SEE BEAUTY PASS
English Writers Assert Uqliness
Is on Increase.
Comparisons and Research, However,
Do Not Altogether Bear Out Many
Points That They Make

Ihe golden age of beauty for man
kind has passed; today man is n soft
food animal and this Will be the secret
OF the races loss of beauty In the fu-
ture. according to II recent column In
the London Daily Telegraph wherein
"the decline and fall of the beauty Of
English women are sOlemnly dis
cussed. 1t Is not asserted that the
English woman Is no longer beautiful,
but that the tendency Is for posterity
to get less beautiful"
The difficulty. II is shown, all lies
In the Jaw. Modern jaws are narrow
er with rabbit mouths and contract
ed palates" becoming more common
all the time. These things were I'M
known In premedieyal times. which
Is the period, by the way, when beau
" Is said to have reached Its pin
nacle. The golden age Of beauty Ii
placed In premedIeval times.
AL these conclusions are drawn
from exact and exhaustive study Of
human skulls. Among the younger
generation. the English statlstician
finds the narrow mouth and small jaw
In the ratio of one to four. so that the
national face may be said to have al
together altered.
People don't chew and they haven't
been chewing for centuries, is the In
dictment. In ancient times food was
tough and It had TO be well chewed.
Hard food demanding sustained mas
tication was an item OF all meals. The
Jaw was properly developed thereby.
while today It Is left to languish and
the narrow jaw is the rule, more es-
pecially among women.
The remedy is simple, II IS shown,
consisting merely In doing away with

MEN DO reform"
"Rake" Said Frequently to Make
