sisted upon the spinelcss cactus dcvel
oped by Luther Burbank, the Calfor-

ten years Mr.. Burbank patiently ex
perimentcd with the pesky cactus Of
our great deserts. which is covered
with perilous stickers like quilts upon

beast avoids It instinctively. Burbank
believed that by patient cultivation be
could eliminate the spincs. He has
done so. producing very gentle and
harmless breed of cactus that can. he
caressed with the naked fingers with.
out injury.
DIR. Landone, being scientific in.
vestigator, proposed TO ascertain If the
spineless cactus would sustain human
life, and he proved that IL would. At
first he lost a little weight, but later
he regained the loss, and at the end Of

fine and fit. During those two weeks
he did much mental and manual In.
Dor without feeling any more fatigue
than he feels when doing similar worl;

Tho spineless cactus II no better food

safer and more comfortable eating
The only reason why cattle on the

not eaten them TO their I'LL these many
years is the reason eliminated by bur.

found Il 1alatable and nutritious. Now

lieved that the problem of cattle graz
