the following is taken; The story
from which these words are. taken
is a story of national progress. It
is also one of supernatural progress.
For us the supernatural is, in the
highest and truest sense of the wor
natural, for it is the revelation of
the nature of God. We acceptthe
possibility of the supernatural and
miraculous, but -all the more for that
do we hold that if God interferes :n
the affairs of men miraculously, He
will not do it capriciously, unneco4•
sarily,' wantonly. Upon the w'ho'le
story of these Jewish miracles there
'is stamped a character which marks
distinctly the reason for which they
were wrought; that reason was the
religious education of the world. By
these miracles the Jew was taught
.that for nations and men there is a
God, an eternal and a personal will
above us and around us, that works
for righteousness. This great fact
was taught him by illustrated lesson
by picture illuminated with the Div-
ine ,light and sofilled with the Divine
color that they stand and last for all
time.
The lesson that seems definitely
stamped on•the story of the miracu-
lous passage of the Red Sea is t)•:o
lesson of fearlesanesa in. the dis-
charge of duty, of resolute walking
in the way that we know to be God's
way for us. For individuals and for
nations God hag appointed a -law of

Taxes May Bring
•
Pigmy Car Vogue
Automobile taxes, if they continue
to mount at the present rate in the
United 'Statee, will force acceptance
in that coli ' .r•y of the midget ear.
The American public, at least in a
general sense,, does not want the
midget. That was proved in the
rapid decline of the cycle cars a de-
cade ago. It has been demonstrated
inure recently by indifference to ban -
cant models. But when annual taxes
teach a point, es they already have
in some 'localities, of representing 30
per cent. of the value of the car, it-
self. a radical revision in •tastes and
manufacturing becomes a virtual cer-
tui°.ty.
The so-called midget or bantam
car has had its principal vogue in
Europe. It most frequently is seen
in the runabout type. Wheelbases
range from '70•to 90_inehes. Motors
r.ate-sewen to nine hnrseinweer The
cars are exceedingly ,plain and slug-
gish in acceleration. Their redeem -
feature is economical operation.
Exoribitant taxeshave made the
market for the midget car in Europe.
Yet surprising as it may seem, the
levies are scarcely higher than the.
burden which has now been placed
on the American motorist.
at is. significant that the three
lowest priced makes in the United
States .market are one-two three in
sales volume. :Many, companies are
eyeing the field even 'below these
cars.
It is not expected, however,' that
the American manufacturer will
plunge to the extreme of the bantam
immediately. A purchaser would not
be satisfied with nine horsepower
when he is used to 25 and 30., Nor
with 80 inches or room when he is
accustomed to 110. There is talk in
engineering circles of 100 -inch cars
powered by 20 -horse engines. Some
of these may 'be on the market by
autumn.
Boy Earl From Canada Has
Another Fortune Left Him
It is said that by the recent death
of Lucy Countess of Egmont the es-'
tate of the present boy earl, who had
'never met . his kinswoman, benefits
by more than £60;41.0..
This sum was. et aside to secure
for thecountess, who was the widow
of the seventh earl, an income of
£2,000 a year, and seemingly reverts
to the estate of the Earl of Egmont.
The 18 -year-old earl, who- succeed-
ed to the title last month on the death
of his father. the '"Rancher Eari,"
from Western Canada from injuries
received in a motor car accident, al-
so inherits nine heirloom pictures
and former Earls of Egmont and
members of the family which Lucy
Countess of Egmont was allowed to
keep after the death of her hiasband
'The Rancher .Earl's estate has been.
valued at £282,000, but there were
heavy 'succession duties when the
Earl died and the rancher from Can-
ada succeeded to the title, and now
more duties are payable, which 'with
.other complications, constitute a ter-
ribly puzzling problem for the inex-
perienced lad who has been plunge.t
into a situation so strange and baf
fling to him.
Beginning July .21st there will 'be
a four-day sale in London of the el'
fects of the late countess at her
home in Eaton Square. - •
The Indispensable Vitamins
Vitamins are. indispensable to
health. In order to secure proper
growth and to Keep the body func-
tioning normally, a sufficiency of ,'Vit -
mins must be available in the foods
which we use. The absence of vit-
amins from the diet leads to loss of
health and to disease.
In' the days of sailing vessels,
scurvy wa:, a common disease among
sailors, and its .victims included may
of the early settlers in Canada. The
occurrence of scurvy is due 'to the
fact that one of the vitamins found
abundantly in fresh fruit juices and
green, vegetables is not contained in
the diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables
were seldom obtainable on the long
sailing voyages or during the winter
months in the early days of Canada;
and so it was that scurvy developed.
'Most of our knowledge concerning
the vitamins has came from contrci-
led feeding experiments on animals.
It has not been possible to isolate
the vitamins from foods, and so theft
ps'esenee in different foods is known
by the effects .of feeding.
The vitamins have been labelled
with the letters of the alphabet. Vit-
amin A, which infl,ilexaees the growth
of children and ,the absence of which
causes a certain inflammation of the
eyes, is found in milk and milk pro-
ducts, green vegetables., eggs and cod
liver oil. Vitamin C is the vitamin
which controls scurvy, just as viz -
amain D is the preventive of rickets.
The diseases 'which result from the
lack of vitamins are called deficiency
disease.. A number of cases of
mild rickets still occur in this coun-
try, but we do not find cases of many
other deficiency diseases. The im-
portant and practical point to be re-
membered in connection with vita-
mins is that even a partial lack of
any or all the vitamins leads to ill
health, and is .likely responsible 'for
ny of the. idl-defined physical t> u -
es of children and adults..
There is no reason for us to be-
came aver -solicitous abotat vitamins in
our diet. There is no need to mem-
orize the vitamin content of foods.
As a matter of feet, from the prae-
tionl -point of view, the problem of
securing a sufficiency of vitamins in
our daily diet is one of the easiest
which we are called upon to solve.
As a ,result, of much painstaking
research, the foods in which the var-
ious vitamins are to be found have

an extraordinary activity in improv-
ing accorfiinodation fon guests, for
year by year licenses were being re-
duced and only the best conducted
premises had reasonable hope of sur-
vival. That was a -golden age for a
certain school of architect when the
ambition of every hotel was to look
like a bank and 'the ambition of
every batik, was to look -like a Greek
temple. They decorated all the chief
corners of the city in the down town
district and were a gaudy sight for
strangers who now and then made
'a natural mistake of entering n bank
to get a drink and enterjng a saloon
-to cash -..a cheque Thexg_rnay. have_
been two or, three places, such as
Sullivan's and Stormont's, among
the most popular in the city, where
it . would have been just as easy for
a stranger to cash a cheque as get a
roarrrl, and where ,patrons, out ofre-
spe,ct for the arteries of the pro•
prietors, made neither demand.
As we' have said before the char-
acter of the proprietors, added to the
fact that a hotel license was at that
time an extremely valuable fran-
chise, discouraged immoralities. There
were, perhaps, not a dozen places in
Toronto where women were habdtu-
ally served, and the machinations o'
the white slaver had declined to the
inini.mum. But the American saloon
'was altogether different. The re'ai
vice of the American saloon, the
crime that drove it out of business
was not the selling of liquor. It was
its influence in politics. Every
saloon was a headquarters for a poli-
tical group, and in the large cities
for a dishonest and incompetent
political group. The saloonkeepers.
contributed to the party funds, and
in return were granted the privilege
of breaking every law made •to con-
trol them. They were open twenty-
four hours a day and for seven days
in the week. ,Many of them were
rendezvous for criminals. They were
social ulcers. In fact we doubt if
we could have loved them very much.
Something, of course, might • be
said on the other, gide; too, and at
this time rather 'ooingly. In, any,
American city a man could 'get -a
meal and a glass of beer for a nickel.
That is to say he could eat well and
amply for 15c a day, The free lunch
was undoubtedly the greatest con-
tribution the United States has made
to the welfare of the world since the
establishment of the republic. But
the saloon' nevertheless was the fre-
quent and indeed favored site of
murders and robberies. Only too
often the proprietor was a former
criminal and only too often an ac-
tively practising criminal. It was
from the vices rather than . the
virtues of the old American saloo-a
that the American people, particu-
larly those American people. who ac -
aired their information about it
from the newspapers and Ten Nights
in a Bar Room, got their picture of
it. • Their horror. remains so great to •
day that no important American poli-
tician dares ' openly to advecate its
return. •

Ontario Hotel and
the American 'Saloon
Our recent outgivings on the ques-
tion of the saloon 'have been'recei'ved
with such tumulous enthusiasm that
we are inclined t tempt fortune .fur-
ther. We do not, eludet among the
dissentients -the learned and urbane
Dr. Hardy whose delight in our writ-
ings he finds it impossible to conceal.
inuch,to our satisfaction, even if our
ideas on this subject do .not coincide.
We desire to point out the essential
difference between the American
saloon now degenerated into the
speakeasy, and the Ontario hotel as
it existed until 1916. Now while it
seemed good tactics for the prohibi-
tionist crusader of the old unhappy
O.T.A. days to speak of the Ontari y
hotel as a saloon, and while Hon.
Mr. Rowell, with a good deal more
decency and self-restraint than most
of his colleagues, campaigned against
the open bar, there was little in com-
mon between our hotel, open bar and
all, and the American Saloon. lo
fact, we have sufficient respect for
American public opinion to believe
that if the American saloon had been
like the Ontario hotel it never would
have been abolished. Certainly there
existed in the United Statesat theitime national prohibition was en-
acted no such extraordinary and for-
tuitous combination of circumstanees
as destroyed the Ontario hotel. Forexample,exaple, Woodrow Wilson was not
the sort of man who could be forced
down for morning prayers on the
floor of his study by an itinerant up-
lifter.Let us then recall the Ontario
hotel in 1914, and let us incidentally
remember that it was in defence of
the hotel as it then existed that Sir
James Whitney, in that year had won
the greatest political victory ever
achieved by the Conservative party
in this province. What the hotel
had been beforethe late Hon. W. J,

Licenses were granted in 'conformity,

that inequality in capacity and am-

to be thrown into the garbage can,
