Omaha Lawyers Say
Federal Opium Act
Unconstitutional

Federal authorities In Omaha have re-
ceived word from Washington that the
United States supreme court would de-
eide shortly the constitutionallty Of the
federal opium act which prohibits the
importation into United States of opium
that can be used for smoking purposes
The fate of a number Of men convicted
in Omaha for violating this act either
in smuggling opium or having II in their
possession now awaits the ruling of the
highest tribunal in the land.
The case Is before the supreme court
on the appeal Of fourteen customs guards,
convicted sometime ago as members of
an alleged opium smuggling ring.
II IL understood hero that the United
States supreme court has put the opium
cases ahead two years on the court calen-
der. assuring a ruling soon.
Lacally 1t is contended by a number of
attorneys. who defended convicted men
that the federal statute as 1t now stands,
is an invasion of the police rights Of the
states and Is otherwise unconstitutional.
They attack the validity of the provis-
ions OF the law. which fix the mere pos
session of contraband opium as evidence
Of illegal eonnivance IN smuggling oper-
ations.

MODERN MIRACLES. DAILY PERFORMED.
By New Energized Earth Product-Demonstrations in Large Cities of
 Country

Demonstrations and displays of Vitali- tas, the wonderful new earth fluid, are being conducted in many large cities. No product of nature has ever sprung into such tremendous popularity in so brief a time. The laboratories at Hous- ton, Tex, the only place in the world where Vitalitas is extracted, are being rushed to meet the demand. Inquiries from everywhere pour in regarding it. They come from people who have despaired of earthly help, but who still cling to faint hope that nature may have produced something that will bring relief. They wonder if Vitalitas is that something.
 It is performing real modern day miracles for the sick. It is banishing dis ease conditions where every other known remedy has failed. 1t Is giving back life to many on the brink of the grave. It is demonstrating that nature is the best doctor of all. No man or woman should despair if they have not tried this mar velous new earth fluid.
 Vitalitas is antagonistic to disease con- ditions. It attacks weakened, impotent or diseased tissues throughout the body. It installs a new flow of vital force that sweeps away stomach troubles ail- ments of liver, kidneys, bowels and blood. No matter if chronic or of how long standing, yitalitas will be found effec- tive It has no harmful ingredient and the most delicate invalid or child may take it.
 See the display and sample Vitalitas to- day at Averyt's drug store, 109-11 Twen- tieth street, write there for informa- tion.
