INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Library Report.
A Statement for the
Month of May.
A total of 3,796 shown by
this months statistics, indicates a gain of 474
volumes in circulation over the month of April. That this
increase is confined to the class known as light reading
is somewhat to be regretted, as other classes show a
corresponding falling off. A decrease of about one-third
in the use of history and biography is made good by the
large proportion of fiction issued, 2,833 volumes.
From May 1 to June 1, 112
new cards have been issued, bringing the total number of
issues up to 2,272.
Sunday attendance in
reading room as follows: May 7, readers 14, visitors 18;
May 14, readers 17; May 21, readers 11, visitors 8; May
28, readers 12, visitors 12.
On May 30, Decoration day,
there were 13 readers during the afternoon and 21 during
the evening. From 2:30 to 9 p.m. about 50 people came in
to see the building.

Items in their second reading will include
Council bill 05-38 which authorizes the City of

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin'
When it gets within a couple a weeks of the
Carthage Acoustic Festival I cant help but
start watchin the long range forecast. As
of yesterday afternoon, the forecast for June 11
was a high of 85 and a 10% chance of
precipitation. Not bad odds. Course the
Festival goes on rain or shine. The Private
Events buildin on the south side of the
Square is reserved and ready.This time a year doesnt seem ta be
any more predictable that any other season of
couse, and weather patterns can change at the
drop of a hat.
As a kid rain days had the
catastrophic possibility of shuttin down
baseball games. Nothin much more
devastatin to an eleven year old than to
have a game canceled. Cept of course the
growin possibility of a zit on the end of
their nose.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin.

Natural Nutrition
By Mari An WillisWhat about yarrow? This astringent herb
has shown up as a decorative plant in many flower
gardens lately. You can now see it in paprika,
yellow , red, and the natural white. It has been
used to stop bleeding since the Trojan war when
Achilles used it on his soldiers. That is where
the generic name Achillea is derived. In
Culpepers journals it is noted for use in
swelling and wounds. It appeared in the US
Pharmacopeia during the 19th century. In the
1950s an alkaloid was found to promote
blood clotting and stimulate new cell growth;
thus, it promotes healing of cuts, wounds and
burns by protecting against infection.
My favorite use of yarrow is in
the winter for colds, flu and fevers. In an
infusion (tea), it certainly displays its bitter
properties, but that is why it works so well. The
fever tea is combined with a little honey and
cayenne pepper. I have had people tell me
drinking it when you see the first chicken pox
pop out or the measles will decrease the length
and severity of the skin eruptions. Although
bitter, chewing the leaves may help a toothache.
I also read that you can use it as a hair rinse
to stop hair loss.
I had to trim my sage this
week. Its growth has been about as rapid as
the weeds. The leaves make a nice tea to aid the
digestive process and of course, one could dry it
and have plenty for spicing up dressing and other
dishes.
