Baptist Adopt
Program, Close
Yearly Session

OKLAHOMA CITY, May Il. -
Having made plans for a nation
wide evangelistic program ana
adopted a declaration of religious
independence, most Of the lO,OOO
DELEGATES to the Southern Baptist
convention started homeward
and left tonight's closing session
in the hands of their young peo-
pie.
Among the principal accom-
pIishments of the convention was
the completion of initial steps to-
ward planning an evangellstlc
program in cooperation with the
Northern Baptist convention.
The conventions decision TO
make Evangelism the major pro-
gram for 1910 followed reports
of unprecedented gains during
the past year. DR.. Leavvell said
256,814 were baptized last year
the largest number of converts in
the history OF the southern group.
He predicted that number would
be nearly doubled this year.
'America seems to be exper-
fenced revival of sin-destroy-
ing, character-forming Christian
ity more fervent than at any time
since the World War;" DR.. Lea
veil declared.
Another major issue decided at
the convention was the unani-
NOUS adoption of a pronounce
ment on religious liberty involv-
ing the relation of the church
and state.

ward paternalism" in the United
States government; coercion of
religious bodies through special
taxes; ''the use of tax-raised

Hospital Assn.
N. C. Hospital Saving Assn.
Plan Made Rapid Pro-
gress Last Year.

The annual report of Felix A.
Grisette, executive director OF
the Hospital Saving Association
of North Carolina, released to-
day. reveals that the net number
of members in force at the end
of 1888 was 83,436a a gain of 49,
518 during the year. AS of the
present date the net total is in
excess of 10000.
The Chapel Hill association is
the statewide, non-profit group
payment plan for hospital bills
operated jointly by the North
Carolina Medical Society and the
North Carolina Hospital Associa-
ton. It is one of SIS such associa-
tons now operating in the United
States which are recognized by
the American Hospital Associa-
ton.
The membership of the Asso-
citation represents a true cross
section of the entire population
of the State, ranging all the way
from Governor Clyde R. Hoey
and the members of his family to
thousands of citizens in humble
circumstances, many of whom
could i'll afford to pay the ex-
pense of an unexpected hospital
bill except through some such
prepayment method. Among the
total are $3.50 negroes.
During the three years of its
operations the Association has
it's members for a total saving to
paid the hospital bills of 9,425 of
those members of $394,759.O0.
These hospital bills were paid in
131 affiliated hospitals within the
state of North Carolina and in
approximately SO out of state
hospitals scattered over the
United States.
Diseases of tonsils and ade-
noids required more hospitaliza-
ton than any other one ailment,
according to Mr.. Grisette's re-
port, 13.49 per cent having been
hospitalized for this purpose. Fol-
lowing in close order were ap-
pendicitis, 1888 per cent; disease
of female genital organs, 8.29 per
cent; and maternity cases, 7.09
per cent. AS might be expected,
women members required about
double the amount of hospitali-
cation required of men.

HIGHWAY DEATH TOLL
SHOWS GAIN IN APRIL

RALEIGH, May 23.-Fatalities
on North Carolina highways
climbed to 80 last month and
sent the toll this year to 257.
The figures compared with SO
persons killed during April, 1888,
and 248 killed during the first
four months of last year.
Ronald Hocutt, director of the
highway safety division, attrib-
uted the greater number of
deaths to increased motor vehi-
Gle registrations and to the fact
that three and four persons
were killed in several of the acct
dents last month.

radiation from the skin, 30 per cent
by convection and the rest by evapo-
ration from the lungs and skin.
Balance Astonishing
The astonishing thing is the bal
ance maintained by these two sets
Of factors. The food is burned and
cell energy is maintained just
enough to balance the loss from skin
and lungs. Many factors enter into
this. When you go out on a cold
day, you can see that your hands
and face get pale. This change oc-
ours in, the skin all over the body,
which means that the blood is kept
away from the surface to cut down
radiation. Later, when you have
walked or run around to get
warmer, the blood vessels of the
surface skin dilate so as to dissipate
the extra heat.
Again on cold day your hairs
rise-you have goose pimples. This
is not so important to you because

but in the lower animals it creates
shell of warmth around the Skin
held in by the fluffy fur.
Temperature is such fundamen-
tai bodily function that an upset of
the body almost invariably mani
tests itself in a disturbance of tenn
perature-in short, by fever. Fever
used to be considered an unfavor-
able sign and something to be COM
bated, to be reduced. Modern prac-
tice tends to look on fever as a de-
fensive process. In general in an
infection, if fever occurs it is a sign
that the outcome will be good, that
the body is fighting the infection.
We know that germs do not thrive
well at higher temperatures and
that the anti-bodies of immunity are
better formed in the body at those
higher levels.

WE TAKE for granted many of
the most Important functions OF the
body. They are SO much apart OF
US that we do not notice them. We
may worry about our digestion or
our circulation, but such thing as
our temperature is a matter Of
course. 800
And yet, it is a very wonderful
thing that our bodies are main
tanned all the time, without the vari-
alton Of more than fraction of a
degree, at exactly the same tenn
perature level-winter and summer
whether the external temperature
is 20 below zero or 10 in the shade.
It takes a very delicate balance of
factors to keep it there.
tits as If we had a thermostat in
side, except that the regulation Of
body temperature is done far more
efficiently and is controlled by a far
more delicate mechanism than any
made by human hands. There is no
waste and mo- variation in the Their
mostatic control of the body. -
Chemical Factors
The factors which keep the bal
ance are the chemical ones which
cause heat production and the phys
zeal ones which cause heat loss.
Heat production is entirely due
to the amount of combustion going
on in the cells Of the body. It is, of
course, the burning Of food, mostly
in the muscles, which causes it. In
creased muscular activity promptly
raises the body temperature from
two to four degrees, but this rise is
soon checked by the factors Of heat
loss. The thyroid gland, throughits
secretion, exercises a general con-
troll over heat production. 81

like so many centuries. But at last
the clock on my bed table chimed
twelve and I removed my shoes and
crept to the window. The silence
of the house and of the night sent
the cold chills racing up and down
my spine. There was no moon in
the sky and, so far as could see,
no lights reflected from the win
dows of the Manor. Every one in
the house was sleeping.
