| CACTUS DINNER.

Dr.. Leen Albert LAadens Entertains
 His Fellow Physicians.
 Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 14.-Dr. Leon Albert Landons gave . dinner last night to six physicians of this city to celebrate the completion of his four- teen days food test. During this pe- riod, Dr. Landons ate, almost exclu- sively, spineless cactus, and cactus was one of the chief factors at the din- ner.
 The menu consisted of celery and cactus soup, omelette with chopped cactus and green peppers. fried cactus. salad made of cactus fruit, lettuce. celery. sherbert favored with the fruit of cactus and the juice ofthe cactus fruit as a drink. The guests efpressed themselves as delighted with the menu and found 1t very pleasant to the taste.
 My experimental diet was in . way productive of surprises.' said Dr. Lan- dons. I had expected to lose fully ten pounds in weight, though confi- dently expected to keep up my strength. Not only did my strength continue un- Impaired, but on weighing myself this morning had gained half . pound.
 The test was not intended to show what cactus alone will do as an article of food. but rather as test of all those vegetables rich in organic salts. Though cactus was the chief article of diet, pr. Landons also ate celery, asparagus, lettuce and spinach and a small amount of animal fat in the butter in which the vegetables were cooked.

 He spoke on "women in Pubiie Life, ,, tracing the life of woman and her inde- pendence from the days of earliest hiss tory to the present time.
 Mans supremacy is now almost q thing of the past" said Professor Zue. blin. land 1t is high time 1t is so. for while woman is regarded as the weak er physically. she is in many respects the stronger mentally and morally. From the time brute strength received second place and the mind became the dominating power of the human being. woman has risen until she now threat ems to be not only the equal of man in every respect, but the superior.
 ''Regarding the physical strength even 1t might be said that woman Is stronger than man. for the human being should be graded according to the per- forfnance of functions for which 1t is intended. Taking this as standard. woman is the strongest for she endures more In life than the average man can fma zine"
