In The Days Of Long Ago Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago January 25, 1917 HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE Anaheim and Hollywood high schools will debate at the latter city tomorrow night, the subject being, "Resolved, that the alien land law of California should be modified so as to include all aliens ineligible to citizenship in the United States from further acquisition of real estate in California." Arthur Osborne and Arthur Bradley will uphold the affirmative for Anaheim. STREET LIGHTS Many applications for new street lights have been received by the city council, and they are being granted as fast as conditions will permit. It is the intention of the trustees to have an electric light on every street corner in town, but it will take a little time to accomplish this much desired improvement. Many outlying streets are at present inadequately lighted and for safety first devices, if for no other, the council will see to it that all streets in the city are properly illuminated. JOSEPH HELMSEN Joseph Helmsen reached his 56th birthday, Tuesday. Numerous members of the Masonic lodge, Eastern Star and other friends called during the day to congratulate him. 50 Years Ago January 21, 1892 EXERYBODY TALKING Everybody is talking sugar. The refinery is an assured fact and will, no doubt, be erected in time to handle the coming season's crop of beets. Twenty-eight hundred shares had been subscribed up to last night, and it is confidently expected the 200 remaining shares necessary to form the corporation will be received today or tomorrow. The sugar beet meeting at Kroeger's hall Saturday was largely attended. Mr. Capitain went over the ground for the benefit of those who had not heard him before. He expressed gratification at the advances made in less than five weeks. By placing the order for the machinery before Feb. 1, we will save $40,000 in import duty. This machinery comes from abroad, and it takes four months to make it. By ordering it Feb. 1 it can be got to New Orleans by the middle of June. The import duty takes effect on July 1. If 3,000 shares are subscribed on Saturday, the stockholders meeting can be held on Tuesday and the charter for the corporation may be got from Sacramento in a week or two. Alexander Henry said he had great confidence in this sugar factory. JUNIOR AUXILIARY A review of the book, "Your Man of Caracas," by T. R. Ybane was given by Mrs. H. D. Newkirk at the program presented to members of the Junior auxiliary of Presbyterian church at the home of Mrs. Harwood Lawson on Clementine st. Monday night.

ACCEPTED POSITION W. E. Bartlett has accepted a position as manager for the business affairs of Drs. Johnston, Beebe, Clark, Davis, Wickett, and Jackson, with offices at the sanitarium. M. E. Beebe is retained as manager of the Anaheim sanitarium. BY ORDERING IT Feb. 1 it can be got to New Orleans by the middle of June. The import duty takes effect on July 1. If 3,000 shares are subscribed on Saturday, the stockholders meeting can be held on Tuesday and the charter for the corporation may be got from Sacramento in a week or two. Alexander Henry said he had great confidence in this sugar factory. He had raised beets on his place west of town, and had analyzed them himself and found they went 16 per cent sugar. Captain Hilliker or Garden Grove said that if Anaheim wanted the Garden Grove and Westminster trade now was their opportunity to get it by cooperating in this sugar factory. Dr Paschall said it would be a good speculation for a man to take as many shares as he had acres. There is no risk in doing so. It costs $30 an acre to raise beets, and they bring, at the least calculation, $60 an acre. After the sugar is made, the government comes along with its bounty of two cents per pound for the sugar produced. CLERK WICKHAM County Clerk Wickham was married at Columbus, Ohio, on the 12th instant to Miss Laura Seifert, sister of Mrs. John Beatty, Jr., of Santa Ana. The happy couple returned home a day or two ago. They are welcomed by a host of warm friends who unite in wishing them a long and happy life. STREETS GRADED The streets of the city are being graded.

But too often these vitamins are lost before they reach the family table! Here are three of the ways a Certified Performance gas range will help you save precious vitamins. Get full information—ask a dealer or your gas company for the free leaflet, How to Save Vitamins with a CP Gas Range. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VITAMIN-SAVING 1 Use little water in cooking. 2 Cook vegetables for the shortest possible time. 3 Cover utensils to keep air out. 4 Avoid unnecessary stirring of vegetables. 5 Don't put in baking soda to brighten food colors. 6 Don't throw away vegetable liquids—use them in soups or cream sauces. 7 Start vegetables in boiling water. 8 Keep foods as fresh as possible—use dependable automatic refrigeration. 9 Serve plenty of green vegetables. 10 Serve foods soon after cooking. 11 Broiling is preferable to frying to retain vitamins. 12 Low-temperature roasting saves vitamins, minerals. "I LIKE THE SPEED of my CP gas range. The special giant burner gives me extra time for other duties, and the accurate oven control does away with tedious watching. I know, too, that it's far more economical to cook with gas." (Figures show it costs only a third as much as with the next-best fuel.)
