SOLDIERS AND WIDOWS EXEMPT
 AS FORMERLY
Assessors,Acting Under Ad- vice, Disregard Law of Last General Assembly.

Proceeding on the theory that the act of the last Legislature providing an annual pension of $30 to soldiers and soldiers widows is not constitu- tiona1, the board of assessors here. at the suggestion of Tax Commissioner Corbin has adhered to the practice of former years in listing the property of soldiers and their widows.
 Under the new State pension law, the provision of former years, that soldiers and their widows should en- joy an exemption of $1, coo on their property lists, is rescinded. But the constitutions ity of the new law has been brought into question, and Tax Commissioner Corbin has advised the assessors to proceed as in former years.
 The exemptions from property lists on the grand list of 1910 for this req son amounted to S21S, ,090. The eXemp- tions for the list of 1911, just compiled, aggregate $234. 750.

Have You Lost Your Appendix? Chicago Doctor Says Many Were Removed Through
 Ignorance Over 100 Cases of Stomach Ache Wrongly Diagnosed
 as Appendicitis
Especial from United Press.)

Chicago, Jan. S1.-''when in doubt, saw off the appendix" This, accord ing to pr. Harold K. Gibson, physt- elan for the state factory inspection commission, is the policy that Illinois surgeons have adopted.
 That the surgeons are in doubt many times, the doctor declared in a lecture here, is evidenced by the fact that over 100 factory employees he has examined have had their 'ap- pendix" removed in the last year, when they were not suffering from appendicitis at all but only from ''plumbism, better known as Etom- ach-ache.

FROM "RlNGso TO LETTERS.
Special Supplemental Telephone ri
rectory Soon to Be in Use.

The number designations of rings
on party telephone lines will be
changed to letters when the special
supplemental telephone directory is
distributed within a few days. This
change from numbers of letters is
made the quicker and better to han
die calls. The elimination of the
word ring makes q saving in time,
slight on an individual call but large
IN the aggregate, and enables each
operator to handle a larger number
of calls per hour at times when the
calling rate is very high
Practically all ring numbers have
been eliminated. being retained on
the so-ea1led farmer lines only. In
stead Of number rings. six letters
have been selected after much con-
sideration. The letters adopted have
been found 10 have the least similar
ity, in sound to numbers and are tel
ephonieally more distinct and less
liable to error The letters used are
w, II and for the former rings of
one two and three, respectively, and
NJ. j and X for IS. IA and Is. respee-
lively. For instance, a subscriber
whose number is l23-R answer to
two short rings and 123-Y to three
short rings. Subscriber 1881, whose
number previously may have been
l23-l2, will answer to two short rings
as before, the letter ] denoting two
rings on that side of the line. In
no case, however, should the sub
scriber attempt to change any ring to
letter or letter TO number. The
call should be given exactly as the
subscriber is listed in the latest is
sue of the directory or unsatisfactory
service may result.
In making these changes 1t was
necessary to plan the number and
location to each subscriber for weeks
in advance of the actual change in
order that changes in listing should
NOT be carried on the switchboard to
the Inconvenience Of any larger num-
Der of subscribers than absolutely
necessary Only the. latest issue Of
the directory should be used. Es-
pecially should all memoranda be de-
stroyed or carefully corrected other
wise errors Will occur for which CEN
tral cannot be held accountable.
