Chamberlain's Tablets highly bene-

Shoes and Clothes
for Children Asked
by Omaha Mission

A call has gone out from the Ona-
ha City mission for clothes and
shoes for the poor children of Oma-
ha. With school opening Monday,
thousands of poor children are in
need of clothing and shoes, accord
ing to Miss Mary E. Anthony, su-
perintendcnt of the mission.
The need was never so great as
now" declared Miss Anthony. 1--WE
are about out of old clothing for
children whose parents cannot af-
ford to provide suitable garments
for them to wear to start to school,
In other years the situation has not
been SO bad, but this year, with the
high cost of living worrying even
the families in better circumstances,
the poor people are desperate.
1--WE would like to have kind
hearted Omahans bring any old
clothes or shoes they can spare to
us today. We have no way to call
for old clothes unless it is absolutely
necessary. Now is the chance for
Omahans to do a good turn when
the poor children need their help
the most"
