Experts Are Investigating the
Cause of the Beriberi Disease

said the disease was unknown among
the Dyaks in the interior OF Borneo:
but when they came to Sarnwak they
suffered as much as the Chinese. In
Simanggang Gaol the disease had been
checked by feeding on fresh rice. At
Brooketon mines, where it was once
rampant. it was now absent, though no
change had been made In the rice. and
in other mines the experience was the
same. Examples of infection had
been noted. and there were cases which
seemed due to place infection. He had
investigated the bed-bug theory. but
found no evidence that these or other
parasites carried the infection. But
he added that since bugs had been cx-
terminated in the Kuching hospital
there had been no fresh cases. II
would seem. therefore. from DIR. Wei
lington's experience. one can draw no
definite conclusions.

The value of a smile has not receiv-
those who are SO interested in the EN-
manuel Movement and other phases. OF
psyche In this field we are
not plagiarizing either Ella Wheeler
Wilcox's-"Smile and the world smiles
with you"-nor are we wandering over
on the preserves of the cheerful occu-
pant of the White House. AS far as
that is concerned there is no need-we
hope there is .cheerfulness to go
around.
Rather, we were thinking about the
effect it would have on business and
pleasure In the city of Richmond if
once in day or SO certain prominent
individuals would exercise the muscles
of their faces and not do 1t in the pri-
vacy Of their own homes with the cur
tains pulled down SO no one could see
them. Do you think it would hurt
either business or pleasure? Would
there be 4 real loss Of dignity and self
esteem II about twenty Of the most
prominent men In this town would I'M
bend for few minutes each day?
It may be thought which is entire
" too frivolous for Richmond just yet.
But certainly nothing calamitous
would happen. On the other hand
there is one man in this town, who Is
always the one called in to manage en-.
terprises which are too heavy for 9TH
or people. He smiles his way through
difficulties. It Is real commentary
on life to see him do business with a
knowledge OF what he is trying to ac-
complish. His employees are no better
than the ordinary, but they turn out
more work for that man than for any
one else. because they feel that he ap-
preciates their work and that he has
enough interest in them to stop to say
something pleasant or at least-to
smile.
How any man can figure out In pro-
fit and loss the advantage of appear
ing. as II he were going into bankrupt
cy next week and his creditors al
ready on his trail. is little queer.
There are some people. who for some
strange reason, don't like to do busi-
ness with men who are not cheerful
The difference between the pessimis-
tic and the optimistic view points goes
farther than this. The pessimist is
always thinking Of what he might have
done and bewailing the fact that he
did not do it. Your optimist. on the
other hand, is the man who is smiling
over his defeats and thinking OF what
he can do in the future.
This is a very serious matter this
smiling. 1t can even declare divi-
dends. 1t can pull men through the
terrors of spring housecleaning.
But seriously speaking. it is the smil-
Ing man who is branching out in trade.
The man who makes business of
tearing down a competitor instead OF
thinking up good things to say about
his own business is not apt to get very
far.
It has not been so long ago that the
people Of the town can forge, that a
man who tried to pull everybody down
the ladder who was just little ahead
of him succeeded-not in pulling the
people down. but in smashing the
runss out of the ladder. He eventu-
ally came down too.
I,e was pessimist,
Bui OF course, this is . matter only
of smiling.
The smile is the sesame which opens
the doors of difficulties. It is the smile
which makes life worth the living any
way.
