The gardens look very much be-
draggIed these days and most Of the
LEAVES have gone entirely. Heaps and
heaps OF dead, dull brown ones lie in
wet piles here and there or are swept
In dry quantities for the day when the
weather is dry enough again to burn
them slowly and with much damp,
woodsy oder. In regretting the influ-
enza situation, which they say We
must call the German Plague" and
there are always some to be overcome
BY the gloom of an epidemic, it must
not be forgotten that this time OF the
year especially serves the ''flu" or any
cold germ best. With the days still
too warm for heavy clothing, there are
many who take severe colds which no
doubt developes into other serious
sick troubles.

from YOU, you will find your dog tied

mighty leap, broke the small rope
which tied her and came jumping and
rolling and barking to her young mis-
tress.
Now. whenever Peggy goes adven'
turing. some one is sure to take a
friendly interest in her jaunts and
wherever her small face is seen. with
a wide grin from ear to ear and a soft
pant making her presence known,
somebody says: "Why, here gees
Peggy I wonder If her folks know
she is cut!" A little later telephone
message is sure to be received at head
quarters and Peggy comes promptly
home very often under adequate pro-
lection.

Of long fur which has grown especial

tail waves back and forth which like
a palm leaf fan and her beautiful

War Prisoners Go Thru City

Two Coaches of Germans, Interned for War, En
 
 Route to Texas Farms.

In Germany they transport Ameri- cans in cattle cars from which the filth has not been removed,---in small cattle cars into which the men are packed so close they cannot sit down. The Huns do not give their. prisoners food nor water most of the time, ac- cording to statements by American and other victims, and are not per- mitted to leave the cars from the time they are started on four to ix day journey until destination is reached
 In America we do it differently. Pine Bluffians had opportunity yes terday to see just how Unt'e Sam is to the alien enemies interned here for the duration of tha war. Two Pull mans carrying Germans from an in- torment camp to farms in Texas passed thru the city. The Germans were guarded. but otherwise they were as comfortable as any passenger who will pay the full three-cent and,a- half rate and the increased Pullman fare.

COURT UPnOLOS ORDER
 HEALTH BOARD
Holds That Order for Com pulsory Vaccination is
 Valid and Reasonable.

Little Rock, June 3.-That the com pulsory vaccination regulation of the state board of health is valid in that the act of the legislature confers up- on the board the power to make such a ruling, and that the ruling is neither unreasonable of in conflict with the compulsory education act passed by the legislature of 1917, was the opin- ion of the supreme court handed down Monday morning by Justice Humphreys. The opinion. reversed and remanded with directions a de- murrer granted Martin Wilson and Guy Lipe in Logan county and in af- firming the conviction of George Brazil Jr., in Little River county.
 Martin, school director in District 76, Logan county, and Lipe, teacher of the school, were indicted at Boone vile on January 8, 1918, for permit ting. pupils to attend the school with out vaccination certificates. The de- fendants demurred Ito the indictment on the fround that it did not charge an offense punishable at, law. The demurrer was sustained and the State appealed.
 In Little River county George Bra gil Jr., was indicted for sending his children to the Willoughly school without proper vaccination certifi- cates. He demurred to the indictment, but the demurrer was overruled and upon trial he was convicted and fin ed $1O
 In summing up the arguments Jus tice Humphreys said that in both cases it was contended that the rule of the State Board of Health was in- valid because the board was not au- thorized by Act 96, acts of 1913 to adopt such a rule; because if the board had been so authorized the statute would have been unconstitu- tional as delegration of legislative authority; because the rule was un- reasonable and unnecessary and be- cause it was in conflict with the Com pulsory Education Act of 1915. In denying these contentious Jus tice' Humphreys held that the lan- guage of the act conferring discret-, ionary powers upon the state board of health unquestionably includes smallpox among infections and conta- gious diseases, and that the legisla- ture may delegate it's power to deter mine some fact or state of things up- on which the law makes or intends to make it's own action depend. Courts will not, therefore, interfer with any rule of the state board, unless such rule is plainly arbitrary and unrea- sonable, the decision said.
 Justice Humphreys took accession l to remark that vaccination was no longer a theory, but an established scientific fact, and that at the. time when thousands of soldiers were com ing to and leaving the State it was necessary to protect the public health.
 By reading the compulsory educa- ticn act and the rule of the state board of health, together, Justice Humphreys declared that the net re- suit is to enforce vaccination by pen alty and that the legislature evidently did not intend to repeal the rule by passing the compulsory education act.
