over uncounted centuries. and in which hfther-
to there has been no sign of peace. Hereto
fore desert plants have regarded all forms OF
animal life as implacable enemies. and they
have armed themselves accordingly. In the
burning air in which they lived they seemed to
realize that any bird or beast which might ap-
proach would be savage for want of food or
drink, and would attack and devour any
thing at all edible which lay unprotected
Accordingly, they made forts of themselves, Sc
creting their sap and juices behind sharp splnes.
They also seized upon what little moisture came
to them in the scanty rains or the transient
dews and. boarding it up like misers In their
hearts they shielded it within a sort of armor
against the parched air of the desert and the
desperate creatures which inhabited it.
OF all desert plants. the cactus became in this
way the most formidable foe of the animal
kingdom. 1t excelled all the rest in the huge
ness and sharpness of its spnes. In some va
rietes like that of the American aloe, the broad,
fiat stems came to end in points like daggers
while in others, like that of the "old man cae-

of from sixty to a hundred feet, such as may
be seen the southern plains of Arizona ana

II the modern improvements in irrigation,
system of canals and bitches was ever dreamed
Of which could render more than the margins
or this wilderness productive. There was not
water enough. Were all the available rivers
turned from their courses thither they could
r-o'sten only one-ffth of these deserts. Some
$4,000 arid square miles would still be left.
BY opening up such vast tracts to raisers OF
cattle and sheep the country would be able to
support q correspondingly greater population.
Au the products which these animals furnish,
Gnd which are so important to man, would be
greatly increased. There would be more meat
to cat and wool to weave and wear. At
TIE same time those Western regions over which
IDS and f1ockS now range could be divided
up among the settlers, who every year are
cIowding in upon the cattle and sheep men in
greater numbers.
Whether or not the "spiueless cactus" achieves
all that is hoped for it. nevertheless its possible
benefits to mankind should not be distressed
out of the question without careful thought.
Other plants which when first known to men
were regarded only curiosties afterward be-
came such potent factors in their everyday life
that they even changed the character of their
race The introduction of the potato into Eu-

there every few ye1rs. The potato. like the

When first discovered in the mountains Of Amer

potato looked little it does now. Its tubers
were small and woody and its blossoms huge

Of recent years these cunning products Of the

was so dwarfed and poor a fruit that he crossed

result he obtained a great number of stoneIess
pIurns of good size. In favor. however, they are
inferior to the best cultivated varieties, so that
he is still at work crossing more generations IN
order to improve the taste OF the new fruit
By the cunning crossing Of some flowers from
Australia Mr. Burbank evolved q blossom which,
he SAYS. will neither lose it's color nor its per-
fure. He calls it the Australian Star Flower
His flower is of a crimson shade, sometimes
approaching white, and is produced in large,
graceful clusters Although the stalk may be
cut the blossoms do not wither and after being
laid away and again brought to the light they
possess their original beauty and perfume. BY a
still further evolution the botanist hopes to PRO
cure a flower which could be used in millinery,
and which may thus revolutionize that industry,
as the flowers could be grown much cheaper
than artificial flowers could be made.
In the belief that Mr.. Burbank's discoveries
will result in the material enrichment of the
human race. the Carnegie Institution granted To

BY the experiments of one botanist the indus

vellously advanced. A form of vegetable life
has recently been found which will grow in the
desert and yet furnish acceptable food for ami

says is half as nutritious for cattle as alfalfa
and which will thrive in the most arid wastes
of the United States.
Should the spineless cactus be introduced into
the barren, untitled regions of this country it
would increase its agricultural area more than
one-third. The arid lands of the United States
include nearly 100000 square miles of the

It is because most women suffer from some derangement of their delicate organism, the discomfort of which is less trying when they are in motion than when standing.
 In some states laws compel employers to provide resting places for their fe- male employees.
 But no amount of law can regulate the hard tasks of these women. They must get the strength which this work demands or run the risk of serious diseases and the surgeons knife.
 Read about the experience of Miss Margret Merkley, 275 Sd Street, Mil waukee, Wis:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:-

 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is a vegetable tonic which invig- crates and strengthens the entire fe- male organism, and will produce the same beneficial results in the case of any sick woman as with Miss Merkley.
