BURBANK'S SUBSTITUTE
FOR MEAT IS CACTUS
Dr. Doud Says
Spineless Variety
Developed By Wizard Will
Solve the Problem.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.—The demand for a cheap and satisfying substitute for meat gives Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, an opportunity to educate the public taste for spineless cactus.
Burbank himself prefers his cactus fruit to peaches. It appears on his table variously boiled as greens, fried like egg-plant, sliced in a salad or sweet pickled as dessert. Some months ago he gave a banquet at which nothing was served but spineless cactus.
Dr. F. N. Doud, president of the Thornless Cactus Farming company, is a cactus food enthusiast, finding it rich in the salts needed to keep the human system in repair. They neutralize, he says, the acids that tear down and destroy the nerve cells. Being absolutely starchless, the food is also an ideal diet for the overstout.
Dr. Doud thinks the cactus will solve the food problem of the future.
