Is a mixture Of things.
That individual is Billy GarwoOd.
Every one knows that he is a prosperous
ranch owner and raises onions; that is
an old tale now. Few know. however,
what a bully good cook he is. He lives in
weIl-appointed apartments, for he likes
comfort, and has earned his right to like
it, too. He has a neat little kitchen
where he turns out the most appetizing
suppers for his pals, and 1t is considered
quite an honor to get an invitation to
eat at BilIy's.
He says he enjoys it. but he draws the
line at wiping the dishes, and instead.
has a Jap assistant chef who does that
part of IL. Yes, he is just as good an
actor as he is his own wife. and those
who see the American pictures can tes-
tify to his acting ability. although they

JUDGE kU|VkEL' s.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR
SUPREME COURT PLACE
Philadelphia Public Ledger Points
Out That He Has Many
Advantages

The Philadelphia Public Ledger, of
to-day, pays high tribute to Judge
Kunkefs fitness for the supreme bench.
In an article on the Supreme Court
judgeship, the Ledger says:
"The candidate of widest acquaint-
ance is George Kunkel, President
Judge of Dauphin County. AS the
Judge before whom the Capitol graft
cases were heard he attained a repu-
tation in every county of the State,
and his friends are pointing to the
fact that although he was elected
the first time as an organization Re-
publican, he presided over these cases
with such impartiality that the press
of the Commonwealth. regardless of
party. complimented him in the high
est manner. The Supreme Court sus-
tanned him in every particular, al
though nearly score of the ableSt
lawyers in Pennsylvania were fight
ing to keep the grafters out of Jail,
and in the course of their battle took
exception to more than a hundred rul-
ings made by Judge Kunkel He was
unanimously reelected to his pres
ent position, being on all the tickets
voted a year ago in Dauphin County.
"This candidate has another ad
vantage. Harrisburg is the State cap
ital and many cases of Statewide in
terest are tried in the Dauphin County
tribunal. This has given the lawyers
an opportunity to know him at close
range. HIS supporters also contend
that he has made many friends
among Representatives and State Sem
ators in the last ten years, and that
they will be an influence for him in
their respective communities"

German Surgeon Favors
Both Radium and the
Knife For Cancer Cure
Ru Associated Press

Berlin, April 9.-Professor Czerny.
a celebrated Heidelberg surgeon. pub
lisLes in the current number of the
Deutsche Revue summary of the
results observed by him in 1000 cases
of cancer treated by radium since
1906.
His conclusion Is that cures have
undoubtedly been effected by means of
radium and mesothorium, although
they have been permanent in only
some of the cases.
Professor CZerny favors the acqui-
sition by the imperial government of
large supplies of radioactive sub
stances for invalids entitled to the
benefits of the state insurance system.
He thinks it premature to substitute
radium for operations and favors the
removal of cancers by the knife and
then the application of radium for
the prevention of a recurrence of the
growth.
