THE VICTORIA CROSS

lA s.For yalor," It is these two words (which give to the Victoria Cross a lvaIue which makes it one of the most coveted decorations in the world. There is nothing aristocratic or ex- elusive about the Victoria Cross. Pri- yate Thomas Atkins may-and often does-wear it,. as we'll as the greatest of generals. st
 It was just sixty -one years ago to- day. Feb. g5, 1858, that Queen Victoria instituted the new order of merit, to reward the gallantry of men of all ranks in both the army and the navy. The Crimeang war, which had pro- duced many heroes, was then nearing it's end, and it was the desire of the Queen to reward the brave soldiers who had performed conspicuous deeds in that struggle. The first Victoria crosses were made of Russian cannon captured at NSebastopol, and in 1857 sixty two of these were formally pre- se1ted to as many men of both ser vices.
 Tn. the present war many privates have become the proud possessors Of the Victoria Cross, and these are hon. ored-and envied-by3 all their com rades. "'E's Vi c. man." is the highest. praise one Tommy may say Of another. 7
 The Victoria Cross is not awarded with the reckless prodigality with which the Germans bestow Iron Crosses. Numerous as have been the deeds of valor performed by British, Canadian and Australian troops, the t"V. C. wearer is still a man apart. s
 The insignia is small Maltese cross, and it is said to have been de- signed by Pr1nce Albert, Queen Vic- toria's consort Tn the center of the bronze cross is an imperial crown, with a lion above and a scroll below. with the simple inscription. For Va1or" The cross has an intrinsic value of less than ten cents, and yet to many of it's owners it is more to be valued than millions in gold. Poli- tics and favoritism due to birth or blood play no part in the awarding of the Victoria Cross. as is indicated by the fact that it has never been award ed to any royal member of the Brit ish nobility.

Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of Scott's Emulsion which isa
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.
