 Political Small Talk.
 It is said that the democratic friends of Arthur Elliott in the south part of the town are huStling, realizing that both republican selectmen are almost sure to be elected and one of the dem- ocrats defeated. The contest will be lively, but the republicans have come SC near being defeated for the last two or three elections that they do not dare waste any votes on the opposite party, no matter how much they may desire to do so. MT. Elliott is a very young man for the office, but has friends in the Packer end of the town. where he formerly lived, also in Wau- regan and Central Village. s Mr. Cof- fey is also popular. being native of the south end of the town. The roads are an important question and the farmers feel that MT. Coffey will be interested in the country roads as well as those of the village, which are al- ready in good repair.
 The license question is not being discussed with the usual interest this year. The no-licenSe workers were so | disgusted with the court of inquiry farce that they have dropped out of l the ranks.
 Watch Out for Fires! Wood fires the past week have burn ed over land of the railroad company, | the O. A. Hicks estate, Mrs. Gamble | and the parsonage property at or near Packer. c. B. Montgomery, fire war | den of the Packer district, promptly notified the railroad men when he l sighted a. fire and the loss was kept very low. A fire seldom burns ten minutes in that vicinity without either the wideawake section foreman, J. l Sullivan. or Warden Montgomery be- | ing on the job In A. H. Mathewson's district, where the loss from fires was formerly very heavy. the prompt at tention to every smoke by both war | den and section men has made dam age suits almost thing of the past.

ODD FELry1WS COMING TO WESTERLY
Biz Demonstration Planned for Saturday-Weddmgs- Funeral of Mrs. William Culley-D A. R. Chapter En- tertained-Itaans to Observe Columbus Day.

The demonstration of Manchester Unity odd Fellows In Westerly, which includes street parade and class initiation in which over 500 from all sections of the state and from Nassa- chusetts and Connecticut will paItl- cipate, will be the largest evenr or the kind that ever took place in the town. Saturday evening was selected TOT the demonstration in order that members could attend with less inconvenience than on any other evening of the week In this connection, member . of Loyal Pride of New England lodge of Westerly suggests that the or1g1n of the society and the source of its peculiar name. Independent Order Odd Fellows. cannot now be historically traced.
 Until nearly the close of the nine teenth century it had been asserted for years that Defoe. the English nov elist, mentioned Odd Fellows as early as 1I45, but modern research has rel egated this as well as many other alleged incidents of the orders early days, to the realm of tradition It is known, however. that a society grew up in England during the eighteenth century. almost rivaling in numbers and influence the Masonic fraternity and that this Antient and Most Noble Order of Bucks began to decline about the year 1773 and passed out of exsst- ence. A reasonable supposition at- tains among antiquaries that these lodges furnished the nucleus of the odd Fellows into one lodge at a date subsequent to 17S0. This is the first authentic. reference to the society of Odd Fellows by name. It appears from English contemporary history that an Improved Order existed prior to this and the title most noble grand for the presiding officer of the "antient' as we'll as the subsequent orders ot Odd Fellows, would imply a common bond of succession. The Patriotic Or der was followed by the United Or ders and the Loyal Order.

in the United States and the deadly germs claim more victims in cities than in rural districts, due no doubt to the increased number of indoor workers in .confning quarters and their lack of sunshine.
 Tubercu1ar germs always attack when the system is weakened from colds or sickness, overworl<, overstrafn, confning duties or any drain which has reduced the resistive forces of the body. But nature always provides corrector and the best physicians emphasize that during chang ing climate our blood should be kept rich and pure and active by taking Scott s Emulsion after meals; the cod liver oil in Scott,s Emulsion warns the body by en- riching the blood-it peculiarly strength ems the lungs and upbui1ds the resistive forces of the body to avoid colds and prevent consumption
 If you work indoors, tire easily, feel 1anguid or nervous, Scott's Emulsion is the most strengthening food-rnedicine known; it builds energy and strength and is totally free from alcohol or any stupefying drug-every druggist has 1t- 15-1o6 Scott & Bowne- Bloomfield. S. T.

This fly is one of the most active agents in spreading typhoid fe- yer. It spreads Asiatic cholera and other diseases of the intestines It has even been known to be minor factor in spreading tuberculosis Its chief breed az place is the manure heap from which it may fly directly into the house.
