The women Of Iowa are much dsap-
pointed at the failure of the lcgislat ure TO
give the constitutional majority necessary
to submit the woman suffrage amendment
to popular vote. For thirty years the
women have worked to this end, but the
difficulty Of getting two-thirds vote from
two successive legislatures has defeated
them. Anticipating this outcome, the
women have announced n new policy, and
will direct their future efforts to secure
the initiative and referendum. II this can
be secured, a petition from one-eighth of
the legal voters compels the submission Of
any question to popular vote. and they are
confident that IL so submitted they would
attain representation. The suffrage and
club movement in Iowa is so closely al
lied that the body of the two organiza-
lions is largely identical. The conserva-
tive policy of the clubs however, has left
this work largely to the suffrage clubs
in the past.

TIPS ON SPRING STYLES.

Among men who follow the fashions with interest, Meigs & Co.'S. exhibit ion of Spring models of overcoats has created a sensation. The garments are revelation to every man, and es- pecially to him who has not kept close tabs on the advance in ready-to-wear clothes. Nowadays it is the custom tailor who tags after the progressive ready-forwear man, and this show of new models at Meigs & Cos isan ex- ample of this pronounced position of this house; for at least one of the new models is new to most tailorS. This new model has broad shoulders and chest, long broad lapelS, is gracefully curved in at the waist and out Ov CT the hips, and has flaring skirts with a deep center vent The collar is of vel vet and matches the shade of the coat. Beautiful new gray shades in herring bone and plaid weaveS are used, and the buttons button through, an entire ly new feature in Spring coats. The covert top coat, which ever maintains it's popularity, is this season longer than it was last, and has deep side vents. The new model in rainprOof coats is broad shouldered, long and full. Many of the top coats and Var sitieS are made rainproof also. To this great show of Spring coats Meigs X Go. add interest by displaying the newest things in Spring hats, neck wear, shirts, gloves, hosiery and shoes, while the new Spring suits are taking their place on the tables. Just now is particularly good time to visit the big store and get acquainted with Spring styles.

SOMETHING ABOUT PAINT.

The use of silex (rock crystal quartz) specially ground by peculiar process, forty years ago was something new. To-day it is accepted by the best paint chemists and scientists generally, as a necessary article in paint to make it wear we'll Thousands of dollars are being expended in advertising the use of this article in paint, by manufac- turers. The evidence of the dura- bility of silex paints has been too strong to be resisted. Florida is one of the most severe climates for paint, and what will stand in Florida will stand anywhere. Please note the following extracts from a letter just received from MT F. S. Curl, Deputy Sheriff of Alachua County, Archer, Fla.
 II am practical painter, and have been using your Breinig's Lithogen Silicate Paint for about fifteen years,. so I know pretty we'll what it is. A large dealer has test job of the paint of two prominent paint manufacturers, both being used on the same building. This paint was guaranteed to stand five years. I wish you could see this test job. 1 have used both these paints and know what they are, but when they guarantee them for five years, 1 would like to have them see my own house which l painted with Breinig's White Silicate Paint eight years ago, and there is no break in the paint to-day. Better still, I painted my neighbours house with two coats of Breinig's White Silicate Paint, and repainted it again just 12 years and one month after, and it was not in very bad condition when l painted it last. This house had stood for six or sever>years without paint when I first painted it. Now I do not mean to exaggerate about Breinig's Lithogen Silicate' Paint, but l have used about all the best brands of paint and l have never yet found any other paint that will cover as much wood per gallon and wear equal to your Silicate White paint"
 ''InaSmuch as our paint outwearS all other paints, and furthermore is the cheapest pure linseed oil paint on the market, you cannot afford to use any other.
 Color cards and full information sent free on request"
 Give your orders for painting early. but insist on Breinig's Lithogen Sil- icate paint being used and applied properly.

Danbury.
 The Congregational church people have discovered that they have in their minister, not only faithful pas tor and excellent preacher, but an au- naturalist. On Monday night com pany of about 20 people gathered at the parsonage to listen to a talk on "Birds.'' MT DanfOrth drew life-like illustrations to show the birds in their flight and the formation of their wings, which proves him an artist also. He gave an account of au interesting experiment. he made when a young man. He placed one hem s egg in the nest of the robin, the cat bird and the phebe bird, and then watched results. The robins appeared disturbed, but finally the mother bird set on her own eggs and later the pair de- serted the nest The cat birds ap- peared exceedingly angry and attacked the hens egg furiously, resulting in breaking their own eggs. But the little phebe bird Sat on the big egg day after day, and gradually broke it's own eggs, which the bird carried out and dropped to the ground. MT Dan- forth had about given the egg up as spoiled, when on going out 1Ounu the chicken was picking at the shell, try to release itself. Going out later he found the chicken had fallen to the ground, while the little phebe birds were chattering above in the air. Carrying the chicken in he placed it l in a warm basket where it revived and ate little cornmeal. It would have 1 lived, but an ignorant servant girl fill l ed the stove with coal and left the lids off, and so the chicken was sutfo- cated from coal gas. MT Danforth de scribed the habits of the birds as to migrating. MT Danforth proposes to form a Nature club. The members will take tramp in the woods and across country, studying the birds their nests and their habits. The young people, and the adults who have leisure, will doubtless enter into tht new plan with a considerable enthusi aSm.
