The Real
Value

If you have headache or neu-
ralgia you want relief; want it
quick. DR.. Miles Anti-Pain
Pills stop the pain in Just few
minutes. But their real value
lies in the fact that they leave
no bad after effects. They do
not create nausea or derange
The stomach. Nothing can
therefore take the place of Anti
Pain Pills for the relief of head
ache or other pain.
DR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do all that
Is claimed for them IN curing headache

veterinary Law UnconstitutIonaI.

FLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Feb. 5.-(Special)
In chambers court today District Judge
H. d. Travis handed down his decision in
the case OF the State of Nebraska against
DR.. A. p. Barnes of this city. in which he
was given a trial on the charge OF being
engaged in the practice OF veterinary sur
gerry, veterinary medicine and veterinary
dentistry without first having obtained a
certificate or license from the State Board
Of Examiners Of the State Board of Veter-
mary Medicine authorizing him to prac-
tice in this state, and unlawfully assuming
and using the title OF veterinary Sur
geon, which title so assumed and used by
him is analogous to the title "Veterina-
rian," contrary to the statute.
In his answer DR.. Barnes alleged that
chapter 81 of the Session Laws of 1905 was
null and void. and that the act was uncon-
stitutional, because it was class legisla-
ton, in that it created two classes of vet
erinarian practitioners, and that it deprived
him of his vested rights without due
process of law.
The court reviewed the evidence and cita-
tions at length and closed by deciding that
the veterinary law was unconstitutional
and DR.. Barnes was released. This is to be
made a test case and will be taken to the
supreme court.

ment that kicks up worse than trick

and remember that not so very long
ago one clown went an awful long way
toward making a circus.
Back in the old days one clown was
considered enough, and he made as
much noise as the band, was as heav-
lily featured as the ring celebrities and
more popular with the children than
the red lemonade man or the peanut
boy. He was allowed to ramble about
at will, stop any act he chose, and
have his own sweet way as long as he
made merry.
But so clowns run along the same
lines would put even the biggest show
overland that's Barnum & Bailey's--

turned loose on the hippodrome track
and left to do pretty much as they
please as long as they don't stop any
of the acts. And all their work is in
pantomime now.
