ing of the Virginia Oyster Planters

Bridgeport, Conn, inviting the Vir-
ginia Association TO send a special
committee TO attend convention to
be held in Bridgeport on September

the season in Virginia 1t was found
impossible to send committee. At

claimed that the eating of more oys-
ters and less meat will help solve the
cost of living. The Virginia Associa
ton, in discussing the oys-r as a
panacea, promulgated the following
''If you want your parents TO live
long and happily, ask them to eat
jnysters.
"If you want your wife to remain
;young and pretty, coax her to eat
oySetrs.
"If you want to be successful bus
mess man, eat oysters.
Virginia oysters that you know are
jpure and wholesome and the kind you
want"

Since you have gone from Us,
And it seems there is no pleasure

In silence you suffered, in patience

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, we're
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea if naming his steam
boats cabinets 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
called the Texas" after the largest
state. Other boat owners took up the
idea, and thus the word cabin was
gradually 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 incorporat-
ed into our language, and in time even
broke into the dictionary, as does
many another catch phrase. Not one
person in a thousand who occupies a
stateroom knows the term once meant
"a room named for a state"
