An El Paso, Texas, candy firm uses the juicy pulp of the desert "bnrrel cac tus,” known in Spanish as the plant, to make a eonfecjfon similar to erystalized fruit. Scientists explain that this cactus plant draws its sustenance more from the air and sunshine above than from the parched earth on which it rests. Even wild beasts know by instinct that the desert cactus has locked in its thorny bosom a juice which will keep them from starvation and satisfy their thirst. Prospectors and wander ers lost in the desert have existed by breaking open this plant and partaking of the meat and juice foufid therein. The first reference to a cactus candy is found in the history of the Aztecs. For centuries the Indians and Mexicans have known the process of making sweetmeats from this plant. However, it remained for the genius of tlift modern candy-maker to perfect the process. Hit ’Em All. Hubby had fallen down the steps and his wife was anxiously bending over him. “Oh, I'm sorry.
