RUSSIAN UNITS
 REFUSE TO FIGHT l. AS FOE ATTACKS
Extremist Regiments ir North Galicia Quit
 Line Breaks.

London, July 21.-Three times with ing three days Russian regiments have refused to fight at critical mo- ments in Gen. Korniloffas drive for Lemberg.
 This was officially admitted yester-- day by the PetTograd War Office. It Is the Russian explanation of the inn portant check that Gen. Kornili6 has met with.
 Yesterday, % miles to the southwest of Brody,> the 6o7th Mlynov regiment. holding the lfne between Baikov and Manajov, voluntarily left its trenches before a Teuton advance
 To the west of Haaiez, another regi- ment quit in a crucial moment, al- lowing the Austro-Germans to cap- ture the village of Bludnild.
 The loss of Novica to the Teutons on Tuesday is blamed on the same kind of an incident. That time Prince Gagerin, military commander of ths district, saw, the gravity of the situa- ton. He at once threw infantry and cavalry on either flank of the retiring force.
 The quitters were engulfedN in the brilliant attack and were swept back into the conflict. This turned the tide in favor of the Russians and the leu tons were checked.
 This disordered condition is due ir a measure, it is said, to the influence of the Eaxtrenists, who have spread their rdotous incitements to the front However that may be, the Austro Germans have taken instant advan tage of the complicated situation, hay, rallied and are now pressing Figor ously their counter-offensive. l Berlin announced yesterday tha fthree great Russian defense zones be
 tween the Zlita Lipa and the Seretl rivers have been overrun.
 Up until the afternoon, "a few thou fsand prisoners have been captured, I says the official report from Berlin. I added the Moscovites are in flight. The Russians admit the loss of frs
 line trenches in a. furious battle t 1 the cast of Brzezany and to the soutl I of Sxybalin. South of Brzezany tn
 heavy, Austro-German attacks brok
 down inf the face of f1erce artiHer fire. In the direction of Wilma, far to tn
 north, there has been an intense bom
 bardment, intermingled with infantr clashes of local character.

DRESSING FOR HEALTH: Per haps if I was to say Dressing for Comfort and Health,' I would more nearly tell you what have in mind
 To illustraSe-at o'clock thisi morning I started for Chicago from Lakeside, Michigan, where my four sons and their mother are getting rich tan on their skin and strong muscles under the skin by caring for two acres of garden and a lot of poultry. I usually arrive at a railroad station in ample time and this morn ing I had 20 minutes to spare. l had enjoyed the brisk walk and tht cold fresh southeast wind. I was very comfortable while walking and to remain so I put on my top coat.
 A few moments ater an automobile brought to the station two young ladies that had evidently spent the weekend there. Neither of them had a coat or wrap of any kind. Their dresses and general apparel indicated a comfortable financial condition but the carelessness or thoughtlessness, possibly pride had led these young women to take a trip to the country at a season of the year when sudden and violent changes in temperature
  ed only for very warm days.
 They were blue with the cold which the auto ride had made more in tense. They were about to sit on a wooden bench directly in the strong est wind and realizing their danger I suggested that they o-to the other sde of nearby building and dAremain sheltered from the wind until the train approached. They were duly grateful and promptly took the ad- vice. Of course. they have an ad- vantage over persons of more ad- vanced in years because their blood circulates more freely but as one of them was thin and undernourished she was in danger of pneumonia.
 On another occasion I saw g. nid- de aged woman and several children arrive at the station on a very hot morning. could readily see that the children were in the habit of going barefoot and without head GOV ering and in all probability wore but little clothing when at home. They were all dressed up because they were going on the train. Thick stockings. shoes, coats and overcoats, while the mother, in addition to a heavy black dress, had on long heavy coat and
  ly indeed.
 How I wanted to tell these helpless little ones to strip off the overcoat and coats and be comfortable, but knew that the mothers pride would not permit them, to do so and they had to suffer. I did not waste alss | sympathy on tht mother further thar to pity her ignorance. ilf- '."A In order ro pe comfortable and safe from the extremes of heat and | cold it is sometimes necessary tt have at hand, even though not per fectly convenient, proper changes o1 clothing and these changes should bt
 made regardless of what you ma. imagine 'they will think" because a, a matter Of fact others pay no atten | tion to the dress of the person tha. is reasonable further than to some
 times envy your good fortune or 'goot sense.

 |N I am going to let you read one of the letters received this morning. Perhaps it will put new hope and ambition into your life as it has put new pleasure into mine. The only comment I need make is ''try it and see for yourself"
 Dear Doctor: For several years have been studying your work on Dynamic Magnetism. I have prac- ticed the exercises up to Chapter 33 almost daily. When I first took an interest in this work I was a frail, worn-out, nervous school teacher. This was four years ago. When va | cation came made up my mind to 1 do all in my power to get back my health, so began with daily practice and kept it up throughout the sum- mer. When falE came I entered the school room well and strong. I kept 1 up my daily practice of the exercises given in your course and as the months went on instead of wearing | out and becoming nervous, l seemed l to be gaining new power and new l vigorl and when school closed l was | as fresh as when school opened In the l fall Besides my schoolwork, each
 year since, have been able to carry
 on courses for my own benefit. some
 times I have to wonder with what l ease I am able to accomplish so
 much.
 More joy, love and real happiness have come into my life since I began fthis study than can tell. have tried to solve the mystery and this IS my solution. Ths study and practice has given me a healthy body. My nerves and all of the parts of the
 body are in harmony with each other T have studied my own self and tried
 ito put my mind and soul in harmony
 with God and man. and by so doing
 have strengthened my will to do
 loved more and have done more Tor
 myself and for those about me thar
 did before. All have had a share in spelling the word success" Dc

Colonel Posey remained Indefinitely
In Louisiana, and David was still In
charge of the shop. Late the next aft.
ernoon he closed and bolted the small
emporium and started down the street
toward the tavern for an early supper.
As he passed musingly along beneath
the new-green elms and neared the
courthouse, the words he had over.
heard the night before from the lips
Of Cranmer's comrade came sharply
back. 1.-THE courthouse to.
morrow night. ;"
The fascination Of the little court.
house plucked David as with an out.
stretched hand. In q moment he found
himself before 1t. Through the half.
open doorg David caught a glimpse OF
the shadowy and empty place Of jus.
tice; and with sudden determination
he entered the silent and empty cham.
Der. He would conceal himself within
1t and learn why Job Cranmer was
meeting strange men secretly after
nightfall.
