The Daily NonpareiI of Council Bluffs,

Newspaper publishers east aud west,
the merchants ofCouncil Bluffs and of
Omaha and general advertisers all
over the country, are discussing the
unparalleled growth and increasing
excellence of The Daily Nonpareil of
Council Bluffs, Iowa. From a morn
ing newspaper of a somewhat limited
circulation few years ago, it has
taken place in the front rank of the
leading newspapers of the west Last
year The Morning Nonpareil had the
largest circulation of any newspaper
in the stale of Iowa making sworn
affidavit of circulation, with one ex-
ception. With the addition of the
evening paper started May |, 1906, IL
has increased that circulation so per
cent. In Council Bluffs the paper
goes to 80 per cent Of the homes in
that city, and no other paper publish
ed goes to as many homes in western
Iowa as The Daily Nonpareil. Infor-
nation comes from Council Bluffs
that the paper has had an exception

PROBLEMS OF DRESS,
Discussed by the Delineator for the
Month of April.

Though one may be a very good
seamstress the perfect knowledge OF
becoming colors may be lacking.
Youth is always attractive, no matter
how CARRIED, but even youth cannot
afford to crafty taste in coloringS re-
CARELESS of individuality. The red
haired girl will not choose the shades
of baby blue, if she is wise, because
the contrast will only intensity the red
in the hair. The genuine blonde, how
ever, and the fair brunette will find
such shades exceedingly becoming.
Again, the yellow brOws will be posi-
lively fatal to both the pure blode ar
dente. These should select the rich,
deep browns, while the true brunette
will be beauty in golden brown.
Dull CADET and navy blues will be-
come either type and green is the es-
pecial color of one inclining toward
the chestnut blonde. Puppies and
mauves she can wear also with good
effect, but, of course, all shades of
red and pink must be strictly avoided.
The genuine and semi blondes may
choose from the pinks, blues, mauves,
dark browns, grays, dark greens, pale
yellows, creams, very dark reds,
whites, blacks and old rose.
The brunette may wear all the fore
going shades except mauve, with the
addition of orange and every shade of
red Green, too, should be tabooed,
if the wearer-to-be is at all sallow or
colorleSs, as green has tendency to
increase this. Black, too, will have
the same effect, and should not be
worn unless relieved about the face -

at the Meeting Sunday Night.

Rev. G. Il. Shatto of Shenandoah
was present Sunday night and made
an address to the union meeting on
the question of temperance and the

the local organization, w G. Elliott

in a short and pertinent address in
which he gave brief history of the
contest against the saloon in this
county, and paid high compliment
to the memory of some good men who
have passed away. Mr.. Shatto is the
district superintendent of eleven coun-
ties in the southwest part of the state
and deVotes all his time to the work.
He led the forces in Shelby county
this winter and defeated an effort to
secure consent 10 establish saloons.
He is Il very attractive and entertain
ing speaker. Just as he was about to

ing broke up without ceremony. Be-

HOW SOON FORGOTTEN.
Bro. Sage Says that March 1905, was
Warmer than March 1907.

1t has been said and repeated by
many people that we have had the
warmest March and the coolest April
they have ever known. And it does
seem to be the case. But here comes
DR.. Sage of Des Moines who has the
records and says 'this cold snap in
the middle of April is by no means
unprecedented. Two years ago IN the
morning of the 18th, the temperature
dropped to ten degrees at Sibley and
ranged from ii to 20 at many stations
in the state. Heavy frosts and ice
were reported in all districts, with
considerable snow; and in that season
March was warmer than this year and
seeding was completed earlier. How
soon do we forget, even the unpleas-
ant features of the weather.

THE LOCAL PAPER
Should Be Taken and Read in Every
American Home

The local paper should be found in
every home No child will grow up
ignorant if taught to appreciate the
home paper. 1t is said to be the step
ping stone of intelligence in all those
matters not found in books. Give your
children a foreign paper containing
not a word about any person, place
or thing that they ever saw and how
could you expect them to beinterested
But let them have the home paper and
read of people whom they meet, and
of familiar places and soon an inter-
est is awakened which increases with
every arrival of the local paper. Thus
a habit of reading is formed and those
children will become intelligentsmen
and women; credit to their .ances-
tors; strong in the knowledge of the
world as il is today.

the coolest for 26 years. The nights
here have quite generally been as cold
as TO freeze ice, and sometimes near
ly az inch in thickness. The mer-
curry has been reported as low as ten

inches of snow that morning and the

line as far as Menlo a heavy snow
fell that night before In Des Moines
