WHY 4
DO THINGS APPEAR
TO WHlRL AROUND
WHEN WE ARE DIZZY

1NASMUCH as things appear to be
= going around in circle when we
are dizzy but our common sense tells
us that they must be stationary, as al
ways, it would seem that the fault
lies in our eyes. But it really lies in,
or near, the ear-an organ which ap-
parently has nothing to do with the
sight or feeling.
Close to the ear however, is located
the little organ which gives us our
power of balance, permits us to walk
upright without tottering and, when
properly trained, to assume postures
which are distinctly outside the regu-
lar routine Of our daily lives Eccen.
trio dancers, acrobats, athletes and
others have unconsciously trained this
balance Wheel until they can do
strange things without, as we say,
losing their balance" When we spin
around rapidly, this delicate mechan-
ism is disturbed or thrown just little
out of gear, causing the eyes to move
independently of each other and to
send different impressions to the
brain. This causes the spinning eff
feet which we know as dizziness, /"
persisting for a longer or shorter
period of time, dependent upon the
rapidity and length Of time for which
one has revolved.

A sleeping sickness cure has been
discovered by scientific expeditfoa
after numerous experiments, according
to reports from Johannesburg, South
Africa The report says that the -
petition has gone to Northern Rho
desia, to test the efficacy Of the cure
under tropical conditions. 1t II be-
lieved that the remedy will not only
cure but prevent the disease and tha
animal variant Ngana. What II N
important fact is that cure for Ngana
and sleeping sickness will open tha
wide tracts Of Zululand to cattle
farming, and win remove tremsn-
dous scourge at once and forever.
In this connection 1t Is said that the
bacillus which causes sleeping sickness
and Ngana enters the blood OF the
animal and reaches the cerebro-spinal
fluid. Then follow drowsiness ana
growing emaciation. These terminals
in death. The bacillus, however, has
been isolated and Its origin has bssA
traced to game, particularly to such
big game as was to be found In The
Aldo bush and which was slaughtered
largely in recent expedition.

The value OF Canada's mineral pro-
duction for 1921 is officially estimated
at $169,552,0o0. This is considerable
reduction from that Of 1920, when tho
figures were 1927, $4,000. While in
certain departments there was fall
ing Off in production, due partially to
business depression. still there Is rea-

figures are due largely to the marked

OSHH0N JOHN BLAKE
MOST MEN LABELED

EXECUTIVES who make serious
study of choosing men for posi-
lions have little difficulty in doing So
Most men are labeled. Whether
they know it or not, their ability will
usually come out in a short converse
ton about the job they have applied
for.
Inability shows itself in the same
way
The applicant may make every eff
fort to prove that he can hold job,
but if he can't hold Il. an able chooser
of men will find it out before he is
hired
The competent nan may be shy; he
may lack the instinct of putting his
best foot forward; he may be a poor
self-booster, awkward in expression.
Yet the label is there, and the execu-
tive who has studied men can read it.
In the same way the competent
business man can tell the nature of
the man he is about to do business
with. He may judge by a trick of
facial expression, by careless word
or a hasty opinion, by tendency to
boast, or refusal to boast, but he
can tell
Mistakes happen, of course. But
they do not happen so often when the
direct method of judging men is en-
ployed, as when the method is in
direct.
Many men of only average ability
can answer missionaries. Few can
talk with a shrewd prospective en-
ployer without disclosing to very
large degree their unfitness for the
job.
Don't be afraid to wear your label.

Something to Think About
BIZ F. A. DALKER

There is no sunshine in their hearts,
no smile on their faces, no pouring out
of praise for blessings falling every
where about them and of which they
cannot partake.
They go to pieces on the rock Of
fear, and when their days are draw
ing to a close, they let go their hold
on life and drift out to sea unnoticed
even by their wicked associates.
Whatever may be the opinion of
the helpless souls of the underworld
with regard to commendable ambi-
ton, spiritual pride and sweet hui
mility, they are too eowardly to ex-
press themselves openly.
For better is not In their ritual
"for worse" smudges every line and
mocks everything good, noble and In
spring.
Heart-emotions are taken at a
wrong valuation by the habitual
doors of evil, who began their careers
by wedding the sons and daughters
of darkness.
To wed High Resolve, ought to be
the chief purpose In life of every
young man and woman, for It is only
by high resolve that humans can at.
tain their rightful heritage.
