"Alcohol," says the Philadelphia Kecord, "might be dis stilled from potatoes In quant. ty suf ficient to light, heat and supply power to nil the Northern States of the Union, and at such a low cost as to supplant kerosene and gasoline.

Hut there are potatoes yielding many more bushels per a than these esteemed for food. They are such as are grown for cattle food In parts of the old world where corn is scarce. Secretary of Agriculture II- son estimates that there would be no difficulty In obtaining 500 gallons of alcohol per acre from such a variety, roiatoes can now be grown iiere as a commercial crop only within a short distance from market. It does not p;.., to haul them far. Put as soon a they can be used as a source of heat. light and power, factories wil spring up In country neighborhoods where turod (or undrlukable) alcohol back Into Us original condition would bo much more than for making pure al cohol anew, accordlug to lr. Wiley. He thinks the best method of making It undrlukable would be the addition of ten per cent, wood alcohol anil one per cent, of "pyridine." According to the bill as It passed, the denaturing Ingredients are left to tho UlscreUou of the Internal revenue tax. THE MESSAGE.

Calculable benefit; but to every man, 00 matter where he lives, it would be of some Importance." Says the Louis ville Courier Journal, after quo ng the Philadelphia Record's tribute to the coming great and almost universal blessing: "And potatoes are only one of hundreds of things from which this useful product would be distille if the tax were removed. Such a step would create in this country a prac tically new and vastly beneficial in dustry, whose benefits would be shared by the whole people as con sumers, and by hundreds of thousands of them as producers." There is scarcely a nameable limit to the pro- auction or potatoes. WOULD USE UP WASTE TRODUCTS. Potatoes, beets, corn the BtaHts as well as the grain and the waste pro ducts of our molasses factories may run our engines, cook our meals, heat and light our homes. The present tax of $1.10 per gallon on commercial al cohol renders its use for power, fuel and light absolutely out of the ques tion, although for these purposes it can be manufactured at less than 10 cents a gallon. At this rate It can sup plant both gasoline and kerosene, than which it is also safer and much cleaner. The only opponents of the bill were the wood alcohol and Stand ard Oil interests, which would be the losers. Farmers, especially, insisted upon Its passage. The white potato can readily heat, lipht and furnish power for our Northern states; the sweet p0' to. the yam and the waste from the molasses factory can do the same for our Southern states, while in the great West the sugar beet and Indian corn can turn the wueels of the factory, farm and conveyance and banish from the home the chill of winter or the blackness of night. Such is the state ment of Prof. II. W. Wiley, Chief of the government's bureau of chemistry. Sugar and starch, when fermenting, yield about half their weight in a so lute alcohol. About oiic-fifth the weight of potatoes, nearly throe quarters the weight of corn and al- coal is now expensive, and large areas of potatoes will be grown fur iheir g itest possible yield of alcohol. Tin sweet potato and yam would furnish about the same proportions of alcohol as the white potato. ALCOHOL FROM CORN AND . STALKS. An acre of corn fifty bushel will furnish 130 gallons of absolute alcohol: a bushel of corn, two and four-fifths gallons. An acre of potatoes thus alcohol Is extracted .will pay the cost or distillation. SIUAH BEETS AND MOLASSES An acre of sugar beets will produce r.'-l gallons or aicoiiol. Our vast Irrl gallon projects In the West are water ing lands which will soon produce sugar mvts more profitably, perhaps, than any other crops and the molasses from these crops can readily le turned Into alcohol. A waste product of the en e sugar mill, known us "base ino lasses," would be another avnlhtbh source of our commercial alcohol sup ply. Millions of gallons of this pro- ducod In all the Central and South American countries ami the West In uies are now largely burned, red 10 animals or destroyed, although a por tion U dumped on our shores at almost any price above freight. At New Or leans. Huston and Brooklyn It Is be ing worked up Into Inferior llijuors. 1 he alcohol made from It lias a dis agreeable odor and taste. But If re- pulsiv matter must be added to '( to make It undrlnka' 111. .1 tax-free. uiuier tne new 11111, n win serve as well as any other alcohol thus manu factured for power, bent and light. Already In Cuba such alcohol from this base molasses Is being tnude at U) cents per gallon. The base" mo lasses Itself can be had at New York at 3 cents a gallon. A similar grade f base molasses Is turned out as a by-product by our Invt sugar factories. Ten factories of Michigan send their produce to a distillery In that stale and produce from It about a half mil lion gallons of absolute alcohol. But this by-product of our beet sugar fac tories generally goes to waste lu other states. Yet we sit by and bemoan the decreasing supply and Increasing price of coal, the diminishing supplv of wood, wonder where we shall turn next for power, heat and light -whether we shall harness the moon with tide motors or the sun with ; olar engines! Moreover, the production of eastern petroleum Is falling off and practically no gasoline is being found in the petroleum of Texas and the West. And yet. according to lr. Wiley, our f-irmers can grow any amount of starch and sugar that may be wanted for any purpose in the world and not a pound of It would take one element of fertility from the soil.

But corn stalks if harvested before they dry out contain large quantities of sugar and starch, enough to pro duce 100 gallons of commercial alco hol per acre, according to the estimate of Secretary Wilson. In lOO.OOo.ObO acres of Indian corn the making of ten billion gallons of this aicoiiol therefore go largely to waste annually.

It rnkdir be of In terest to add a statement from Dr. WIIpv, that twenty times more riower can be obtained by burning the alcohol In corn than by burning the corn It self as has been done In the West In times of coal famine. It Is also estimated that the value of the by product of corn after the inistrlal proposition of Xahum Iiacbelder, master of the National (i range, t was pressing the passu ge In the in terest of the i(),(nxj farmers of his organization. These co-operative dis tilleries would be under close govern ment supervision, and the alcohol would be rendered unfit for beverage purposes before leaving the distillery warehouse, in this way the cost to the farmers of this material for light ing, heating, cooking and motor fuel purposes could be kept at thu lowest point. In Oreat Britain alcohol made un drinkalde by the addition of f p. r ..t. of wood alcohol and u much smaller proportion of mineral iii';itha Is now sold freely without tax.

In Hit gene garments tho square neck is preferred to the round this year, and this is always finished with a baud of lace or embroidery. The empire form Is, of course, very fashionable for chemises, hut, while it Is a pretty cut, It needs to be made of very fine material Use its btralght form will lie In folds beneath the cor set. Most chemises now-a-days aro shaped In under the arms so as to do away with this extra width at the walst-llne. A pretty finishing to take the place of sleeves and shoulder parts on a garment to be worn with decol late dress, consists of ribbons which tie on the shoulders and may be un tied and slipped beneath the bodice when worn with tho evening gown. The Japanese nightgown of quite loose cut is a decided novelty. This has rowa of little tucks descending from tho shoulder and extending half way down the figure. A double band of Insertion starts at the foot of the gown, passes by the side of the tucks over the right shoulder and around the neck at the back, mcetiiu; in the centre of the front at the waistline. The sleeves are ooe anil flowing as befits a garment of this nature. Few nightdresses have collars, most of them being finished with straight bands of embroidery or la-e. CHARMING DRESSING SACKS. Some very jaunty little dressing sacks of silky batiste or nainsook are being constructed. These are entire ly accordeon pleated, except for a lsir tion of the sleeve. Laco and Insertion surround the throat, and for those of Empire cut, a band of the same marks the high waistline in back and In front rises over the bust to be fastened with ribbons. Some of these lingerie tea jackets have broad and elaborate collars which reach over the ehould ers. Another new comer is the blouse walsteoat of embroidered linen, batiste or moussellne de sole. This Is made without sleeves and drawn In about the waist with a tape to, adjust, tho ful ness in front. These are designed to be worn with lingerie suits of which a long or short jacket forms a part. Lingerie petticoats arc of Increasing daintiness. They are for the most part elaborately trimmed, the top portion being of sheath-like cut and fitting without a bit of fulness. They are completed with broad flounces of tucks, embroidery and lace. SoniP of these flounces show several Trillings of lace or embroidery, while others are elrtboiate with hand-embroidered designs. Violets. The rosea I sent were red.
