TEN DOLLARS NOW
Membership in Raleigh
Chamber of Commerce.
Expect to Put in Active Efforts to Make
Chamber Strong Force to Further
Develop RaIeigh's
Interest.

The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce
had an interesting meeting last night,
and in an effort to make the chamBet'
of greater value to Raleigh an i'm
portant step was taken.
This is for the reorganization of the
body on broader lines of work, and the
initial step was in the plan for raising
funds of from 81 500 to $4,000 a year,
and the securing of a trained secretary
for development work. To secure the
funds the bylaws were changed so as
to make the yearly dues SO q year,
in place of one dollar ten dollars to
be paid by new members on joining,
this to pay for years dues from AU-
gust, each member of the present body
to pay SO in August, so as to make
all pay SO apiece.
A committee of ten is to be APP
pointed to canvass for new members
There are now about 100 members,
and of these II have paid up their
dues of one dollar each with some
eight or ten who will pay. AT last
nights session nineteen members said
they would pay so a year. COM
mittee of three, consisting of Messrs.
J. Fl. Cutler, Joseph G. Brown and
w. N. Jones, was appointed to prepare
a revised set Of bylaws to meet new
conditions. Mr.. Geo. Allen, who for
eight years, as secretary, is largely re-
sponsible for Keeping the Cahmber
alive gave notice that with the in
creased duties, requiring all the time
of q man, that. he would resign hi
position.
In the absence Of the president.
Judge r. B. Womack, the meeting was
presided over by Mr.. w w Robar Is.
The meeting devoted Itself first to con-
sidering the report of the committee
made at the last meeting concerning
REQ organization, and on motion of Mr.
w. ~ Jones the question OF ten dol
lars from each member year, in place
Of one dollar, was discussed
There was no opposition to this in
crease except that various members
wanted to know what new work was
to be undertaken. Mr.. ]. Il. POgue
presented a resolution looking to q
canvass for new members with a paid
secretary at n salary of from $1,000 to
$500 to devote his entire time to
work for the upbuilding Of Raleigh,
and this was discussed. The view
expressed by n number was that def
mite work should be specified, and
others said that with the larger mem
bership fee, the chamber might lose
but the voice of the ma
iority was for ten dollars as a fee.
The matter was discussed by Messrs. |

chicken Tor IpvnIids.

Some people think it would be i'm possible to boil less than whole chick en to produce a satisfactory result and. as an invalid can only eat a very small portion. the rest would have to be eaten by other perSons-a needless eN- travagauce, as a half or even a quarter of fowl can be prepared thus, and so both monotony and waste can be avoid ed.
 IL possible, stew the piece in stock, enough to cover the chicken, but if this is not at hand put an onion, a carrot and a few pieces of bacon rind into the water to give it flavor. Bring the nould to the boil, put in the piece of chicken, boil for minute and then pull back the pan on the fire and sim- mer gently until the chicken Is tender.
 When 1t is done take 1t out and make a sauce by adding to one cupful of the stock fin which 1t was boiled four table spoonfuls of milk and beaten egg. Stir this over the fire for minute or two, but do not let 1t boil and serve while hot.
