Japanese Using Mere Milk.

The habit OF using milk has greatly
increased among the japanese in re.
cent years, yet the average amount of
milk consumed by each Japanese is
still far below that OF the European
or American. The total amount If
i,ilk produced in Tokyo Prefec,ure
during the year 1911 was 1886 koku
and the total amount of daily con.
sumption was over u. koku which
means that each person consumed on
all average only ol so a day. which
will hardly bear comparison with the
four or five so of 'he average daily
consumption per person in Europe or
America.
