EX-CONVICT HEROES.

ONE WINS VICTORIA CROSS. A roll of lioiiour, which forms :i iiobio commentary on the scrupulous impuriiiility of British police methods und the undeviatin£ fairness of British justice, is in the proud keeping of the authorities at New Scotland Yard. It is a roll of honour of men who forsook their life of crime and voluntarily offered their lives to their country on the outbreak of war. There are 70 names on the roll —all of them of men who were criminals and because clean-living, self-sac-rificing soldiers when they realised that their country was in peril. The majority of these 70 men have been killed in action. Some of them were decorated for bravery. One man was awarded the Victoria Cross for a brilliant achievement in the German trenches in Prance; another was decorated by the Tsar with the St. George’s Cross. This roll of honour is, of course, not for public inspection; it is a confidential record, and, framed in oak, hangs in the private rooms of Mr Basil Thomson, Assistant Commissioner, Criminal Investigation Department. Immediately underneath the scroll is a semi-circle containing the following apt quotation, chosen by Mr Thomson: — “Even those who come short, in other ways may redeem themselves by fighting bravely for their country; they may blot out the evil with the good, and benefit the State more by their public services than ever they injured her by their private actions.” —Pericles to the Athenians.

THERE IS ONLY ONE SANDER EXTRACT, and that is why the people insist on getting it, and why they reject the many inferior substitutes and the cheap and frequently harmful “just as goods.” The GENUINE SANDER EXTRACT is free from the objectionable qualifies of the common eucalyptus oils and the socalled “extracts.” SANDER’S EXTRACT is the most powerful antiseptic and healing remedy that can be used with safety; it prevents and cures all infectious disease — influenza, colds, fevers, smallpox, diphtheria, flatulence, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, dysentery and kidney troubles. SANDER’S EXTRACT, applied to ulcers, burns, sprains, cuts, inflamed and itching skin, gives instant relief and cures permanently. Three drops in a teaspoonful of cod liver oil (s a specific in all chronic lung affections Rheumatism, neuralgia and toothache are quickly dispelled by it. Reliability, effectiveness and purity are the great attributes of SANDER’S EXTRACT.
