Friends University Male
Quartette

The ladies of the Presbyterian
church have gone to considerable
expense, and great trouble to secure
for the people Of Liberal the male
quartette of Friends University who
will appear at the Presbyterian
church, the evening Of August 8.
The Friends University Male Quar-
tette is entering upon its third sea-
son in concert work, and the high
standard its members have attained
as singers and entertainers is surely
remarkable.
A pleasing feature Of the program
is college scene in costume, where
the audience is treated to some real
Quaker college life. This deals
slightly with the humorous, and
In fact is an evenings entertainment
in itself.

WOODEN TOOTH BRUSHES.

1t is common a idea that negroes are
little affected by dental carries, or decay.
Dr. Charezieux, during his residence in
the Soudan. and particularly at Timbuc-
too, was able to observe several black
races and to contrast them with repre-
sentatiyes of autoehthonic white races.
Touaregs Moors and Arabs. He found
that the immunity of the blacks is not so
great as generally supposed, and he
gives some interesting details of the buc-
cal hygiene of the negroes which explain
why their teeth while not being entirely
free from carries yet preserve wilderness
which, the majority of the white race
may Wen envy.
The brilliant Wilderness of the teeth of
the Soudanese blacks naturally first OF
all attracted DR.. Charezieuxs attention.
On closely examining them. however. he
found that. although the front teeth were
generally sound and free from carries. on
the other hand those at the back of the
mouth were frequently covered with tar
tar and affected by carries In every de-
gree. the neck of the teeth being some
times exposed These LESSONS were OBJ
served not merely in a few isolated cases.
but In very large proportion-about 5000
In endeavoring to determine THE cause
of the integrity or deterioration of the
teeth among the indigenous tribes, DR..
Charezieux investigated both the chem
ical reaction Of the saliva and the n.y.
giene of the mouth.
AS regards the saliva, he found that the
reaction was always acid The real
cause of this constant acidity must be
&. III ,fcIt oil n
blacks have, of continually chewing the
kola nut, which is very rich in fannie
acid.
After having lived some time among the
negroes 1t will have been observed that
both men and women frequently rub their
teeth with piece of soft wood. For this
purpose they take a small tender sprig
of wood, splitting 1t at one end or Simply
chewing it. and then, holding the sprig
by the other end. they rub their teeth
with it, The front teeth being the most
accessible are consequently better and
more frequently rubbed and are almost
always preserved from carries.
whenever the blacks are not smoking
or chewing kola nut they rub their teeth
in this laanner and the habit becomes y
sort of second nature. And the women
of these regions, with the coanettish care
common to women in all ATTITUDES, do not
neglect this dental toilet. but rather the
contrary 1t has the advantage or not IN
ducing the wear imputed to powders ard
excessive use of the brush
In addition to the mechanical care OF
the teeth, DR.. Charezieux attributes an
important role to the nature OF the 1000
and the quality Of the drinking water ~
maintaining the teeth IN good conui'ioi'
