Non -Fermenting Syrup. Florida
Professor Solves a Problem
With Florida Moss.

"Now | started on a supposltlon,
based on the fact that If we would

by what practical incans can we
take out the impurities in the

thing / have beard Of, and every.
thing anybody else has heard OF, !
suppose, to fluid something that
would extract the Impurities aud
give me something that would do
the work.
"By an accident disc 1vered
a very simple thing that would
do the work--the long. gray moss,
the Spanish moss, 70 called. That il
an absolute aud positive prevention
Of fermentation of syrup, aud the
way to prevent the fermentation Of
syrup Is TO follow this suggestion
Just Gil a barrel IN your mill with
this dry moss and allow the syrup
to run through 1t, and 1t Will pro.
