E. c. SWIFT DEAD.
Packer Expires in Boston After Brief
 Illness With Pneumonia.

Boston, April 5.--E. C. Swift of Chi cago. member of the packing firm of Swift and Company. died early today at the Quincy House where he engag? ed rooms about two weeks ago. Pneu- monia was the cause of death.
 MT. Swift was taken i'll with pneu- monia on March 27. He had come to this city from his country estate at Beverly Farms, in order to be near his friend and business associate, N. E.

WOMEN's CLOTHES AND
 HOW THEY ARE WORN.

While sitting under the infliction of the stupid speech of some man who lights to hear himself talk, take refuge In reading character from women,s clothes-not so much from what, they have on as how the garments are worn.
 First, there is the little plain person who never looks like anything, no mat ter what she wears. Dress her in the fairest most costly creations of fashion and she looks precisely the same as when she Is going about her kitchen In a calico dress. This Is the negative woman, who stays where she is put, like a piece of putty. who does just what others do and who never had an idea that was her own in her life. There isn't any character in her for you to read
 Next there is the tumbledown woman, whose skirts seem slipping off or hang ing in dips and draggles, whose hair looks always untidy. If this woman is caught in rainstorm she generally gets her skirts wet to the knees, and her shoes soaking, while friend walking with her may come through the rain with garments neat and dry around her feet and no streaks of mud dy skirts across her shoes. The old fashion ed word "slommicky" suits the stumbledown woman to T. You can stake your head she is one of the in exact creatures who are always for getting things and losing things and who never get a story straight when they, try to tell 1t. The chances are,. indeed, that she will drop into the habit of distorting and eXaggerating facts till her words cannot be taken for any thing she tells. With women of this sort it is a question whether they are conscious falsifiers or whether they are only as incapable of seeing things straight as they are of wearing their garments straight.
 There. too is the woman who is al- ways conscious of her clothes. If she has a beautiful and costly new spring hat and gown she enters an audience room strutting like a peacock, with her chin tilted in the air and her eyes glancing hither and thither to see how peoz1ke around are taking all this ele- gance. She sits down, she arranges her skirts. she straightens her hat, she throws over her shoulder that is next the audience her new gold cloth scarf.

SALADS AND SALAD-MAKING
By CoRNELIA c. BEDFORD.

naise, can be diluted by the addition of whipped or plain cream.
 Almost all meats and vegetable sal ads are improved by suspicion of on- ion or garlic, and the best way of using the latter is to cutN a ciove or garlic (the bulb of garlic Is separated in number of divisions called cloves) and rub the salad bowl or dish with the cut side method greatly in vogue in France is to cut thick slice or cube of stale bread free from crust. rub it well with a cut clove of garlic and place it in life salad bowl. removing 1t when the salad is served. For many salads. especially vegetable, onion juice may be added but chopped or cut raw onions should never be used un- less 1t Is known that all at the table like 1t. the flesh Of the raw onion be- ling extremely repugnant to many per sons.
 Meats and vegetable which have been cooked are improved in flavor if mar mated some time before they are sery- ed. Marinated means to mix with enough French dressing to slightly mofsten; this gives them an added fla vor. When mayonnaise Is also to be used any surplus amount of thinner mixture should be drained off before the salad receives its finishing touches,
 Chicken is by no means the only meat fit for salad use though it is about the only kind mentioned by many peo- pie when a meat salad is suggested. That may do for receptions, etc, but the true economy of the salad In every day living Is that it can and does util- ize many odd bits too small to present at the table in other gufse. A small piece of cooked fish with some appro- pris to vegetable. such as cucumber and few lettuce leaves, can be so min gl cd with q mayonnaise or some French dressing that the result is dish sat isfactory alike to eye and taste. Cold boiled beef neatly diced, marinated with a French dressing. mixed with shredded lettuce and sprinkled with grated horseradish will make sub stantial luncheon dish, while a half cupful each ofIseveral kinds of cooked vegetables served in cucumber cups will add much to supper.
 Dinnner salads should be of light nature and. for the most part consist of the fresh green salad plants, such cress, simply prepared with a French dressing. As variation a spoonful or two of finely chopped herbs sprinkled over with the dressing, Is both popular and good; paisley, chervil, chives and tarragon are the herbs generally used.
 Many decorative and tasty sweet salads can be prepared with fruit. Of these just at present the grape fruit salad isN most in favor. After having carefully scooped out of the rind, all inner skin removed and the pulp re- turned dressed either with a French dressing or sweet wine dressing. Each half is served on a bed of lettuce leaves.

FREE ALCOHOL BILL.
Report on the Measure Submitted By
 Chairman Payne.


 Washington. April 4.-Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Commit tee today submitted the report of the committee favoring the passage of the free alcohol bill. It is an argument showing the necessity for the legsla- tion and states from the judging ex- perience of other countries no frauds in the revenues is likel yto follow
 In Germany, MT. Payne said, the bulk of the denatured alcohol Is used for light, fuel and heat. They use a lamp with mantel, which produces a very strong, steady and high grade light. the alcohol keeping the lamp burning twice as long as would kerosene. Dur ing tho last few months, Mir Payne says. experiments have proved success full in adapting gasoline engines to the use of alcohol. He estimates that there are 300,0O0 gasoline engines in operation in this country, and that the annual output of such engines is now more than 100000. They are especially adapted for farm use.
 Another advance of alcohol as power for these engines Is that in case of fire. water may be used to quench it.. as water mixes with the alcohol and puts out the fire: whereas 1t simply spreads gasoline fires. Alcohol, he said, will produce ten per cent. more power than gasoline.
 For heating he says alcohol has proved an entire success in Germany and there is no doubt that alcohol heat ing stoves will be put into immediate use.
 As to the cost of producing denatured alcohol. Mir Payne estimates the ac- tual cost of manufacture as something less than two cents a gallon. To this must be added the cost of the product from which 1t Is made. Nearly five gallons can be made from bushel of corn. This would make the entire cost of the alcohol something less than twelve cents gallon.
 He predicted that sugar beets could be utilized for the production of alco- hol at profit under the proposed new reguiat iOnS

soon took an alarming turn and in
three days our classmate and friend
was dead. What a gloom the news
cast over that schoolroom. How our
eyes filled with tears and our throats
