HOT WE tTHER RULES.

This hot weather is a little disa- greeahle these days, but if those sui fering from the heat follow the rules as laid down by a local physician. they will not suffer any i'll effects from the suns rays. Here are some of the rules:
 Sit under the old apple tree fol three hours each day, but refrain from eating the green apples.
 Drink plenty of ice water, unles, some of your friends insist on buy Ing something stronger.
 Take your wife car riding eac) evening. If she is away, take an ether man s wife, but be sure rha the other man is not wise.
 Never look at the thermomete. Keep your mind on ice as much a possible.
 Don't wear any heavy clothing but stay in doors when you take thel off.

company agrees to keep a record of Ill applicants for water service, and
 taintd, the money paid the company
 by patrons will be refunded.
 1 The injunction was applied for 1 by Attorneys Bridges, Woodbridge & Can't in the county court, Judge
 James Gould acting on the petition in the absence of Judges J. M FL liott and A. E. Grace from the city
 In securing temporary injunction the water company declares that it's purpose is by an orderly proceeding in the court to obtain judicial de termination of it's rights under the constitution of the United States; that | 1t believes it's just rights are imper- fled and encroached upon by the at tempt and threat of the enforcement of the ordinance; that the law is con- trary to the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the Unied States and to the laws and to the rights Of the plaintiff.
 The main object is to obtain in- dicial decree establishing and pro- tecting the rights of the plaintiff company to that end
 Prosecutions in the city police court, the water company pleads, would be injurious to the company and would result in great expense and the totaling of large number of fines and penalties in that court.
 The ordinance enjoined was passed by the city council January 21, 1909. It is an ordinance entitled: An or dinance to compel the Pine Bluff Corporation to extend it's service pipes from the mains to the curb line of the streets and to repair leak ing service pipes when such leaks occur between it's main pipes and curb line of such street at it's own expense and upon proper notice, and for other purposes. 4 fine of $50 and a penalty for each succeeding day, is provided for in the ordinance for failure to comply with same.
 The water company attorneys con tend that under the contract with the city the water company is not re- quired to extend service pipes or re- pair same. They also contend that the city council has no authority to pass such an ordinance and that their action is therefore null and void, as we'll as the ordinance the city seeks to enforce

The city council should not ovei'- look the matter of providing street signs and street lights as well throughout the city. and especially in the suburbs The new federal or postoffice building is soon to be opened and correct and prompt de- livereies of mail depend largely up- on the accuracy of the street signs and house numbers. It is believed that all of the houses in the city have been perfectly numbered, but it is' :,
 well-known fact that strangers, not mentioning the mail carriers, can not find their way in the city, owing to the abence of guiding signs The council should make an appropria- tion for the best signs obtainable, and the city engineer should personally have them placed at street corners.

AERIAL FLEETS ON COASTS.
st. Louis Globe-Democt.rat.

Congress will be asked. in the regular
5session next winter. to make an appro-
pration for the establishments q fleet
of war balloons for the Atlantic coast,
to be used for purposes of defense.
Balloon houses about $50 miles apart
are to be built along the coast, and the
balloons which are stationed at each
of these posts Will traverse the coast
125 miles north and the same distance
south OF these points. Thus the whole
sea line from Maine to Florida will be
patrolled. Each balloon will be able
to communicate readily by wireless
with its post, and n filotilla of aero
planes will act as couriers between the
various stations. obviously under this
plan 1t would be impossible for any
hostile fleet to get within a dozen miles
of the coast without being seen, and It's
number and movements communicated
to the various stations and ports In
this way the work OF defense would be
made easier. BY railway along tho
coast, it will be practicable to concen-
trate forces at any threatened point
promptly. All of this machinery OF
defense is based upon the certainty that
the air currents along the coast will be
mapped out beforehand, SO that the
movement Of the balloons can be de-
teririned with a. fair degree of accuracy.
1t is pretty well known that the air
currents are reasonably well defined,
and 1t will be the business of the sig
nal corps Immediately to map out
these currents, and to be prepared to.
submit IT'S Investigations In the bill
which will be presented to Congress

All this may be perfectly true, ana
yet it appears to us that Congress is

The expenditures OF the government
are lavish enough to cover all actual

Il The death of President Penlla OF Bra
I'll and the peaceful and orderly sue
scsssion of the vice president bears evil
tdence of a new era in South America.
"a. few years ago the death Of the exec
lutlve in any of the South American
countries would have been the signal
for an armed conflict for control. Bra
I'll was among the most turbulent Of
the southern nations and even under
the empire was constantly disturbed by
rebellions and petty internal wars The
influence of the United States has done
much to produce the new order, but the
people of those countries deserve much
credit for aband oning their bad habits.
Venezuela, Peru Ecuador and Co
glombia are still occasionally turbulent
and a survey OF the progress OF their
neighbors under orderly conditions
should be an incentive to strive harder
to follow the example. Brazil Argen-
tina and Chilli, particularly, have adj
vanced maryelonsly under the new
regime and are rapidly taking their
places with the important nations OF
the world. Their natural resources
are no greater than their nelghbors.
and In the case OF Chill not SO great,
yet with stable governments they have
far outsripped the more unsettled
countries. The enforcement OF tho
Monroe doctrine protects them from
European aggression and they have
every opportunity for development.
The success Of some lends hope that
one day all will follow the good advice
Of the United States.
