But it's his Jackson that draws the most attention. Last year more than 400,000 people m n8 it one of the state's most popular attractions. operated by the National Park service, the home was built in 1839 in the Greek Revival style and is the only home the Lincolns ever owned. Mr. Lincoln, his wife, Mary Todd Lincolnand three sons lived in the two-story home for 17 years before leaving for Washington, D.C. Today the home is furnished with a combination of original pieces and antiques representative of the mid-1800s. One of the more striking features of the house is the hallway where Mr. Lincoln's black top hat and shawl casually hang as though awaiting his return. Admission to the home (open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) is free. Other Lincoln attractions in Springfield include the law office he shared with Billy Herndon, the depot where he bid Springfield farewell and the restored Old State Capitol where he delivered his famous House Divided speech. Reaching 117 feet into the sky, Lincoln's Tomb in Oak Ridge cemetery is an impressive tribute to the 16th president. The foyer and burial chamber as well as the outside of the tomb are flanked with statues and plaques. On Tuesdays at 7 p.m. from May through August, visitors to the tomb may view special programs staged by the 114th Infantry regiment, a volunteer Civil War militia group dedicated to preserving Lincoln tradition. Twenty miles northwest of Springfield is Lincoln's New Salem State Historic site, a reconstructed version of the tiny hamlet where Lincoln lived for six yea5s before coming to Springfield. Here a young Abe Lincoln tried his hand as a clerk, postmaster and a surveyor before being elected to the Illinois General Assembly in 1834. A dozen timber houses, the Rutledge tavern, a school, a carding mill and numerous shops have been reproduced and furnished as they were in the 1830's. Only the Onstot 1 w h e r e L i n c o l n s t u d i e d b T " - 1 - * * " • f -- « - » « - « • gardens and volunteers in pioneer _. events are offered throughout the year, in summer, "Your Obedient Servant Midnight." Camping and boat trips on the Sangamon river are also available. New Salem is open daily and admission is free. Even more Lincoln-related sites are located along the Lincoln Heritage trail, a signed national route following Lincoln's life through Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois. Illinois' portion takes visitors to Lincoln Trail monument, where the Thomas Lincoln family first crossed into Illinois; Lincoln Log cabin, where Lincoln's parents lived and are now buried; Mt. Pulaski courthouse, only one of two original courthouses remaining on the 8th judicial circuit traveled by Lincoln as a lawyer, and Vandalia Statehouse, Illinois' second capitol where Lincoln launched his legislative career. Galena, often called a jewel of the Midwest and the town that time forgot, was a prosperous lead mining center in the mid-1800's. It was during this era that nine Galenians sored as generals in the Civil War. One, Ulysses S. Grant, went MI to become the 18th president of the United States. Upon his return to Galena after the Civil War, the townspeople gave General Grant a house on Bouthillier street. Grant only lived in the house for three years before leaving for Washington, but returned to visit several items. Like Lincoln's home in Springfield, Grant's home has been authentically preserved with much of the original furniture intact. The Grant home is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and admission is free. Visitors to Galena can also explore numerous other museums, architectural landmarks, and antique shops. Open house tours of privately-owned historic homes are offered in June and September.

Yesterday he received a notice from the Motor Vehicle division of our state that said he can't drive, anymore because he islRffa safe driver at 80. They cancelled his driver's license. Now what I want to know is how they can do this to him? I know many people who drive their own cars to our senior citizen's club who are over 80 and there is even one grandmother who is over 90. She drives her car. "To make matters worse, we found out that our son is < the one who reported his father. It may be true that Dad isn't the world's greatest driver any more, and was in three accidents last year, but they were the other drivers' fault. I sup­ pose our son reported Dad because he is afraid he'll get in an accident that will end up in court with lawyers taking so much money that there won't be any left for the heirs when we die. Our son is the only heir. "Is there anything we can do about this? The motor vehicle people said it is final." - Dell K. A. If Dell's husband has had three accidents in a year, he is better off not driving at all. I think the son was right in reporting his father to the Motor Vehicle division. Driving is a privilege in his state, not a right. If the father drove at 80 without mishap or serious Beef Breeding Tips (Town and Count ry T ips by Br ian Sager) The first goal of any beef cow operation should be for each cow to produce a live, healthy calf every twelve months. This requires that all cows and bulls used in a production program be in good health and reproduc­ tive soundness. While there are many factors to consider in this endeavor, proper nutrition is probably the most critical for successful reproductive performance. Mature cows THE MAMt BASKET Packaged Foods There are several ways to use packaged foods to save money if your family is small and if you have the right equipment to make use of it. For example, a small fam­ ily might consider buying packaged potatoes. They're cheaper and you don't have waste from rot or sprouts. And if you prefer fresh pota­ toes, ask the produce mana­ ger to sell you less than five pounds. Cooked cereal is another bargain, especially in a mic­ rowave oven. If you have a microwave, it can save time and utensils when making hot cereal. Also when buying cereals, read labels for nutritional in­ formation and check to see if the product comes in dif­ ferent packaging materials. Boxes cost more than poly- should gain about one pound daily during the last third of g e s t a t i o n t o a c c o u n t f o r increases in the fetus and fluids alone. In a severely cold winter, as experienced this year, cows' feed requirements increase to enable them to maintain body condition. In addition first-calf heifers have g r e a t e r n u t r i t i o n a l requirements than mature cows because the heifers are still in a developmental stage. After calving, a cow's daily energy requirement nearly doubles. If sufficient feed is not supplied, cows will lose weight and delay in returning to heat. Cows in a gaining condition at breeding are much more likely to be rebred suc­ cessfully. Thin to moderately fleshed cows should be fed to gain one-half to three-quarters of a pound per day up to the breeding season. First-calf heifers should be managed separately as they are still growing and require more feed to repair their r e p r o d u c t i v e t r a c t s a f t e r calving. While good nutrition is essential, a herd vaccination program is also important for successful reproductive performance. A program to control reproductive disease should include vaccinations for brucellosis, leptospirosis, vibriosis, and IBR. A local veterinarian should be consulted to establish a sound vaccination program. Another key to improving the breeding performance of a cow herd is to maintain a short breeding season. A short season of sixty to ninety days will result in more calves born earlier in the season with increased calf weights at weaning. Cows that do not rebreed within ninety days cannot raise a calf every twelve months and are less profitable to the production program. Weire looking for someone who can manage to please.

Driving a car is danger exercise that most of us elders should be glad to do without if we become a menace to others. Everybody - age 20 to age 80 - thinks hie or she is a good driver.

Dell's husband should give up his license with a sigh of relief. While it is true that he now needs help to get around town, he doesn't have the worry of driving anymore. Perhaps his son will serve as a chauffeur from time to time. Q. "I am a widow of 63 who will marry a man 81. My Social Security check is $289 a month.

SUGAR -- SUGAR -- SUGAR Food processors not only use far too much sugar in manufac­ tured food items, they use some rather devious techniques to hide the fact from you. The law requires that the ingredient list on packaged foods list the contents in the order of quantity. The first ingredient is the one the "food" contains the most of, last listed is the least. Since manufacturers don't want you to know how often sugar is the major ingredient, they may use several different sugars and list each one separately. One "breakfast cereal" label was found to contain 7 different names for sugar. Protect yourself against trickery by reading the ingredient listing required on all packaged food, ond by being familiar with some of the names used for sugar. Here are some names copied from various labels: Corn syrup, corn syrup solids, corn sugar, natural sugars, dextrose, maltose, maple syrup, raisin syrup, malt syrup, molasses, grape sugar, grape sugar solids, honey, fructose, xylitol, sorbitol, manitol, glucose, fruit sugars, natural fruit sugars, cane sugar, beet sugar, natural and artifical sweet- ners, partially digested food starch; and of course, listed so that you will recognize it somewhere: sugar. All refined sugars (yes, this includes honey) ore to be avoided. Even if some sugars do not promote tooth decay, they distort body chemistry, creating imbalances ond digestive by-products that must be detoxified by the liver and kidneys. A good policy is to not buy any product in which a sugar is listed as one of the first 5 ingredients.
