Prince on Pilgrimage
To Sacred Shrine

Toxic, April 22.-Japan's venera-
ton for her great leaders of the past
will be brought home to the Prince Of
Wales when he is taken on pilgrim
age to the sacred Tenno shrine, bor-
dering on the ancient capital Of
Kyoto, burial place of Meiji Tenno.
father of the present ruler and the
great figure head of the restoration
period; and of Jimmu Tenno, founder
of the empire.
The Meiji tomb is situated at
Momoyama, wooded cmimence some
five miles from Kyoto, spot which
the late emperor is said to have chos-
en- as his last resting place.
The tomb itself is remarkably sim
pie, consisting Of huge mounnd Of
concrete, covered with 100000 minute
slabs of white granite, and so con
structed as to withstand the ravagcs
of time and nature. The mound rests
on terraced slope, behind which, am.
phitheater like, is grove of trees,
the open space in front being covered
with fine white sand while round it is
4 double line Of stone fences pierced
by tori" gates bearing the imperial
insignia.
This district is particularly rich in
historical associations. 1t is the site
of the famous palace of the DICTATOR
Hdeyoshi, built in 1894 but now COM
pletely destroyed. 1t is said to have
been the most magnificent mansion
ever built in Japan. Here, too, not
far from the Meiji tomb is the mauso-
leum cf the Emperor Kwammu, who,
in 792, founded the imperial capital
Of Kyoto, distinction which belonged
to this city until Meiji Tenno moved
tO Toko in modern times.
The mausoleum of Jimmu Tenno is
built on the low hill of Unebi over
looking the romantic land Of Yamato.
where in the dim ages, was founded
the empire Of Japan. 1t is large
mound Of tumulus Of stone and earth
surrounded by ancient trees and a
double line of moats.
To both these tombs are attached
shrincs, simple and severe in aspect,
perfect examples Of Shinto architcc-
ture. That dedicated to the founder of
Japan is situated at Kashiwabara, at
the foot of Mt. Uneb, while the N"iii
Shrine, in recognition of that En-
peror's long connection with Toxic,
has been erected in TIE present day
capital.

de Ussia, the 17-year-old daughter of
the Marquis de Aldama, of Spain,
whose horse, Viburnum, won the
Grand Prix de Nice, this spring. The
first time out she brought her Il
purse Of 100000 francs.
"A Spanish owner, Belgian train

horse are a hard combination to
beat" the Senorita said when her
friends congratulated her.
Frank O'Neill of st. Louis had the

Successors to
Siamese Twins

San Antonio, Tex, April 22.-Liv-
ing here are the successors of Rosa
and Josefa Black, world-famed
Siamese Twins, who died recently at
Chicago.
They are Violet and Daisy Hilton,
l6, and attractive.
Violet and Daisy are "Siamese
Twins"-their bodies are joined to-
gether at the base of the spine-just
like Rosa and josef, just like Eng
and Chang, original Siamese Twins
whom Barnum made famous in the
last century.
Save for the abnormal joining Of
their bodies, Violet and Daisy are just
like any two ordinary 16-year-old
And save for the fact that one must
go wherever the other goes, they en-
joy the same pastimes and diversions
any girls of 16 would enjoy.
They're fond of cards, checkers and
dominos. But both don't always play
the same game at the same time.
The other night Daisy was engaged
in beating her uncle at dominos while
Violet, brows puckered, was trying to
disentangle herself from the intrica-
cies of high bid in bridge
Both girls like to read. But while
one reads Oliver Twist, the other may
be thrilled by movie serial!
Both are fond of the movies-and
# the same kind Of movies, for both
must always attend the same show.
They prefer serial pictures of wild ad-
venture to the humdrum society ro-
mance.
Each twin writes an entirely diff
Fcrent handwriting. While the pen
manship Of both is good, their scripts
arc as different as the two poles.
The children romp and play about
the grounds of their winter home here
lust as any children. They move
about with marvellous rapidity and
ease.
Daisy and Violet have been educat-
fused to send them to public school
because of the comment their joined
condition might call forth.
San Antonio'S "Siamese Twins" to
| day are the oldest known such twins
il existence. Many such twins are
born, but few live beyond babyhocd.
Rosa and josef Black were well
over 40 when they died. Eng and
Chang were 63.

Queer Situation in
Matrimonial Gin les

Honolulu, Il. H., March 2O.-By
Maid .-Divorc,d or lot divorced was
the problen that faced scores Of wor-
ried Honolulu residents whose matri-
monial bonds had been severed os-
tensibly by Judge John r. Desha OF
the domestic relations branch of the
circuit court here, until message re-
ceived from Attorney General Daugh-
erty said that flaw in Judge De
sha's commission, which threatened
to nullify his acts on the bench, was
negligible and would not affect his
DEGREES.
The statute creating the Office
which Judge Deshea holds designated
the position as Judge of the division
Of domestic relations" His commits
sion from President Harding created
him fourth judge of the circuit
court" the discrepancy was not dis
covered until some time after Judge
Desha had assumed his position and
had granted scores of divorces. The
e anxiety of the persons affected by
these DEGREES arose from the unoffi-
cial opinion of several justices of the
territorial supreme court that Judge
Desha's official acts probably would
be declared invalid. The anxiety was
dissipated by Attorney General
Daugherty's message.

A triumph of modern pharmacy
that is destined to bless the whole
world, from the King on his throne to
the humblest laboring man,-that is
the opinion Of druggists who have
been watching the sale of the new
calomel tablet that is free from the
Objectionable effects of the old-style
calomel.
An occasional purifying of the sys-
TEN and thorough cleansing of the
liver are absolutely essential TO the
maintenance of health, and calonel is
the only drug that gives permanent
tc>nlts. Now th.t the unpleasant eff,
fects are entirely removed, the popu-
larity of the new calomel, Calotabs,
will be vastly increased. One tablet
on the tongue at bedtime, with a
swallow of water, that's all,-no taste
or unpleasantness of any kind \
good nights sleep and you wake next
morning feeling fine, with a clean
liver and hearty appetite. Fat
what you please,-no danger.
Beware of limitations! Genuine
Calotabs are sold only in Checker
board" (black and white) packages
bearing the copyrighted trade mark
"Calotabs." The large, family size
sells for thirty-fve cents; vest pocket
size, ten cents. All dealers are au-
thorized to refund the price if you
are not delighted with Calotabs.-
