Q. b. Towne Of the, Keokuk Indus

The Obtundent: Hot Air., He said
he had been interested in the CONVEX
Isation of the molar and incisor, but he
thought there was a mistake. The
molar never saw the food in these
days, he thought. 1t was a case of
the tongue shooting the food into the
stomach as fast as possible, and said
that the Industrial Association was
considering the development Of a
scheme whereby pneumatic feeding
could be carried out and thus save
still more time at the lunch hour.
Mr.. Towne said he was glad the
dentists were in Keokuk, and glad
that they were having such good
time. He complimented the spirit OF
the bunch, and spoke Of the hospitality
which Keokuk was glad to extend to
such a gathering. The convention
which trys to absorb everything In
liquid refreshments but water Is fast
passing, Mr.. Towne told the dentists,
which he said was hopeful sign.
Keokuk Is noted for her hospitality,
Mr.. Towne said, and he was glad that
the southeastern Iowa dentists had a
chance to taste some of that hos
pitality.
The final address of the evening
was by Dr. F. e. Roach Of Chicago
and as it was an illustrated one, the
party adjourned to the Elks club for
