TWENTY-TWO CASES OF
 MEASLES WERE REPORTED.
According to Annual Report of Health
 Officer in Lebanon.

E. l.. Danialson, M. D.. health officer of the town of Lebanon, has submitted his annual report to the Lebanon ot1- cials. The report is as follows:
 Measles have been quite prevalent; 22 cases have been reported Most of these came from students attending the high school in Wiliimantic. In one family there were three cases, two of them had for the second attack. No deaths, although some of the cases were severe.
 Three cases of scarlet fever have been reported. The source could not be traced; no deaths. Three cases of typhoid fever have been reported: one death Source of the disease has not been found. although samples of water and milk have been sent to the state laboratory to be tested for tue germs of the disease. Two cases of dipntheria have been reported. Antitoxiu was promptly used in curative and pro- tective doses; no deaths, and no other cases occurred in the two families. Three cases of tuberculosis have been reported: two deaths; no other cases have followed these.
 Since the commencement of the se- were epidemic of infanttle paralysis in New York, and it's rapid extension to other parts of the United States, un- usual precautions have been taken to prevent or l1IIl1L US eAlS1lSiO1 here. Thus far we have had only five cases; <; although in October of 1915 there were two cases reported as cerebro spinal meningitis that were undoubtedly cases of the same disease but no tof the dis tinctive epidemic character: three deaths; these three were very severe cases, lasting only few hours. Many children were seemingly ex- posed to the contagion, but in no fam fly was there more than one case. All of these cases were promptly placarded and quarantined and the houses thor oughly fumigated. No special change in disposal of garbage and sewage from former years. No complaints of nuis-
 ances have been made, and none have | been abated. More care of the sani- 1 tary condition of schoolnouses is found than usual. The sanitary condition of other public buildings is good al l though I find a tendency to careless ness in some of them. The water supply is abundant and of good quail 1 ity. The milk supply is also abundant and of good quality. The dairymen are required tc exercise great care to protect it's purity. No public work of sanitary influence has been undertaken during the year.

Judge Burpee in the superior court in New London Friday morning grant ed divorces to Jessie May Thompson of this city and Myra $. Sholes of New London. In the case of Mrs. Thonp- son she was given the custody of two minor children, and Mrs. Sholes was allowed to take the name of Myra 5. Frost.
 Attorney Douglas represented Mrs. Thompson. The plaintiff testified that she was married in Norwich on Jan. IS, 1899, to Frederick N. Thompson, and that her husband had left her ten years ago and from that tr2e on a sne had not heard from him and did not know at present where he was. She said she had two children, the oldest 16 years, and the younger 14. Both are working in Norwich and she asked for their custody.
 Michael Dennison, uncle of Mrs. Thompson, testified that Thompson had left his wife nearly ten years ago and that since that time he had been seen with another women. Mrs Thompsons mother testified along the same lines.
 Mrs. Myra S.. sholes testified that she was married to Ransom S. Sholes in New London on Nov. 12, 1912, and that five months later her husband left her and never returned. She said that during the five months her husband lived with her she had supported him while he sat around reading novels When she refused to support him any longer he had packed up and left her.
 Mrs Alice Howard, an intimate friend of Mrs. Sholes, told of Mrs. Sholes showing marks made on her by her husband and said that Tt one time Sholes choked his wife. She said that when he left he took eVelE+hinr he owned. even a bag of coal and some wood.
 Owing to an error in the complaint. Judge Burpee reserved judgment in the divorce suit brought against Pearl Artis by Caroline Hansen Artis. C.. Curtis Morgan appeared for the plain tiff, Cruelty was the charge and Mrs. Artis and her mother both testified as to the unbearable treatment accorded Mrs. Artis from the time of the mar riage until fear prompted her to leave her husband.

With 8 small additional appropriation from the town, a good building could be built. It will not be long. also, before more room will be needed in Chester deld.

ERATERNAL DAY.

Fraternalists are advocating the adoption by this country of a day to be known as National Fraternal day.
 Discussion of the proper day to be designated has brought forth many suggestions, some of which favor the anniversary of the founding of the first lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the pioneer of fraternal ben eft societies in the United States: John Jordan Upchurch founded Jefferson lodge, No. 1, A. o. U. w, at Meadville, Pa, Oct 27, 1868. Therefore, this Oc- tober day is the strongest in popular fty.
 A growing sentiment in favor of holding a 50th anniversary celebra- ticns of thesfounding of fraternalism on Oct&s27, 1918, may result in observing nationally the beginning of the great movement. Active work by fraternaI-

Grand Recorder Stroh has completed arrangements for the 16th stated meet ing of the grand lodge of Connecticut, which will be held at Lyric nall, Bridgeport, on Thursday, Oct 19. The grand lodge of Connecticut has juris- diction over the subordinate lodges of New York and Connecticut and will have it's headquarters at the Stratf1eld hotel. Representatives of each of these lodges are expected to attend and participate in the proceedings, the most important of which will natural ly be the election of officers and the reading of reports showing exactly how things stand and what has been ac- complished during the past year, @ year so abnormal in many respects that its doing cannot help but be re- fiected in the doings of the order.
