 Their action meets with the ap- proval of the health authorities and Is a commendable step towards ward ing off the plague.

 The town had a number of progress sives before Roosevelt deserted the party and there is some speculation as to how many of them will formally | signify their intention of returning to the G. O. P. ranks. Whatever their attitude may be on election day it Is not likely that any great number will ] register for the republican caucus, at this time at least.
 The registrars will meet again next Friday to give another chance to those who wish to go on the lists.
