REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Originated
Cognomen That Has Now Be-
come Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
ON the idea OF naming his steam
boats cabins instead of numbering
them. So he named them in honor Of
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title OF some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea.
and thus the word cabin was grad
ually alternated by state" room. For
years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriQuet died
with the ebbing glory Of the old river
steamers. But the word 'stateroom"
became incorporated into our Ian
guage. and in time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in thou
sand WAC occupies q stateroom knows
the term cnce meant "a room named
for q state"

of good tonic laxative the great major
ity Of cases Of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is remedy that should be kept
in the house. It's virtue as q preventive
to disease is the thing I wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition Of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels,
biliousness, re-absorption o. poisonous ma
terisl and finally sickness. Or apathy Of
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one Of these conditions
few doses Of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as .
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place. With
few doses of Peruna q vigorous appetite IL
produced and il there be any sluggishness
Of the bowels their function IL gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
