RUMANIA GIVES
GYPSIES FREEDOM
100000 Nomads Will Be AS
simulated by Nation.

Jassy, Rumania.-Three hundred
thousand Rumanian gypsies will be
assimilated by Rumania and become
an integral part of the Rumanian
race
This is one of the great social re-
forms inaugurated by DR.. julius

premier Unlike the gypsies of Hun.
gary, Czechoslovakia and Yugo-Slavia
who have been granted citizenship in
these countries, the gypsies of Ru-
mania are still regarded virtually as
slaves.
Up to 1916 gypsy slave markets ex-
listed in Rumania. The price of a
family of gypsies sold as slaves was
about $50. When the United States
was struggling with the slave prob
lem during the Civil war Rumania
decided to abolish gypsy slavery alto
gether, so that today gypsies are free
to live their own unfettered, nomadic
and primitive lives, where and how
they will.
Rumanias large gypsy population
is scattered all over the country.
Large settlements of them are to be
found in Moldavia, Walachia and
Pennsylvania. Like their brother
gypsies in the United States, they ply
their trade as thinkers, blacksmiths.
musicians, dancers, soothsayers and
horse dealers. Those who cannot
find regular employment live by theft
and mendicancy.
Unlike the gypsies of Czechoslo-
vakia or Hungary, who seem to be a
superior caste, the Rumanian gypsies
live in great squalor and want.
Although they allow themselves to
be baptized in the Christian faith,
they really pursue no religion. Their
old women practice fortune-telling and
are famous fer their magic and sleight
of hand.

Help Kidneys
By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irri.
tating Aeidss

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says noted au-
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and infame, causing burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck Of the blad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the. night. The
sufferer is in constant dread; the wa
ter passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
often one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Begin drinking lots of
soft water, also get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast. Con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will help neutralize the acids in the
system so they no longer are source
of irritation to the bladder and uri-
nary organs, which then act normal
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands Of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused
by acid irritation. Jad Salts causes
no bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
