Cause of Red Noses,
Ie Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t is stated by the Popular Health Maga-
zine of this city In its June issue that
"redness of the nose is caused by indi-
gestion. not intemperance. The remedy,
it is stated, is to abstain from over-indul-
gence in fats and sweets" This dictum will
be appreciated by many worthy people
whose noses are unduly rosy. For years
they have been misjudged by irreverent
scoffers who did not scruple to ascribe the
nasal tint to excessive imbibitions. Now
science comes to their relief. 1t is flats
and sweets" that make the trouble causing
indigestion, which produces a rush of blood
to the nose. Some persons given to alco-
holic stmulants do, indeed, have red noses
but the redness Is stomachic, not alcoholic
The fire water may burn out ones cop
pers.' and thus indirectly produce the
luminous proboscis, but its power Is now in
q position to assert that 1t Is an error to
say drinking did it."

The Savior, in one Of His parallels,

visible growth OF the kingdom. In this
parable He compares that kingdom to
leaven referring to Its inward secret
growth. In using leaven rs His figure,
He likens that Kingdom not 70 what
leaven is, but to what 1t does.
