Friends Of Graham r, Hobsont

To PUT OYSTERS
IN POWDERED FORM
HAMPTON MAN DISCOVERS PRO
CESS TO RESERVE FLAVOR OF
LUSCIOUS BTyALyE.

HAMPTON, VA, May 24.--Captain
Frank w. Darling. the largest oyster
packer in the South, and whose plant
is located here has perfected a process
by which the succulent bivalves can
be puTverized and reduced to pow
der retaining at the same time its
original favor and nutritious quail
ties
The oyster when thus reduced can
be bottled and kept indefinitely.
In this form. 1t is claimed, shipm ent
can he made to any part of the world.
where before II was impracticable TO
ship owing to the perishable nature
Of this commodity.
1t il further claimed by the inventor
that the oyster. in this form will be
indispensable in hospitals and sick
rooms for making broths and other
strength giving foods. Captain Oar
ling conceived the idea few years
ago and began actual experiments six
months ago building a laboratory in
his plant here for the purpose and
having associated with him in the ex-
periments a government representa-
tive from the United States.
In making the tests special ma
chinery had 10 be made and installed.
and il was only last week that the eff
forts Of the experimenters were
crowned with success The process.
as far as could be learned, Is that the
oyster is first put through a formula
which evaporates the natural juices.
leaving a dry pulpy matter which re-
spends readily to the puiverizing mill,
producing a whitish. yellow powder
somewhat lighter in color than dry
mustard.
To this product is then added GER
tain ingredient. which Is the real Sc
cret, to the powder which Captain
Darling claims restores to the crushed
oyster its original flavor This new
product, or rather by-product OF the
oyster industry will be known IA "oys-
ters'' and company has already been
formed for its manufacture of wealthy
New Workers. who have been here
during the final experiments. 1t Is
said by the promoters OF this enter
prise that this product will be on the
market in the next few months. II
is thought that the plant for the man
ufacture of these goods will be To-
Gated here.
