The moâ€" hair may be mixed with silk in the weavire process, and has been imi:ated by the use of cotton and wool. > Mohair is an extremely durable fibcr with a fine luster. It is wide‘y used in fabrics which have to stand up under hard usage, as in home and theatre furniture, hair" is woven. Angora goats are raised in quantitiee in Turkey, South Africa, and in some parts of the United States. DIFFERS FROM WOOL Mohair fiber is 7 to 10 inches long and closely resembles woo!, except that the scales on the fiber are only indicated, n:t fully deâ€" veloped as in wool. Angora goats (named for their native place, Angora, in Asiatic Turkey) are said to have had a continuous and useful existence ever since the days of Abraham. The Angora has long spiral horns and a luxurous crop of long white silky hair. It is from this fleece that the stromg cloth called "meâ€" The _ word "mohair" comes from the Old French mehaire, which traces back to the Arabic mukhayyar, meaning fabrics of goat‘s hair. Mohair fiber is obâ€" tained from Angora goats. Mohair From Angora Goat stock and â€" poultry feéliing and other purposes. With Canada‘s production inâ€" tensified, Canadian fishery scienâ€" tists say production of medicinal wil could be increased to more than 200,000 gallons. Canadian output of cod liver oil in 1938, the latest year for which figures are available, included 62,600 #allons of mediciral quality and 109,000 gallons of oil for use in The two new plants, one loâ€" cated at Port Saxon, N.S., and the otherâ€"at Fox River in the Gaspe, Que., district, are confinâ€" ing their production to cod liver oil of medicinal value. A Halifax plant also produces this type of ofl, on a smallet scale. Other plants, located in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick manufacture both types of oil. WORK FOR SELEâ€"SUFFICIENCY Annual consumption of cod liver oil in Canada for all purâ€" poses averages 460,000 gallons. Imports from Norway and the United Kingdom, major producâ€" ers of cod liver oil, now have disâ€" appeared. cesses. Two new refining plants have been â€" established _ and â€" several others are being equipped in Eastern .Canada for production for cod liver oil, both of medicâ€" inal quality and the kind used for feeding stock and poultry and in various commercial proâ€" To per cent of the cod liver oil useAd in this country. Because the war has disrupted normal foreign sources of cod liver oil, a production program whickh should make Canada seifâ€" sufficient in this field is being developed, it was learned last week. Ordinarily Canada imports War Can‘t Stop Cod Liver Oil PROTECTED BY LAW Throughout the entire area most of the wild birds, including the gulls and terns, are protectâ€" ed under Dominion or Provincial laws, and to injure them in any way, or to molest them unduly in their breeding colonies, is strictly prohibited at all times. Tourists travelliny over the Thousand Islands International Bridge and visitors to the St. Lawrence Islands Natienal Park are amazed at the wealth of bird life, particularly sea birds, in the region. The international bridge spans the St. Lawrence River beâ€" tween Collins Landing, New York and Ivy Lea, Ont., and rests in part on two park islandsâ€"Geocrgâ€" ina and Constance. About two hundred islands may be seen from the bridge, and it is not uncomâ€" mon to observe flocs of gulls, terms, and other water birds fishâ€" in@ and going through their graceiul aeronautics. In the myâ€" riad cf islands which dot the St. Lawrence between tke bridge and Kingston, breeding colonies of gulls ard terns and nesting places of mary other kinds of birds are found.

The current does not remove the gray matter, but effectively bakes and destroys it. "BAKED" GRAY MATTER A discovery that skilled surgiâ€" cal operations can be performed on the gray matter of the brain with nothing but an electrical curâ€" rent, has just been reported. *"*WETTER" WATER WORKS A discovery that the chemicals which make "wetter" water are good for killing npmerous kinds of deadly germs was reported to the bicentennial conference of the University of Pennsylvania. â€"These chemicals are known as wetting agents. They make water so "wet" that it penetrates to the skins of birds and even of water fowl. Some new forms of soap were found in the same discovery to have exactly similar germ killâ€" ing powers. Without it, soil germs, the azoâ€" tobacter, which fix nitrogen for plant growth, are unable to work. This fixation is the base of all plant life, and therefore biotin probably is a primary source of all the food on earth. Biotin proves to be part of the vitamin B "complex." It is so powerful, it is measured in thousâ€" ands of a millionth of a gram. Biotin, a colorless crystal, has been a chemical mystery for two years since the Netherlands sciâ€" entists, F. Kogel and B. Tonnes, extracted a barely visible quanâ€" tity from 250,000 yearâ€"old Chinâ€" ese duck ogg yolks. A new vitamin, biotin, the most potent and powerful physiological substance ever discovered, was described to the American Chemiâ€" cal Society last week. $+40"~s « vtev oo ceese oqao-.o-..,- VITAMIN MYSTERY CLEAREFD momam“.oaocoo-; & Â¥ What Scnence; ® Is Doing â€" ; as the Japanese invade -F;;r;;h Indoâ€"China at Haiphong and clash with Indoâ€"Chinese forces at Dong ustiond Sorminamiptetsens k ~ eL 2 This map shows where newest Asiatic complications have arisen Dang in an effort to invade CHiri; by the "back door."

Nor does it add to the beauty of a girl‘s face or the handsome features of an Apollo. 8. Yes. If a ‘boy is taught these courtesies at home, they will come natural to him when he is elsewhere. 4.

About 15 vitamins have so far been demonâ€" strated from animal experimental work. â€" Nine have been shown neâ€" cessary for human nutrition. Under ordinary conditions, if the individual takes a diet conâ€" sisting of a pint to a pint and a khalf of milk a day for children, one half a pint for adults, some meat, an egg a day, two liberal helpings of vegetables besides poâ€" tato, some raw fruit, some whole grain cereals, either in the form of brown bread or breakfast cerâ€" eals, and some vitamin D, (codâ€" liver oil or its equivalent), in the months from September to June, he will be using all the known vitamins in adequate amounts. Under unusual conditions as in illness, pregnancy, lactation and any dictary restrictions, it may be necessary to give vitamins in their concentrated form. There is considerable evidence that Canadians suffer most from lack of the vitamins B1, D and sometimes vitamin C. A restricâ€" tion in diet will accentuate this condition. During the progress of an infection the need for most vitamins is markedly increased. A similar need is seen during‘ pregâ€" nancy and lactation when the deâ€" mand is doubled. In a recent number of the (Toâ€" ronto) Academy Bulletin, Dr. Frederick Tisdall contributes an instructive atricle on Vitamins. He points out that according to the figures issued by the Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa, approxiâ€" mately 44% of the caloric intake of Canadian people, based on an average daily intake of 3000 calâ€" ories, is practically devoid of vitamins.
