Indeed there is no time when a motorist feels' so impotent as when the oar he or she is driving starts to do the corkscrew turn on a greasy pavement, and unfor­ tunately the car not infrequently comes to rest against the curb, a street car, or what not. The motorist pays for experience^ but it is too bad about the car. It is well to remember that excel­ lent as are the various non or anti-skid tires, there is, as far as the writer knows, no tire,, as efficacious as chains on a slippery pavement. Under any circumstances it is of the utmost importance 'that the man at the wheel should drive slowly, keep at a safe distance from other vehicles, and avoid as far as possible the main arteries, especially in the congested, districts of vehicular traffic. When caught without chains the pavement between the tracks, owing to the roughness of its surface, offers a much better footing than does the pavement at the side. However, cau­ tion must be exercised in running on and off the tracks. This should be done slowly and abruptly, so as to avoid permitting one of the tires to get caught in the track, in which case it is not only difficult to get clear, but will result in a skid if care is not tak­ en. To avoid skidding on a slippery pave­ ment, keep the car as far as possible in a horizontal position. Do no allow your tires to get into a rut, as a side thrust is almost certain to precipitate a skid. Run slowly and never turn abruptly. Jtfever put on a sudden spurt or smash on your brakes. If the car starts to skid throw out your clutch, turn the front wheels in the same direction that the car is skid­ ding (this will be against your primary inclination), and above all, keep yffur head, and leave the brake alone till the car has righted itself. It's the control you have of your car, not the speed you drive at, that commands the respect of your fellow drivers. RELATIVES MUST PAY SUPPORT STATE INSANE HOSPITALS ARE OVER­ CROWDED TODAY. Relatives of patients at the state hospitals for the insane will hereafter be obliged to pay for the support in such institutions of a patient, under a new state law, recently put into force by President Sherman of the state board of administration. Heretofore blood relatives of a pa­ tient have paid for transportation and for clothing and the state has footed the bill for all other expenses. The new law provides that where relatives are financially able to do so, they will be obliged to pay for all maintenance, except for medical attention. The average cost per year for keeping an inmate at one of the hospitals is $160. Notices have lately been sent out by the board of administration to rela­ tives, calling attention to the new rule. It was at first thought that the matter was only an arbitrary ruling of the board, but is not the case. The new order is under a law which be­ came effective in July. Accommodation for patients at the state hospitals is becoming more of a problem every month. All of the state institutions are reported overcrowded with insane patients, and many coun­ ties have a large list of people waiting for a hearing on their sanity. At Elgin conditions are exceedingly perplexing to the authorities in charge. The highest recent enrollment at that institution was 1,464. This represents a larger number than the equipment at Elgin was designed to accommodate. Not only is there no relief in sight, but co inties are sending in more pa­ tients -O the institution every day. A few years ago Dr. C. B. Dirks, assistant superintendent at Elgin, went to the detention hospital at Chicago and found fifty-five patients confined there waiting for hearings. Should all these be found insane they will be scattered among the hospitals at Elgin, Dunning and Kankakee. AUCTION SALE. The undersigned having just pur. chased the late F. J. Berry farm, one and one-half miles north of Wauconda, have decided to discontinue the dairy business and will sell on MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1912 at 10 o'clock their newly acquired herd of dairy cattle. Twenty-five are well bred Holsteins. About ten are, or will be, new milch by day of sale, several others will be close spr ingers and all are good milch stuff. Remember this is a srood chance to get good Holstein stuff and not a cull in the lot. Usual terms and lunch. WELSH & GUEASON, Proprietor*!, FRO* 8TACYVILLE. I0WA. In renewing his subscription to The Plaindealer, Wm, Mueller of Stacy- ville, la., writes that December 26 was a very stormy day in Iowa, about a foot of snow falling on that day, with the thermometer registering eight below zero. He further stated that the crops of last season were not of the best on account of a shortage of rain. Thresh­ ing, he says, started on July 7 and at the time of writing his letter there were Mill four tracks of flax and two of oats that were untkreshed. Threshing machines were out about six months.
