Treatment was us successful In the
case of a man ffty-nine years old
He was told after diagnosis at Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, that ne
was suffering from cancer OF the
tongue. Radium was applied In April
and June, 1915, but the patient told
DR.. Walker that he continued to grow
worse. In July, 1915, treatment With
selenium was begun and continued Tor
several months, ut the end of which
he returned to his home In Canaan
with the alterations healed. Last July
he wrote DR.. Walker that there had
been no sign Of recurrence, and he was
attending to business regularly.
A woman, forty years old, was OPP
Grated on for cancer ut st. Luke's
hospital In 1912. A microscopic exam
ination confirmed the diagnosis. The
trouble returned In 1913 and the Sc
lenium treatment was administered
for q year. Last August the patient
said she felt better than she had. for
many years and was suffering no pain
whatsoever. She was still gaining
weight, though the treatment had been
discontinued almost two years before.
One of the most remarkable cases
is that of the manager of a Stock Ex-
change house, who in July, 1914, when
he was sixty-three, consulted two spe-
cialists and was told, following IN X
ray examination, that he had cancer
and could not live only a short time.
He then weighed about 120 pounds.
Treatment with selenium was begun
and continued for a year, at the end Of
which he weighed 1877 pounds and was
attending to business. He has since
continued well.

1t is declared by medical authorities
one Of the greatest difficulties In the
way Of determining the actual value
of proposed cancer treatments, even
where several hundred cases are un-
der observation, is the question Of dag
nosls. This can seldom be made with
absolute certainty unless the n
GUS growth can be seen. In many
cases this is brought about only by
operations.
In many Of DR.. Walkers most sue
cessful cases no question Of doubtful
diagnosis can be raised. One patient
was an Italian laborer, twenty-one
years old, operated on Mt the Massa-
chusetts General hospital, in Boston.
He was discharged from the hospital
after a microscOpical examination had
resulted in a diagnosis of cancer of
the stomach. The hospital chart
showed the operation had relieved"
him.
The patient came under DR.. Walk
er's care eighteen months later with all
the signs Of recurrent cancer. He was
treated with selenium and a rigid diet
enforced. This was continued for q
year, with intervals Of cessation from
all medication, and was stopped last
January. Two weeks ago the man was

by Usino Numbers

Here Il q most interesting article ON
the origin Of football signals by n.
Maxwell. the famous S~warthmore
allAmerican guard Of 1905:
signals seem to be an absolutely
essential part of football, and yet It
was not until 1883 that they were In
vented. From the November day In
1889. when Rutgers and Princeton
played the first game Of football, until
1883. the colleges, got along by using
systems which varied with every
eleven. letters being frequently used.
1t was left to Pennsylvania Military
college to originate the present system
Of numbers.
Springs Stirring Coup.
ut was on a chill November after.
noon In 1888 that Pennsylvania Mill
tary college flashed the number system
on the football world, and incidentally
used the single signals as the means
Of a coup whereby Princeton was
whipped at Chester by Q to 0. The
numbers not only mystifled Princeton.
Hut they SO speeded up Penn Military's
play that It was able to outrush the
Tigers at every stage Of the game,
which was witnessed by more than
1000 persons, a great football gather.

use Of numbers for signals spread rap.
idly.
Sew realize that Pennsylvania Mill.
tary college once occupied a foremost
place In football. Nor do they realize
that the really big games in that Sec
ton IS years ago were played between
Pennsylvania Military college and the
University Of Pennsylvania.
I'm defeating Princeton, Pennsyl.
vania Military did not use trick plays,
spring some new formations or work
the 'shoestring' stunt for the first time.
The players ~outgeneraled their oppo-
nents, and the outgeneraling was done
by using q system Of numbers for sig
mails.
Revolutlonizes the Game.
"Football signals now being used by
all of the teams were used for the first
time in this contest. Princeton was
swept of her feet BY the speedy play,
and was outclassed and outplayed. It
was the most successful coup d'etat'
ever sprung by a football team. It
made such an impression on Prince
ton that the coach adopted 1t for his
team, and within a year Yale. Harvard,
Pennsylvania and others also took II
up. Penn also was defeated in that
same year. This revolutionized foot.

bors 70 Make the Best Posi-
BILE Appearances.

The first thing to be taken into con-
sideration In laying out grounds Is to
locate carefully all areas and all archi-
tectural, features. II the drives and
walks are not constructed they should
be Included ia the first study, as they
are generally worked out before any
thing else u attempted II there Is to
be : Normal garden, 1t should see q part
a. the house itself and should be SO
placed that It may be appreciated from
the pfincipal windows and porches.
The dining and living rooms should
have the best views, and the kitchen
may open upon the laundry yard or
service court
Care should be exercised to keep the
place from being broken up any more
than necessary. and, with the areas 10
Gated, the planting lines may be stud
led Open spaces should never be OBJ
structed by gaudy flower beds or in ap-
propYfate vases.
In most cases there should be some
planting at the corner Of the property
to indicate the lot line and to draw in
the place, making 1t seem more private
and homelIke. There are cases where
the whole side should be planted. and
this Is best accomplished with wen Sc
lected, dense shrubs. The shrubs with
brightest colors should be placed 30
that they may be appreciated from the
most important part Of the house.

TO suRPAss RECORD
Drop Kicking 10 Becoming More and
More lmportant-Many High Glass
kickers Developed.

\ Football records show that since the
advent Of open-style football, drop
kicking Is becoming more and more
important and coaches who have been
successful In building up winning
teams Ore paying a great deal Of at
tention to the development Of drop
kickers.
Kicking was more or less neglected
under the old style Of football and root
ers at games often hooted the team
which would try for field goals, ridi-
culing 1t as baby tactics.
But in new football a dozen attempts
are made for field goals where one was
tried In the old days, and the result
is the development Of many high-class
hckers and many sensational kicks
from long distances and difficult an
giles.
Records show that during 1918 40
field goals were kicked from the 40
yard line or better, a record which
equals the combined successful long
distance kicks of almost any ten years
under old football.
Kicking in 1915 was led by Payne
Of North Dakota, with his 63-yard boot,
which exceeded by one yard the won
derful kick Of Pat ODea, made way
back in 1893.
Five Of the long-distance boots of
1915 were made for more than so
yards, Wilcox leading with a. 55-yard
wallop; Guernsey Of Yale. So yards,
and Cody of Vanderbilt, Ewing Of Penn
State, and Parker of Dubuque. hold
ing q tie for fourth honors with boots
Of SO yards.
Many gridiron dopesters r predict
ing that the record Of 1915 will be ex-
ceeded this year.

eye-balls protrude from their sockets
more than the, average mans. The

til they appear almost red. When he
Is In a crowd, Villas gaze shifts like
lightning to every part of the compass,
possibly on guard against some would
be assassin; but when he is alone with
a man, Villas eyes bore through him
like q knife.
Arms Out Of. Proportion.
villa Is five feet, ten inches In height.
He is heavy-limbed and thick-chested.
His arms are unusually long. They
are out Of proportion to the rest of his
body and reach nearly to his knees.
His hands, oddly enough, are as soft as
a woman's. When he shakes hands.
his grasp is flabby. He weighs about
$50 pounds.
His head and neck recall pictures of
Roman gladiators. His neck is thick
as a mans thigh and very short. His
head is large, a little too large for the
rest Of his body. 1t Is crowned by
black, curly hair, which he rarely
brushes. A bald spot is beginning to
appear at the top. The forehead Is the
n redeeming feature Of his counten-
ance; it is high and well.formed.
His skin, is light brown but notified
with dark patches, evidently the re-
suit of many years spent In the open.
His ears are large and ugly. His nose
is wide-nostriled but small. His cheeks
are fat.
The mouth reveals all the savag
cruelty and cunning Of the man. The
short upper-lip does not conceal a
set Of scraggly. dark-stained teeth. The
shortness Of this lip, which rarely
touches the lower makes 1t appear as
though Villa were always grinning.
The thickness Of both lips gives him q
beastial, sensual expression that is
heightened by the slow, almost PONDER
GUS, n in which he moves about.
A long. stern chin and a lower jaw
that protrudes disclose the inherent
cruelty In him.
Talks Like a Child.
A strange contrast to the rest of
his physical makeup is Villas voice.
It is high-pitched and weak, except
when he shouts orders. Most OF the
time, though, It Is q peculiar blend Of
a whine and,a drawl. To hear It and
not see the speaker, one would think
a ~ten-year-old child vas speaking.
His strength is a by-word among his
fellows. He has been known to pick up
and set on Its feet q small mule that
had slipped and fallen while dragging
n caisson through miry roads.
Native refugees arriving at this
camp from the South say he Is heavier
now than he ever was before. He wears
n beard several inches long and limps
from the wound he received at Guer.
zero Inst March. Most Of the time he
uses a crutch, which Is strapped to the
side Of his saddle when he mounts
q horse.
