; Beating The Heat
. -In these Hot days, all of us find
, some discomfort from the weather
' but few of us realize the actual pro.
Vcess occuring in the' body, as it
.tries to keep cool. Authorities
iiave established that if the body
temperature ever reaches 106 de
grees Fahrenheit, serious injury is
likely to occur. '
' To prevent this, the body's cool
ing system works three ways.
First, heat is. dissipated by radia-
tion. Second, 'the body loses heat
by convection. Thirdly, evapora-
: tion of sweat provides a loss of
heat. ('" .- j. . j
u Cooling by radiation is simply a.
radiation of heat from the body to
objects around it. If, however, the
o. objects around us are warmer than
we are, we cannot lose any of our
heat to these objects.
" Loss of heat by convection is a
Similar process. We lose heat to
, air which is cooler than the body.
.- . However, if this air is warmer than
the body, it Sf obvious that the
' body cannot lose heat by convection
in the surrounding air. Thus, one
sometimes encounters a situation
where heat cannot be dissipated by
i "-either radiation or convection.
The evapotation in sweat, or per
spiration, . is then' the only meth
od that works,. Physical exercise,
physical exercise must be carried
on. That is, to sponge the body
with coot, water. . The water on
the body is cool and therefore al
lows the body to dissipate some of
its heat into the water. - The wa
ter also joins, in the ; evaporation,
'process,' . v ..
Baby Boom Continues
. . v i . . . -
1 Statistics 'for 1955 show that an
all-time record will be set for birthai
this year. It might 'be interesting
to some people to ' note that the
summer months,' especially Aug
us:, are the months in which the
highest birth' rate-occurs during the
yeav. ,
No " one has explained exactly
why this is, but, year after year,
August makes, an excellent show
ing in births. The rate of births

ed that almost 400,000 babies will
be born this month. .
The booming mrtn rate means a
good outlook or the business fu
ture, since the larger the popula
tion, the larger the potential de-1
ing in mid-July. The general level
of prices received by farmers aver
aged 84 per cent of parity, accord
ing to the Department's computa
tion. Parity is a price figure set by a
Government formula, supposed to
represent a ' fair ' return to the
farmers. - It is interesting to note
Editorial Galley TWO "--
that farm prices were 88 per cent
of parity a year ago.
Thus, farm 'prices have declined
two per cent from 1954 until June
and another two per cent from June
to mid-July. This , indicates that
the decline in farm prices is speed
ing up,-not slowing dowa. " . ,

THB COURAGB OF DANIEL
' (Temperance) ft ;, ' .'
" "'' ' ' ' f-:'"
International Sunday School
. Lessen for August 14, 1955.
Memory Selection: "It is good
neither' to eat flesh, nor to drink
wine, nor anything whereby thy
brother stumbleth, or is. offended,
or is made weak." Romans 14:21.
, Lessen Text: Daniel 5:17-28.
Our lessoafor this- week is based
on one of the dramatic incidents re
lated 'in the first part of the Book
of Daniel. Belshazzar, inexactly
described as the King of Babylon,
was being host at a great banquet
given .for his nobles. Probably
drunk, certainly careless, the King
commanded his servants to bring
the sacred vessels of Jehovah .which
1 ., '-.1. j ' T
nau ueen oruugiii iruiu Jerusalem
to Babylon when the Temple was
sacked and destroyed many years
before. .
, Contemptuously and mockingly,
he served wine to his guests from
these sacred vessels. .Heine, the
German poet, pictures the scene
thus:
"Quickly the king spoke, while his
proud glance burned, , ( ,
Quickly, the servant went and re
turned. He bore on his head the vessels of
gold
Of Jehovah's temple the plunder
bold.
"With daring hand, in his frenzy
grim,
The king seized a beaker and filled
to the brim,
And drained to the dregs the saored
cup,
And. foaming, he cried, as he drank
it up,
"Jehovah, eternal scorn, I own
To Thee, I am monarch of Baby
lon." In the midst of the wild revelry,
however, the king had a strange
vision. A hand appeared and wrote
on the -wall the words translated
into . our language Meme, , Tekel,
Upharsin. Troubled and awed, the
king called for his wise men to in
terpret the magical formula but
this they were unable to do. Then
Daniel was mentioned to the King
and his past performances recount
ed. Thereupon, the king sent for
him, promising him great wealth
and honors if he would interpret
the message.
Before interpreting the meaning
of the mystic .words, Daniel
minded Belshazzar of his previous
interpretation of the dream of Ne
buchadnezzar and .related how,
when that great king had been lift
ed up by his pride and arrogance,
God had deprived him of his rea
son and caused-, him to wander
about the fields like- a wild beast
until finSlly, when his reason re
turned, he realized how foolish lie
had been end that God was indeed
the ruler of the earth.
Belshazzar had not profited by
this experience of his predecessor
but had grown in pride and de
bauchery, until, finally, he had
used the vessels of the Lord's house
in the praise f false gods, which
he worshiped.
Daniel's interpretation is given
. in verses 26-28. Meme is very sim
ilar to the Aramaic word for "num
bered." Tekel suggests in Aramaic
the word "weighed" and Parsin
suggested "divided and Persian.''
Therefore, while Daniel scorned the
king.'s proffered gifts, he inform
ed him that God had numbered his
kingdom, weighed it in the balances
and that it would be divided and
given to the Medea and Persians.
There is some confusion in har
monizing the history as recounted
in Daniel with the other historical
records. For some time, no refer
ence was ever found on any BeN
shazzar in the various inscriptions
unearthed around Babylon. But, in
1854, an Englishman found in the
Cuni-form writings a reference to
such a person, who was described
as the oldest son' of the king, Na-
bonidus, known to be the last mon
arch of the Babylonian empire. '
. Inasmuch as Belshazzar was the
Crown Prince and the commander
of the1 military forces, it is thought
that the title "King" given him In
the Book of Daniel was more or
less a natural error, although if is
possible that, after the army of Na.
bonidus had been defeated by Gy
rus outside the. walls of Babylon,
Belshazzar may have ruled as king
for a short time.
-Another fact should be cleared
up, namely, the reference to Bel
shassar as the son of Nebuchadnez
zar. As a matter of fact, there whs
