Ten years ago Dr. Dessauer conceived the idea that these effects might be due to differences in the number or kind of fons in the air, ions being electrified gas atoms known to vary in number and character from time to time and in"different kinds of weather. To test the idea, apparatus has been constructed to manufacture artificial air containing definite num- bers of ions of two kinds, those electri fied with positive electricity and those carrying negative electricity, Experi ments on animals have now been ex- tended to healthy human beings.

Morris Longstreth, Discovers Control Seat Of Glandular Activities The "tuber cinereum," a small pro- jection from the base of the brain, has been discovered, so he believes, to be the seat of the control for gland activi- ties by Professor L. O. Morgan, of the University of Cincinnati, who has been studying this organ in the brains of dogs. His findings were reported as Including the discovery of certain groups of living cells which control the secretion of body chemicals by the various glands, including the adrenal glands and thg.thyroid glands. Professor Morgan has found this or- gan in the body of rats and even men to be full of these cells. He recalls that experts have already discovered that disease or disturbance of thie organ often causes body changes, hot and cold flashes, changes in blood pree- sure and changes in eye pupil size, which were thought to be controlled by glandular activity. This brain cell activity ind'rectly guides almost every bodily function through the direct co 'ol of these functions by gland chemicals sent out in the blood Nn messages carrying order many organs of the body. to Lie BABIES are Upset ABY ills and ailments seem twice as serious at night.
