LICORICE TRADE
RUDELY BROKEN
off by the European War with
the Dreary City of Mosul
the Sufferer.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-"Thc
Father of licorice. just an enter
prislng British merchant when at
home, many years ago penetrated to
the dreary city OF Mosul. sun
scorched community on the Tigris
opposite the mounds of stored Neve-
yeh in southern Kudishtan, and as
tonished the natives OF the town by
display of willingness to buy all
the licoricc roots that they could
gather. The natives considered this
herb, with its thick tangle OF woody
roots and its defiance OF the farmer,
only as n pest in the fields, and, so,
the Engllshman's eccentric demand
caused another scandal in the near
East about the folly OF the west
erner." Thus begins statement
Just given out by the National Geo
graphic Society at Washington.
"At last, however, the natives hit
upon a satisfactory explanation.
They talked over the matter among
themselves and decided that the Eng
lish sovereign liked to chew the sweet
roots OF their pestiferous weed and
therefore, had provided a contingent
fund of many millions OF dollars 20
that enough Of 1t might always be
on hand. With this simple discovery
the minds of the natives were set at
rest, and they cheerfully aided the
Father of Licorice' to spend all the
money which he cared upon the IL
corice weed. Thus were established
the foundations Of a thriving trade
with world-removed Mosul, trans
forming a despised product into a
source OF considerable income.
"Mosul's export Of its sweet roots
to the western world has been rudely
broken off by the war, and, mayhap
the natives are more hostile than be-
fore to the plant which, besides clog
ging their fields, they consider a
favorable weakness Of the British
king. At any rate. the battle lines
have cut off the most important
sources Of supply Of the popular
children's candy-sugar. the ever
present ingredient in cough medi-
cines, and tho wonderful taste-mask-
ing element In medicines OF nauseat-
ing personality.
"a great part Of the licorice sup
ply lies to the east OF the fighting
lines, in Asia Minor, in Russia, and
in Kudistan. To a very limited ex-
tent, it Is grown in Louisiana and
California. Spain possesses the
largest fields still accessible to the
West, and 1t is grown in inconsid-
cradle quantities, here and there,
along Europe's Mediterranean coast.
"The United States has regularly
been an excellent customer In the
worlds licorice market. Thousands
of pounds Of licorice cough remedies
are consumed in this country every
winter and spring. while, the Amer
lean being VIGOROUSLY fond Of TAX
ing his medicine capsuled, sugared,
or otherwise disguised, great deal
of the import is used for the i'm
provement of the superficial charac-
ter of medicine. Furthermore, lie
orice sugar is more used as a candy
in this country than in any other.
A great part of the. American import
was prepared in the south Of Europe
and brought over in black rolls or
sticks Of licorice PASTE"
