What A Board of Trade Can Do In a recent issue of the Merchants and Manufacturer the necessity for a board of trade and its alue to a town and county is most ably pre sented: It is now eenerlly recognized by progressive merchants that the growth and development of their ommunitT 18 only second in impcr tance to them to the growth and de velopment ot thtir business, as it is practically impossible lor any busi ness to extend its scope and to be. come highly prosperous unless the community in which it is located is is itself extending its scope and growing in population and un on si ness. So it is a question of para. mount importance to every progres sive merchant: ''What can I d to add to its prosperity? What can I do to bring to it new people, new en terprise, new capital, more factories, and more industries?" Each merchant may we'l ask tie question, "How much is it worth to my business if this community doubles its population and busineee?" and, on the other hand, "How seri ously would it (Sect my business if this community lost halt the popu lation which it now possesssa?" "If the latter would effect it disastrous ly, would not the former effect it very favorably; and if this is tree, shall I not devote my energies ai d efforts as best I muj to put on foot, plans and methods which will make this town of ours growr Organiz9 a business body in your community; call it the chamber of Commerce, Board of trade, or what you like, but organize it. Hae every progressive business man, tar. mer, and citizen in ten or twenty miles of the town a member of it. Meet once each week, and let the question discussed at each meeting be: ''What can we do to advanee the interests of this community?" Keep that up fox one year, and such new life, such new enthusiasm, enter prise, and confidence in the future of the community will be developed, and so great a change will come over it for the better that every citizen in it will become its ardent advocate and a believer in its greatness. 'l'hroughout the whole South there is a very decided interest now in town and city building. The South is just beginning to ap. preciate what the Panama Canal will mean for it; that the great bulk of traffic which has been going across the continent, which has made the Western railroads rich, and through them the Western country, will be diverted to the Southern aeaports. This is going to have the same effect on the South and will bring the South as prominently into the notice of the nation as the Western country was brought twenty years ago. Enterprising merchants and busi ness men throughout the entire South are now eager for and ready to take hold of plans which mean the development of their respective communities. This issue will be read with very great interest on that account, for it contains a Dum ber of interesting and able articles written by experienced men on city building and community develop ment. There is a lure about, thins s dis. tant that the average man fiuds it hard to ret is ;. "Distance leuds en chantmtLt,1' e specially when proper ly pkyed up by the skilful adver tising writer working for an ingeni. ous land promoter. No one can deny the wisdom of land investments when the investor buys land for a home for cultivation and actual development. But much of the money plactd in circu lation land by schemes during tte iast two or three years has gone it to property which the buyer knew nothing about beyond what he read in a prospectus. This sort of "in. vestments," as a rule, is gone forever, and the experience is ex pec sive. Now that the, lend man has har vested his crop it is time for every community to get back to first prin ciple, to "develop the home place," to build bouses and improve the farms and promote the welfare of the home community. To do all this there will be no better time than the present. Every move that tends to make the home community better is a move in the Tight direction. If you have a plain, ordinary town, with sloppy streets, rows of houaea with indifferent lawns, ugly schools, and parks that look like vacant lots, it might be all right for yon who were born andbrouzht up there, but no stranger would stay in the place unless he was locked in every night, Consequently no sane manufacturer will locate there and no artisan will ' seek work there. It will iast go on being sloppy until it wears ont its beeli and gets lost at the bottom of the census lists. ' t .

Why. the whole proposition is the same aa a dry goods dealer handles every day. He keeps his window polished and displays his goods, lights his store elaborately, and ad vertises the fast tbat he has the best there is. It costs money to bum electric lights and to be neat. But doesn'c he get it all back and more: It does not take a large brain to see the point, and the American ousiness men to whom the argument has been put by these development secretaries have lost no time in giv ing them all the help they need. They have contributed money in the form cf dues and considered it as legitimate business expenses. Some times the association is called the Chamber of Commerce, sometimes the board of trade, or Commercial Club; but by whatever name it is called, it is today making dozens of American cities progress in both prosperity and beauty at a rate not dreamed of a decade ago.

Soyer, Famous London Chef. TO GO WITH THE TURKEY. By Martha McCulloch WINIams. I will now ecplain how the remain ing dishes of Hie anniversary day menu (cranberry sauce excepted) may be prepared by the paper bag method. The recipes given have all been found by actual experiment to be highly satisfactory la every re spect. Sweet Potatoes In Syrup. Choose smooth, even potatoes of medVum Bite, boll twenty minutes, drop la Cold water, peel, dip In melted butter, roll In sugar, put Into a buttered bee, with sugar, butter and lemon juice enough to make a fairly rich syrup. Seal bag, and cook for twelve minutes in a fairly hot oven. Pour the syrup from the bag around them into a hot dish. Spanish Onions. Parboil for fifteen minutes Spanish or Bermuda onions, chill them in cold water, then cut a V out of the hearts. Fill the space with butter, after dusting it well with salt and pepper, put the onions In a bag with a lump of butter and a very little water, 6eal and cook twenty minutes in a hot oven, or thirty min utes in a very moderate oue. Baked Pears. Ripe, well-flavored pears are best for baking, but the ordinary cooking pear will answer if baked with sugar, lemon juice and spices. Peel the pears, cut off the stems and take out the core, but only a little way beyond the blossom end. Stick a clove, a shred of mace or bit of cinnamon in the core-space, fill in around it with sugar and roll the fruit in dry sugar before putting it in a buttered bag. Put In half a gill of water also to the half dozen, seal bag. and cook at slow heat fifty min utes to an hour. Creamed Salsify. Boil tender, drop into cold water, peel and cut in two inch length strips, steep in a dress ing of butter and cream, lightly sea soned with pepper and salt. Put in well-greased bag, seal and leave in the oven a few minutes only. Smothered Chicken. Have a good- sized broiler cut into joints, taking care not to leave sharp bone3 to the joints. Salt and pepper them lightly, dredge with flour and lay in a well- greased bag upon thin slices of ba con. Cover with more bacon slices. taking care to keep the chicken spread rather flat. Add a teaspoonful of water, or a couple of peeled and sliced tomatoes. Shreds of green pepper add somewhat of flavor to the tomatoes. Seal in bag and cook for forty minutes, slacking heat almost half after the first five minutes. Make a peep-hole in the upper side of the bag near the middle, and if the bacon and chicken are not as brown as you like, cook five to ten minutes longer. Serve on a hot dish with gravy from the bag. Good pies demand good crust shorter than any temper, easier brok en than promises. Make It by M. Soyer's recipe, then surely It will be up to grade. Hero is the recipe: Take one pound of flour, three-quar ters of a pound of butter. Mis the flour with water and sat lightly until the consistency of butter. Leave this dough for half an hour, then flatten with your hand and lay your butter on the top of the paste. Then fold four-corner way, and give it two rolls, as usual. Leave your paste in a cool place for forty-five minutes, and then roll twice more. Leave it for forty five minutes and then roll twice again. Bake all your pies in bags; it may seem extravagant, but the gas-saving more than pays for the bags. Use thin pie tins. Roll out and fill as usual. pel palls luaiuo uago auu dcu j the bags on trivets. Cook two pies I at once, but shift them midway the cooking, from upper to lower shelf, and vice versa. Thus they will brown top and bottom. Grease the bags but lightly underneath; even though they crisp there It does no harm. The essential thing is to keep the upper surface covered and maintain steady heat. Have the oven hot at first, but slack heat after a little as soon as the bag corners show rather brown. Average pies, with average heat, require twenty-five to thirty minutes. Make peep-holes on top la the bags when you think they are done; If not brown enough, raise the heat a wee bit and cook five minutes longer. To make the cider-cup, out thinly the yellow peel from six oranges and six lemons, squeeze out the juice and put In with the peel and three cups ot sugar. Make a gallon of sweet cider very hot, but do not let It boll, pour it upon the peals and juice, and let ctand in a cold place for twenty four hours, stirring it several times. The peel can be strained out, but it looks rather pretty in glasses. For tea lemonade, take the juice of a dozen well-washed lemons and three sweet oranges, cut the squeezed fruit in rings, and add it to the juice. Put in five cupa of sugar and strain over the whole a gallon and a quarter of weak tea, boiling hot, then add a cupful ot rum. This also is better for standing it keeps several days in a cool place. The rum can be omitted If there are scruple regard ing It In that case .the strained juice of a pineapple that has been shredded and allowed to stand twenty-four hours in sugar can take Its place. - Dilute this one-fdurth : with mineral water in the glasses, '; A Full Line Of the Market's Best Groceries Prompt delivery.
