AN EXCELLENT financial showing has been' made by the city administration during the past two years despite the handicap' of depressed -conditions resulting from war, which speaks well for the careful attention given municipal aitairs nv the present omcials. In this period 20,000 of general bonds, and 17,000 o street nnuroVeinent bonds have been naiu olt. lnakimr total of $67,000, stopping au interest charge of $1,000 a year.. - - : " .- :. .. Speaking of this record, the avport of the. f inane conuiunee siates: , . " This showing Is remnrkalilo for three reasons: ' . " 1st Nover before in the 4i) years history ot Medford huvo any bonds of any kind been paid off. Some issues have been refunded twice until the city has paid in interest alone twice the original debt. Tuo city still owes for the old water ditch, pumping plant and tower discarded long ago; long before tne memory ot most of our citizens. 2nd The payment of $47,000 of street lmprovomont bonds Is more remarkable because ot the tact that prior to two years ago it was quite generally thought that the city could not pay these street Improvement bonds except by levying a tax as In the past, yet without a tax the coun cil bos paid off $11,000 In water, $1,000 In-sewer and $35,0110 In pav ing uonus auring tne past two years or its administration. 3d That while previous councils had levied a mineral tax runnlni? in. to a number ot mills to pay interest on improvement bonds, not one cent nus ueen leviea by the present council for that purpose during the past two years and what is more important, none is provided for in next yearns budget. And, too, last month there was enough surplus that we were en- aoiea to can ana pay on the entire original Main street and Oakdalo ave nue paving in mil. 7 - Notwithstanding increased cost of operation,, due to higher wages, advances in materials and other factors, the council is holding the tax levy down to about the same as last year less than - almost anv citv of its class in Oregon. ; ; With its new refunding and refinancing plan near ing completion, by which the propertv owners" will be abl to secure an extension oi rime on tiuur rmvnisr assess nienrs, rue city,, with its caretul and economical adnuuis tratioiu will shortly be in first class financial conditio! and ready for a period of healthy growth and progress V CONTROLLINQ- THE FLU. n ECURRENCE of the influenza epidemic iuTMedford Ashland and other valley towns was to be expected. as mis nas been the experience ot nearly every community in the .country. In Europe where the influenza has been epidemic for oyer a year it continues to break out anew. There is no use to temporize with half-way measures as it nas been demonstrated that eftective regulations re sult in eradicating it. Its recurrence is undoubtedly due to its spread from other afflicted regions by travelers, as tne iirsc eases or tnis second epidemic were travoluig men. The flu mask has been vroved the best nrovciirjitive and while it. entails considerable inconvenience, it is a question of safety first. It is hard upon business and nara upon amusements, but public welfare is above ciuiei. v, v-- ' - . . Everyone should heartily coroncrate in .' control HiiVtiin miiuenza, ior oy sucn co-operation, the closed, period will ue greatly snortenea. . . 36 Health Was ; Completely ' Shattered . When She Itpnn Taking , fanlac "Just give me Tanlac and you may have all the other medicine," said Mrs. C: W. Chrlstensen, residing at lliiG South 44th street, Tacoma, Washington. . "Those who have not seen me since I began taking Tanlac," con tinued Mrs. Chrlstensen, ; "would hardly know me on first sight, I have undergone such a change.7" Why, do you know 1 have actually gained thirty-six pounds. It hardly sounds reasonable, but it's the truth. - I had suffered from nervousness and fre quent dizzy spells' for seven years, and my sleep was so broken, and I -was so tired that 1 hardly felt like getting up in the mornings. My back felt like it would break in two. It hurt me so badly and my kidneys , bothered mo all the time. Everything I would1 eat tasted bad and my stom ach was so upset that 1 could not eat more than one meal a day, and that a very light one. Besides all this, abjJUt eighteen months ago; I was In an automobile accident, and have been almost a nervous wreck ever since..' T. thought-my condition was ljad': enough, before, but afterwards Kealtih. i was completely shattered. The: pains .in my back were almost unbearable, my stomach got worse ati4'.1:WBS-In dreadful- plight., ,1. lost jpoijht ulitl) I got down to only" rilne-tV-olght pounds- was hardly ' more tl'un a frame and was confined to my bed for several "weeks. . "Finally a friend of my husband : advised mo to get hie to try Tanlac, and my Improvement commenced with the first bottle. I have " been gaining strength ever since until now . my troubles are not only gone, but loci Just as strong and well aa I ever did.: I eat just anything and enjoy It p.pd nothing hurts me a particle. My nerves are strong and steady and 1 sleep so-, well that 1 am glad for night to me, and getting up' time comes so early for me In the morn ings, v .Tanlao has certainly 'brought health and happiness to mo and I, can't Bay loo much in Its praise." Tanlac Is sold in Medford by West Side Pharmacy, In Gold Hill by M. D. Hovers, In.Central Point by Miss M. A. Moo, In. Ashland by J. J. McNair. .... With the Yanks in France (From the Stars and Stripes, official organ of the A. E. F.) . "Mon dieu, a house can be rebuilt. It Is not so with the lite of a man." Thus spoke a little old woman of Brieulles-sur-Bar, as she stood beside the ruin of her home blown up by a mine explosion fired by the Germans to cover : their retreat. While the American engineers were rebuilding the road in front of her place she stood guard over the pieces of her rescued furniture, huddled-In the mud, polishing them with vigor when not too busy patting the passing doughboys on the back, or bending In love and reverence to kiss the hand of every pollu who paused to speak to her. Down her cheeks the tears were raining steadily, butthey were tears of happiness. : The same unquenchable fire light ed the eyes of Madame Morale, of Authe, when she stood In the door way of her home waving a tri-color as tho Yankcos marched Into the town. , . Madame Morale Is the name she acquired among the people of Authe' during four most bitter years! No matter what the news from the front, no matter what poison the German distilled for the minds of the Impris oned towns, there had never been any flagging of the spirit ot Madame Morale. She is 74 years did, but no one In hospitable Authe was quite so ener getic as she In preparing great tubs ot soup and eof fee for tho oncoming Americans. A fine spread was set put for a colonel, but somehow It seemed quite Impossible to suggest to Madame Morale that there was no need for her bringing to the' table every tired and hungry doughhy she could drag from the highway. Tils' American soldiers ; summoned Into lino tor the third and last phase of the Argonne drive will' remember It all the days of their lives. , But the memory that will lie always! closest to . their hearts and will ...'color 'most beautifully the stories they are to tell to their children in the glorious years to come' Is no the memory of the pursuit, which was' triumphant, nor of the speed, whkh was exhaust ing beyond ull words, it Is, rather, the memory of the scores of commu nities reclaimed in the path that leads from Orandpre to Sedan, the little old lost towns of Franco. From that misty September morn ing when thi?- American- First army struck its first-, blow northwest of 'Verdun to that misty Xovember mor ning when the order "Ceace firing" sounded from Switzerland to the sea, ,more than 150 towns and villages were -won back hy force of arms. Some of thesd, the first recaptured are' so .nearly obliterated that those who had lived there all their days will find not one familiar wall or door to greet tholr desolate, return. But.Qihtiis; more tutur liaif or all, were little battered by the war? and In all of those, from Buzancy north ward, a half-Incredulous, altogether jumiant population stood waiting with outstretched haifds, waiting with laughter and tears and songs and coffee and kisses, the advent of their deliverers. Food was not abundant, but. thanks to the American "ravltollle- mont," was enough. What they lack ed most sorely was word from jtheir own people and tidings from j the world outside. Once or twice a year thru the officers of tho Ked Cross in Switzerland, brief letters no longer than telegrams, would come . from their kin on the other side of the bat tle line, but for news of how that battle was going they had to depend on that curious journal, known as the Gazette des Ardennes, the offic ial publication of the occupied terri tory, which appeared every week-- ,up to the time when the American doughboy kept the printers moving every day when it suddenly ' and mysteriously ceased to Issue. ine uazette ties Ardennes was made up, for the main part, of arti cles carefully written by the Germans and calculated to . dishearten the French articles which particularly and- persistently derided the notion that the. Americans could make any difference In tho relentless course of the war. Thru the Gazette It was possible to send for "all the latest books" splendid books to read such TIib Decadence of England," "The Capital Crimes of Bolglum," "Guilty Belgium," and many others of tho same Ilk. , ' 1)1 ED NEW IOKK, Dec; 0.
