Bicycles Largely
 Used by Japanese

TOKYO, Jan 30.-In comparison with it's population there probably arc more bicycles used in Japan than in any other country in the world. not excluding England, where the bicycle is still largely used for pleasure trips.
 In Japan, however, they are used more for commercial purposes, they being better adapted to the narrow streets than wagons or motor trucks. There are now more than 2,0O0,000 of them in use in the country, the total licensed ot the end of 1921, when the last returns were compiled, being 1,800,385. As each bicycle pays a yearly tax of 8 yen, a con- siderable revenue is obtained from this source.
 Most of these bicycles are made in Japan but Great Britain heads the list of countries sending these ma chimes here the United States being second with less than half of Eng land.

Pack sees that the demand for a national forest policy must come from the people and not from any one group of foresters, lum- bermen or timberland owners, as the people are vitally interested in hay ing steady and permanent production of forest products. Up to now the foresters have not been able to agree upon form of forestry policy and so Mr Pack has determined to de. vote himself to arousing the public to the value of tree planting

FOXYGRANDPA'S STORIES
BUNNY PROVES FOXY GRANDPA'S HENS ARE
DOING THEIR DUTY.

; After a few days Bunny came
hopping toward me. 1t was right
after breakfast, and l must admit
that had heard a great cackling
in the barnyard.
AS Bunny jumped up on my
knee, he said:
mot a moment to spare. Come
quickly. I've found the culprit.
1 knew those hens were all
right"
So we followed Bunny quickly.
When we came to the door of the
barn he put his paw up to his
lips and said: Ssh" So I kept as
still as a mouse as 1 looked into
the dark barn.
And there was a sight I shall
never forget! For there lying on
his back was a big fat rat! And
Graded on his stomach and
clutched in his four feet was a
beautiful white egg! And pulling
him by the tail were two other
big fat rats! The rat CARRYING
the egg was a regular sledgc,
They were carrying the egg to
their nest without breaking It!
"Well, / neverr' 1 exclaimed.
II never dreamed such a thing
could be possible"
The egg carriage and its little
rat horses disappeared into the
darkness. l followed and there
back in a dark corner of the barn
at the entrance of a rat hole were
many broken eggshells. They had
been carrying the eggs there
regularly!
I'm sorry / said one unkin1
word about those hens, Bunny"
said I.

"But that is the cleverest thing
I ever saw" / added. There's
one thing certain. Wen not have

|WHYNOT MORE
TOAST?
BY Hannah Wing

Matters Pertaining to House.

!" HERE is nothing in the
whole realm of cookery more
simple and yet more salts.
flying than a hot, ,well-made piece
of toast. Why toast is associated
so exclusively with breakfast and
why it is 80 often served, even
then, as cold, cracking, crumbly
necessity rather than a crisp de-
light is unsolved mystery.
Good toast, like good steak, re-
quires a quick soaring on both
sides to seal the surface and keep
the flavor; then a slower cooking
to develop the flavor.
Besides sugar, fat and milk,
bread contains starch and gluten.
Toasting brings out, develops and
changes the flavor of each of
these ingredients. Parched or
dextrinized starch has a sweet,
nutty flavor entirely different
than when untoasted. Sugar Is
caramelized for flavor in making
many desserts and although the
amount of sugar is slight, the faint
trace of caramel in the flavor of
toast is exceedingly pleasant.
To make good toast, brown each
side just enough to seal it. Then
toast slowly, turning from side to
side until the surface is crisp and
a deep golden brown and the
center OF the slice is tender, CIV
ing almost sandwich effect.
Bread for toasting should be
cut about three-eighths of an inch
in thickness. Toast and zwie-
bach are two entirely different
things and toast should not be
made to resemble zwiebach. Good
zwiebach can only be made by
baking, not by toasting.
If toast is to be buttered it
should be buttered Immediately
and kept hot by wrapping in a
napkin il it is served from the
kitchen. The new electric table
stoYes and coasters make perfect
toast possible as each slice may
be served to the individual as 1t
is made and buttered while still
hot.
Half slices the best to toast as
one-half does not then cool while
the other is being eaten. To
many minds no breakfast is com.
plete without a bit of hot toast
and marmalade with which to
top off. Those who know the
qualities of well made toast would
not exchange it for any other
form of hot bread for breakfast.

scales mingle with the oil of the
hair and the result Is dandruff.
That is why dandruff is so often
found in oily hair.
Wash your hair as often as it
needs washing. When your scalp
feels hot and irritated, the
chances are it is time for
shampoo. The correct interval
between shampoos may vary
with different persons from once
a week to once a month.
But as long as you have a trace
of dandruff you should wash your
hair frequently. Twice a week
will not be too often.
Liquid green soap is excellent
for the shampoo. Massage the
soapsuds into your scalp and
through your hair well, then rinse
them out thoroughly in at least
three waters.
Keep your head cool. 1t is the

causes brittle hair and falling
