The survey demonstrated that the aver age driver has an exceedingly poor 4«mception of stopping distances— aiwf that he believes he can bring Iris car to a halt in a much shorter apece than is actually required. For example, drivers were asked Jwv many feet would be needed to atop a car with four-wheel brakes moving at a speed of 40 miles per fwur on an ordinary highway. Two Iter cent of the drivers answered ten feet or less; 15.9 per cent an swered 11 to 20 feet; the heaviest majority, 23.2 per cent, answered 31 to 30 feet, and 14.1 per cent an swered 51 to 60 feet. The true answer is 80 feet—and M was given by less than 6 per cent •f Die drivers. Only a minority of motorists realize that, no matter Iww good a car’s brakes, it is im- Boisible to stop within fifty feet— a car going 40 miles an hour skid farther than that with wheels.

How Calotabs Help Nature To Throw Off a Bad Cold Millions have found in Calotabs a most valuable aid in the treatment of colds. They take one or two tab lets the first night and repeat the third or fifth night if needed. How do Calotabs help Nature throw off a cold? First, Calotabs is one of the most thorough and de pendable of all intestinal eliminants, thus cleansing the intestinal tract of the germ-laden mucus and toxines, Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the system. Thus Calotabs serve the double purpose of a purgative and diuretic, both of which are needed in the treatment of colds. . , Calotabs are quite economical; only twenty-five cents for the family package, ten cents for the trial package, (Adv.)

But whatever explanation we ac cept we can be perfectly'sure that this inspired author unconsciously drew a wonderfully fine picture of Jesus. Christians have for long rightly considered Isaiah 53 as the us the burden of our common woe!

There had been no executive authority under the Articles of Confedera tion. One of the first things the Convention decided was that the new Government should consist of three independent branches. Legis lative, Executive and Judicial. But how should the Executive power be set up? Should we have a king? That was seriously debated, and rejected. Should there be an executive com mittee of three to administer the laws? That was considered, but dismissed. It was finally decided doing it, it can still do so. In prac tice, every State permits all voters to vote for Presidential electors, but the President is not elected by the national popular vote. The electors of each State meet and vote as State body, and the candi date who gets the votes of the larger number of electors—not of citizens—is elected President. Sev eral Presidents have thus been elected by a minority of voters. The President is Commander-in- Chief of the army and navy. He has authority to pardon offenders against the laws of the United States. He can make treaties, pro vided two-thirds of the Senators concur, and this same two-thirds vote of the Senate is required to confirm his appointment of Ambas sadors and judicial officers and . others. He is required to “report to Congress from time to time on the state of the Union” and to that the Executive would consist of one man.
