Is there some way in LyX to do this:

Thanks Bennett.
You can also cut down on the number of periods that don't end
sentences by adopting the Oxford University Press house style: use
the period only when an abbreviation stops in the middle of the
word. Thus Mr, Ms, Mrs, and Dr, but Prof. Heck and Capt. Hook.
Since this is a book to be published by OUP, I guess I should do
that! Though, since it is a quote from (a translation of) Frege, I
guess I should keep it as "Mr. Dedekind". Hmm.

With \frenchspacing in the preamble, a single inter-word space is
placed after a period, rather than the variable space that LaTeX uses
by default. This would make the spacing problem go away. Typographers
seem to differ on whether an inter-sentence space should be a
flexible space (helping the justification) or an inflexible space
(equal to the given inter-word space).
