How to control these effects is the investigator $
problem, with regard to the thyroid, ana ne Is
working at it constantly.
Just below the thyroid gland, which fits
against the seventh ring of the windpipe' IS the
thymus, another extremely important gland, and
one which may exercise a strong influence on
the body, though practically nothing Is known
about its functions. This gland is generally sup
posed to reach its maximum growth at birth,
though this is not regarded as certain. Expert
ments with guinea pigs have proved that it might
be removed without causing death, but recipro-
cal relation between this gland and vital bodily
functions is believed to exist.
The pituitary gland, already mentioned, is in
the brain and below it, nearer the base, is the
pineal, small reddish body which develops as
an outgrowth of the third ventricle of the brain
After the period of adolescence it tends to dis
appear, and some authorities believe it does dis
appear altogether. These observers declared that
Its function was to inhibt the development of
children in such way as to keep their growth
normal and regular This conclusion was reached
after 1t had been noticed that pathological
growths which practically destroyed the glandu-
lar tissue resulted in the accelerated development
Of the child and in precocious mentality.
Others declare that the pineal stin exists in
the adult and exercises some kind Of sway. the
nature Of which has not yet been determined
The adrenal glands or suprarenal capsules as
they are more commonly called, rest above and
against the liver and are very necessary 70 life
Their extirpation results almost Immediately in
death-much more quickly than in the case Of a
thyroid removal Extracts Of this gland when
shot into the blood, slow the beat of the heart and
increase the blood pressure though these symp-
toms thus far have been temporary only.
These glands also respond quickly 10 a high
state of emotion. Prof. Keith an English sci
enlist, in a series Of lectures delivered recently
before the Royal Institute in London explained
that the suprarenals furnished a sort Of love
potion to the body by flooding the blood vessels
under the stress Of emotional excitement II was

of love-" he said because the reactions OF the
tissue 10 this action Of the suprarenals was clos
~ akin to the phenomenon Of intoxication. These
symptoms are also observable where the subieet
feels intense fear.
And so with the other ductless glands. Tbav
are still largely mysteries, but enough is know
70 make scientific men feel that they are the real
reservoirs Of life and that their influence over
physiological and psychological phenomena

certain that the great life changes are dictated
by these centres.

passing these substances out through that vast
system of piping known the blood vessels or
through that even more intricate network of tiny
hose emptying into all parts of the body, known
as the lymphatics.
The exact nature and degree of effect which
this glandular fluid has on the body, and particu-
lary on the brain, has never been determined
But that It's effect is potent has been proved be-
yond all doubt by the observation of cases where
these glands were defOrmed removed.
In most cases death follows the removal Of
any one of them. If a child were born with

4 N Englishman named Julian Huxley proved
~ eonelusvely by experimenting with tank
ful Of Mexican tadpoles that an extract
drawn from the thyroid gland and injected into
these quaint though backward little reptiles,
would UNNECESSARILY accelerate the growth of
certain organisms The French Voronoff had al
ready proclaimed that the thyroid gland the
seat Of al life and that there was no scientific
reason why life couldn't be indefinitely prolonged,
II the worn out thyroid were continuously re-
placed by a one.
But whereas Voronoff and Julian confined
their experiments to the thyroid glands, biol
ogistS, Anatomists and other specialists in the
functional activities Of the human body are now
fascinstedly observing all of the so-called duct
less glands in the hope of day fixing definitely
their exact functions. Not only the thyroid-but
the thymus, the pituitary, the pineal and the
supra renal glands suspected of being impli-
Gated IN those frequent pranks that nature plays
upon the body and the mind. That they the
fonts from which flows the very elixir of life is
considered reasonable in view of the clinical evil
dence gathered by those who have been studying
these glands.
The strange ease Of Edna Willsey-the pretty
Is-year-old confessed thief whose victims always
forgave her-may yet furnish evidence that will
further define the power and the influence of the
thyroid and by analogy all of the other ductless
glands This girl is now under the observation
Of a specialist in New York City. She is known
20 have an abnormal thyroid gland and rela-
tionship between this fact and her moral conduct
Is suspected. Nothing in the way of tests which
might substantiate this hypothesis win be omit

Edna Willsey was employed as a nurse in the
Manhattan State Hospital Wards Island,

what she admitted herself was theft. At the in
stance both Of DR.. Marcus Heyman, superin-
tsndent, and Miss Rose Reilly, a fellow nurse,
she was arrested But this girl exercised
strange charm on everybody with whom she came

Tombs Prison arranged her bail, the district at

hospital. When he observed so much reluctance
70 prosecute on the part OF officials he asked that
the girl and her mother be sent up 70 him for
an interview. While talking 20 the girl he no

immediately asked Judge Talley IN General Ses-
sions 70 suspend sentence pending an examina-
ton Of this gland. This was done.
DR.. HeymRn thought that a connection be-

oped that she had been so charged before-and

When asked for more detailed hypothesis DR..
Heyman replied frankly that when one began to
talk Of the ductless glands he could only indulge
IN scientific speculation as there was nothing

their influence
Lured into a detailed discussion, DR..
Heyman said that, broadly speaking, insanity or
mental alteration, so called, could be divided
into two classes, e. g.-the organic, when the
organ itself physiologcally attacked-and
the functional. Into this latter class fell the
great majority of mental Observation-Disclosures
which frequently resulted in violent abnormal
conduct. In many cases the brains of persons
who had died during these spells of violence had
been examined Immediately after death without
furnishing any clinical evidence. In other words
they were normal physiologically.

PineaI Inhibits Child's Development

Science has never fully accepted the major
premise Of Voronoffs theory of indefinite life,
but science has all the respect in the world for
the power of the thyroid and feels that immense
possibilities in the way of restoring youth lie in
its manipulation.

The ductless glands include

glomus caroticum. By ductless,
the anatomist means that the
gland, unlike many others in
the body, has no channel to the
exterior through which to dis

The site is located about one half
mile from the postoffice is reached
by fine automobile road which will
have signs placed along it to direct
the tourists.
Washburn is one Of fifty cities in
the state offering free camping
grounds to tourists. 1t is one of
tire cities in the northern part
of the state so designated, and it is
expected that as a result of the adj
vertising which we will receive
through the State Highway Commits
sion and through newspapers that
the tourist trade to this city will be
extremely heavy during the summer
season.
Wisconsin is known the country
over as the playground of the mid
die west. 1t is noted for its ex-
cellent roads which are the best
marked of any state in the country,
and this fact is being advertised ex-
tensivelv the Wisconsin Commission,
who has just ssued MAPS indicating
the cities which have offered free
camp sites and Washburn is promin-
emily mentioned. These maps and
other literature are being sent broad
cast through the states of Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota
and the Dakotas, while newspapers
of the state have already started
printing locations where the tourists
can find free camp sites and some of
the papers will carry stories con-
corning these stiles.
The City. Council and the Com
mercial Club realizes the Importance
of this free tourist camp site and
that no finer place could be offered
than the one offered by this city. No
doubt the place will become popular
this season.

The site extends down to the lake
where there is a fine bathing beach,

which makes it ideal for bathing for
children as well as grown-ups. On
the beach bath house has been

will see that everything about the
place is kept in order and that the

to make them ideal for camping.

equipment which could be used by
campers.
