"Excuse me a moment, please, while I answer the telephone."
Answer Your Telephone
Promptly
One habit that will do much to help im
prove the quality of your telephone service
is the habit of answering your telephone
promptly.
Promptness in answering is a courtesy
that your telephone caller appreciates-delay
may cause him to abandon the call.
In one large city records show that on
nearly seven out of every 100 telephone calls
there is a delay of more than a minute be
fore the called party answers. This occurs
thousands of times daily, and in one-fourth
of the cases the party calling does not wait.
To help yourself and others to receive a
better quality of telephone service, why not
make it an invariable rule to answer your
telephone promptly?

DREAD DISEASE
Spread of Sleeping Sickness Threatens
Entire World, According to Scien
1- tists of Prominence
Sleeping sickness, called encephali
tis lethargica by the doctors, seems
now to have become a domestic evil,
says the Medical Record (New York)
in quoting a study of thsi formerly
rare disease by Doctor Lhermitte in a
French medical journal.
d It appears that the disease is epi
demic all over the world and that it
manifests itself in many forms, the
only symptom possessed by all in com
a mon being that of deep and prolonged
sleep.
In true encephalitis lethargica there
are four cardinal symptoms-ocular
paralyses, hypersomnia, fever and the
general state. The ocular paralyses
many be absent at the outbreak of the
disease, but once p-"sent they are
characteristic. So, too, is the type of
hypersomnia. It is a narcolepsy, but
the subject does not arouse quickly,
as in the condition which commonly
goes by the name and in which the
seizures may ,be only momentary.
However, the permanent sleep may be
preceded by narcolptic crises.
Doctor Lhermitte notes hypertension
of the muscles and a state suggesting
catalepsy. Tremors are often mani
fest; the temperature goes to 104 de
grees F. He says a Wassermann test
and examination of the spinal fluid
should always be made.
Now is the Time To Get Rid of Your
Rheumatism
If you are troubled with chronic or
muscular rheumatism buy a bottle of
Chamberlain's Liniment and massage
the affected parts twice a day with
it. You are certain to be very much
benefited by it if not actuaully cured.
Try it.
Japan's "Year of the Monkey"
Every year, in a series of 12, is
known in Japan by the name of an
animal, as in the signs of the zodiac;
and this is the year of the monkey.
Consequently the many millions of
New Year cards exchanged were for
the most part decorated with simian
representation of various kinds. The
year of the monkey is not considered
a propitious one for marriage, as the
word saru (monkey) also is a verb
which means "to leave" and there is
a supersition that all who marry in
the monkty year are likely to leave
their partners for life. Consequently
all the couples who intended entering
the married state in 1920 had to rush
the ceremony through in December of
1919, keeping country registries and
shrines very busy during that month.
The post office had a gigantic task in
delivering the hundreds of millions of
New Year cards dispatched the day
before the first of January.

TRIES IT ON BANKER
Young Man is Trapped by Officers
After Mysterious Calls on Phone
Are Traced and Makes Full
Confession
Fort Collins, Colo.-C. H. Thompson,
a student at the conservatory of mu
sic of the state agricultural college,
confesed to District Attorney Russell
W. Fleming and Professor Alexander
Emslie, head of the conservatory of
music, thtahe had attempted to extort
by means of "black hand" letters $10,
000 from Charles R. Evans, wealthy
banker and live stock man of this
city, according to the two men to
whom the confession is said to have
been presented.
Thompson declared that he had no
accomplices and that the sole reason
for his selection of the banker as his
expected victim was his need for ready
money.
Mr. Evans received the first letter in
which "blackmail" tactic were sus
pected last week. It notified him that
he had been elected to donate $10,000
to the American Equalization organi
zation:
Family Threatened
Direction for the hiding of the
money for the "blackhanders" were to
be phoned to Evans, the letter tated,
threatening him and his entire family
with death if he failed to comply.
Mr. Evans notified Sheriff Elmer I.
Cooke and District Attorney Russell
W. Fleming, who were unsuccessful in
locating the sender of the missive.
On Saturday night came a telephone
call, later traced to the stock judging
pavilion at the agricultural college,
him to place the money behind Unity
threatening the banker and instructing -
church. The officers and Evans drove
to the spot, but nothing happened.
On Monday night, Mr. Evans re- r
ceived another telephone call from a d
man who directed him to hide the
money at a certain spot near the agri- p
cultural college grounds. o
Blowing up of Car Threatened I
The man also warned Mr. Evans
not to have any officers around as he a
did on Sunday night or he would '
blow the auto and all to pieces. The
officers went to the spot, but no sign o
of the mystery man ,eould be found. s
Early last evening Mr. Evans re- c
ceived another mysterious telephone 1(
call, during which the speaker gave d
him detailed instructions on how to 0
take the $10,000 to an alley three
blocks south of the college grounds.
Deputy Sheriff Byrd Halligan and
City Policemtn Fred Cave were in
Mr. Evanss' home when the call came
in.
They slipped out of the house a mo
ment or two after th speaker had
hung up his phone. When Halligan
and Cave reached the alleyway to
which the voice directed Evans to
come, a man stepped out of the dark
ness and jumped on the running board.
The two officers grappled with him,.
but he wrestled himself free and fled
as they fired shots after him without
effect.
A monent later Thompson called
precipitously at the home of Professor
Emslie, the professor said later. He
was out of breath and explained the
the darkness and had been overcome
fact by saying that he had fallen in
by heart trouble, to which he was sus
ceptible. Professor Emslie was suspi
cious and reported the call to the sher
iff. Thompson was taken into custody
and later confessed.
