themselves unreservedly at the ser

has MANY VALUES
Yucca One Of the Most Priced Of
Earth'S Productions.
Important Article Of Diet Among
South American Indians Should
Find Ready Appreoia-
tion Here.

II the war had lasted much longer
no doubt we would have been using
real Indian flour BY now-nour made
from the yuca or manioc or cassava
plant-a tropical shrub which grows
to a height Of SIX feet. Herbert J.
Spnden of the STAFF of the American
Museum Of Natural History, who has
spent much time Ia Central and South
America, recently described the yuca
ana Its value as a food.
Manloc flour, he said, is made from
the root Of the manioc. 1t is probably
the principal food Of the Indians OF
the wet lowlands Of South America,
and is also much used In the West In
dies. Two species Of manioc are
known, of which one contains hydro
cyanic acid, poisonous juice which
has to be extracted by q special proc
ess, while the other is non-pOisonous.
This latter variety is, however, gen
orally considered to furnish an infe-
rior meal, and is used chiefly as a
fresh vegetable.
In making manloc flour, the very
juicy roots OF the plant, which some
what resemble sweet potatoes in
: shape are grated according to Italian
fashion on a board set with rock crys-
tails The grated meal must then be
subjected to high pressure in order TO
drive off the poisonous juice. The
Indians accomplish this by stuning the
int t.tl f,I, a.,
stretched out so that its volume is de-
creased. Really tremendous pressure
Iis exerted by this simple machine.
The poisonous fluid Is drained through
the basllet-work into pottery vessels.
The meal is then. taken out of the
tube and used chiefly for making thin
waters, often of large size which are
slightly Drowned on either side by bal-
ing on griddles. These cakes will
last for a long time and are consid-
lered excellent food.
But it is the general utility of this
plant that would truly delight Mr..
Hooyer's heart. For besides the flour,
the plant yields an excellent starch, a
condiment, and taploca--the last
named being the principal article Of
commerce derived from the yuca.
The starch is contained in the poi
sonous juice which is extracted from
the meal. The starch is allowed to
settle in the fluid which is then poured
off. In certain places, the manioc
meal is not subjected to pressure but
is thoroughly stirred in water in or
der to extract the largest possible
amount Of starch. Manioc starch,
which commands a higher price in the
tropics than corn starch, is generally
regarded as Of the highest quality
After the extraction of the starch the
juice of the yucca is subjected to heat
sufficient to destroy the poison in it.
1t is then used as a cOndiment (cassa-
reep). This extract, which has a
sharp, peppery quality, has consider
able commercial value, and serves as
a base for certain table sauces and
for the soup known as Philadelphia
pepper pot. Tapioca is obtained by
heating the starch while it is moist.
