Mans Habit Of Chewing Has Origin
In Pre- Historic Times, Relics Show

Barefoot boys and girls all over
the world have happily gnawed on
succulent stalks of sugar cane, a
plant whose origin is lost in time.
The rapid-growing grass probably
was domesticated in the Orient.
Arabs carried it from India to
North Africa and southern Europe
in the Middle Ages. Much earlier,
however, the Greco Roman world
had heard about the 'honey-bear-
ing" reed that Indians took delight
in chewing.
The betel nut ranks as the fore
most natural masticatory. The
Greek historian Herodotus describ-
ed its use centuries before the
Christian era. 1t is estimated that
400,000,000 persons chew betel in
India, Burma, Malaga, Indochina,
southeast China the East Indies,
the. Philippines, and parts of
Oceania.
The nut is actually the seed of
a widely cultivated betel palm ma
tive to Malaga. Devotees cut the
ripe seed in thin slices, smear them
with lime paste, roll the prepara-
ton in betel pepper leaves, and set
to work. Chewers say the quid
leaves a pleasant, aseptic taste in
the mouth.
African natives pause to refresh
with seeds of the tropical cola
trees star-shaped fruit. Cola chew
ing was first reported in the 18th
century. The reddish, aromatic
seeds give a sweet flavor
