BOLSHEVIKI RULE TO1TfRS BEFORE
 COSSACk MOVES
100000 Cossacks Back of Korniloff-Allies Also
 Aid Rising.

Bolsheviki control in Petrograd is being menaced more seriously as the opposition becomes solidified There is unrest in Petrograd and Moscow, the extremist stronghold, and the Cos sacks already have advanced from the Don northward
 The political leaders opposed to the extremists expect that their military forces will be able to depose the Bol- sheviki soon and that by spring they will have a formidable fighting force to meet the Germans. The whole force of 100000 Cossacks, it is said in Lon don, where direct communication has been established with General Kale- dnes, will back the counter-revolution
 Allied support is counted upon by the leaders of the counter-revolution if it is to be successful, and it is hoped an American army may be sent to Russia.
 Eetachments of Rolsheviki troops and some of General KronilOff's forces have fought an engagement near Bielgorod, in the province of Kursk, 900 miles south of Moscow, and Cos sacks arc reported to be in Kharkov and Mohilex provinces north of the Cossack region. According to Bolshe- wiki reports, the engagement near Biel' gorod was not serious and the Cos sacks were defeated.
 Threats against the Smolony Insti- tute, Bolsheviki headquarters in Pet rograd, are made by opponents of the po1chov;k; 1uho dnnoond that thn leaders be shorn of their power. In Moscow the BolsheviM are having trouble ir feeding the population and their own soldiers threaten revolt: The Bolsheviki are attempting to con- trol the constituent assembly and threaten to arrest any of their oppon- ents who try to gain control of the assembly.

CALL MEETING LEGAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
All Qualified to Aid Registrants Ask. ed to Attend Today's
 Meet.

Members of the legal advisory com mittee for Jefferson county, drafted to secure aid of attorneys and other qualified persons to aid registrants in answering the fguestionaries under the new regulations of the selective draft, have issued. a call for meet ing of those willing to aid their in their work, to take place at the court house this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
 The call follows:
 "All of the lawyers of Jefferson county and all other. persons who have been appointed associates of the legal advisory committee of this county, and all who can serve on that commit tee whetrer appointed yet or not, are requested to meet at the circuit court room this afternoon at o'clock. This committee will be called on to aid all registrants to answer the question naires properly, and it will require the services of about 75 men. As there are not that many lawyers in the county it is edsired that all persons who can serve the government in this very important work attend this meet ing.
 IN. J. GANTT, JR.,
 "CREED CALDWELL,
 "A. H. HOWELL,
 Illegal Advisory Committee"
 Little difficulty is being encounter ed in other cities in securing this aid to the registrants, and it is not be- lieved that Pine Bluff citizens will be lax in this patriotic duty. It is ex- pected that those qualified to render this aid to men liable for army service will be glad to do so, particularly be- cause this is one of the few days in which they can serve the nation at this time.
 With 75 persons assisting in the work, only about two days out of the Friday period will be required of each one.

BAD HABITS OF POSTURE.
They Lead to Deformity and Chronic
Disease it Not Corrected.

They Lead to Deformity and Chronic
Disease If Not Corrected.
The significance Of the postures habi'
tuauy assumed by individuals is the
subject Of serious consideration by
physicians at present Exhaustive In
vestigatiOns seem to indicate pretty
conclusively that bad postures, such as
STOPPING shoulders, contracted chests
or protruded abdo1nens, are not merely
the result of careless habits in the
Individual, but are due to some slight
physical defOrmity which should be
corrected. Generally speaking, persons
who have bad posture habits are not
very robust.
Every one has observed that persons
who are fatigue1 drop into bad pos
lures temporarily, and there are many
examples OF unusually robust persons
with whom bad posture is chronic.
Nevertheless, tendency to bad posture
undoubtedly adds to the trend toward
weakness and chronic disease, partlc-
ularly in individuals who are not nat
urally rugged.
The robust child or the adult who
takes an adequate amount OF recrea-
ton from work does not usually fal!
into bad habits in sitting or standing:
in fact, he is able to combat the condl-
ton of study and work which make
for bad posture. The less robust child
and the ovcrwor.el or too sedentary
adult, on the other hand, are obliged
to make persistent efforts to avoid bad
posture habits And. although these
habits may have no very detrimental
effect upon the general health during
childhood. they are likely to result IN
chronic diseases later in life as result
of the anatomical dcfOrmities pro
duced.-EXchange.
