JUDGE MORRIS ON
DRINKING AND
PROHIBITION
To the Voters of the Eighth
Supreme Judicial
District:

It has come to me from different
sources that some persons are circu-
latins a report to the effect that I
drink intoxicating liquors too freely to
make a safe judge of the Court of Civil
Appeals. As my opponent, judge Har-
per. is a regular drinker of intoxicating
liquors. and knows that do not drink
such liquors at all. 1 do not believe
that he is responsible for the circu-
lation OF such reports, but some of his
Over-zealous friends have seized upon
such report and are circulating il.
This report probably arose from the
fact tEat some years age L was a
drlnker of intONicants- In reply to such
reports I have to say that I am a total
abstainer from the use Of all intoxi-

eating drinks and have not drunk in
toXicating liquors Of any kind in three
and a half years
Now, as to the question Of prohibi-
ton. 1 have insisted that ones views
on that subject should not influence
the selection of judges. believing that
no competent judges decision on law
questions would be influenced by his
views on that subject, but there are
many voters in this district who insist
on knowing the views Of all candidates
on that subject.
In answer to inquiries and to avoid
Misunderstanding I may state that
there is no issue between judge Har-
per and myself on that question, as we
are both ants.

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

Its Periods Of Repose.
All the organs OF lift. 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 fresh act. Between
each expiration Of the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there is a 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 in part during sleep.
Old Psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure Of the
blood on the brain. But modern physi-
Ology. with 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

fuse stepped on the bale of the bucket
and started upward. When about ten
feet from the bottom one Of the men
had an epileptic fit and toppled out.
His partner tried to reach the bell cord
to stop the bucket, but it was too late,
The bell cord could he reached only
from the lower part Of the shaft

come through the collar of the shaft at
the surface his face blanched.
