Catching Cold?
MINTOL OFTEN PREVENTS
PNEUMONIA

1t is surprising to read in the daily
papers of treatments that our FORE
fathers and grandmothers used for
coughs, colds, catarrh, and bronchial
affections. 1t impresses the Writer
with the fact that modern scientific
research had not advanced an iota,
when, as a matter of fact, there have
been wonderful advancements in the
treatment of all diseases and condi-
tions that bring on disease. Just be
cause grandmother used old-fashion
mustard blisters or relieving colds
and congested conditions it is 10
sane reasonwhy we should resort to
the old antiquated methods when
there have been such wonderful i'm
provements and new discoveries of
remedies which are far more effective
and less painful to use.
SPECIAL NOTICE:-A druggist
said the other day that a customer
came into his store and inquired for
a mustard plaster and he suggested
to the customer that they try MIN
toll as more modern treatment for
congested conditions. The customer
accepted the druggists suggestion
and in twenty-four hours the same
customer came into the druggist and
said: How long have you handled
MINTOL? The druggist replied that
he had been handling it for some time
and the customer frankly stated
that he would never use a mustard
cream or plaster for colds, coughs, or
any congested conditions again.
There are thousands of others who
would say the same as this druggists
customer did, if they would only try
MINTOL. If your druggist cannot
supply you we will mail you a jar on
receipt of 35c, 60c and $1.25 a jar.

ter of the late Prince Fujo, a noble OF
the first rank. 1t Is of incidental in
terest that there are but five royal
families in Japan from whom an EN-
peror may select a wife. and in view
of the strained relations between the
Nippon Government and it's Chinese
and other Asiatic neighbors, there is
not much chance OF this number ex-
panding, under present conditions at
least.
Crown Prince of Japan.
The hope of the empire is centred
upon Hirohito, the Crown Prince,
whose adoption Of democratic methods
has struck popular appeal. Hirohito
has just passed his twentieth birthday.
Ur to the time that he went abroad,
h" was almost as much mystery to
the people of Japan as his illustrious
sire. He has one advantage in that,
while not physically robust, he enjoys
much better health than his father and
is said to manifest a keen interest in
public matters and progressive princi-
pies.
The Emperor has three other sons,
Yasuhito. Atsu-No-M -Miya, who is 10
years old; Nobuhito, Takamatsu- No
Miya, who is Is years old, and Taxa
hito, Sumi-No- Miya, who is years
old. There are no daughters in the
imperial family. The Emperor has
FIVE sisters. all of whom are married to
princes.
Some of the ancient customs of the
Empire We're shattered when the
Crown Prince of Japan returned from
his tour of Europe early in September
1t appears that the prospective ruler
OF the japanese people was very much
impressed by the democratic recep-
tions given him in London and Paris.
At any rate. he cabled home an an
nouncement that he would not object
to popular reception. After much
celebrating among the royal and ia
vored families, it was decided to grant
the request Of the Prince.
/ was in a small town on the Japa-
nese Sea when the imperial announce
ment was made that the lid would be
taken off when the Crown Prince came
back, that the populace would actually
no permitted to gaze upon his august
figure and "Banzai'' its head off. The
announcement caused a sensation, be-
cause none like it had ever been made
before. Interpreting the royal COM
mission as a command. the citizens
at Yokohama and Toxic proceeded to
make the most elaborate preparations
for the royal home coming.
At Yokohama. where the youthful
Grown Prince landed amid the thunder
of guns and the whirring of aircraft.
and at Toxic, where he finally pulled
up, the greeting extended to him
would have been regarded as mildly
democratic in western countries, but
it was viewed as almost Bolshevistic
by the reactionary element, who jeal-
ously guard the old traditions.
The old timers attempted to limit
the popular greeting to the Prince to
the truly Oriental formula. They
were strong enough with the police

from their sides and never dare to
raise an eye TO the Emperor's person.
The only departure from this arbi-
trary rule was when the Emperor left
his palace in July in Toxic for his
palace in charming Mikko. His de-
parture was not announced, and ne
actually used a motor car instead OF
the splendid court equippaee in going
to the railway station. But the great
est sensation created by any circum-
stance surrounding this unprecedented
concession to modern usage was that
the streets were not lined with the
military or police and that no attempt
vas made to prevent an adoring eye
from focusing on the figures of the

Japanese ruler from a man who saw
him on that occasion. The clearest one

in fact a sick man. He has never been
robust, and l am reliably Informed
that his ailment is not entirely of
physical character, but that he is sick
in mind" as well.
This fact does not appear to mako
the slightest difference to the Japa-
nese. He is their Emperor; he is the
Son of Heaven he is descended from
the Sun Goddess. That's about all
they seem TO care anything about.
They never trouble themselves TO find
out how the country is administered
by their Emperor. what minds for
mulate the policies of state. through
what agencies decisions are reached.
All of these things are considered to
be a matter Of personal concern to the
Emperor himself.
The politicians (who never bring the
Emperor into their disputes. by the
way) know pretty we'll that the Privy
Council, of which Prince Yamagata Is
the head, wields the greatest influence
with Yoshihito, and that in the last
analysis IL is the Genro, composed or
Elder Statesmen, that decides.
They further know that in the
elaborate encourage Of the Emperor
are favorites of the royal family and
trusted retainers Of the Elder states

be depended upon to protect the IN
terests of % the Emperor, CD the
Genro and (3) the empire.
Duties OF the Emperor.
Under the organization of the Gov
ernment the duties OF the Emperor Of
Japan are few and simple. They are:
1. The right to convoke. open, close
or prorogue the Imperial Diet and dis
solve the House Of Representatives.
2. The right to issue emergency or
dinances when the Imperial Diet is not
in session.
3. The right to put into operation
measures for maintaining peace and
order.
4. The right to assume supreme COM
mand of the army and navy and to
direct the organization of the armed
service.
5. The right to declare war, make
peace. conclude treaties and proclaim
state of siege.
Beyond these duties, the Emperor OF
Japan does not figure in the adminis-
tration of the Government. That Is
left to the very nicely balanced groups
of bureaucrats, who take their orders
from the Genro, or from other MEM
bers Of the imperial family On but
two occasions during the year does the

TO send out word the night before the
arrival OF His Imperial Majesty that
expressions of Joy on the part of the
people would be restricted to the
4" eikeirei." This meant that the peo-
pie would only be permitted to line
the streets with their arms hanging
abiectly at their sides and with bowed
head as royalty passed by. The only
concession announced by the police
was that the populace might steal a
glance at the August Presence. but
should not under any circumstances
take a square look at him.
For once-the only time In history
the police lost. The Prince had been
advised of the police order and i'm
mediately vetoed 1t, with the result
that his royal subjects not only
"seikeried." but wave their hats, UNI
brellas and kimonos. Further than
this, they chorused their greeting Of
"Kotaishi DenlSa Banzai" (Welcome
home Your Imperial Highness). Also
they actually committed lese majestic

Of course, correctly garbed in toppers

respects in perfect form, even to

ally stuck to the only garb counte-
nanced for their sex, but they dis
played their most brilliant obs and

The police and cavalry which COM
manded the cross streets looked upon
the audacity of the crowds in helpless
displeasure, but did not attempt 10

upon celebrants who for the first time
were permitted TO welcome an I'M
perial Prince without a police permit.
AS a whole, the demonstration was

The incapacitated Emperor did not
come from Nikko, but the first thing
the Crown Prince did after greeting
his brothers. sisters and great men Of
the empire was to leave Toxic to tell
his parents all about the wonders of
his Western odyssey His next duty
was to visit the Imperial brine at
Ise to give thanks to his Shinto Gods
for his safe return.
For more than a week celebrations
in honor Of the event were held
throughout the empire. During that
week even the riclsshaw men displayed
disinclination TO work. The fact
that they had been permitted to "put

for their Prince was an event not to
