There are great many people who
would be very much benefited by TAX
ing Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. NJ. R. Scarf, Baldwins-
vile, N. Y, relates her experience in
the use Of these tablets: 81 had a
bad spell with my stomach about six
months ago nd was troubled for two
or three weeks with gas and severe

not relieve pain, but after the pain has
been relieved may prevent its recur-

For Red Cross War Ambulance

theater, said the pictures proved to be
the greatest film attraction New York
has ever had.
In Omaha popular prices will pre-
vail, the hotel men counting upon the
desire of the public for war front in
formation and the duration Of the
exhibition to raise the amount OF
money required.
The hotel men, under the direction
of President John Letton OF the Hotel
Fontenelle, have been considering the
project for the last six weeks, and
signed the contracts for the picture
yesterday.
The committee OF hotel men in
charge consists OF John Letton, Rome

Harry Brown, Harley Conant, P. w.
Mikesell, Ralph Kitchen, l. A. Mcdlar

Committee Asks for
Quiet Independence Day

Washington, June PA plea that
independence day be observed this
year with a solemnity rejecting the
sober determination "of a democracy
at war for its ideals and its existence"
was made in a statement issued to-
night by the public information COM
mittee.
Noise and useless illumination and
unthinking celebrations have no
proper place in times such as these
says the statement. Let there be a
return to those ceremonies and ad-
dresses which prevailed in other days.
Every organization should cooperate
to make It such a celebration as will
carry to every home and every ele-
ment among our people the gravity
of issues that strike to the very root
of the nation born 14l years ago and
dedicated to freedom"

Though Omaha hotel men gave
generously to the Red Cross fund
campaign, they do not believe they
have given enough, so the Omaha
Hotel Mems association announces
that it proposes to raise enough
money to purchase an Omaha Red
Cross ambulance and provide sufi-
cient funds for its upkeep. This will
require about $4,000 and their drive
to get it is already started. To get it,
the hotel men have contracted for the
famous official British war pictures
OF the battle OF the Ancre, which will
be shown at the Brandeis theater the
week commencing July 10.
Expenses OF promoting and pre-
senting the pictures will be borne by
the hotel men and every penny taken
in at the box Office will 60 to the
Omaha chapter OF the Red Cross.
The pictures, filmed by Pathe while
the battle at Ancre ragged, were paid
for by w. X. Vanderbilt and mil
lionaire associates, and the authen-
ITCHY is vouched for by the allied
forces. Trench fighting, bombing,
aeroplane duels, and. last but not
least, the deadly juggernaut Of mod
ern warfare, "the tank" are shown in
the five reels offered. 1t is said to be
the first war movie Of its kind ever
seen in America, and shows details of
war that can be disclosed in no other
way.
May Il the pictures were shown in
Carnegie hall, New York. The boxes
we're auctioned off to the highest bid
lers. the highest price paid being
81 900. The entire house was sold out
1t prices OF above 81. The gross re-
,eipts were over $4,000 for one night.
Later they were shown at the Strand
heater, New York, and the average
attendance was 10000 daily, with

ormance. Mr.. Edel, manager OF the

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Improved Conditions In Freight Room for
Foreign Shipmenth Sends Wheat In

Foreign Shipments Sends Wheat Up,
Chicago, June 23.-Improved conditions as
to the amount of vessel room available for
shipments to Europe helped lift wheat prices
today. The market closed firm. Sc to &c
net higher. with July at $214 and Septem-
Der at 1887 Corn finished Nc off to sc
up, oats down Nc to No and provisions
ranging from 10c decline to a rise OF zoe.
1t took but little buying to bring about
advances In the wheat market. The fact
that offerings from the new crop were for
the most part somewhat above the current
level Of prices gave an advantage to the
bulls, II was said also, that Canadian hold
ers were firm. In addition to reports of
an easier outlook for a sufficiency of ocean
tonnage, the chief encouragement to pur-
chase came from official predictions Of an
Unexpectedly small crop In Kansas. A lead
ing expert here, however, who has just re-
turned from a tour of that state, expressed
ridicue for the Kansas report, both as to
acreage and yield.
Weekend realizing or profits for holdera
wiped out nearly all of an advance which
the corn market scored as a result of un-
favorable weather. Export demand was
good and offerings to arrive from the coun-
try were light. Oats paralleled the action
Of corn. Excellent crop reports proved
rather more than an offset for signs Of an
active call from the seaboard.
Increased cash demand lifted pork above
even yesterdays new high price record.
Lard and ribs, however, were inclined to
sag. owing to lower quotations on hogs.

RED CROSS NEEDS
TWENTY MILLIONS
Every Effort Will Be Made in
Next Two Days to Reach
Objective Sum Of
Drive.

Washington, June 24.-Twenty mil
lion dollars must be collected by
Monday night by the Red Cross
volunteer campaigners in American
cities and towns to make the weeks
canvass for a $l0O,0OO,0OO fund an en-
tire success. Despite the spectacular
spurts of number of cities, total new
pledges reported to national head
quarters today were only $3,000,000,
making the aggregate collections for
six days about $80000,000.
Campaign managers directed local
workers to make strenuous efforts in
the next two days to ferret out indi.
viduals or corporations who have not
contributed and to impress upon them
the importance in Americas war
scheme Of the success of the Red
Cross fund.
The need OF every humanity dollar
that can be collected was emphasized
today by Lord Northcliffe, British war
commissioner, now in the United
States, in a letter to Henry B. F. Nc
Farland, chairman of the District of
Columbia Red Cross fnanSe commit
tee.
Work Will Continue.
Word reached here tonight thai
committees in number of cities will
refuse to quit work Monday night
when the camapign formally closes.
This prolongation of the canvass will
be sought in two classes of COM
minities-those like Cleveland, on fire
with enthusiasm and piling up over
subscriptions, and cities where for va
rious local reasons the campaign did
not start until late this week. Atlanta,
suffering from the recent disastrous
fire, is one of the cities of the latter
class.
Tomorrow is Red Cross day in
thousands of Sunday schools and
churches. Campaign directors expect
the harvest from rural districts, where
intense solicitation has not been done
this week, to be large in church re-
ports.
In a statement tonight on the desig-
nation OF Monday as "Pershing day"
Secretary Baker said:
1T is eminently fitting that the
final day of the Red Cross week-a
week devoted to collecting $l00,000,-
900 for the purposes of humanity
should be called 'Pershing day l am
sure that the leader first to carry the
banner of our citizen soldiery to the
western front will appreciate the
honor and that his name, on the other
hand, will act as an inspiration which
will urge patriotic Americans to more
than complete the sum required by
the Red Cross before the close OF
Pershing day."

to date as announced tonight by the
