Only the bombs win not be the kind that smash windows; they will be made up of thousands of cards, tags and heralds, advertising the Sal vation Army war work' fund drive here during the week of September 9 to 15. As a starter, 25,000 tags are being run off the presses today, for use by the airmen. Over 100,000 will be dis tributed in this spectacular manner a snowfall of literature reminding Omaha of the war work fund drive. The "bombs" will be dropped as near the center of the city as possible. How The Trouble Starts Lack of outdoor exercise, insufficient mastication of food and over eating. This results in indigestion, constipation, headache, anxiety and worry. Take Chamberlain's Tablets just before going to bed. They will relieve the constipation and improve the digestion. Then correct your habits. Eat slowly, masticate your food thoroughly. Walk rapidly three or four miles every day. URGES' everybody store" Thursday, August 29, 1918.
