MEDICINE
: BY DR.. HIRSHBERG
Observation of Rules
of Hygiene Will De-
crease Illness.
BY DR. L. X. HIRSHBERG.

There is nothing against the morals
OF a person with a red and shiny
nose who resorts to face powders
and pasty white. liquids in his effort
to conceal that crimson member from
the suspicious of a scrupulous glance,
especially when 1t is a perfectly in
nocent feature as far as drunkenness
is concerned.
True, you and the other ninety-nine
in the hundred may have unkind
thoughts about this redness, which,
as a matter of fact, worries the enx-
ious possessor more than it ever
could the. most gossipy gabber.
Sensitiveness about the shine is us
ualIy confined to women, while the
strangeness of the scarlet nose is a
matter of worry for the men-some-
times.
Diet Often Cause.
The red and shiny nose is truly
an object of abomination and ugli-
neks, which may be the outcome of
many causes. Tight Iacing, tight col
many times justly blamed. Rich, high
ly seasoned and hot foods are usually
too much indulged in by those whose
ruddiness finds it's way to the nose.
In these individuals hermit-like fares
should suffice, no matter how per
sistentIy they deny overeating, and
do not realize what is consumed until
an inventory is made. Spinach, tur-
nips, asparagus, saurkraut, bran
bread and fruits may be eaten, while
soups, gravies, nuts, pepper, salt and
all condiments must be abonlished.
In a word, excess in the secretion
of the sebaceous glands may be the
fundamental causes.
OF course, a red nose may come
from carelessness in the extraction
of blackheads. In just such instances
the nose frequently becomes infected
and scars are made which usually re-
quire many months to fade away.
Massage with peroxide several times
a day may help mattefs along.
Apart from this is the drunkard's 8
nose, or rosacea, which is a swollen,
turgid, forid, scarlet nose, extraord-
inarily large and red. This condition
is occasionally treated with x-rays
and radium. A spray Of ethel chloride
or kelene bleaches and shrinks a red
and swollen nose.
Bathing Is Important.
Be this particular kind as it may,
the usual kind of red, shiny or oily
nose is often due to indiscriminate
eating as much as to anything else.
While the diet is well looked into for
internal benefit, the care OF the skin
is also important.
The skin itself must be bathed fire.
quently and thoroughly washed with
soft, neutral soap. Absorbent cot
ton and ice cold water tend to train
the skin to resist this unsightly disor-
der. Ice packs may also do much to
help.
If cosmetics, however, are used,
only powders of the purest kind
should be bought. They should never
be rubbed into the pores or smeared
roughly over the nose. Little balls of
steriliZed absorbent cotton are used
for this purpose. Light dabs of pure
rice powder will answer the purpose
to a nicely, and the cotton balls may
be kept in a handy waxed paper bag.
These puffs are to be thrown away
after each using.

The only aviator on record who
has flown further than Miss Law on
a nonstop cross-country flight is Sub
Lieut.. A. Marchal, OF the French
army, who last June flew from
Nancy, France, to Chalen, Poland a
distance OF S12.5 miles, or 222.5 miles
better than the Chicago-New York
flight.
Miss Law is now in Europe, whith-
er she went to secure a machine big
