There was a "scare" on tho Cotton Exchange yesterday nnd -frenzied soiling of cotton 'aj panic price. That was foolish. Come war. como peace, the population of the earth must -bo clothed. Como war, como peace, Europe mu.t buy American cotton. Cotton, un like stock. Is not a piece of paper. C otton Is an article sold. Indispensa ble tho world over, helped by war r athor than depreciated by It. Armies In tho field consume enormous quan titles ot cotton Roods, since cotton fornix the cheapest as welt as tho in ost serviceable class ot clothing.

A timid corresfiondcnt writes In effect: "Should I take my money out of the bank?" No! That Is tho best place In the world for It. KEEP IT THERE.

Looking across the Atlantic and contrasting tho hideous condition stalking there with the bounteous conditions blessing this richly-favored land, let us preserve cool heads and thankful hearts. DumboyNational Dish of Liberia , WASHiNh'ro.v, i). c, Aug. ov Diimboy, the national dish of Liberia, is one 'of the world' gastronomic wonders; if allowed to fetnnd long after being prepared lor the table it becomes very hard, broken rjieces of it being n favorite kind of shot for use in the long muzzle-loading gunrf of the natives. A casing gf diimboy l Alo used to stiffen the leather sheaths of the native swords ami knives, according to (I. K. Collins, in 4i (ommunlcatiou to Ihe National Geographic Mieicly at Washington; I). ('. "To attempt the description of some novel food is like attempting to dencribe n laudscnpe," writes Mr. Collii-.. "Tho constituent parts may he described nud ihe manner in which they are combined, but it require, something more llimi accurate de scription lo reproduce the sensation of the original. Tliu principal ingre dient of diimboy i cassava, or Vns xudii,' as it is called in Liberia. The edible roots of this plant nre Ihe sourc of tapioco anil some fornis of sago. To prepare the roots (r diim boy they are peeled, boiled and all fibers from the center remoi'd. The cooked roots nre Ihcu placed in a large wooden mortar nnd beaten with i In 1:1 v pestle. This beating requires cntiMilcrable skill mid experience. In the hands of a police ihe result is lumpy und inedible. "The hen ling requires nbout three quarter of mi hour, und is hard work. As the beaten muss becomes homogeneous the xstlo produces u loud crack each time it is drawn from tliu mortar. These sharp re ports can he heard long distances through llie forct, and are very wel come sounds at Ihe cud of u day's journey. When tlio diimboy reaches lliii stage ihe operator may rest without injury to the protliict; hut, once the heating is curried past (his point, it mini he rapidly completed and Ihe diimhoy cnlen nt once. The natives say it is actually dangerous to cat diimboy that has stoo'l for more than 11 i'civ iiiiiuilfg niter it is hcaleu. "As Mion us Ihe healing U fin Mied tliu diimhoy is inked from the iiinrliirnnd placed in shallow wooden Imnlrf, The unlive piclhod Is I" jilm-e Ihu entire qiiuiilily In ouv luryc illii red millions of our own people to o howl, from which all the partakers cat. If divided, the eustomnrv por tion for each person is a piece nbout the size nnd shajio of an ordinary loaf of bread. A soup which has been prepared while the diimhoy was being beaten is now poured into each bowl. There is great variety in this soup, which imparts mo-t of the taste to the dish. There is always a slock of nimie form of meat. This may he ellher chicken, deer, fish, monkey or even canned beef. To this nre added as many vegetables as can be obtained. "As soon ns the soup is added the diimboy is ready to be eaten; nnd, while the ingredients nre somewhat bizarre, the method of eating the dish hlrikes ihe iruveler as even more startling. The mass of diimboy, which vun best he described as a sticky dough, will adhere iimtantly to anything dry, hut is readily cut with a wooden ssiou if the spoon is kept moist with soup. An incredibly Jarge jiiece is cut off with tho moistened spoon) taken up with a quantity of soup and swallowed whole. No one thinks of chewing it, nud it is cus tomary to caution tlio novice by tales of the frightful operation nec essary lo t,cjiarate the jaws once (lie teeth nre buried in tlio sticky muss. "As might bo expected, few Euro peans like diimhoy on find acquaint ance; and, with some, the initial dis taste prevents further experiments. If n second or third attempt is made, however, and the dish has been prop erly prepared, the habit is iiMinlh formed nnd before long every night spent in the hush without a meal of diimboy i counted a privation. "Among the white residents of Li beria, fondness for this dish amounts almost lo u cult. It is re garded ns a sort of guaranty (hut one's tenderfoot days are over."
