THE CAR OWNER AND
HIS STORAGE BATTERY
Many owners of cars are adverse
to the use of electrical starting
equipment because they claim it is
a source of much trouble and no
small upkeep exuense. This is due
largely to a lack of knowledge re
garding the fundamental principles
governing the storage battery and r-o
unintentional carelessness and neg
lect is very often costly. The farm
er who does not feed or water his
horses would naturally not expect
them to do the work. Here are a
few little simple rules which if prac
ticed will l.eep your storage battery
doing good work.
Keep your battery charged to its
lull capacity and it will last longer
and give better service.
Do not allow anv foreign sub
stances to -it into your battery. A
few parti les of dire will rapidly de
teriate the battery.
Ueineiiibr that u riu.-:l restore
ul! the current used from your bat
tery or soon ii wit! go "dead" on
yo,:. And it rreuircs about twenty
times a? much replacing as what you
use.
Keep a I! the connections tight if
yuii expect to get tin; best service
from your bat'rry.
If you leave your car stand for
boors with tb.e lig!:fs burnir;;' it is
hour.d to run !ovn your battery.
Above all keep plenty of current
in your battery if you hope to get
i;oud service from it at a minimum
of expense.

THREE WERE AT THE
HOSPITAL THURSDAY
Every Day Brings New Demonstra
tion of the Need of Such an In-'
stitution in This City.
In the columns of the Journal yes
terday there appeared news items of
three people having been taken to
hospitals in Omaha for treatment ami
operations. This is not a rare oe
curance but often there are from one
to as many as four cases in a single
day taken from the vicinity to var
ious city hospitals. The Hospital
committee of the Commercial club
has in mind the establishment of a
hospital in t his city that will care
for the cases of Piattsmouth and vi
cinity and if procured it should be
an institution that will merit atid
meet with support at the hands of
our people, the time conies wnen tor
nearly everyone a hospital must he
sought and it is then that we are
forced to make a hurried run with
a car over any kind of roads and in
any kind of weather for some distant
town where there is a hospital. The
enterprise of the Commercial club in
seeking to procure the establishment
of such an institution here is a most
worthy one and we earnestly hope to
see it succeed.
