IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Continent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1877 Horse thieves are on the rampage. On Thursday evening the horse of C. M. Woodruff was taken from in front of his news depot on Center street. He offers a reward for him. On the same night three horses were stolen from Mr. Hinde, of the brewery, and two from Mr. Spees, the blacksmith. And in Santa Ana, on the same night, Mr. Hickey, the stable man, had three of his horses stolen. There are several townships yet to hear from. Capt. George C. Knox had his hand badly bruised yesterday. He was engaged in regulating some part of the machinery of his new printing press, when his hand was caught by a spring. No bones were broken, but it will require some time for the wounds to heal. The main pipe which supplies water to Mr. Kroeger’s building, on Center street, burst yesterday. Mr. G. D. Plato returned from San Francisco last night. He has purchased a large stock of new goods, which will soon be opened out.

There will be a race at Santa Ana on Saturday between the horses Childers and Shark; half a mile and repeat, for a purse of $300.

A sword and pen crossed appear at the base of a scroll which bears the name of the publication. A torch of wisdom forms a feature of the page, and books are scattered about. The cover was designed by Miss Martha Pratt. Landlord Yoch of Laguna has placed an order for an automobile to be used for transporting passengers between Santa Ana and Laguna.

Welch announced yesterday that 5000 income tax returns are being filed daily in his office. As only 25 working days remain before March 15, the time limit for making income tax returns, Mr. Welch urges taxpayers to give this important duty preferred attention, and thus save themselves and the employees of the internal revenue department much inconvenience, which delay involves, if taxpayers wait until the last few days preceding March 15 to file their returns. Mr. Welch announces the following simple rules to be followed in making out income tax returns: If you are single and your net income was $1500 or more in 1926, you must file a return. If you are married and your net income was $3500 or more in 1926, you must file a return. Every single person is allowed an exemption of $1500. A bonafide head of a household, whether married or not, is entitled to a personal exemption of $3500 and $400 additional for each dependent. Taxpayers making personal returns are entitled to a 25 per cent reduction in earned income up to $5000. All taxable income up to $5000 is considered as earned income. Any homemaker can become a good cotton picker at the white sales these days. Send to the United States department of agriculture for the bulletins on "Selection of Cotto Fabrics" (1449-F) and "Principles of Window Curtainting" (1516-F). These tell how to judge weaves, finishes and dyes in cotton fabrics for many uses. It is said that there are still forty-nine farms in Brooklyn, but even this is hardly enough to cause Al Smith to join the farm bloc.

A USED CAR IS ONLY AS DEPENDABLE AS THE DEALER WHO SELLS IT A Child’s Laxative which Mothers Can Rely On DR. W. B. Caldwell AT THE AGE OF 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 45 years, it seemed normal that so many complicated infants and children had to be kept "wrapped up" and half sick by taking oatmeal pills, tablets, salts, calendula and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little illness, he constantly advised mothers to give only a harmless laxative which would help to establish natural bowel "regularity." In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin mothers have a regulating laxative which they can depend upon whenever a child is constipated, hilarious, feverish or sick from a cold, indolent or sour stomach. All children love its pleasant taste. Buy a large 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine or write "Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illinois, for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE and just see for yourself how perfectly it cleanses and rejuvenates the bowels of infants and children. Dr. Caldwell's SYRUP PEPSIN 987 Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN SAY "BAYER ASPIRIN" and INSIST! Unless you see the "Bayer Cross" on tablets, you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians for 25 years.
