RUSSIAN INACTIVITY MENACE. Gorman? Continuo Drive Against Tn ops Disorganized. New York, July 2G.-Such details I of the Russian retreat in Eastern Ga licia as are now coining to hand do not tend to minimize tho seriousness of the situation. Special dispatches report that the losses in heavy artil lery will be tremendous and express doubt as to the ability of the Infantry of the Russian eighth army to make good its retreat. There ls still an absence of assurances that the Rus sian commanders of the armies tak ing part in backward movements have succeeded in getting their re fractory troops lu hand. Indications are not wanting, however, that the process is well under way. There comes through Petrograd, for In stance, the report that Gen. Kornl loff's drastic measures have Included the blowing to pieces of au entire di vision of traitorous troops of the eleventh army by Its own artillery. What may prove to lae a saving feature of the situation is the firm ness of the Russian armies, both to the north and the south of the field of retreat. There bas boen no sug gestion of any yielding tendencies of the Russian forces in Volhynia, just to tho north of the affected sector, while to the south the Russian troops are not only standing fast so (far as they are able, but are co-operating with the Rumanians in a successful offensive movement on the Moldavian frontier. London is sphynxliko to-day re garding the situation along the Franco-Belgian front, lt ls declar ed in the German reports that one of the moBt violent artillery battles lu history has been in progress in Bel gium, even last night's supplemen tary Cern?an statement emphasizing the continuance of this heavy firing. VA11 that the British press bureau gives out to-day from that front, however, is the report of a success ful British raid near Armentieres, adding that there was "nothing else of special interest." Gormans Pierce French Unes. The persistence of the 'German at tacks in the Aisne region recalls in increasing measure the crown prince's Verdun offensive, except that the present drive lacks the success which attended the 1916 operation In Its earlier stages. After a brief lull the thrusts were resumed last night, a powerful attack being delivered on a front of nearly two miles near the easterly end of the Chemln-des Dames, between . Hurtebise and La Bovelle. The attacks on Hurtebise. farm it self were broken up, but further west certain elements of the French front line trenches were penetrated by the "Germans at the price of tre mendous losses. In the Champagne also there was heavy fighting, German attacks fol lowing a heavy bombardment on va rious parts of the front. Everywhere tho Germans were repelled. To-day's Russian official statement magnifies the extent of the Rumanian front successes of Tuesday and Wed nesday. The Rumanians and Rus sians together captured more than 2,000 prisoners and 57 guns. Russians in Old Positions. Petrograd, July 25.-The present line of the southwestern front is ap proximately that occupied after Gen. Brussiloff's drive last summer, ex cept before Tarnopol, where the en emy succeeded In pushing further Into Russian territory. The fate of the latter town was virtually decid ed with tho Germans holding the suburb just acioss the Sereth river, within easy gun range. Tho Germans chose the junction point of the seventh and eleventh ar mies for beginning their offensive, the first blow being struck betwoen Zboroff and Pebakl on a 20-mlle front. Without great effort, as is ad mitted In the Russian official commu nication, they pursued their advance to the line of the Sereth. This un covering of tho Russian position south of Tarnopol forced a retirement all along tho diagonal line south westward, cutting tho Strlpa and ZIota Lipa to Halles and the Lomnlcn. The Russians hnve been obliged to re tire to the right bank of tho latter river and Halie/ is seriously threat ened with a prospect of a further re tirement to the original Russian po sitions east of Stnnislnu occupied be fore Gen. Brussiloff's advance Ono of the first results has been a general agitation for tho restoration of the death penalty for Insubordina tion In tho army and for treasonable conduct on the part of agitators. Gen. Korniloff, commander of tho southwestern front, has issued orders to all subordinate commanders to open fire on desorters and troops re fusing to obey orders. Promler Ke rensky has sanctioned the effort to restore discipline. "Many Maxima lists, to whose agitation the demoral ization of tho troops Is directly at tributed, have neen arrostod. German? Capture Four Towns. Berlin, July 26.-German troops bave captured tho Qalician towns of Bucsncz, Tlumacz, Cttynla and Del atyn, says the official statement Is sued to-day by the German war office. Tho Russians also are said to be re treating in tho direction of Czerno wltz, tho capital of Bukowina. The German artillery partly closed a breach made In the line by the Rus sians south of Smorgon. , The heights west of Tamopol and the Gniezna river sector as far as tho Trembowla-Ilusiatyn ratroad were ocupied. Heavy artillery fighting on Field Marshal von Mnckensen'B front ls re ported. Geilnaus Gain on West 1 rout. Berlin, July 26.-Dominating po sitions on the Aisne front northwest of Hurteblse were captured to-day by the 'Germans, the war ofllce an nounces. French trenches on a front of 1,800 meters and 400 motors deep south of Allies were stormed, tho statement says. Violent artillery fighting continues on the northern end of the Franco-Belgian front from the coast as far as Lyz. French Admit Gemini! Gains. Paris, July 26.-German assaults were reopened last night along a front of about two miles In the Aisne front from a point east of Hurteblse to La Bovolle. The French official statement issued this afternoon says that at the cost of tremendous losses the Germans were able to penotrate Into certain elements of the French first line trenches. North of Aubeivr in the Cham pagne the French penetrated the Ger man trenches, the statement says, and inflicted heavy losses on the Ger mans. On other parts of the Cham pagne front the artillery bombard ment was Intense. Fighting lasted all night, the French repelling every attack made by tho Germans. The Germans also renewed their assaults on the French positions at Hurteblse farm, but the attack broke down under the trench fire of the .French. The reciprocal artillery fire on the left bank of the River Meuse in the Verdun region was maintainer with the usual violence. German Vessels Sunk, Two Caught. Amsterdam, July 26.-Two Ger man vessels have been sunk and two German steamers have been tak?n to | England by British destroyers, ac cording to the correspondent at Texel, one of tho Frisian islands, of the Amsterdam Telegraaf. A Ger man steamship which had been tor pedoed, the correspondent adds, has arrived at Denhelder. YES! LIFT AXX>RN OFF WITHOUT PAIN. Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry Up a Com or Callus so It Lifts Olr With Fingers. You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed- you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezono applied direct ly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, with out pain. A small bottle of freezono costs very little at any drug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and ls said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any free zone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house, lt is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.-Adv. Dimming Electric Lamps. In the olden days of kerosene it was the usual custom to turn down a lamp and allow it to burn all night. The same thing ls now possible with electric lights, and for this purpose there are three types of dimming lamps, lamp attachments and dim ming sockets In use. Tho most fa miliar typo dims through tho uso of a small independent low candlepower filament which is switched on when a pendant chain ls pulled. The second type consists of an attachment fitting into any socket and containing re sistance which is cut into circuit with the lamp, thus reducing the intrinsic brilliancy of the lamp when a cord is pulled. The third typo is practically the same only the lamp socket and the dimming devico are combined, the degree of light being regulated by a pull chain. A considerable saving In current is effected by tho use of these attachments when light of full inten sity is not needed. For Sale by C. W. PITCHFORD, Walhalla, S. C., anti all good dealers. Apartment house builders nre now considering the adoption of t new leo? less cooling devico which will keep the apartments comfortably cool In summer just as heat keeps them warm In winter. .I? -I* *I* *I" ty *I* * *I* "I* * * * * .J. THE OLD FLAG. 4. (H. C. Bunner.) Off with your hat ns the flag goes hy! And let the heart have its say; You're man enough for a tear In your eye That you will not wipe away. You're man enough for thrill that goes To your very finger tips; Ay! the lump Just then in your throat that rose Spoke more than your parted Hps. Lift up the boy on your shoulder high, And show him tho faded shred Those stripes would be red as the sunset sky If Death could have dyed them rod. The man that boro lt with Death has laiu Those twenty years and more He died that the work mlglu not be in vain Of the men who bore it before. The man that bears lt is bent and old, And ragged his beard and gray; But look nt his eye fire young and bold. At the tune that he hears them play. The old tune thunders thro' the air, And strikes right into the heart; If it ever calls for YOU, boy, BE THERE! - BE THERE AND READY TC START. Off with your hat as the flag goes by! Uncover the youngster's head! Teach him to hold lt holy and high For the sake of its sacred dead. ?J? ?J? ty ?J? ?|? ty ty ty tty ty ty ty ty ?j ty CARRYING THE GARDEN ?J ty TH ROUGH TO SUCCESS. .] ty - ^ ty Ry F. F. Rockwell. ^ ty ?J? *|? ?|? ty ty ty ty ty ?|? ?J? ?] Abraham Lincoln used to tell story, by way of Illustrating what th promises of some of his political OB pononts amounted to, of a splendl boulevard he once came across In Western city, lt began as a fine ave noe. flanked with magnificent tree on either side, and wide enough fo three coach-and-fours to driv abreast, but just beyond the tow limits it became a dirt road, and the a cowpath, and finally became squirrel path that ran up a tree an ended In a knot-hole! Some of our "war gardens" ai going to .vend like that ..this yea EV'ery season, in fact-war or i war-there are many gardeners wi start out most enthusiastically in tl spring and do excellently in gettlr their gardens started, only to ha> their good resolutions "peter oui toward mid-summer, and finally I thing? slide entirely. This meal that they not only lose the opporti nlty to get a fall as well as a sur mer crop from their gardens, but fo felt the benefits of much of tho woi they have already done, and by rai ing a crop of weeds, waste the fert: tty of the soil and sow a lot of tro ble for next season. Weeds are ? wayo ready to go to work and pr duce a crop of seethi just as soon the gardener stops producing ero of vegetables. Don't play Into t hands of the enemy! Even If yi can't push this year's campaign a further, at least hold what you ha gained for next spring's drive. Cultivation. Summer neglect of the garden caused more often by ignorance just what should be done than carelessness. It may seem a wai of time to cultivate soil from whi you have already succeeded In fr< lng weeds, or to pull weeds in t rows of vegetables that have mn their full growth, and will be "go by" In n week or two. But it ls n All the soil between tho rows shot be cultivated or stirred freq lien until you aro ready to take out t first crop and plant another. Ev< weed that is left, whether it is rectly injuring ??ny vegetable or n is robbing the soil, and most of th will have matured seed and thus p vlded for many hours of tiresome bor on your part before you snap that they aro half-grown, because I flowers and seed-pods are so inc spicuous. How Dust Saves Water. Any one can easily understand t cultivation after wet weather soon as tho soil ls dry enough work in without, being sticky-\ help to loosen lt up and dry it out admitting the njr. lt is more d cult to explain to the beginner t frequent, cultivation, in a long por of dry weather, also helps to keep moisture in the soil. That is, if surface of the soil, all over the f den, is kept finely pulverized 1 dry. tho moisture below the surf pan bo saved. Tho dry "dust mul on the surface acts just as a cover nf loavos or strawey manure wo do, keeping tho moist soil belov protected from the sun and wi which otherwise would cause it tc HBed up rapidly by evaporation. This frequent summer cultivai should not be deep enough to cut or break the plant's roots. One to two Inches ls deep enough. If you have not got a wheel hoe, which is just the thing for this work, get a slide or scuffle hoe. This will cost but fifty cents or so; will_do tho work much quicker and bettor, and will last for years. A blade eight inches wide ls better than a wider one for gonornl use. Keep All the Ground Busy. The quick growing crops, such as radishes, lettuce, beans, kohl rabi, early turnips, and peas, which every one plants In the spring, aro often absent from the fall garden. There is no reason why you should go without any of those If you Uko them, as there ls still time to plant them, and usually plenty of room to lit them lu after early crops just as soon as the latter can be got out of the way. Muny gardeners don't even walt for tho first crops to be wholly used up, but make their succession planting between the rows of such things as are nearly harvested, so that they will be ready to take their places without any lost time In bo tween. Use summer or wlntor vari eties of radishes for sowing now. For turnips for quick uso, the old favor ites are good. Use early varieties of peas or beans. Suggestions for fighting insects and drouth will be given in the next arti cle, which will appear In our Issue of August 8th.

A Clemson College bulletin says; A delicious variation may be made from ordinary buttermilk by the addition of lemon juice and sugar. "Buttermilk lemonade" usually re quires the juice of three lemons to one quart of buttermilk. The quan tity of lemon and sugar, however, should be varied to suit the taste of the individual.
