It Is not asserted that the English woman is 110 longer beautiful, hut that the "tendency Is for posterity to get less beautiful." The difficulty, It Is shown, nil lies In the 'aw, Modern Jaws are narrow er with "rabbit mouths and contract ed palates" becoming more common all the time. These things were un known in premedieval times, which Is the period, by the way, when beau ty Is said to have reached Its pin nacle. The golden age of heuuty Is placed in premedieval times. AU these conclusions are drawn from exact and exhaustive study of human skulls. Among the younger generation, the English statistician finds the narrow mouth and small Jaw In the ratio of one to four, so that the national fuee may be said to have al together altered.

It is admit ted, however, that premedieval Is hy no means an exact term and that the Hermes of Praxiteles and the high point of Grecian beauty were in preuiedievnl times, but so were tho days In which the owner of the Pilt down skull nourished and the Nean derthal gentleman lived, moved and had Ills being—that Neanderthal gen j tleman whose remains one may see In ! the museum at Itonn —and they had ; Jaws which make the Greek Ideal seem small umJ Inconsequent by compari son. The fear is expressed that the models of liildlas and Praxiteles were brought lip on a soft diet. Sausages and eels and porridge are known to have had their pluce then as now, and the comparison of the ancient and modern diet. It Is hinted. Is consider ably exaggerated on both ends. It Is thought that possibly modern man Is not so devoted to the soft amt bis an cestors were not so devoted to the hard as some of these scientists would have it believed. Substitute for Lemons. With the uncertainty in the produc tion of limes in Florida, due to the sen sitiveness of the plants to cold, a new citrus variety, known as the llmequut, is coining into prominence, and is be ing listed hy several nurseries. The limcqtiiit was produced by the United States (department nf Agriculture in the course of various experiments in hybrid citrus fruits. It was obtained by crossing the West India lime with the kuuiquat orange. Tile fruit is very much like the lime in quality and flavor, and can be used In "ade" drinks in the same way as lime. This quality Is especially de sirable in Florida, ns California lemons are not obtainable, owing to quaran tine restrictions against the disease, "brown rot.” Sicily lemons are ex pensive and illtlicult to get, so that u good acid citrus is n scarcity for ade making. Moreover, the rlml of the llmequut, like that of the kuuiquat, is edible, so that the whole fruit may be utilized. The color Is light yellow, re _ sembllng that of grapefruit. THE DEMOCRATIC MESSEI \SNOW HILL, MARYLAND. MEN DG^kEFiMt “Rake*’ Said Frequently to Make Good Husband. Not Every One Who Has Sown His Wild Oats Before Marriage Con tinues the Practice. Although it was stilted at the church congress at Itirmir.gliam that "the re ; formed rake never was and never will he a good husband." there are folk who hold an opposite opinion. Elizabeth Ann does. She married a reformed rake, and we were all aware !of tier dubious experiment. We have also watehed it with Interest. Hat to the outside world Elizabeth Ann's Inis i hand appears to lie all that lie should be. Certainly lie Is no longer a rake, al though lie was known as one before marriage. Itat is lie a good husband? I have been asking Elizabeth Ann. n London Answers writer states. Now, Elizabeth Ann Is n very com mon-sense person. She doesn’t, for In stance, believe that every man must at some time sow Ids wild outs and that If he doesn't sow them before mar rlage he will do so after. She married her reformed rake because she loved him and believed In Idm. Maybe she’d still have married lilm. had no reformation taken place—hav ing a woman’s usual faitli In tier powers as a reformer. But tills by the way. Her theory today Is that the man who has tasted to the full of worldly pleasures and has turned from them. Ims found out the hollow mockery of \ them. For Idm they have lost their appeal. He Is unlikely to go buck to the things which formerly drew him. so long as he is happy. Elizabeth Ann has set hersi-lf the task of keeping her man happy in life's simpler Joys. In the ties of her, her self, and their child, she places her faith. And she does not believe that faitli will ever be shattered. "Tim appreciates home life," she j told me. "He Is getting more real pleasure out of tin* rose garden and | Illy pond we are making than he ever | derived from one of Ids riotous eve i nlngs. The perspective of Ids mind | has altered and he'll never go hack to j Ids idd wild ways." Tim, as a reformed rake, makes a I grind husband. Is he an exception? When olie probes into the reasons why some men become rakes one finds ! that real wickedness Is not always the ; driving power. Then* is good and evil ! In every man, and the victory of the ; one or the other hinges on many things. Many a so-called rake is not a rake at : heart, lie becomes so through ell vironment and lack of thought. And I It Is that sort of rake wlm, reformed. . can become a good husband. Your thoroughly had character does not re form. Society is willing to recognize true reformation in a man. and lias hut a short memory for ids past sins. Women marry reformed rakes every day. Hut Elizabeth Ann made a little eon fession. "There's one thing about Tim." sin* said. "He never wants to go any where or do anything stn-h as the aver age husband would expect to go and do with his bride. Up is bored by uian> tilings that would thrill me. Having got tired of life’s pleasures, they hold n*> attraction for Idm now. So I hu\e to content myself with home life, and leave the giddy whirl alone. That Is the price I must pay for having a hus band who was once a rake.” And many women who marry re i formed rakes have to face this con i dltion. Hut most of them fulfill It i willingly, finding it worth while. Business Block Church Project. Church architecture and ideas have received a new turn by the action of the congregation of the First Baptist church at Asheville, N. C. It Is the purpose to erect at a cost of sr>ii),ooo an eight-story building on the church | property in the downtown section. The new church building would provide swimming pools, basketball courts, reading rooms and baths in the base ment. The main church auditorium would be on the ground door, while the second floor would be given over to a modern Sunday school system. The remaining stories would he converted Into business offices, the rental from which would provide sufficient revenue i to meet the financial needs of the church. —Milwaukee Sentinel. Flappers’ Skirts Worth $1 an Inch. The favorite uncle was fairly ru I|oua l. according to Ids two nieces, who were of the flapper age, about every thing except the matter of skirts. Here lie Imd foolish objection# to brevity. Ami the uncle had ways of enforcing Ids opinion. ••You know what that man did?" said one of the girls to n chum. "When \ Judith and 1 cairn* down to dinner he asked mother for a tape measure. Said he was going to give us a dollar for each Inch In our skirts. We're both the same size, but Kuth's was longer.
