GREAT SURGICAL DISCOVERY

A communication from Paris
says: Trading his old and worn
out stomach for the new and
healthy one of an anthropoid ape,
Pierre Laurent, after resting a few
days~in the hospital. tested his new
digestive apparatus by becoming
Intoxicated. The young farmer
got himself "as full as a goat"
but the stomach stood the test and,
aside from a slight wobble in his
walk. Laurent is as we'll as ever.
The surgical operation, perform
ed by Dr. Routes at the hospital
of Agen is the sensational freak
of Paris. The famous surgeon
took the entire stomach from the
young farmer and when the organ
was found to be worn out. it was
replaced by the complete stomach
of the anthropoid. Laurent, who
is prosperous farmer of Agen,
remained in the hospital twenty.
five days. at the end of which time
he was eating the heaviest of foods
with perfect ease. His stomach
which was from an ape year-old,
fitted SO perfectly into the patient
that it withstood the surcharke of
LIQUOR without protest.
DR.. Routes speaks with certainty
of the benefits Of his surgical dis
covery and is preparing paper to
be presented to the academy of
medicine on the subject.

BURBANK CACTUS HAS
COMMERCIAL VALUE

Lu'ber Burbank is Duncan E.
McKinlay's solution of the high
cost of living.
"All the noted econmists agree"
ne said, that the chief item is the
high price of meats. And they all
agree that meats are high because
the western range is gone-be-
cause the great plains that used to
grow cattle and ST eep cheaply are
now turned into farms. Burbank
has taken cactus that prickly Gu rse
Of the plains that used to grow
spikes from one to three inches
long and made it SO smooth that
you can rub your face with it as
you would with a glove And this
is where its value comes in. Every
ounce of that cactus is just as
good for cattle, sheep hogs and
chickens as alfalfa. Now, cacuts
grow naturally all over the south
ern states. 1t grows in sand, and
takes it sustenance from the air.
There are 2.5OO0,OOO acres of land
in the intermountain states owned
by the government that will grow
that cactus naturally, without
cultivation-and three billion acres
in the deserts Of tie world.
This is what saw at Burbank's
place week ago last Sund ay:
One single acre on which there
we're 2,056 tons of that cactus, and
the plants were but three years old.
Think of where the price of cattle
and sheep would go if that much
alfalfa could be raised to an acre.
Think of the millions of aces
that are now waste, producing that
cactus instead of TIE impossible,
prickly stuff that they now grow
wild. | tell you there is the solu-
ton of the cost of living. Burbank
has furnished it."
