FOOD PALACES

Popular ideas about food are strange
admixture of truth and fiction, according to
recent article by DR.. Lieb, an authority on
diet. Particularly is this the case with re-
spect to notions of what is good for people,
or not good for them, under varying circum-
stances.
For example, bananas and nuts were long
thought to be hard to digest, but if the ba-
nanas are ripe and the nuts are chewed suf-
ficiently they are among the most easily di-
gestible of foods.
The prejudice against raw foods is .slss
unwarranted it is said. Raw corn, wheat and
other starches in moderate amounts are COM
pletely digested, while raw potatoes are 70
per cent digestible. The craving of some chill
dren for raw potatoes may be INDUCED to a
reasonable extent without harm, and the
same is true of raw cabbage and lettuce.
Drinking water during meals was long
thought to be harmful to the digestion, but
for normal persons it is now declared to be
beneficial if slipped in between swallows of
solid food.
Forcing children to eat spinach or other
foods which they do not like is not good for

BIG NEWS OF 1880

Recently Kent Cooper, head Of the AS
ISOLATED Press, selected what he considered
the ten biggest news stories of 1880. We pass
them along so that our readers may see how
his judgment compares with theirs.
These are not intended to represent
necessarily the most important happenings of
the year, although most of them are of first
Importance, but the stories which were most
dramatic, exciting, or otherwise filled with
human interest. Here are Mr.. Cooper's Sc
lections:
Finding of the bodies of Andree and his
balloon companions in the Arctic after Sc
years.
Coste and Bellonte's westward flight
across the Atlantic, Paris to New York
Crash of the British dirigible R-1O1,
with loss of 48 lives.

The Herald notes with pleasure that
James Ponsford, who owned and liquidated
the Westport State Bank without one cent
loss to the depositors few years ago, is be-
ing prominently mentioned as the man whom
Civ. Floyd Olson will appoint as superin-
tendent of Banks. The Herald is quite sure
that if Gov. Olson selects Mr. Ponsford for
this important position the appointment will
give general satisfaction with the country
bankers. Mr.. Ponsford had had long years
of experience in the country banking game

HERALD ADDS EQUIPMENT TO MEET
COMMUNITY NEEDS

Friday morning machiniStS will start
tearing down the Cottrel 2-revolution news
paper press which has seen service in the
Herald office for the past Is years.
The machine will be replaced by the lat
est model 56-inch Huber Hodgman press di-
rect electrically driven.
The change is costing the Sank Centre
Publishers, Inc, tidy sum of money, but
with the large increase in the Herald's cir
culation press of more varied capacity and
speedier was absolutely essential if the paper
was to accept news up to the latest possible
minute and still make the mails on schedule
time Thursday.
The publishers have long desired to in
crease the size of the Herald's pages but the
Cottrel would not permit. Within a few
months the Herald will be increased to eight
22-inch columns per page instead of 7-column
20-inch size at present.
With the installation of the Huber Hodg-
man the Herald equipment will consist of a
battery of two typesetting machines
model CSM Intertype and Model K Limo
type, carrying six magazines, both equipped
with electric melting pots, one 1Ox15 and one
9x12 New Style Chandler & Price job
presses. Every machine in the shop is driven
by an individual electric motor. The first
week in December an electric casting box of
5-column capacity was installed, also Van
Ducook No. IA press.
The new press was designed for fine
book and job printing. 1t is equipped with
four form rollers and four distribution roll
ers, with vibrators on both the form and dis
tribution which insures adequate and per-
feet ink distribution.
Besides the above the 32-inch Diamond
paper cutter, perforator, punch, wire stitcher
and an abundance of the latest faces of type
and other equipment will make the Herald
plant one of the most complete to be found
in any community newspaper office in the
northwest.
In the past four years the Sank Centre
Publishers, Inc, have invested large sums in
adding to and undermining the Herald equip
ment. They have faith in Sank Centre and
Western Stearns and desire to publish a
newspaper which will continue to be well
coined into the vast majority of homes of
the community.
1t is quite generally admitted that the
rural weekly newspaper reflects the stability
and progress of any community. The Her
aid aims to create favorable impression for
Sank Centre, always, and the new Huber
Hodgman will enable the publishers to place
the standard of newspaper efficiency on q
higher level than the Herald has ever at
tanned before.
