SLEEP AND REST.
Every Organ Of the Human Body Has
Its Periods Of Repose.

Every organ OF the human oooy r1Ae
Its Periods Of Repose.
All the organs OF life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an inter
val Of rest between each combined act
Of contraction and expansion and the
beginning OF a fresh act Between
each expiration OF the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there Is 4 period
Of repose. Psychologists have calcu-
lated that the heart reposes during
about one-fourth OF the time. Certain
OF the other organs suspend their &C
tiVity N part during sleep
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure OF the
blood on the brain. But modern physi-
ology, with Il tendency to regard the
brain as the origin OF all force and Of
all functions OF the body. inclines to
the view that sleep is caused by a
withdra wal OF blood from the brain.
As rule. the larger the brain the
more sleep 1t requires Webster went

Garden Clubs Good Work.

The garden club of Minneapolis has
shown how simple is the problem Of
unsightly vacant lots. Last summer It
succeeded In getting sunnowers and
other plants to grow on nearly four
miles OF street front OF vacant land.
This screened the rubbish heaps from
view. In one street the club cleared
every unoccupied lot. and planted
grass and flowers where the rubbish
had been. When the season closed. the
club had under its care q thousand va

No AUTHORITY For
Kings Gall, Says Knox

LANSING, Mich, April 9.-Chair-
man Frank Knox, of the Republican
state central committee, gave out the
following statement today, relative
TO the call that has been issued by
Paul King, OF Grand Rapids:
"A call for meeting OF the state
central committee has been issued by
Mr.. Paul III. King, secretary OF the
committee. The secretary of the com
mittee Is only authorized TO call q
meeting in the absence or incapacity
OF the state chairman. | have been
neither out OF reach nor incapacitat-
ed. The last meeting Of the state Gen.
trail committee adjourned subject to
the call OF the chairman.
II have not felt that a meeting OF
the state central committee on the
eve OF the state convention to be held
in Bay City could do aught else but
increase the lack OF harmony and
factionalism, now so unfortunately
rampant in the Republican ranks In
Michigan, and consequently I did not
call the committee together. | have
not been asked by one single cleo
tive member OF the committee to call
meeting. Furthermore, 1t Is now
impossible to hold a legal meeting OF
the committee prior to the meeting
OF the state convention, since the
rules OF the committee provide at
least 10 days notice shall be given
to every member OF any meetings
called.
1T is also stated In some OF the
newspapers that an attempt would be
made at this alleged meeting OF the
state central committee to revolution
lie the practice which has always OBJ
tanned in Michigan In settling contest
ed delegations TO state convention
Invariably these contests have beer
settled by the convention itself.
1T Is now proposed that faction
OF the state central committee, com
prising possibly a dozen men, take
this authority upon themselves anc
established a temporary roll call. This
assumption OF authority by a dozer
men to speak for convention or 1,
800 delegates Is preposterous.
"As chairman OF the state central
committee, declare that no lega
meeting OF the state central commit
tee has been called or can be called
for Bay City on April 10 or IL, 1912
because OF the time limitations.
The question of contesting delegates
will be settled at this convention as
In every previous Republican conven'
ton In Michigan, by the convention
itself and not yany faction In the
