JUDGED BY HER PERSONALITY
Physical Tests Are No Longer EN-.
ployed in Making the Selection Of
"Perfect Woman"

The British perfect woman has been
discovered. She is forty and the
mother of five children. There are no
statistics as to height, weight or bust
measurement. The physical features
are not the most important part,
though they are to be taken for grant
ed from an array Of social and spirit
ual qualities. Here is what makes
her the perfect woman: She is in
happy circumstances, living in n beau
tlful part of the country, a few miles
from big town. She is the center of
n good home, In which there is n
standard of cleanliness and comfort
and where good taste Is everywhere
visible, in furniture, carpets, curtains,
wall paper, ornaments and clothes.
And then the description goes on to
say:
"The ideal woman Is sensible and
buslnesslike and her home is place
of peace. She is patriotic and inter
ested in politics. She takes walks
rides, bicycles, climbs, dances, skates,
rows and plays games. She can ride
a horse and drive a motorcar.'
Thus it is the personality, not the
person, that makes the perfect woman.
One often sees where the grace and
beauty break through the fashion and
form and make even plain person at
tractive. The latest test of the per-
feet woman is spiritual, not physical.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.

GUNS . TONNL FHOFfI OF TON'
Constitutional prohibition for the
nation far from comforting upon the
federal government new powers will
take from the federal government
power which 1t now has-the power to
tax liquor. And It strengthens the po-
lice powers of the states to deal with
internal affairs by adding to them the
active support of the federal govern
ment. From being the nullifier Of
state laws, the federal government will
become their supporter and positive
assistant in their enforcement.-Dan-
iel Polling.

THE FOOD QUESTION.

The paragraphs here given are from
portions Of an open letter to Premier
Lloyd-George, written by Mr.. Arthur
Nee, leader in the strength OF Brit
ain" movement. The subject matter Is
pertinent to any warning nation which
permits the sale, manufacture, impOr-
tatiOn or expectation Of intoxicants:
ut is only the food question that
trembles in the balance" Says our
minister of agriculture. "Once we de-
eide that in our favor peace will be
nearer" Then what infamous treach-
cry is 1t that turns this vital scale
against us? We want 100000 lOaves
day, and brewers destroy 10000 Of
them. If waste Is crime who Is the
criminal here?
"YOu stopped the import of rum
because we have enough TO last for
years. but n ship that might have
brought In 100000 loaves has just
brought in 10000 gallons of rum for
1920.
"a ship from great wheat country
has lately arrived with space crammed
with brewers watts.
"Bread costs life, you tell us; but
you have allowed the brewers to i'm
port, at the risk of life, grain for
$4,000 loaves every day since you came
into power to destroy It for beer, and
export the beer at the risk of life.
"lt Is not safe to imperil the health
Of our poor, while brewers grow rich
by destroying bread. II is not safe to
let poor people wait in queues for
sugar while carloads pour into
brewers destructOrs. You think 1t Is
not safe to deal with drink; but is 1t
safe to fool with food?
"You talk of the workman, but have
you asked him to give up his beer
that we may have more TO eat? You
have not. You asked for his son and
he gave him, and he will give you his
beer If you ask. Our workmen are
not Germans that they should drink
us into famine, but they go on because
they think you will say the word, as
you have always done, when the vital
moment comes"

PUTS ALL ON SAME LEVEL.

A license law Is really prohibition
