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 July 19, 1917 SALARY RAISE The city trustees at their last meeting, handed a couple of the power-house employees a raise in their salaries. The men are considered good electricians and are deserving of the advance. Just now it is difficult to secure competent mechanics, as good jobs await them in many cities, and wages are correspondingly high. Electrical workmen are receiving from $4 to $6 per day, with no prospect of the wage scale lowering until after the war is over. ORANGE COUNTY BOOKLET D. W. McDannald, Orange county's representative in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, is gathering data and views to include in a new Orange county booklet which he is preparing. The new booklet will be more than twice as large as any previous county booklet. It will consist of 28 pages of reading matter and views. Twenty-five thousand copies will be issued and placed in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. WOOLWORTH STORE OPENS Judging from the crowds that 50 Years Ago July 21, 1892 FLOUR MILL The Olive Milling company uses about 4,000 tons of wheat per year in the manufacture of flour and of this amount fully one half is procured in Southern California. A few years ago there was scarce any wheat grown south of the San Joaquin valley, but the development of this country and the water supply has been the means of transforming many acres of what was once but little better then the desert to fields of waving grain and orchards of ripening fruit. NEW BRICK BUILDING Tim Boege and Fritz Ruhman have in contemplation the erection of a brick building in their lot on Los Angeles street that will be a conspicuous ornament to the city. The building will be 75 feet front, two stories high and of highly ornamental architecture. One of the stores on the lower floor will be occupied by Bentz & Steadman as a meat market. They will put in a cold storage plant and have the finest market in the county. It is expected the other stores will be rented to enterprising parties, thus making the block a very fine HELENE KAHLEN, 73, who death at the family home, Soo street and Sunkist avenue, occurred Saturday, July 11, had lived in Anaheim for the past 28 years but was a native of German Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in Zion Luther church where she had long been a member, with the Rev. H. Schmelzer, former pastor, assisting the Rev. L. E. Eifert. Servi were under direction of the Genfeld mortuary, with burial the family plot in Anaheim center. Mrs. Kahlen was survived by her husband, John D. Kahn four daughters and three sons. They are Mrs. Martha Wesley hold, Mrs. William Trapp jr., M.Dillard Wilkerson, Anaheim; Floyd Rogers, Brea; John Kahlen, jr.; Fred T. Kahlen, Anaheim, August D. Kahlen, Olive PETER SYRE, for fifty years resident of Anaheim, and a former bakery shop owner, died at age of 77 last Thursday at Fupton General hospital. He had been living at 206 N Claudina street and was in bakery business for 25 years before retirement several years. Surviving him are a brook Anton of St. Louis; and cousins Mrs. R. O. Quarton, Frank B. August Baum, all of Anah and Otto Baum of San Diego. Rosary was held at B Campbell and Kaulbars cliff Friday evening. Requiem was Saturday morning at Boniface church and burial made in Calvary cemetery in Angeles. WOOLWORTH STORE OPENS Judging from the crowds that attended the opening of the new Woolworth 5-10-15 cent store, and upon following days, it looks as though the new firm is going to do a big business. People flocked there in droves and the large force of clerks had to hustle to wait upon the customers. PRIZE GARDEN Henry Adams gathered 300 pounds of potatoes from the Claudina street parking at his residence and is now preparing the ground for a fall crop. The strip is 30 inches wide by 130 feet in length. Mr. Adams uses manure and commercial fertilizer extensively and his vegetable garden in his back yard is probably the most productive in the city. Hen will go up to the head of the class as the champion farmer of Anaheim. JACKRABBIT HUNT Cooney Mauerhan and Burleigh Goodrich went hunting jackrabbits up in Victor valley on Sunday returning in the evening. They got the limit. They say if you take a jackrabbit after cleaning him nicely, and put him in vinegar over night, he makes a fine ingredient for a Mulligan. TRAINING COURSE Rev. M. C. Martin, pastor of the Presbyterian church, left Saturday for San Francisco to take a YMCA training course. Upon completion of the course he expects to be called into the Army YMCA work as secretary of one of the numerous buildings to be erected. County Secretary Cole also expects to attend the training school during the last week or two. CONFINED TO HOME Fritz Ruhman is confined to his home on Los Angeles street with illness, owing to advanced age. Mr. Ruhman is now in his 79th year. His many friends hope he will soon be restored to his usual good health. CAMP BALDY ACCIDENT SUNDAY While driving with his family to the Landing on Sunday an accident happened to Mons. H. Cahen which came near resulting seriously. In turning a corner of the road the carriage ran against a stump hidden by a clump of weeds and the jar knocked the spokes of one of the wheels out, precipitating the vehicle and its occupants to the ground. Fortunately no one was hurt and after an unavoidable delay the journey to the seaside was resumed in another vehicle. FASHIONABLE RESORT The camp at the Landing is taking on a lively appearance and gives evidence of becoming a very fashionable resort during the summer season. Among the new arrivals are the families of H. Cahen, A. L. Lewis, Charlie Albrecht and George Bauer. Bathing is indulged in every day. Dr. Paschall's brother lately arrived from the East has made arrangements to open a butcher shop. Prof. Frantz will establish a barber shop and will install Otto Hussman as chief razor welder. Mr. Wallop conducts a general supply store and keeps constantly on hand a full supply of goods, he calculates his customers will call for. S. Kistler has opened a branch bakery and will have on hand a choice collection of bread pies and cakes. Louis Bolz does everything in his power to make things pleasant for everybody and generally make a success of it. Altogether the Landing is a very happy place to put in one's time these hot days. LARGE CATCH OF FISH Ed Morgan, Frank Fox, Oscar Luedke and Billy Dunlap went down to the mouth of New river of a brick building in their lot on Los Angeles street that will be a conspicuous ornament to the city. The building will be 75 feet front, two stories high and of highly ornamental architecture. One of the stores on the lower floor will be occupied by Bentz & Steadman as a meat market. They will put in a cold storage plant and have the finest market in the county. It is expected the other stores will be rented to enterprising parties, thus making the block a very fine business row. Building operations will begin shortly, under the supervision of Carl Schindler, the boss brick layer in southern California. Messrs. Boege and Ruhman's enterprise is to be commended. 100 Anahiemers Enroll In Music Classes One hundred Anaheim enthusiasts of all ages were enriched this week in the summer classes given at the high school under the direction of W.Cook of the high school music department.

LARGE CATCH OF FISH Ed Morgan, Frank Fox, Oscar Luedke and Billy Dunlap went down to the mouth of New river one day last week to fish for carp and returned in the evening with a wagon load of fish. All they had to do was to wade into the water and pick the fish out by the basket full. The fish become afflicted wits lassitude when they strike the salt water of the ocean, and back up stream in great numbers rendering it easy to catch them. The boys had a very fine day's sport, and had fish to give away to all their friends when they returned in the evening.

This reduces shrinkage as much as 20% and helps meats retain vitamin-rich juices and minerals. Broiling, as a rule, is preferable to frying, to retain vitamins. FOR VEGETABLES: Use very little water. When water is essential, have it boiling first. Set gas flame to simmer heat and cook for the shortest time possible, avoiding unnecessary stirring and keeping utensils tightly covered. Don't put in baking soda to brighten vegetables. And remember—keep the liquids for use in soups and sauces. IN GENERAL: Keep foods as fresh as possible, using dependable refrigeration. And be sure to serve foods soon after cooking. Here are your week's Vitamins This convenient size fits a standard, inexpensive notebook.
