Elderberry wine, dandelion wine and wine from other fruits and ingredients shared honors with the grape. And our grandmoth ers always took pains to see that there was a supply on hand of "blackberry cordial,"* which was supposed to have sovereign value in digestive disturb ances. Probably blackberry cordial would come under the prohibition ban today, for it certainly was "intoxicating in fact." But one needed a capacity far beyondthe ordinary to consume enough of the old-fashioned home-made wines to become intoxicated by them. ST. BERNARD In ordering Italian border guards to fire on the monks of St. Bernard when they crossed the Italian border to res cue some snowbound travelers, the Fas cist government outraged the humane sensibilities of the whole world. The llospice and monastery of St Bernard, founded in the year 926 by Bernard de Menthon, is more than a Swiss insti tution; it is enshrined in the heart of the whole Christian world. Who has not heard of the men who give their lives to save others, as these monks have done for a thousand years? Situated 8,120 feet above sea level, at the summit of the oldest-trav elled pass across the Alps, the Hospice is a refuge for travellers?though mo torists are not especially welcome? and the home of the famous St. Bern ard dogs. These great creatures, stand ing three feet tall, arc a breed especi ally dev eloped by the monks, with thick hair to withstand the cold, keen noses to smell stray travellers caught in the snowstorms, and great strength to drag th> m to safety or run swiftly for aid. More than 20,000 persons every year spend the night at the Hospice. No charge is made, but everybody la sup posed to contribute the price of a night's lodging 4o the little church there. HELIUM Instead of being a rare gas. obtain able only at a high cost, as it was a few years ago, helium, the lightest of all the elements except hydrogen, is now obtained in practically unlimited quantities from the Government-owned gas wells in Texks and Oklahoma. A movement has been started to in duce the President and the Secretaries of War and of the Navy to permit-the exportation of helium gas for use in commercial airships in other countries. Nothing could do more to aid in the development of dirigibles, and such an action on the part of our officials would go far toward better interna tional relations. But the probabilities are that the advocates of war and the timorous ones who think the rest of the world is lying in wait to pounce upon the United States, will make a vigor ous protest against letting any other nation have something which might b? used in making war upon us. HEAT The newest vision of science Is a substance which will take the place of steam for heating purposes. Diphenyl, a substance obtained from benzine, is said by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers to be much better for this purpose. It is a solid which melts at a temperature of 157 degrees and vaporizes at 492 degrees. A house heating plant using diphenyl would have boiler and pipes full of this sulid, which would gradually become liquid as the fire was started, and would circulate through pipes and ra diators like water. It holds heat better than steam, and is said to give off more of the heat from the boiler furnace than steam does. HfV. w * NOW tHAT TOM EDISON *AY* ME.

First, Good furniture is the cheapest that it has been in twenty five ( years. . ^ V ' . * < Second, It will not be this cheap long. While we hear so much about depression, we must remember that One Dollar now will buy as much as three dollars would buy five years ago in good living room, dining room and bedroom furniture, practically everything in our line. n No home in Jackson County needs to want for furniture. Buy now while furniture is cheap and pay when money is plentiful. MEDFORD Furniture Co. A $*reat line of New Coats for Women and Children in a wide variety of colors; shades; styles and sizes.
