as its mother. It must be confessed that this anxiety of dress is much more developed in baby girls than in boys. Perhaps it is only another ex- ample of masculine conceit, this seem ing indifference. The little boer, as the country boys are called, may think any circumstances, and his principal purpose seems 10 be to have his hat tilted ever his eye at just fathers angle. But the little girl simply must know that her cap is straight and her skirt even and unwrinkled before she can be happy"

PLEASING PICTURE
 OF DUTCH LIFE.
Country Where Places People Come From Can Be Recognized By Their Costumes.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Especial to The BulleUn.)
 Washington, D. C., Feb. 23.-A pleas ing picture of Dutch life is drawn by Mrs. Florence Craig Albrecht in a paper prepared for the National Geo. graphic Society, in which she describes the tidy housewife, shows how the lit tie girls exactly duplicate their moth CTS in dress and the little boys must be apparelIed exactly like their fath- CTS or be hOpelesSly out Of fashion.
 The writer shows how formerly every one of Hollands many islands and most of her many towns had their own particular and distinctive dress, and how, even to this day, in a little country less than 8 fourth as big as New York, one may still recognize the places from which many people come by their costumes. She draws a pie ture of the Walcheren danes who drive 10 the butter market at Middle burg. descend from their wagons and chajses with much shaking of volum iuoUs skirts and aprons, much batting of their comedy Dutch. caps, and much smoothing of wrinkled Iaces.
 When the farmers wife comes to town she replaces her work day apron with one of black sateen," says Mrs Albrecht.' almost as long and full as her skirts: it is close shirred at the waist in many fine, even rows. Her bodice is black likewise; but shield shaped tucker is frequently Of gay
  ogy. ending far above the elbow in a, broad and very tight black velvet band
 With all their demureness of dress and bearing the Dutch girls are fond of banter and fun. Ask one her name and she is likely to answer that her mother can tell it better than she can, as Mother knew it first" She has no objection to your knowing her name but she is a great tease at all times, says the writer.
 A tiny maid of four, a wee Iaddie unable to speak plainly wear precise ly the same costumes as mother and father-full, long, black skirts, white cap. gold spiral, coral beads, and apron for the one; black cloth or velvet trousers and jacket, much adorned with silver buttons, silver -buckled shoes, and queer black hat for the other.
 The tiny baby pats and smooths ard settles it's many wide skirts, ad- justs it's beads, and feels it's gold spir- al. to be quite sure they are all as they ought to be. with as much care

PHYSICIANS PRESCRIPTION
 FOR INDIGESTION
Important for All Those Who Suffer
 After Eating.

If you suffer from indigestion after a ting and find that instead of the one little pepsin or soda Dill you used to take. 1t now needs tWo or three to stop it. it's time you called q halt and did some hard thinking.
 The plain truth is that there are thousands of men and women in this country whose stoInachs are dead or dying from lack of exercise while they themselves still live. They can't go on this way much longer. It's wonderful to think that powerful drugs com while do the work of a human stOm- aCh. But no pill was ever made that could do 1t for long.
 A dead stomach can't be brought to life but q slowly dying stomach can and must or it's owner must soon fol- wrote the prescri ption for Mi-o-na Stomach TabIets and thousands owe their very life to them today. Most stomach remedies work on the food and digest 1t. Mi-o-na works on the stomach and digests nothing. Mi-o-na stimulate the stomach muscles and yitalize the stomach machinery into instant and normal action. The stom- ach starts at once to churn it's food and normal, painless digestion follows. leading druggists hereabouts sell Mi o-na Tablets, agreeing to refund money in any case where it does not do these two things. First, in ten min utes give relief from heartburn, gas. Second in thirty days completely rem stomach so it can do it's own work without aid of any kind. If your own druggist thinks this well of Mi-o-na you surely ought to try it.

Perhaps the most striking fact in connection with the European police commissioner is not only the absence of checks and bal ances by which a possible abuse of power may be curbed or minimized but the sustained faith of the people that power will be wisely employed.
 Finally, the rank and file of the Eu- roean police forces are selected and trained with the same care and atten- ton shown in the case of their super for officers. Indeed, in all ranks the character of the personnel is the es- sential constant factor of efficiency. On this and on other basis is it pos sible to secure an effective organiza- ton.

Beneath all variations there are certain common principles on the basis of which the efficiency of the European police department can be exlained. First, the police are not called upon to compel conformity to moral standards which do not meet with general ubIic approval. They are not asked to enforce laws which from the standpoint of accepted pub lie habit or taste are fundam entally lunenforceahle. Second, control is centered where responsibility can be definitely fixed-in single official

British earthquakes are so slight that one may be forgiven for treating them as a joke. let during the last twenty years England has had 180- nine per annum. That might seem an unreasonably large number, until we discover that Japan in eight years ex- perienced S3S1. shocks, and Greece 31S7 in six years. To put the calculation in terms of square mileage the earth quakes in Japan, as compared with Great Britain, are as S2 to 1, while Greece easily scores against both Japan and us with 256.-London Chronicle.
