JAPANESE COMB ARCTIC FOR FODDER
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")
TOKYO, YESTERDAY. EXTENSIVE DEPOSITS OF MOSS IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS CAN | BE DEVELOPED AS A SOURCE OF SUBSTITUTE FODDER AND FEED, ACCORDING то DR. TOMOJI MATSUOKA, PROFESSOR
OF
| AGRICULTURE AT THE TOKYO
HIGH SCHOOL.
Dr. Matsuoka's experiments. havé revealed that when properly treated chemically, moss makes an ideal sub- stitute for dried grass, rice and wheat bran.
A large factory to turn out moss fodder and feed is to be es- tablished by a Tokyo Industrial- Ist in the near future in Sag- hallen with the assistance of the Saghallen Government.
The region near the Soviet border is believed to contain 10 billion tons of good quality moss and twice or thrice the quantity of slightly infer- ior moss. Because it contains am- monia, it is necessary to pulverise Arctic moss and apply acids to make it harmless for animals. Soya bean and fish powder are then added to impart protein, and it is next fer- mented with yeast, and dried.— Havas

CHILDREN
WHO WON'T EAT
There's nothing so wearing for
a mother as a child who won't eat well. Usually such a child the "nervy" highly-strung type. He picks at his food, looks palę and loses weight.
Coaxing won't improve matters, Child specialists everywhere re- commend Horlicks for these "nervy" children with faded ap- petites.
The reason is that Horlicks not only builds bone and muscle, but it stimulates their appetites for the foods they need. In a remarkably short time they get .strong, healthy, full of life and "go." And children love the taste of Horlicks. "Get Horlicks to-day.
