Fruit is the Mainstay of Life to the
People of Egypt, Arabia
and Persia.

East Is west so far as the palm is
concerned. Hawaii, California, Flor

know their palms. Of all varieties
none is so dear to the heart as the
date palm. We all know it's delicious
fruit, but few can conceive the desert
dweller's love for it, for he only can
appreciate its grateful shade in the
sweltering desert heat.

there is the delicious fruit to be con-
sidered, too. Many of us know the
date as a luxury-sometimes stuffed
or otherwise, but a considerable part
of the inhabitants of Egypt, Of
Arabia and Persia subsist almost en-
tirely on its fruit. They boast also OF
its medicinal virtues. Then the cam.

Retarded growth, manifesting itself
in lack of centres of Justification, has
been extraordinarily stimulated by the
application of Roentgen rays to the

which rule the production of bone.

BUILT MANY CENTURIES AGO
FIorida's Shell Mounds Believed to
Date Back to Before Beginning
of Christian Era.

Florida's shell mounds, which are
found in different portions of the.
state, are unquestionably of human
construction. and were probably built
by some race of people who inhabited
the country about the beginning of the
Christian era. These mounds were
found overgrown with heritage and
forest as long ago as when the first
red man set foot in Florida, and the
fact that the deposit of earth above
them was sufficient to give place to
the root of trees proved their great
age.
There have been found in all these
mounds pieces of pottery imbedded in
the shell conglomerate, as well as ar
ticles made of shell and bone, rude
stone implements and many bones of
animals and fish, such as deer, terra
pin, rabbits, alligators and others. There
are in the entire state about forty
mounds, the most important of which
are those of King Philips town, near
tAe outlet of Lake Harvey, which are
451 feet long, from 100 to $50 feet
brosd, and with an average height of
eight feet.

MENTAL DAWDLING

By H. Addington Bruce

n n ENTAIL dawdling is common human
I'M weakness But it is a costly one, pre-
venting myriads of people from at
tanning the success that might otherwise be
theirs.
It may be described as a bad habit found in
all, who, when required to concentrate atten-
ton on anything, do so feebly There may be
no wandering of the attention to other things,
but there is no thinking about the task in
hand with real energy.
Or, as George Herbert Belts has more eIab-
orately put it:
I'VE do not gather up our mental forces
and mass them on the subject before us in a
way that means victory. Our thought may
be sufficiently focused, but they fail to set
fire.
1T is like focusing the suns rays while
an eclipse is on. They lack energy They
will mot kindle the paper after they have
passed through the lens.
This kind of attention means mental
dawdling. 1t means inefficiency. For the
individual it means defeat in lfe's battles.
For the nation it means mediocrity and stag
nation"
Stated still otherwise, the mental dawler
takes twice as much time-or more-to alb
serb information and from conclusions as the
energetic thinker And because of the fatigue
which his Understanding mode of thinking
creates he is far less fit than the energetic
thinker to turn to practical account the
knowledge he has gained.
Thinking feebIy and slowly, he acts feebIy
and slowly. Employers naturally lose pa
thence with him. If he is working for him
self, he has the bitter certainty of being out
distanced by competitors
| Now, there are several factors which en-
ter into the formation of the habit of mental
RI yUHIi p1f4 Jn foo ie
lack of real interest in the information to be
acquired or the problem to be solved.
When man is keenly interested in any
thing for its own sake there is at once a
freeing of energy that can be released in no
other way. The intensity of the desire to
learn and to act increases automatically the
power to learn and to act.
Many men, unfortunately, have their inter
est ceDtered on the rewards Of learning and
acting, not on the learning and acting. Mon
ey is to them the supremely important thing,
or fame, or leisure Their work is of quite
secondary Importance.
Naturally they do not "enthuse" about it.
And because OF this they go at it in half
hearted way. Hence they dawdle in their
thinking, so far as their work is concerned.
This is inevitable.
Hence also, to their bitter disappointment
they find themselves cheated OF the money
or the fame or the leisure they have crayed.
Whereas the energetic thinkers-energetie
chiefly because of the intensity of their in
terest in the things they have to think about
gain all the rewards which the mental
dawdlers lose.
TO be enthusiastic about ones job, always
THAT is the indispensable to doing ones Job
we'll, And those who refuse to take this
truth to heart will ever find themselves in
the ranks of the obscure, the mediocre. and
the poverty-stricken.
