ADMIRAL DEWEY DEAD
Hero OF Manila Bay Dies Of Old Age;
Ranking Naval Officer
STILL IN SERVICE AT EIGHTY

Word was flashed over the world
January 16 OF the death OF Admiral
George Dewey, the United States
naval hero Of the Spanish-American
war. He remained in service to the
last, and for year and a half has
fought off the advances of senility
with the indomitable spirit that took
him thru the defenses of Manila bay
in 1898. Up to a week ago the proud
old fighter seemed strong and hearty.
His demise came with a final break
ing down of his powerful frame. A
few days before the end he collapsed
while setting out from the house,
and by Monday Of this week the
physicians knew there was no hope
of recovery. Mrs. Dewey and the
Admiral's son, George, were at the
bedside.
Only two other men-Farragut
and Porter-have held the rank Of
the admiral Of the American navy,
and since the civil war Admiral
Dewey has been the central figure
in our navy circles. His DEAN brings
to an end 81 years of active service.
He fought thru the civil war, and
was commodore commanding the
Asiatic fleet when he received orders
to destroy the Spanish fleet. He went
into Manila bay after the enemy, 81
fenced the defense guns, and won
far reaching fame not only for him
self, but for the American navy. 1t
was one of the feats that placed the
United tSates in the world power
class. He was advanced to rear-ad-
miral, and then. by congress, made
admiral of the navy, the position he
died still holding. Last week he
was by priority the ranking naval
officer of the world; this week he
has passed into the proud chronicles
of American battle history.
Admiral Dewey has for years
championed an enlarged feet. 1t
was largely due to his influence that,
the general naval board repeatedly
asked congress for more ships than
it would allow, until finally the big
building program was adopted.
President Wilson authorized the
following statement at the White
House on receipt of news of the Adj
miral's death:
in expressing his grief at the
death of Admiral Dewey the Presi-
dent said the whole nation will
mourn the loss of its most distin-
guished naval officer, a man who has
been as faithful, as intelligent and
as successful in the performance of
the responsible duties in time of
peace as he was gallant and success
full in time of war ills just such
men that gives the service distinction
and the nation q just pride in those
who serve it."

THE FOOD sOT

The poor gink who tries to pour
all the booze down his own throat
is not the only drunkard. There are
a great many persons who would
draw away from a jag in holy hor-
or, but who will sit down at table
and stuff themselves until their fat
faces turn purple. They go on a
jag every time they eat meal. They
cram away enough to kill a7mule and
then play golf and take hot baths to
reduce the fat. The exercise they
need is the exercise of a little will.
Even hog will quit when 1t has
had enough, but it remains for man,
the supposedly superior beast, to poke
food into his gullet long after his
hunger has been satisfied.
There are men keen in the bust
ness world who would fire the head
of department If they caught him
deliberately doing something to Inn
pair his efficacy; yet these same men
who should have better sense, will
sit down to the table and gormandize
in a way to bring shame to a self
respecting hog. They eat themselves
into a premature grave or into
state of obese inefficiency. Obesity
is dangerous. Insurance science
teaches us the peril of too much fat.
How often have you heard some
fat person say, ooh. IL l could only
reduce my weight" Then see him
sit down and eat enough for ten men,
You fst stiff, you don't need medi-
cine, you don't need to spend money
for expensive systems. Quit max
ing a pig of yourself; cut out the
flesh pots. Use a little will power.
You can get rid of that IL you will
quit feeding it. Try it and see.
