Stringent Measures May Save Russia Despite Unfavorable Conditions By Associated Press Despite all the unfavorable news that still continues to come from the Russian war theater, there are occa sional signs of an improvement in the situation. Last night's Petro grad newspapers, for instance, found cause to report a somewhat better situation at the front, probably as the result of the drastic measures to restore discipline which the govern ment has authorized in the re-estab lishment of field courts-martial and the reimposition of the death penalty. Similar stringent measure in Petro grad also appear to have proved effective in dealing with the dis orderly elements. Reports of a re newed fighting in the capital are ac companied by the statement that government troops stepped into the situation with salutary effect, sup pressing the rioting completely. Meanwhile the entente front else where is giving renewed evidences of its solidarity, not only in a military but a political way. The allied con ference at Paris, which was believed to have been chiefly devoted to Bal kan affairs, adjourned its sessions with a renewed declaration of unites purpose on the part of the entente powers not to lay down their arms until the central powers had been put in a position where they would not find it possible again to pursue a policy of criminal aggression. Cavalrymen Fight Like Heroes to Save Russia; . Korniloff Shoots Traitors By Associated Press Petrograd, July 27.—Accounts of the battles in Galicia which have reached here say the cavalrymen fought like heroes. Cossacks, co- i operating with Russian and British motorcars, defended the Sereth line : as long as the least hope remained. It is reported that artillerymen on their knees implored the infantry to save their guns but that the in fantrymen did not heed them. General Korniloff's orders to traitors and marauders are being carried out. The comnnnder of a grenadier division has been removed for refusing to fire on deserters. The Fifth cyclist battalion fought most bravely. It kept off three Ger man regiments with its machine guns and carbines and made several bayonet charges afoot. In one at tack the men rode their bicycles, j Some sections of the battalion lost eighty per cent, of their officers. A member of the Duma who has returned ' from the Dvinsk front states that after Russian shock bat talions had captured German posi tions they were attacked from the Russian rear. Kerensky Calls Great National Council to Meet Situation at the Front By Associated Press Petrograd, July 27. —The extreme gravity of the country's position in | the front and rear impels Premier Kerensky to take the exceptional decision, without waiting for the constituent assembly to convoke July 31, at Moscow, the "extraordi nary national council." All mem bers of the Duma, prominent njen from chief centers of the empire, rep- Why You Should Never Pare a Corn If you are troubled with corns or calluses, do not run the risk of blood I poison by paring them. Statistics t show that many deaths have occurred from this seemingly innocent practice of paring corns. Simply go to your druggist and get a few cents' worth of Ice-Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or callus. Immediately the pain will disappear and in a short time the corn or callus will loosen and lift off easily with the j fingers—root and all—leaving the sur | rounding skin In a healthy, normal condition. J This, together with the fact that Ice-Mint overcomes such affections as | sore, tired, aching, puffed or burning feet and makes them cool, easy and comfortable, Is probably responsible for the hearty endorsement given It by druggists. To rid one's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes or painful calluses in such a pleasant and safe way, makes It seem the height of folly for anyone to pare a corn, and I people are warned to top it.—Adver ' tlaeraent I resentatives of the Zemstvos, mu ! nicipalities, labor unions and univer sities will participate. The council will hold two sessions, ;at which the government will be asked to make an exhaustive report on the condition of the country, an swer questions and ask opinions of ; authoritative persons on how to i save the fatherland from ruin. Explaining the scheme to-day, Premier Kerensky declared that at tempts to move the revolution back wards were impossible. Conspira cies to restore monarchlal govern ment "will be suppressed in the most determined and merciless way." As an indication of the new policy and firm measures to be taken, Kronstadt received an ultimatum to hand over three of the chief Bols heviki agitators, including the no torious Roschal. In case of a refusal the island will be declared block aded. The evening newspapers declare the position on the front is some what improved. As the evacuation of Tarnopol is considered to have been premature, Kussian generals have been ordered to recapture the town. Kaiser Views Battle on the Eastern Front By .4 ssociated Press Berlin, July 27, via London.—Near Tarnopol, in Eastern Calicia, Em peror William yesterday watched the German troops extend their gains at the Sereth bridgehead, says the offi cial statement issued to-day by the German war office.

The Galician town of Kolomea on the river between Stanislau and Czer nowitz has been captured by the Teu tons. Troops under command of Arch duke Joseph have retreated on the Rumanian front.

APPLYING THE GOLDEN RULE No rule is worth much unless it is ! applied, but when you lay the rule against your work and mark off Its several divisions, the rule begins to] become a vital element in your day. j Life is perhaps the only thing which i we dare to conduct without refer- j ence to strict rules, and this, the tnost important of our possessions,' we are prone to conduct in a most: haphazard fashion. We go bungling i through the world with much beg-j ging of pardons and with many in juries uncondoned, for a prompt "I beg your pardon" does not always < take away the hurt. Jesus gave usj the Golden Rule as part of a state-: ment of the bounteous spiritual gifts which are ours for the asking. But, j having told us to ask of the Father: I the good things which He is ready J to give, he continues with the word,! "therefore." Reasoning, then, from ; i effect back to cause, we find our- 1 selves led to regard the keeping of the Golden Rule as the key to the promised blessings. After all, keep-i i ing the Golden Rule is merely a mat ; ter of thoughtfulness and unweary | ing kindness, for most of our un- ! kindness is the result of thoughtlesa ! ness. The Golden Rule is positive, -t, does not admonish us not to do things which wo prefer people not to' do to us, but it tells us to do them: and for them those things which | would please us at their hand. We i like to hear that someone has spoken | well of us In our absence; we like ; Sympathy: we dislike temper, and! we loathe satire and the wit that stings. We like to find little things I done for us when we come home at | night: we like a cheery word of, greeting. If our task is hard we like ;an understanding, an unobtrusive! i lift. We like to think of things that; ; are worth while, and we dislike speech that is unclean o* urfworthy. . It is probable that others like much i the same things that we like, and' | keeping in mind the possible likes of i j others, with thoughtfulness and tact' j we will be able to live the Golden j Rule, and living it, find each new | day more glorious and happy than; those that went before.—The Chris tian Herald.

County Farm Bulletin Gives Canning Recipes For Preserving Corn In the weekly bulletin issued by the Dauphin County Farm Bureau di rections are given for the canning of corn both on the cob and in grains as cut from the ear. The receipt for the canning of corn on the ear is said to be not only a late idea but a success as well. The bulletin follows: With the new crop of sweet and sugar corn coming on the market, and doubtless a great demand for methods of canning and drying this corn for winter use, the Farm Bureau takes this opportunity to suggest a simple but effective means by which the two common vegetables, corn and beans, may be preserved for the winter. Sweet corn may be canned either on or cut from the cob. In a year like the present, however, canning corn on the cob is hardly economical, i Corn on the cob. Can the same day as picked. Remove husks, silk and grade for 3ize. Blanch on the cob in boiling water five to twelve minutes. Plunge quickly in cold water. Pack ears, alternating butts and tips In half gallon glass jars.

The average price for fresh eggs was 38 cents a dozen. Far mers who do a Friday business in the city sold eggs at 36 cents.

It is ex pected that this ruling will result in a rush for marriage licenses through out the country in the next few days, i The impression has heretofore pre vailed that registered young men who married after June 5 did so only to be in a position to claim exemption and that their marriage would be re garded as an attempt to evade the j selective service act and would not | be recognized as a bonafide claim. j This part of the Provost Marshal's | letter seems to upset this impression | and to establish a reverse ruling: "In j reference to marriage after June 5, | 1917, it would seem in like manner I that the claim of discharge because ! of dependency should be determined :at the date of calling. If the person called is then a married man and has i a wife at that time depending upon his labor in the sense in which that j term is used in the rules and regula j tions. it would seem that he could be discharged from the service, if in I the opinion of the board the claim is ! substantiated.
