are going to give you IA wonderful
discovery that helps digest the food

strengthen the nerves and put the
digestive tract in such shape that
every ounce of flesh making food
may give it's full amount of nour-
ishment to the blood instead of
passing through the system undi-
gested and unassImilated. Users
tell Of how this treatment has made
indigestion and other stomach trou-
BILE quickly disappear while old
dyspeptics and many sufferers from
weak nerves and lack OF vitality
declare In effect ii has made them
feel like a two year old. This new
treatment, which has proved such
boon to thin people is called SAR-

Dear Miss Grey: Will you
please tell me when, how,
and in what country gypsies
first originated?
A READER.
A.-The word "gypsies" is from
the Egyptians. Organized gypsy
bands first appeared In Europe at
the beginning of the 18th century.
Five years later they made their
first appearance i'm Paris, saying
they were Christians from Lower
Egypt, driven to take refuge In
Europe from the Saracens, and
had recently left Bohemia. They
professed to be doing q penance
imposed on them by Pope Martin
v, who, after hearing their con-
fessions of sins committed during
their travels, had ordered them to
wander over the earth for seven
years without taking rest on beds.
