BEAT REPEAL EON
EIS
County and city authorities were
consulting law books and city ordi
nances today, to find out what can
be done, if anything, about citizens
who start selling spirituous liquors
before the state of Oregon can get
Its liquor control law into operation.
Reports were telephoned to the dis
trict attorney and chief of police late
yesterday that one or two establish
ments in this city had "Jumped the
repeal gun," and were dispensing al
leged bonded liquor. The state law
is not expected to be ready for action
for at least a week, and It will take
some time to set up the machinery,
therefore the enterprising are figur
ing on gathering in the coin In the
interim.
District Attorney George A. Codding
reports there Is no state law that
covers the situation and there Is noth
ing the state can do about It, until
the special session of the legislature
does something. Besides, the county
has no Jurisdiction on the sale, with
in the corporate limits. The statutes
against drunken driving and sale to
minors are the only ones remaining
In force. It Is said.
City Attorney Prank P. Parrell re
ports that the city has no ordinances
covering the case, except a provision
that the liquor shall not be consumed
. in the place where it is sold. As soon
as the state law is received, city ordi
nances will be revised and remodeled
to conform with the state law.
The federal law requires that a reve
nue stamp be on each bottle, whether
sold by glass, or bottle. Violation of
this provision calls for two years in
prison, or 95000 fine, or both.
Regulations, nation, state and city,
are now meager, and there seems
nothing much that can be done.
The legal whiskey supply In these
parts Is not large and what there is
Is expensive. Medicinal liquor. 17
years old, standard brands of yore,
with age marked on the revenue
stamp, sells for from $3 to $3.50 per
pint, too high for the average pocket
book. There Is a cheaper brand that sells
for $1.75 per pint, in a bVown bot
tle, with a label claiming the contents
was distilled in Kentucky, but bear
ing no revenue stamp. It is called
"blended whiskey." and purported to
be four years old. Imbibers claim
It has a very familiar taste, but is In
a fancier bottle than the undisguised
moonshine of the last 13 years, and
seems to have too much "extract of
Bourbon" coloring fluid.
It Is also reported that folks who
know their way around can procure
at 25c per serve, all species of gin
fizzes, cocktails, rlckeys, sherry flips,
Tom and Jerry and eggnogs, but they
don't taste like they thought they
would.
Six hundred little boys and girls
in Jackson county were made happy
last Christmas by the toys sent them
through the efforts of the Lady Lions
and the Medford fire department,
and for this reason persons who have
discarded 'or broken toys that might
be repaired or repainted are request
over by the Lady Lions, who are
articles might be ready for this sea
son. Members of the flro department
are rebuilding and repainting the
toys, and the dolls are being fixed
over by the Lady Llonh, kho are
also making attractive dresses for
them. They will be distributed by
the Lady Lions to the unfortunate
children who would not otherwise
have a merry Christmas.
Last year a number of business
houses aided by 'contributions, and
this year Montgomery Ward & Co.
has donated enamel for the reflnlsh
Ing work.
Persons who have toys that might
be made presentable are requested
to call Mrs. H. T. Hubbard, 834-T,
or Mrs. C. W. Reames, 450. Anyone
knowing of children who will prob
ably not receive any gifts otherwise,
is also asked to call either of the
above numbers.

FINE LAW POINTS EKED
IN SUIT FOR REPAIR OF
ANCIENT MODEL AUTO
A civil action, Involving an auto,
that had more value after it was
wrecked and repaired than before the
collision, la up before Justice of the
Peace W. R. Coleman Tor decision, fol
lowing testimony and arguments yes
terday. A number of fine legal points
will have to be weighed and pon
dered. Lee Bechtold Is suing the Crater
Lake National Park company for
(91.05. alleging the park atage struck
the Bechtold auto on the left side,
causing general and severe damage to
the vehicle. The accident la said to
have occurred on the Crater Lake
highway on September 6, 1631, early
In the afternoon.
The defense contends that the auto,
a Ford of the vintage of 1026, was
only worth $40, and that after the re
pairs had been made it "exceeded its
own value." A supreme court de
cision holds that a vehicle la only
worth what tt was worth, before ah
accident befell, not what It was worth
after repairs.
A Ford expert testified that a 1926
model T was worth be.wteen "435 and
$40. and might be sold for $45, if re
conditioned." The plaintiff claimed that George
Pratt, the driver of the stage, told
him after the smash, to get the car
fixed and charge the same to the
Crater Lake Park company.
The bill of particulars listed 29
Items, from a front axle to a box of
tacks, as used in the repairs, and 26
hours of labor by Bechtold, himself
an auto mechanic.

Geo. J. Hartman, Oregon state
manager for the Occidental Life In
surance company, who was In Med
ford for a few days last week, an
nounces the appointment of Earl C.
Gaddis aa special agent In Medford
for his company. In making the
announcement, Mr. Hartman stated
that Earl Gaddis needs no Introduc
tion to the citizens of this commun
ity and wit.h Mr. Gaddis appoint
ment, Mr. Hartman further stated
that In the issuance of the new fam
ily Independence and savings policy.
"Old Ironsides," his company has
taken the greatest step forward In
the annals of life Insurance.
"In thla new deal,' says Mr. Hart
man, "old sound legal reserve life
insurance signs Its declaration of In
dependence from the policy loan.
'Old Ironsides' sets free the life In-1
s u ran ce policy from Its entangling
alliance with the cash value and
makes It the servant Instead of the
tyrant. At last the Occidental has
recognized the fact that the cash
value la the policyholder's own mon
ey and policy loan Interest has been
swept away.
" 'Old Ironsides' pays its full cash
value, plus the full Insursnce In the
policy. It permits cash withdrawals
without payment of Interest and
without decreasing the Insurance.
This is truly a 'new deal' in life In

a common ailment: constipation
It dulls energy, often causes head

Correct constipation by eating a

"bulk" to exercise the intestines,
and vitamin it to tone the intestinal

The "bulk" in Ail-Bran is
similar to that of lettuce. Within
the body, it becomes a soft mass,
which gently clears the intestines
of wastes. How much better than
using pills and drugs so often
