In Mr. Cnrkin's retirement the''

known business men whose selection

Hill is very' familiar with citv af

timer. He will take Mr. Cnrkin's
place on the finance and water and
f iro committees. . . j

- It hnfl been known for some time
that Mr. Carkin would resiim. and
the selection of Mr. Hill and his ac
ceptance was acreed on a week 'aao.
In his formal resignation Mr. Carkin
in a written communication praised
the administration of Mayor C. E.
Gates and the present council, re
viewing their arduous labors and va
rious stcp pursued in connection
with refinancing the citv and putting
it on a sound financial basis.
- I'm Surplus Water Funds ,
In unanimously votuie for the in

and $5,000 in bonds of one of the
prior Liberty loans to be purchased

.' Mr. Carkin's formal resignation ad
dressed to' the mayor -and council
reads as follows: '' .--..
"I hereby tender my resignation as
councilman from the second ward
to take effect immediaelv. In doing
so I am not unmindful of the duty
of each doing his part hr public ser
vice bnt having served for over two
years I have done so at a sacrifice
to mv business and while it has been
a pleasure to do mv bit I feel that I
should now pass on the burden to

Pearl White in "Lightening
Raider" at Liberty Tonight
In the plcturltatlon of Mark Lee
uuther's "The Hope Chest," Dorothy
Gish carries the same personality
and character that made her famous
In "Hearts of the World." In many
scenes she uses almost the same cos
tume, and the disdainful tossing of
her head; the chic and teasing ex
pressions that once brought peals of
laughter from the audience when she
acted the "Little Disturber" part
the whole Individuality of. nor big
gest' success are being used to make
this picture the most attractive in
-which she has as yet appeared. It
will be displayed at the Liberty thea
tre tonight.
Also Pearl White In tho second
episode of the sensational new aerial
"The Lightning Raider."
has been one of real accomplishment.
Starting nt a time when it was un
popular to pav street assessments it
has been mndc popular: doubts ami
niisgivines have changed to opto
mism. The details of the extension
of time for paving assessments have
been worked out and the grent ma
jority are meeting their assessments
promptly. The erv.of formerly that
it can't be' done-litis been changed to
wo can nnd will do it.
''The second steni that of refund
ing the bonds has been accomplished
thanks to the foresight of the mayor
at no cost to the city and the bor i's
are now selling on the market nt the
highest price ever auoted for Med
ford improvement bonds.
Refund Bonds First Time
"Meantime the old policy of re
funding bonds instead of paving- them
off has been thrown in the discard
and $40,000 of them have been paid
off in iwo years whereas in the 30
odd years of the city's existence
heretofore not one cent had been paid
off. This is not all. instead of as
formerly, wondering where the money
was coming from to pav off street
improvement bonds $48,000 of these
have been paid off and last but not
least some $30,000 put in tlio water
fund for sinking and depreciation as
against hardly a thousand a veur in
past times and this is being invested
in government and other bonds -at
5 per cent. .
"There remains the work of mak
ing adjustments with those who are
nnable to meet their obligations and
helping them to save their properties
and the turning of as manv of these
as possible into assets for them and
the city. . '
"In conclusion let me sav that I
am very glad to have had a little part
in this work and that it has been o
real pleasure to have been asso
ciated with vou in the working out of
these problems.

; . ORIGIN OF MEDICINE
- The ageqts employed for the treat
ment of disease are taken from the
three kingdoms of naturo, tho veg
etable, animal and mineral. Most
medicinal substances are taken from
the vegetable kingdom and consist of
leaves, flowers, seeds, barks aud
roots. The old-fashioned root and
herb .remedy, I.ydla R. Plnkhnm's
Vegetable Compound, which owes Us

constantly grown In popularity and
