PETROGRAD, Aug. 5.-Less

the Russian garrison is making its
last stand in furious battle at the
city limits of Warsaw, according
to dispatches filed to the war Office.
Falling back from Blonie, in &C
cordance with previously arranged
plans, the Slav forces retired be-
hind the outer forts at the western
borders of the city. The Germans
pressed slowly forward, taking up
positions on the Golabki-Moczylo
line, about nine miles from the
heart of the Polish capital. From
these new positions they opened a
bombardment of the forts defend

Race Against Death.

Six men on a freezing night drove and showed a handcar 106 miles over the railway in Ohio to bring antite- tanus serum that saved the life of a woman who was dying of blood poi. soning. That may not sound like feat of remarkable heroism in a day when brave men are giving their lives by thousands on the field of battle. Yet, when trained athletes run five miles across the landscape in half an hour crowds applaud and cheer and medals are distributed. Is such a feat less admirable when performed in the dead of night, with no bystanders, for the salvation of dying womani
 Moralists and commencement speak CTS looking for trouble, and feeling that they must denounce somehing, are fond of inveighing against athlet- ics as a social menace graver than militarism, threatening to bring us back to the brutalizing level of the blood-stained arena, and the hero wor- ship of the gladiator by crowds that shouted for bread and games. Base ball and football are of use if they can give young men sufficient forti- tude and strength to enter into race with death and win it.-Philadelphia Ledger

ARE YOUTHS AT SXTY-FIVE
Drinking Distilled Water Is Declared to Be Beneficial to Men of
 the Navy.

Eliminate the hazards of naval of ficer, say the life insurance companies, and he is the best risk in the world
 Why?
 Because simple means are used to prevent him from contracting diseases which cause the arteries to harden.
 The strength of the navy and ma rine corps is between 65,000 and TO- 900 men. The report of the surgeon general for 1913 tabulates one death from apoplexy and places arthritis as the least common of all maladies.
 'I urge that the rest of the world live as we do. using distilled water, and live on and on, youths at sixty five" writes Doctor Wedekind, com mander of the hospital-ship Solace, in the Medical Record last issued. We do not develop arterial degeneration, gout and rheumatism, though not sur rounded by home comforts, regular seasons, regular amusements and home life"
 In half an hour anybody can make still large enough for thirst-quench- ing purposes. A tea kettle, copper coil, piece of rubber tubing and glass preserve jar or an ordinary pitcher are the materials required.
 One thing in favor of forming the habit of drinking distilled water as recommended, is that it can never prove harmful, even if no benefit should be derived in certain cases.

WOUNDS YIELD TO SURGERY
Soldier Must Be Desperately Hurt Be- fore He Is Injured Beyond
 Recovery.

So great has been the advance in modern science that if a wounded sol dier, no matter how bad he may be, reaches a hospital, his chances of re- covery are greatly increased. Dur ing the present war wounds have been healed and cures effected in cases which seemed hopeless, says the Dun- dee Advertiser. In one case a man was shot in the face, the bullet pass ing through his cheek and out be- bind the ear, and temporarily upset ling the nerve centers and inficting very dangerous wound. Another case was that of a soldier who was caught by flying bullet while yawn- ing The Missile entered his mouth and passed through his jaw. Despite the serious character of both cases, the surgeon in the base hospital got to work, and in very short time both men were again in the firing line
 There is a case on record of sol dier who was injured by a bullet which passed through his right eye and lodged in the base of the brain. That the man survived at all was re- markable, but that he should have been kept alive for about two months was almost miraculous. As a matter of fact, the surgeons were beginning to pride themselves on their success ful treatment. when the man suddenly dropped dead. In the early days of the war soldier was wounded by German bayonet, the point of which snapped off in his brain. The sur geons cut away the shattered bone, extracted the piece of the bayonet, and removed the damaged portion of the brain. and in a short time Tommy was as good as ever.

WONDERFUL HOW RESIN0L
 STOPS ITCHING AT ONCE

To those who have endured for years the itching torments of eczema or other such skin-eruption, the relief that the first use of resinol ointment and res mol soap gives is perfectly incredible. After all the suffering they have endured and all the useless treatments they spent good money for they can. not believe anything so simple, mild and inexpensive can stop the itching and burning INSTANTLY And they find it still more wonderful that the improvement is permanent and that resinol really drives away the erup- tion completely in 8 very short time. Perhaps there is a pleasant surprise like this in store for you. Resinol oint- ment and resinol soap are sold by all druggists.-Adv.

Batesyille.-
 On the ground that the Board of Trustees of the l. o. o. F. Widows and Orphans Home at Batesville is ii- legal, new board was appointed and organized. Proceedings will begin i'm mediately to oust the present board, according to Grand Master c. w. High fill of Paragould. The new board is composed Of six Odd Fellows and three members of the Rebekahs, the women's auxiliary to the lodge. The grand master and grand secretary are ex-officio members.
 Notices were sent to the members of the board now in control, of the action of the grand master in appoint ing the new board and asking the res ignation of the members of the old board Unless they resign, custer pro- eeedings in the courts will be insti- tuted
 The action of the Sovereign Lodge in annulling the amendment to reduce the membership of the Board of Trus- tees was taken some time before the expiration of the term of MT. HighfilPs predecessor, according to Mir High fill. The former grand master, how ever. allowed the board of three mem bers to remain in control. MT. High fills action was the first definite ef- fort to place the home under the con- trol of board as provided in the con- stitution. So far the old board has refused to relinquish the control of the institution and the members have denied the charges made against them.
 H. C. Graham, secretary of the new board, when asked if court proceed ings would be instituted at once, re- piled:
 Were going to get them out if we have to go that far.
 The courts can only decide on the legality of the board, as based on our constitution and bylaws. and the mat ter has already been passed upon by our Sovereign Lodge, and the courts could hardly do other than sustain that tribunals decision.' he said

Cattle Disease in Europe.

That the dread cattle malady "the foot-and-mouth disease has gained firm foothold in the European war zone as we'll as in this country is now a demonstrated fact The Germans attempted unsuccessfully to stamp out the disease by means of the American method of wholesale slaughter
 What the continuance of this pestil. ence will mean to the warning nations, already stinted in the matter of ra- tions, may be imagined In France, Germany, Russia and Belgium, and also in Italy and Switzerland, the dis ease has gained such a foothold that 1t is economically impossible to fight it by the American method.
 It appears that the disease has been growing in virulence since it made it's first appearance. Mortality among cattle ranges from three per cent where the epidemic is mild to forty per cent where the outbreak is un- usually violent.
