A list of honors and decorations won by members of the Canadian Ex- pedit'onary Force, compiled by th Militia Department, shows that 40 Victoria Crosses, the highest award obtainable, have been awarded to soldiers of the Dominion. The Dis- tinguished Service Order was won by 491 Canadians, and 1,657 Military Crosses were awarded to officers of red matters were related by the gar- the C.E.F.

Miss Plum, kneeling beside her to contribute a final touch to the skirt, now rose, removed three pins from her mouth, and viewed the - radiant girl admiringly. "You look jes" beautiful, Win," said she, her pale eyes shining, her own • angular lack of beauty quite forgot- ten. "No wonder he's crazy aboucha.

Canadians mentioned in despatches numbered 8,338. Of 'foreign honors awarded to Canadians, the Croix de Guerre heads the list in point of number; 805 members of the C.E.F. won this decoration, The Cross of St. George (Russian) was given to 102 men from the Dominion, and the Medellin Militaire to 45. Twenty men from Canada won the Italian Bronze Medal for military valor. A number of other distinctions, in - eluding 125 C,M,G,'s, were also awarded to members of the C.E.F. Ready to Start.

Has it ever occurred to the major- ity that those pr eeless things --ideals of liberty and justice and right living —can be neither bought nor sold? They are not heirlooms and no parent can hand, them down ticketed and tied like goverment bonds or enclosed, like jewels, in a strong box. They may be "recommended" and even insisted upon but are adapted voluntarily, or tot at all. These facts offer food for serious thought on the part of those who are responslleile for Canada's future. Whatever ideals it is desirable for the citizens of to -morrow to possess must be instilled into the coneoiousfese of the children of to -day. Tho process is the tedious one of "line Upon litre, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little"—a process at times in, epiring but more often than not dis- couraging. It is a process little realized in the main because its work- ings are unseen, Not until the gen, enation 'stands ready Tor citizenship can it be seen that damage has been done. Only then !stone aware of the existence of the harmful influence, Human careers are too precious to b submitted to this exploitation and the moat serious duty confronting patriots to -day is the provision of influences that will produce high standards of living for generations to conte. Had this truth been recognized from any other than a largely theo- retical stand point by the men and women of the preceding and the present generation it would not have been possible for the vicious theories promulgated by Frederick the Great (wrongly sp called) to be working themselves out to -clay in Prussian atrocities. There can not be too vigorous pushing of baby welfare movements or the establishment and maintainence of supervised playa s'rou nds. By Scout movements, na- tional health boards, carefully consid- ered housing schemes, city planning and every other movement that cen- tres in the cleanest, finest living. An examination into the things in which all were most keenly concerned a decade ago will not result in a list of these things as national interests. Every one of them must be absorbing interests if Prussianism is to be stamped out forever. Delicious Carrot Cookery. Delectable dishes are made from the "despised" and humble carrot. It is health -giving food, blood purifying and is truly delicious when the taste for carrot cooking has been acquired.

It has comeeto the attention of the Canada Food Board that a consider able amount of dried beet pulp or sugar beet meal has been accumulated at certain sugar refineries in Ontario, and is being quoted at $55.00 a ton, feeb, Chatham, Wallaceburg and Kitchener. In view of the urgent demand for finished cattle, feeders would be well advised to inquire into the value of this material and to utilize it wherever obtainable to ad- vantage. It is the desire of the Food Board that this feed be used in Canada rather than to permit its export. Farmers and live stock men are ad- vised to form co-operative groups to purchase car load lots of government feed or feed from the regular trade, without delay, so as lto avoid difficulty and delay incidental to winter trans portation. Government feed will be supplied upon application to the Feed Division, Live Stook Breech, Depart- ment of Agriculture,, Ottawa. Bran and shorts, upon which there has been no,basic advance upon the prices fixed some months ago, are handled by the regular trade, audenot by the Teed Division.
