according to G. n.
Collins. in a communication to the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
ITO attempt the description OF some
novel food is like attempting to describe
a landscape" writes Mr. Collins.
The constituent parts may be de-
scribed and the manner in which they
are combined, but it requires something
more than accurate description to repro
duce the sensation of the original. The
principal ingredient of dumboy is cas-
sava, or 'cassada,' as it is called in
are the source Of tapioca and some
forms of sage.
ITO prepare the roots for dumboy they
are peeled, boiled and all ibers from the
center removed The cooked roots are
then placed in a large wooden mortar
and beaten with a heavy pestle. This
beating requires considerable skill and
Il
the result is lumpy and inedible.
Beating the Root.
The beating requires about three quar-
tiers Of an hour, and is hard work AS
the beaten mass becomes homogeneous
the pestle produces a loud crack each
time it is drawn from the mortar These
sharp reports can be heard long distances
through the forest, and are very vel
come sounds at the end of a days jour
ney When the dumboy reaches this
stage the operator may rest without in
jury to the product: but once the beat
ing is carried past this point it must
be rapidly completed and the dumboy
eaten at once. The natives say it is
actually dangerous to eat dumboy that
has stood for more than a few minutes
after it is beaten.
AS soon as the beating is finished the
dumboy is taken from the mortar and
placed IN shallow wooden bowls. The
native method is to place the entire
the partakers eat If divided the Gus
tomary portion for each person Is piece
about the size and shape of an ordinary
loaf of bread.
"A soup which has been prepared while
the dumboy was being beaten is now
variety in this soup, which imparts most
of the taste to the dish. There is al
ways stock Of some form of meat This
may be either chicken deer. fish, monkey
or even canned beef. To this are added
as many vegetables as can be obtained.
LAS soon as the soup is added the
dumboy is ready to be eaten: and. while
the ingredients are somewhat bizarre, the
method of eating the dish strikes the
traveller as even more startling The
