QUEEN DRAGA'S LAST DRESS.
Reached Belgrade from PART. wo~-.
ing After the Iff-starred
Queens Funeral.

To retain the boundless affection NJ
her royal consort, which she had gained
from the very outset, was the life-aim of
the late Queen Draga, of Servia, saws a
London exchange. And she left no
means untried to accomplish It. AS. a
lady in waiting to the Queen Mother Ma
talie, she was in the full flower of her
beauty, and 1t was then that Alexander
first saw and loved her. Beauty is SOW
ereign which needs no auxfliaries. hut
In Draga Mashin it's force was already
on the wane, and she was keenly. main.
fully conscious of the fact. Hence the
assiduity with which she studied cos
metics and all the other little arts OF
adjoining nature and pleasing man to
which ladies of certain age are wont
to have recourse Meanwhile. her Paris
dressmaker effected all that human skill,
could accomplish in the way of maxine
the lady look every inch queen, and
the last and most brilliant creation OF
the French modiste was a dress known
as the robe soleil, which left Paris on
June and reached Belgrade the MORN
ing after the ill-starred queen had been
laid in her last resting place. The color
OF the dress was ivory; it was album.
dainty trimmed with costly lace. and
was spangled with big and little figures
OF yellow suns scattering their rays as
In early morning. Only woman in the
full flush of conquest and in the height
OF power could have chosen such a cos
tune from the large number of models
submitted to her.

THE POTATOES MANY USES.
There Arc Some Wonderful Products
Manufactured from the Tuber
in Germany.

To-day Germany fairly rivals Ireland
with its potato crop and outdoes most
other countries. Fully an eighth of the
arabic land of the empire is planted to
this nutritious vegetable, says the Prov
idence Journal. Half the large yield is
used directly as human food; a consid-
cradle other portion is given over to fat
tening stock. There still remains an
enormous surplus after that, however.
and 1t Is the success with which the
Germans have met in turning this sur
plus into manufactured products that Is
most remarkable.
Among these manufactured products
are starch. glucose, potato flour, dextrin
and starch sugar, each of which ap-
pears prominently on the list of German
exports, all together contributing large
sums every year to the profit of German
manufacturers and exporters. But the
alcohol which the Germans make from
the potato is the most valuable and won
derful product of all This is a light
preduced that fairly rivals the electric
current, 1t is said.
The apparatus for its practical use in
cludes lamps. chandeliers, street and
corner lights, in which alcoholic va
por is burned like gas in a hooded flame,
covered by a Welsbach mantle. So used.
potato alcohol is described as burning
with an incandescent flame equaling the
electric light in brilliancy. Indeed, we
are officially told now by our consul gen.
eral at Berlin that potato alcohol is
competing with gas and electricity with
increasing success every year.
In the problems of heat and powerpro-
duction, too, the lowly potato has been
brought into use, and the alcohol from il
has been applied to warming and cook
ing stoves, to steam locomotives. to
thrashing, grinding, fuel cutting and
other agricultural and mechanical appli-
ances. The advantages said to be found
in its use are immediate readiness for
operation; dispensing with coal, water
and a fireman; freedom from odors and
danger of fire, and greater economy of
Possibly there is some ex-
aggeration in these claims But figures
given plainly show that the potato. as
in Germany, has produced a
real competitor for at least benzine and
petroleum for motor purposes.

GRAND CANYON, July 29.
 Mrs. H. Pyle of Williams is still the guest of Mrs. Grand.
 Conductor Martin, with his wife and daughter, visited the Canyon the past week.
 MT. and Mrs. Strait returned this week from the east. All were glad to see them home once more.
 MT. w. R. Page was a visitor at Bright Angel this week. MT. Page had as his guests at Grand View MT. Kenna and his party.
 There was a convention of babies at Bright Angel this week, and the only sad feature of it was, the babies were all boys. Does this mean there is to be war?
 MT. Kenna of Chicago, F. M. Murphy of Prescott and T. J. Nor ton of Los Angeles came out to the Canyon in a private car last night. The car of Superintendent Hubbard came out with the special train.
 MT. Buggeln started for the Cata- ract and Supai village with quite a party from the hotel this morning. They are to be met at the top of the trail with fresh horses, so as to make quick trip to their destina- tion.
 MT. Robert Barry, the agent at Bright Angel, was taken sick last week and again sent to the hospital in Los Angeles. Mrs. Dodge is working as agent during his ab- sence, or until someone else is sent to relieve her. As this is the fifth time she has been called upon to relieve agents who were taken sick, we hope the next agent will have better luck than to get sick.

The Knock Out Blow in the Solar PIexus
 This is just simply an illustra- tion of the outcome, often, of two business mems endeavors to place their goods before the public. One depends upon his goods to sell themselves, while the other adver- tises his wares in every way pos sible. The inevitable result is that the one who advertises finally lands a knockout blow on his opponent. Are you advertising? If so, you have an even break with the other fellow.
