Army Airmen to Bomb Omaha
with Pamphlets on Saturday
Saturday, when Omaha sees air
planes fighting and maneuvering as
they do in battle, Omaha will be
bombed, to carry out the warlike ef
fect. 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.
