MILLIONS SEEING THIS CIRCUS
THE COMBINED HAeENsEcK AMI
NAL SHOW AND WALLACE
CIRCUS POPULAR.

OF all the auxiliary attractions at
any Of the several worlds fairs. the
first place in Importance has always
been accorded to the Carl Hagenbeck
Trained Animal Shows. 1t is estimat.
ed that more than two million people
visited This show during the fairs of
Chicsgo and st. Louis and these two
million people have never forgotten
the unusual and rsnst remarkable acts
performed by brute actors and are
constantly urging their friends to see
the Hagenbeck Trained Animals at
their first opportunity.
Not every one could go to the great
worlds fairs, but since the Hagenbeck
Animal Show has combined with the
Great Wallace Shows the tour has
been such that hundreds of thousands
Of people who were unable to go to
the fairs have been able to see the
educated wild beasts perform. This
season the combined HagenbecE
Wallace Shows will visit t%o-thirds o
the States of this country and larg,
crowds of people who have waite,
many years for this chance will hav,
an opportunity to see the mos famou
animal tanners and tplsers and the
best educated animals IN the world.

The nature Of sOme amusement!
makes 1t impossible to tell whether o
not there has been a combination

ter to verify the truth Of the claim,
for every one knows OF the hitherto
unexcelled performances Of the three
ring Wallace Shows and also Of the
famous animal acts given by the Ha
genbeck people in an iron ring. Since
the shows have been combined, the
performance of each is given complete
and without interfering with the 9th

that in this advertised combination the
facts warrant the claim.

New Veterinary Law.
A Member.

Commenting upon the law passed
by the last assembly requiring that
veterinaries be proficient in their
class of work, DR.. Geo. H. Glover,
connected with the Agricultural col
lege says:
The last legislature enacted a law
which is going to make trouble for
shall l say undesirable citizens
no, not that. but for a class of men
who are in many instances not citi
zens at all; neither are they in de
sirable business for the public good.
These men. who are the worst class
OF pretenders, travel from one state
to another and, by means of hand
bills and much hot air, proclaim their
curealls.
The new law will stop this bust
ness, and more than that, makes it
a penalty for any man to practice
veterinary art in any form unless he
proves to the State Board of Veter.
mary Examiners, that he is either a
regular graduate. or has practiced in
the State of Colorado for five years
exclusively as means Of livelihood.
The public everywhere is demand
ing square deal. The misbranding
of goods will not be tolerated longer,
either in man or tomatoes. Prepare.
tion as an assurance of efficiency is
asked for on every hand. The days
of the "hoss doctor" are numbered.
