Dutch Flat Correspondence.
DUTCH FLAT. Oct. 10Th

OulCh ELAI, OCl lJLu, 1909.
Editor Placer Herald:-To-day has been
happy one for the little folks of Dutch Flat.
The scholars of the public school, taught by
Mr.. Hartman, some sixty in number, went
out into the woods, short distance from
:own, to enjoy picnic festival. The tables
were spread in clump of small evergreen
trees, which had previously been decorated,
tastefully, with artificial flowers, by the girls,
and all was surrounded, on three sides nv
hills, crowned by glorious old pines which
seemed to look down with surprise and
pleasure upon the evidences of civilization
and progress" exhibited at the bower, in the
swings, and around the tables below. The
festival was opened by some appropriate re-
marks, to the children, by the Rev. Mr..
Cleavand. The dinner was prepared by the
ladies; it was abundant, and would have been
pronounced faultless by the most fastidious
disciple of Epicurus. Do you know that
the ladies of Dutch Flat can beat the world
getting up good dinners! The parents of
the children were present. which added much
to the interest of the occasion, to the en-
joyment of the scholars, and to the satisfac-
ton of the teacher Our public schools will
never become what they ought to be until a
greater interest is token in them by parents,
while they use their influence to maintain
the authority, and stay up the hands of teach
ers in their work. The picnic was a success
The children went home with faces besmear
ed, it is true with commingled dust and can

the festivities of the day.

CbiIlS and Fever.

We remember that some few years
gone by, the whole Virginia, east OF
the Blue Ridge, WAS more afflicted
with The chills and fever, than at any
other periot. within the memory OF
man. There scarcely was iamiiy

Petersburg, that had not one or more
Of its inmates down with this phys
zeal curse Of humanity. In some
counties the tobacco crop suffered
greatly for want ofthe proper atten-
tion-the negroes being too sick
with The fever and ague to work.
The following remedy we learn, was
resorted to a, length, which proved
wonderfully eflicacious in curing the
complaint. Wepublish it for the ben
eft of our readers. or their friends
who may be so unfortunate rs to con-
tract the disease: Take one pint
of sweet milk and one. tablespoon
full of ground ginger mixed thor
oughly, and heated over the fire
rs warm as it can be drank when the
chill comes on or commences. Re-
peat the dose once or twice, if neces-
sary. and the cure will be effected
N. B. IF the system be costise,
an aperient may be necessary in order
to prepare it properly for the above
prescription.
This is most accessible, the cheap
est and most eflicacious, and the
speediest remedy in the world.

Cure FOR FEVER AND AGUE.-Tbe
following brought fem the Spanish
Main, and said to be an unfailing
cure for fever and ague, is highly
recommended BY an exchange:
Just before the chill comes on. have
q pot of very strong coffee made,
and keep it hot, and when the first
chill is felt, pour out about a pint,
and squeeze the juice of lemon
into it, and a little sugar to make it
palatable, drink it OF, go to bed, and
cover Up warm. One trial Of this
often cures, whilst two or three never
fail.
This remedy is in common use
among the Inhabitants Of the West
India Islands. and we have been
informed that it is very successful.
