GYPSIES OFF Err
son" TRUCE

The gypsies have come to
William juice Osborne,
morganatic husband Of Prin-
cess Julia, of the Mitchell
reigning tribe Of gypsies, who
have been in the local courts
many times recently, with an
olive branch in their hands.
They have offered to make Juice"
a prince If he will forget the past
and come to live with them. King
Emil has offered to accept his SON
in-law into the tribe, Osborn said
today, with three prOvisos.
Three PrOvisOs
They are:
i. That he will permit his wife to
wear the native gypsy costume.
q. That he will take and obey
orders from king" Emil himself.
3. That he will abide by all OF the
rules and customs of Roniany.
The offer Is taken by Juice" as
an admission OF defeat from the
gypsies. They have tried every con-
ceivable means. from alleged lkidnap-.
ing to court procedure. to separate
Julia from her American husband.
But the princess has steadfastly
stood by her husband and continued
to wear American clothing.
BrOther.in-LaW Envoy
According to Osborne. Julia's
brother. Willie MITCHELL was the
minister plenipotentiary and am
bassador extraordinary" in convey
ing King" Emil's offer OF "anl-
nesty." A right sizable piece OF
bait was offered Osborne and his
bride to return to Gypsyland.
Willie told me of deal in Florida
real estate he made a few years
ago." said Osborne, which will put
us all on easy street. He claims to
have purchased 10 acres of land near
Miami for 5000 about 20 years ago
and to have sold it during the recent
Florida land boom for $4,000. He
also sold a city block in Chicago to
a Chicago man.
HE showed the deeds and every
thing and said he had just refused
100000 for it. IL Julia and / will
submit to the Kings edict and
come and live with them they will
support us in idleness the rest of
our lives" Willie averred.
No Temptation
But the only fly in the Gypsy ONT
ment is that neither Juice" nor his
bride are in the least interested in
the "offer" to affiliate with gypsy
tribes Even the title of prince"
has no attractions for him, Osborne
said.

DAIRYING MAKES FOR
PROSPEROUS COUNTRY

That dairying is a paying PROPOSE
ton, and makes for a prosperous
community wherever it is carried on
to any extent, was pointed out in a
recent issue of the Bloomer Advance
published at Bloomer, Wis, in pre-
senting the annual report of the Chip
pewa County Dairy company. A CODY
of the Boomer Advance was presented
to the American by Mr.. and Mrs. ].
M. Johnson of Willow River, former
residents of that place.
In part, the article says:
"The Chippewa County Dairy COM
pany, operators of the Bloomer cream
cry. is a growing concern as the fol-
lowing figures will indicate. For the
year ending May 1, 1926, the gross
sales of the company totaled $780,
9S2.63, for the year ending May 1,
1927, $614,S9O.62 and for the year end
ing May 1, 1928, $1,070,753.29. Dur
ing the year ending May 1, 1928, the
company handled total of 1854
OBJ pounds of milk, or 1,639,521.3
pounds butterfat for which they paid
the farmers $97S,5O3.14. The average
price for the year was $2.4676 per 100
pounds.
MANY people do not realize the i'm
portance of Bloomer as a dairy center.
In addition to the sale of $1,O7O,753.29
of dairy products by the creamery,
the condensary disposed of dairy prod
ucts aggregating fully 60 per cent
more than this amount, making in
all, total of some 100000 as the
value of our dairy products for a sin
gle year. With two such institutions
in our midst to handle the product of
the community and with several small
Ter creameries adjacent to Bloomer,
we have indeed wonderful market.
"The fine, modern, sanitary barns
with every modern convenience for
sanitation, the milk houses, spotlessly
clean and equipped with cooling
equipment and everything necessary
for keeping the milk sweet, the fine
herds of clean, well cared for cattle,
the large silos and the rich pastures
of most of our farmers, meet every
requirement of the dairy industry.
This fact alone has helped make the
Bloomer market what it is today.
Clean, properly cooled milk, carefully
handled, has made reputation for
the local market that commands the
highest price. The credit of our
splendid market is due, not alone to
the handsome plants in town where it
is marketed, but to the cooperation
between the farmers and these plants
to put a high grade product on the
market"

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF
GOITER
(By H. E. Levin, M. d.
ASkOy. MINI.

The many readers of the AskoN
American no doubt read my articl,
on goiter which was published las
fall. l discussed the daily use o
iodized salt as a preventive of goiter
Mark we'll the point preventive.
This was a precaution so as not tt
cause you to think that the use o
iodized salt will cure well estab
lished case of goiter.
But l want to emphasize now, as
did then, that the persistent use o.
iodized salt will prevent goiter. Many
of the readers of the article on goitel
no doubt have adopted the habit Of
using iodized salt in their home
Many more should do so.
In connection with the treatment Of
goiter it is interesting to know that
the American Medical association
just met in Minneapolis. This so.
ciety is the supreme court" of med.
icine. Some of the country's foremost
physicians and surgeons were in at.
tendance.
1t will interest you to know that
the use of iodized salt in goiter was
passed upon at the session on pharm.
acology by DR.. Plummer of Rochester
Mimi, and DR.. Kimball of Cleveland
Ohio. DR.. Kimball of Cleveland
says in part as follows:
In 1924 a survey of school children
in his city disclosed 41.6 per cent had
;for A nhanlr tho co ohi1Irop
four years later, brought out the
astounding fact that only eight pei
cent had goiter. Does this mean any
thing to you? There, children used
iodized salt in their foods; in fact
wherever salt was used in the prep
aration of food the fodized salt was
persistently used for four years.
AS we are living in a goiterous
region where there is lack of iodine
in the water we use, and as it has
definitely been established that iodized
salt constantly used, makes up this
deficiency, let more people adopt it
and keep it up. Evidently DR.. Kim
ball has made it more positive, and
claims cures from the use of iodized
salt. I only hoped to get we'll people
in the habit of substituting iodized
salt for common salt, to prevent goi-
ter, to supply the normal amount OF
iodine daily which you don't get in
this section of the state from the
water used.
We ought to, in justice to our chill
80 20
day to use iodized salt, and one can
even hope to accomplish a cure in
incipient cases as Drs. Plummer and
Kimball plainly state.
This is my second article on goiter
running in the Askov American.
Neither the publisher nor the writer
gets any remuneration for the ar
ticle. Our motive is purely that of
doing a public health service.
