Revere The daring patriot, made his
famous ride on horseback to arouse
the sleeping farmers and townspeople
with the warning that the British sol
ders were on the way TO seize the
powder and stores hidden away in
Concord.
However much the facts and de-
tails of this ride may be disputed
and three have arisen a legion OF
critics and carping historians who
deny the authenticity of much OF the
story-the youth of the land will be
more than willing to accept it as
given to the world in the lines of
Longfellow, which thrill and stir ev-
cry one who reads them.
But since denials have arisen, 1t
may be well to state the facts as
plain, unvarnished history gives them.
As matter of fact, while it is popu-
larly believed that the lantern was
hung in the belfry of the North
Church to signal the direction taken
by the British TO Paul Revere, who
was waiting across the river for the
signal, Paul Revere had no need of
such a signal. He had accurate in
formation regarding the route to be
trayersed by the British. The Ian

Wouldn't This Jar You.


A gentleman addressing a high
school graduating class not many miles
from Platteville, told the class to
stand, march to the front of the stage,
receive their diplomas, and march
around the stage in a circle, for lit
was the best dressed class that had
ever graduated at the SCHOOL," This
may have tickled a few of the vain
ones, but when one realizes the sacri-
fees that many parents have to make
to give their children a good education,
it is mighty poor taste to parade the
matter of dress in public manner by
word of mouth. If some of the poorer
parents will realize that some of their
daughters look prettier in well made
garments of inexpensive material than
others in silks and satins, they may
get some consolation that the acquiring
of knowledge is not for the purpose of
making dress models of their daugh-
tiers. Platteville Witness.

Ferns Preserve Food.

People who have lived in England
know that the English have used ferns
successfully for many years. Valuable
fruit, fresh butter, etc, are no longer
seen in the English markets packed in
grapevine leaves, but almost always in
fresh fern leaves which keep the arti-
cles eXcellently. This is done where
grapevine leaves are to be had in abun-
dance. Everyone posted well in botany
knows the high preservative power of
fern leaves with reference to vegetable
and animal substances.
On the Isle of Man fresh behring's are
packed in ferns and arrive on the mar
ket in as fresh condition as when they
were shipped. Potatoes packed in ferns
keep many months longer than others
packed only in straw Experiments
made with both straw and fern leaves
in the same cellar showed surprising
results in favor of ferns. While the
potatoes packed in straw mostly showed
signs of rotting in the spring those in
ferns were as fresh as if they had just
been dug.
Fresh meat is also well preserved by
fern leaves. 1t would seem as if the
highly preservative qualities of fern
leaves are due to their high percentage
of salt No larvae, maggots, etc. APP
proach ferns as the strong odor keeps
them away.

Deaths from Scarlet Fever are Declining.
Now that smallpox, thanks to com
pulsory vaccination, has become a rarity
in civilized communities, scarlet fever
steps forward as the worst of the erup-
tive diseases of childhood
1t is a malady Of enormous antiquity.
Thucydides, writing nearly five hundred
years before the beginning Of our era,
called it a heritage from the remote
past. 1t has scourged the white races
in all ages and all countries, and the
physicians of all schools have leyeled
their heaviest artillery upon it, says
DR.. Leonard X. Hirshberg in the Au-
gust Delineator Yet it remains a puz-
zle unsolved and an enemy unconquered
even today. We are in doubt as to its
cause, and there is no drug or antitoxin
that will cure it,
But despite all this, the death-rate
from scarlet fever is steadily declining,
and we may expect it to decline more
and more as the years 20 by.
