Record la Reviewed.
"It is with feeling of genuine grief"
the order said, "that the Secretary of
the Navy announces the death at 6:56
P. SL yesterday at his residence in
Washington, of the Admiral of the
Navy. '
"The career of George Dewey ran in
full current to the end.' Vermont was
his mother state and there was always
In his character something of the gran
ite or cis native hills. Dewey was un
der fire with Farragut lh the Mlsslsslp
pi River and bore himself gallantly
throughout the war between the states.
"The battle in Manila Bay on May
1. 1898, made him the foremost naval
officer since Farragut and victor of
the first American sea tight with
foreign foe since the War of 1812.
" 'Gentlemen, a higher power than
we has won this battle today, the
Commodore said to his captains at the
conclusion of the battle, when It had
been learned that the victory, one of
the most decisive in our history, had
been won without the loss of a single
American seaman. In peace, in war, in
sickness. In health, in victory and in
conflict, and In every relation of life
Admiral Dewey invariably exhibited
the virtues of the patriot and the
Christian.
Service la Peace Distinguished.
"His wide life, 62 years of which'
wore, spent in the Navy, was full of
honorable achievement and his serv
ice in peace has been hardly less dis
tinguished than his laurels in war. As
president of the general board of the
Navy since its inception, he has played
a leading part in making the Nation
ready for war on the seas. The same
statesmanlike qualities which he ex
hibited in handling the international
situation in Manila after the battle of
May" 1. 189S, he has shown as the head
of this .board of naval experts.
"In recognition of his victory (n
Manila Bay the then Commodore was
advanced one grade to that of Admiral
and in addition received the thanks of
Congress. Later, by special act of
Congress, he was promoted to be the
Admiral of the Navy, a rank never held
by an American naval officer previ
ously, although two, Porter and Farra
gut, were rewarded with the rank of
full Admiral. He was placed by Con
gress on the active list until such
time as he might see fit to apply for
retirement. But his active spirit could
not rest. He never folded his hands.
He chose to die on the bridge, even un
til the pilot came aboard his life craft
who should take him across the bar.
lie died one of the foremost figures of
modern times.
All Ships to Fire Salutes.
'On the day of the funeral the flag
will be displayed at half-mast at all
Navy-Yards and stations and on board
all ships in commission, and 19 minute
guns will bo- fired at noon from each
Navy-Yard and from the senior ship
present afloat.
The Navy Department will be draped
and all officers of the Navy and Ma
rine Corps will wear the badge of
mourning with the uniforms for 80
days.
The Navy Department, by executive
order, will be closed on Saturday. Jan
uary 20, 1917.".. -

President Reviews Dewey's Career.
The President's, message follows:
"It is with deepest regret that I an
nounce to the Congress the death of
Admiral George Dewey at 6:56 o'clock
on the afternoon of yesterday, the 16th
of January, at his residence in this city.
Admiral Dewey entered the naval
service of the country as an acting
midshipman from the First Congres
sional District of Vermont on Septem
ber 23, 1854; was graduated from the
Naval Academy as midshipman June 11,
1858; served with distinction through
out the war of 1861-1865, and 80 years
later had risen to the rank of Com
modore.
It was as Commodore that he ren
dered the service in the action of Ma
nila Bay, which has given him a place
forever memorable in the naval an
nals of the country. At the time of
his death he held the exceptional rank
of the Admiral of the Navy by special
act of Congress. During the later
years of his life he was the honored
president of the. General Board of the
Navy, to whose duties he gave the
most assiduous attention and of which
office he rendered a service . to the
Navy quite invaluable In its. sincerity
and quality of practical sagacity.
Sterling dualities Mentioned.
It is pleasant to recall what quali
ties gave him his well-deserved fame.
his practical directness, his courage
without self-consciousness, his effl
cient capacity in matters of adminls
tratlon, the readiness to fight without
asking any questions or hesitating
about any details. It was by such qual
ities that he continued and added lus
ter to the best traditions of our Navy.
He had the stuff in him which all true
men admire and upon which all states
men must depend in hour of peril.
The people and the Government of
the United States will always rejoice
to perpetuate his name in all honor
and affection."
President Wilson also Issued the fol
lowing executive order:
As a token of respect to the memory
of Admiral George Dewey it is hereby
ordered that the National flag be dis
played at .half-mast upon all publlo
buildings and at all forts and military
posts and naval stations and all ves
sels of the United States in commis
sion until after the funeral shall have
taken place, and that on the day of
the funeral the executive offices in the
city of Washington be closed."
Washing Won Rid
Head of Dandruff
The only Bure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about fou
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply
It at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single" Bign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous. glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
score, tt is inexpensive ana never falls
to do the work. Adv. '

India paper makes the new
Encyclopaedia Britannica so light
in weight that you can easily lift,
it and move it about and there
are 44,000,000 words, 30,000
' pages, 15,000' illustrations and
maps in it!
Only a few sets printed on gen
uine India paper are still unsold.
Act at once if you hope to own
one of these. They are the last
that can be offered printed on this
marvelous thin-and-tough paper.
ANYTHING that we might say as to the
J-jl advantages of the Britannica printed
on India paper could not be put stronger and
more convincingly than is this paragraph:
By 2 Big City Merchant
"I bought the Britannica to use. I expect to get'out ol it in
dollars many times more than I paid for it I know what
a wonderful book it is for anyone who uses it ' India paper
makes it so light, so convenient, so inviting, that one can't fail to
read it frequently. You say the Britannica printed on India
paper is 'five times more valuable than on ordinary book
paper. I.should say -'a hundred times more valuable.' This is
based on my own experience. .
"I owned a set of the old Britannica on heavy paper, but I
didn't read in it four times a year. It was too heavy; I never had
much inclination to look up anything in those big, bulky books.
"I've had the new Britannica, printed on the
delightful India paper, less than six months. I
use it constantly, looking up whatever I want
to know, sometimes reading as many as four
and five articles a night."
This experience is repeated over and over in the case of
owners of the new Britannica, for of the 160,000 sets already sold,
more than 150,000 were India
paper sets. The use of this won
derful linenlike paper for print
ing the world's most interesting
and most comprehensive book of
knowledge was inspired by the
thought that it would increase
the handiness of the Britannica
hence, increase its real value
to those who possess it
You,' no doubt, know what a remarkable work the Britannica is an inexhaustible fund of facts
and information. Its highest practical value to you or any one else depends, of course, upon its
actual, frequent use.
All you desire to know, from the making of bricks to the building of empires, from the life of
the bee to the biography of great men, is in the Britannica. t But you must read it to acquire this
information. And India paper encourages reading.
An India paper set is a standing invitation to read. Each volume is so light in weight so easy to
handle, so delightful to hold, that you naturally turn to the Britannica for the answers to questions
or when seeking facts common and uncommon.
You want this marvelous work the most complete and authoritative that ever came from the
printing press, and you ought to have it on genuine India paper. But if you want a set you must
act immediately. There are left but a few thousand sets on this famous paper these are the last that
can be offered. While they last the sets of the popular "Handy Volume" Issue of the Britannica in

Miss Gertrude B. Lane. Editor of the Wo
man's Home Companion, writes: "Since the
publication of the "Handy Volume" Britan
nica the task of dragging down a heavy,
bulky book from the shelf is no looser a
matter for serious consideration; perhaps
that is why I have found myself really using
the book dozens of times each day rather
than merely referring to it occasionally to
dear up some obscure point in my reading."
