ADMIRAL DEwEYs BIRTHDAY,

Admiral Dewey, who has just cele-
brated his SEVENTEEN birthday. takes
view Of life that may we'll be rec
commended to people Of a pessimistic
turn of mind. The admiral is the
Oldest man in the navy in point of
service. with a record OF fifty-three
years. His record of heroic deeds,
too. by the way, has placed his name
high In the navy's lists of heroes. So
when Admiral Dewey gives list of
the things that keep man young,
that makes life worth living and
keeps a man in buoyant spirits it is
of more than ordinary interest. He
says:
Every one doesn't have to do a
heroic thing to get comfort, peace
and happiness out of life and live to
enjoy a good old age. Congenial
occupation happy domestic life, to
find that ones friends are stanch
and true, are, to my way of think
ing, the most important factors in
keeping man young and making for
him what is accepted as successful
life
Here's hoping that Admiral Dewey
rounds his eightieth milestone with
heart as Young as it was on his seven
tieth birthday.
