DEVELOPING PERSONALITY

Personality" is quality which the occupa-
much success. But most people have only vague
idea of what personality is and how anyone can
acquire it.
F. H. Beckmann, San Francisco business en-
gineer gave several definitions of this quality in
a recent address. One of his ideas was that per-
sOnality is quality the result of which the
presence of some people is desirable, and the
presence of some is undesirable.
There are some men and women who seem to
inspire confidence the moment you enter into con-
with them, you feel that they are going to look
after your interests and that their advice will be
good. person that has this quality is practically
sure to make good, provided such a one is not
lacking in some important respect.
This kind of gift is gained in different ways
Some rather silent and reserved people obtain it,
though they may not command it right off when
you first meet them 1t may take lime to show
up their good qualities,
One thing that enables many to gain some
thing Of that confidence at once is the display of
feeling Of interest in the people ose meets There
are some whose self absorption is constantly mani
tested II they are working for yen, they do. not
seem specially interested in your problems. If
they are trying to sell you goods they Seem inter
ested only in making the sale.
People of that type need to get out of them
selves, and show an interest in the people with
whom they have dealings They must not merely
put on that appearance, but they must actually
feel that interest. Such a sentiment viii give an
appearance of cordially and desire to render
full service, and when people have that disposition
they have much Of the qualities that constitute
personality.

The net result OF any eApellultute
of effort is generally spoken of as the
''fruit of that effort. Thus we speak
of the fruits of labor, and so on.
In like manner we speak of the pro-
duct brought forth by plant as its
fruit" and this fruit contains within
itself the seed that will reproduce
other similar plants.
Fruits, in other words, are to the
plant domain what offspring are to
the animal kingdom. Hence-all seed
bearing portions of plants are, correct
ly speaking, fruits, and this includes
such products as olives, melons and
tomatoes, often referred to as vege-
tables.
Composition of Fruits.
Fruits, like everything else on the
earth, are mostly water-75ao to $3.50
the balance being nutritive material.
Dried fruits contain only about 20%o
water, but the proportion of nutritive
value is correspondingly increased.
Preserved fruits lose some water by
evaporation and their nutritive value
Is raised by the addition of sugar in
their preparation. Canned fruits are,
in the main, unchanged.
AS a general proposition, fruits con-
tain little or no fats and their protein
content is so low as to be practically
negligible. Accordingly, their chief
nutrient are carbohydrates in the
forms of sugars (cane sugar, grape
sugar, fruit sugar..
Many fruits also contain oragnic
acids, such as mallic acid in apples,
citric acid in lemons, and so on.
Mineral matter is an important con-
stituent of many fruits. For example,
dried fruits, like prunes, dates, rasins
and figs, are fairly rich in iron, cal
cium and phosphorus.
The flavor of fruits is due to their
sugars, acids, and the ethereal oils
they contain. 1t is these others and
oils that, extracted by chemical pro-
cess, make up the fruit "favors" and

Digestibility of Fruits
The digestibility of fruits varies
with the kind and manner of prepare
ton As a rule, stewed fruits are
more digestible than raw fruits. Indi-
vidual idiosyncrasy also has consider
able to do with it Some people can't
eat half hanna without becoming i'll,
others can eat dozen and never
notice it. Practically everyone can,
however, eat oranges, lemons, grapes,
and peaches. For olives and grape
fruit taste must be cultivated, and
some persons never learn to love them.
Nutritive Value of Fruits
We should eat fresh fruit every
day; in fact, one cannot expect to
keep well without making fruits an
important feature in his dietary.
Fruits furnish mineral matter and vi
tamines. Then cellulose (fiberl and
organic acids have a laxative action.
They yield an alkaline residue which,
when absorbed, neutralizes the acid
residue of proteid foods (meat, eggs).
They are refreshing and stimulate the
appetite.
The digestive disturbances ascribed
to fruit are generally caused by the
germs and worms on the fruit, and
not by the fruit itself. Hence, all fruit
should be carefully washed before it
is eaten raw. When in doubt regarding
the condition of the fruit, it should be
cooked 1t goes without saying that
unripe fruit should never be eaten.
From infancy to old age fruits are
an essential of our diet. Nowadays
we give babies tomato and oragne
juice from the time they are two
months old, with the result that
scurvy has been virtually wiped off
the map And so on throughout life
fruits contribute more to our we'll
being than any other class of foods.

to the strawberry:
God could have made, but God
never did make, a better food than
fruit"
