IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of Dec 30, 1871 The officers elect of Anaheim lodge. No. 297, E. and A. M., were duly installed with appropriate ceremonies on Wednesday evening last, being the anniversary of the birth of St. John, the Evangelist. The evening was appropriately terminated by a supper at the Planters' hotel, to which the members of the lodge were invited by Theo Reiser, the new W. M. The house offered to let by Mr. Arnold, is in Fairview, one of the most pleasant locations around Anaheim, and on the new road leading to Wilmington and the Landing. A New Year's ball for the benefit of Silver school district is to be given at Silver district school house on Monday, January 1st. Our citizens will find this a very opportune occasion to pay a friendly visit to our neighbors of Los Nietos. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation. Douglas Gunn, Esq., the able editor of the San Diego Union, passed through town on Saturday last on his way home. Mr. G. was an officer of the city guards of San Francisco when we had the honor of training, as a high private in that company. We have shouldered arms and drauk champagne under the same flag and feel for our brother of the Union a strong bond of fraternal fellowship that binds all editors together. From Gazette of Dec 31, 1896. Count Bozenta and Madame Modjeska were guests of Mrs. Langenberger over Christmas. They took their departure Saturday for the north, after an enjoyable visit of several days. The Madame's health has been restored sufficiently to permit of her appearance upon the stage, and she will begin the winter season in San Francisco the coming month. The opening play has not yet been definitely determined upon, but the count informs us that it will probably be "Magda." Prof. Crowther, leader of the Fullerton band, was in town Tuesday afternoon and gave out the information that the indications were good for a big crowd at the fifth annual masquerade hall to be given by the band at Chadbourne's hall in Fullerton this evening. The boys deserve and will doubtless have a big crowd to dance the old year out and the new year in with them. Ray Julian, of Long Beach, brother of Will Julian, of this city, came over on his wheel on Sunday to spend the day. Ray is an expert bicyclist and makes the run from Long Beach hither, a distance of eighteen miles, in an hour and a half. Drs. Ball and Dryer, of Santa Ana, were over on Tuesday morning to consult with Dr. Perdomo.

We have had plenty of rain at last and everybody is happy. The rainfall at Anaheim now measures 5-8 inches this season. At Mr. Olden's ranch the fall was not so large, the difference being caused, it is supposed, by the trees at Anaheim. The common council met in regular session at 3 p.m., Dec. 26, with Messrs. Champlin, Boege, Davis, Bittner and President Zeyn present. The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. A communication from the mayor was received returning ordinance No. 20 without his signature. The veto of the mayor was unanimously sustained. On motion of Mr. Champlin, the city attorney was instructed to draw up another ordinance, removing therefrom the objection raised by his honor, the mayor. Mr. Gardner delivered to the common council the law books ordered and on motion they were accepted. The finance committee reported with their approval the following bills, which were ordered paid: Heimann and George, $60.43; P. Davis & Bros., $2.50; R. Melrose, $100; P. A. Clark, $3.50; A. Kohler, $3. President Zeyn reported the buckets and hooks and ladders ready to be delivered over to the fire company, and on motion, he was instructed to do so and take his receipt for same. A petition was received from citizens and taxpayers of Anaheim, requesting the common council to order an election for the purpose of ascertaining the will of the people to donate or not to the Anaheim Railway company bonds to the amount of $15,000, payable in twenty years, bearing 7 per cent interest per annum, and to be issued when the road is completed. After a lengthy discussion, on motion of Mr. Champlin, the city attorney was requested to draw up and present at the next meeting, an act in compliance with said petition, but with some modifications to be submitted to the legislature.

Ball and Dryer, of Santa Ana, were over on Tuesday morning to consult with Dr. Perdomo. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Groat entertained a number of friends informally at a card party at their home on Tuesday evening. Agent Claybaugh, of the Santa Fe, informs us that a change in his company's train schedule is looked for to go into effect about Jan. 6th. One and possibly two new trains will be put on. Wesley Almes and A. Pierroti, two of the substantial citizens of Placentia, were in town yesterday and informed us the masquerade ball to be given by the Fullerton band in Chadbourne's hall this evening will be the event of the season. Marshal Steadman is lamenting the loss of his fountain pen, which some one felionously inclined abstracted from his office in the city hall. He is undecided whether to regard the orange growers who recently held a session in the hall as the guilty parties or to look with suspicion upon the city clerk. One of the most enjolable of the Christmas entertainments was given by Mr. and Mrs. P. Weisel at their beautiful home on last Friday evening. In one of the parlors a large Christmas tree shone forth in splendor. In the adjoining parlor a small stage was erected which was used by the young ladies to present a number of beautiful tableaux. Refreshments were served in bounteous style. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. P. Weisel and children, Mr. and Mrs. Huch, Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Larsen, Mr. and Mrs. W. Mickle, Mrs. Hiltscher and sons and Prof. and Mrs. Reiser. Deputy Sheriff Jack Landell was over from Santa Ana on Monday afternoon serving subpoenas in a suit concerning a Riverside paper.

On motion, the former petition of the railway company was laid on the table. The council then adjourned to Monday, Jan. 8, 1872. Theodore Rimpau, clerk. Christmas passed merrily and was most heartily enjoyed by all. All were happy at receiving the rain, and so pleasant a holiday has not been seen for years at Anaheim. Want of space precludes any extended notice of the various festivities. Mr. Gustave Davis, of the old established house of Philip Davis and Bro., has returned from an extended tour through northern California and Nevada. He reports plenty of snow in that country. Nowing well of water has just been struck on Mr. McChesney's place in Westminster at a depth of only 75 feet. It was obtained in three days' boring. One of the happiest results of the rain that many of our friends, engrossed in sheep raising who had been obliged to leave, to seek other pastures for their flocks, are now returning and will abide without a trace. We have had the pleasure of a man who has lived here for several years. Al Smith was in town yesterday and informed us that a ten-pound baby boy arrived at his home on the 19th. This makes two boys that Al has and their oa thinks they are a first rate pair to draw to. REPORT OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT COMMISSION The general interest in the operation of the California workmen's compensation, insurance and safety act makes the information of value as presented in the annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921. The report is in the hands of Governor Wm D. Stephens and copies are obtainable by applying to the industrial accident commission. The statistical information concerning industrial injuries is compiled for the calendar year 1920 to conform with the practice of other states. The industrial deaths for 1920 numbered 592, as compared to 586 in 1919. Permanent injuries to the number of 1929 were reported, as against 1714 for 1919. The temporary injuries were 131,587, as contrasted to 105,952 in 1919. While these figures show a substantial increase in the temporary injuries, the far more important death list shows a decrease of 2.60 in 1920, as compared to 1919, based on the population of California. There were 490 compensable deaths out of the 592, and 102 occurred in employment outside of the scope of the compensation act. Manufacturing was responsible for 115 deaths; railroad, vessel and stevedoring operations for 104 deaths; construction for 89 deaths; public utilities for 66 deaths; mining, quarrying and oil producing for 60 deaths; agriculture for 59 deaths, and the remaining 99 deaths came from varied classifications. There were 183 deaths caused by vehicles, which includes the operation of boats, cars, automobiles and wagons; machinery was the cause of 102 deaths; electricity caused 48 deaths, and explosion of firearms caused 8 deaths. In 1920 there were 3 women killed while at work, as compared to 9 women in 1919. CAMPAIGN TO TEACH CHILDREN CORRECT DIET A campaign to improve the diet standards of children of school age was recently conducted in Akron, O. As a preliminary step 1011 children were weighed and measured under the direction of school authorities. Of these children 58 per cent were underweight, nearly a fourth of these being more than 10 per cent underweight. On the suggestion of the home demonstration agent of the United States department of agriculture and state agricultural college the children were given one-half pint of milk in the middle of the morning and the other underweight children were merely taunted how to improve their weight themselves. At the close of the second month it was found that 67 per cent of all the children underweight had made some gain. At this time the agent met with mothers of these children to demonstrate the results of improved diet and to explain how to plan balanced meals. In this demonstration 60 boys and girls who had the largest underweight percentages were selected for physical examinations, babe by a physician in the presence of the parents. Each mother was told what the proper average weight for age and height is. She was given a health card on which to record her child's health habits for a week. The record was to show the number of hours of sleep daily and a complete diet list, which was to be filled out and used according to instructions given by the home demonstration agent. Other health habits such as deep breathing and teeth brushing, were also to be recorded. The demonstration was followed by weekly conferences of the mothers of underweight children with the doctor, nurse and home demonstration agent, at which the health record for the week was examined, the weekly weights taken, and additional instruction... When she has reached the end of her journey she has come to the home of her husband and must bear the candid criticism of the whole family. The wedding ceremony is nothing more than a rice affair. Instead of throwing it, the guests eat it. The husband-and-wife-to-bet eat rice from each other's bowl, then mix the rice and both eath from the same bowl—and they are married. Of course there is a feast, but the custom makes it such that the American father of a reception-giving bride might envy the Chinese father of the bride. Every guest contributes something and so it costs very little. There are two kinds of strikes that ought to be encouraged—the strikes of husbands whose wives demand all the money for their own use, and the strikes of wives for their share of the family income. A man may be as homely as a hip-popotamus, but some woman will say, "He has beautiful eyes." J. H. COLE, M. D.

There were 183 deaths caused by vehicles, which includes the operation of boats, cars, automobiles and wagons; machinery was the cause of 102 deaths; electricity caused 48 deaths, and explosion of firearms caused 8 deaths. In 1920 there were 3 women killed while at work, as compared to 9 women in 1919. The stafistics show that following the 592 industrial deaths there were 717 total dependents as the result of 329 fatalities; 94 partial dependents were left in 52 fatal cases; in 166 fatal cases there were no dependents, and in 45 fatal cases the degree of dependency was unknown. The average of the widows was 36.9 years. The dependent children averaged 7.9 years. These averages show the need for considering further needs. In 16 cases of serious and permanent injuries life pensions were awarded. There was 15 such cases in 1919. Injuries that caused a time loss of over 7 days numbered 33,919. The remaining temporary injuries did not last longer than the waiting period. You never bought anything "as good as new" unless it was new. WEDDINGS IN CHINA On her wedding day the Chinese bride is clad in red and carried in a sedan chair covered with red. Any person who wishes play turn back the chair curtains and have a look at the bride. Hayseed takes the place of rice and confetti. The bride's hair is elaborately oiled, so when the girls throw hayseeds at her they stick.

The transmitter of the telephone is the result of years of study and experimentation by telephone engineers. It is of delicate adjustment and its fullest effectiveness can only be obtained through proper use. The lips should not be more than an inch from the transmitter, and the voice should be clear, not loud. Speak directly and distinctly into the mouthpiece. This will mean your satisfaction and that of the person with whom you are talking. Johnston-Wickett Clinic Clinic Building, Anaheim DR. H. A. JOHNSTON DR. W. H. WICKETT DR. H. D. NEWKIRK DR. J.
