by Janet Spencer On December 26, 1854, John Beardsley showed paper samples made from wood pulp to the editor of the Buffalo, NY “Democrat” who wrote an article exclaiming over how wonderful the newfangled paper was. Come along with Tidbits as we look at the history of paper! PAPER BASICS • Paper has been described as “70% wood and 30% chemistry.” Modern paper is made by having a log chipped, digested, refined, washed, screened, pressed, heated, and rolled. • For centuries the most popular writing surface was parchment, made from animal hides. The Egyptians used fibers from papyrus stems that were soaked, pounded, and laid in mats to dry. • In the year 105 A.D., a clerk in China pulverized rags, cooked them, then dipped a screen into the liquid and let the fibers dry. This was the method used to form paper for the next 1,500 years. Previous to this, silk had been used as a writing surface, but because of this new invention, China was able to export more silk, leading to an economic boom. • Rags were the main source of papermaking fiber for centuries. The result was a thick, gray paper that was often streaked with colors from the old clothing that was used to make it.

THE HISTORY OF PAPER (cont’d) • In 1666 in England, cotton and linen were prohibited from being used for burial shrouds in order to make them available for papermaking. Wool was the only fabric that was allowed to be used for a shroud, because you cannot make paper out of wool. In the 1700s there was a shortage of rags to make paper. Nations passed laws forbidding rags to be taken out of the country. Rag smuggling became a lucrative profession. • In 1719 a Frenchman named Reaumur noticed that wasps scraped rotting logs with their legs, chewed the scrapings, and made pulp that was turned into their papery nests. The wasps preferred evergreens, which today provide most of our paper. He presented this to the Royal Academy as evidence that paper could be made from material other than rags. It took years for the knowledge to be put to use. • Paper was first manufactured in the U.S. at the Rittenhouse Mill, Germantown, PA, in 1690. Rittenhouse made paper out of flax linen rags. A large printer in Philadelphia bought the entire supply of Rittenhouse paper. This irked Benjamin Franklin, who had to use imported paper for all of his printing projects. Because of this, Franklin was instrumental in setting up 18 other paper mills in order to break the Rittenhouse paper monopoly. He subsequently became not only America’s first major paper merchant, but also Philadelphia’s largest printer. Franklin once quipped, “Never argue with a man who buys his ink by the gallon.” • In 1800, Matthias Koop wrote and published a book called Historical account of the substances which have been used to describe events, and to convey ideas, from the earliest date, to the invention of paper. It was printed on paper made from straw and glued wood shavings. The book was very sturdy but very costly, and Koop soon went bankrupt. (cont’d)
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D. Coumadin vs. Pradaxa DEAR DR. ROACH: I was put on Coumadin several years ago for atrial fibrillation. It was a perpetual pain in the butt, all those tests and never knowing from day to day how much the blood had been changed from meal to meal. Both extremes were dangerous. I had two friends on Coumadin who were in remote areas when they fell, both hitting their head. Both died from brain hemorrhage before they could be treated at a hospital. My doctor suggested Pradaxa, a more expensive product, but no testing required. From what I read, there is no more danger of internal bleeding from one than from the other, and apparently Coumadin can be reversed medically in an emergency room while Pradaxa cannot (true or false?). It would be helpful for you to explain the chemical/medical differences between the two drugs; how they work and why they work differently; and an opinion as to which is the safer to use, and why. -- C.L. ANSWER: Atrial fibrillation, the chaotic beating of the upper part of the heart, puts people at higher risk for blood clots, and is one of the most common reasons to prescribe warfarin (Coumadin). Warfarin really did start off as rat poison, but, like many drugs, it’s useful as a medicine in small doses even if it is potentially deadly in high doses. It has been in use for 60 years. Unfortunately, it is ineffective if you don’t give enough and can cause serious bleeding if too much is given, as happened to your friends. The INR blood test (international normalized ratio) is used to determine the correct dose, and the usual desired range is 2-3, although people with mechanical heart valves need a slightly higher dose, 2.5-3.5. Blood testing needs to be done at least every few weeks, and much more often when just starting and in people whose levels go up and down. Since warfarin works by blocking vitamin K, people on warfarin need to have a consistent vitamin K intake, which is mostly found in green, leafy vegetables. Vitamin K will reverse the effects of warfarin in half a day or so, but blood products can be used to immediately reverse the effect. Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is a new medication that works by directly blocking thrombin, a key protein in making clots. Dabigatran should not be given to people with poor kidney function or disease of heart valves. There is no way to reverse its effects. Studies comparing warfarin and dabigatran have shown similar rates of effectiveness and a slightly lower risk of brain hemorrhage with dabigatran. Some studies show a slightly higher risk of heart attack in people taking dabigatran. In my opinion, both are reasonable choices. Pradaxa may be more convenient since it doesn’t require testing and appears to be about as effective, and with a lower risk of brain hemorrhage. However, there is no antidote, and it needs to be taken twice daily. READERS: Atrial fibrillation affects some 2 million Americans.

THE HISTORY OF PAPER (cont’d) • In the 1830s and 1840s, two men on two different continents began to experiment with making paper out of pulped wood instead of pulped rags. Charles Fenerty in Canada and Friedrich Keller of Germany individually invented a machine that extracted fibers from wood and made paper from it. This started a new era for paper making. By the end of the 19th century almost all paper in the western world came from wood instead of rags. • Ruled paper was first produced by machine by John Tetlow in England in the 1770s. It was used for music paper and accounting ledgers. Before this, the rules had to be drawn by hand. • During the Civil War, there were 555 paper mills in the U.S., but only 24 were located in the South. Naval blockades caused southern newspaper offices to run out of paper so some editions were printed on wallpaper. • Next came the invention of the first practical fountain pen, the mass-produced pencil, and the steam-driven rotary printing press. With paper now cheap and widely available, books, schoolbooks, and newspapers became available by 1900. Widespread availability of wood-based paper also meant that keeping diaries and writing letters became common. CARDBOARD • The first cardboard was made in 1824. When people started shipping things in cardboard, manufacturers of wooden boxes and barrels pressured railroads and insurance companies to refuse to handle or insure them, due to increased likelihood of damage. It wasn’t until 1914 that a law was passed prohibiting railroads from charging extra for handling goods packaged in cardboard. Today, 99% of all products are packaged in paper at some point, and about 50% of all paper used in the U.S. is used for packaging. PAPER BAGS • In 1872, the first paper bag manufacturing machine was patented by L. C. Crowell. Paper bags had been around a long time, but they were pasted together by hand and had V-shaped bottoms. What made these paper bags so popular was that they would stand alone. When supermarkets became popular in the 1930’s, business boomed. VENTURES IN PUBLISHING • Gutenberg spent 20 years in the 1400’s perfecting the first method of printing using moveable type and a press. He was a skilled metalworker and was familiar with tools. To typeset the Bible required 2,500 individual pieces of type for each page. He used parchment because paper had not yet been invented, and each Gutenberg Bible required the skins of 300 sheep. Ink was made from pine shavings and soot. It took three years to produce the Bibles, which had 1,284 pages each. He printed 200 of them, and 47 still survive. However, Gutenberg went heavily into debt to develop this technique. The same year the Bibles were completed, his financier confiscated all his equipment and used it to make himself rich. Gutenberg died in poverty, yet his name lives on today. WORLD’S FINEST • Cartier on Fifth Avenue in New York at one time offered for sale handmade stationery from Finland with rough edges and a personalized portrait watermark. For only $10,000 you could get 100 sheets (including envelopes.) To write on such paper, one should really have a nice pen, such as the two 18-carat diamond capped pens that sold for just under $23,000. To go along with that, you might be interested in a blue glass paperweight made in Paris around 1850. It sold for $143,000 in 1982.

Dog and Cat Shelter
Pet’s First Visit to the Veterinarian DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m planning to adopt a cat soon. This is my first pet, and I’m looking forward to caring for it. The local shelter gave me a few instructions to follow, pre-adoption, including making an appointment for a veterinary checkup. Is there anything I should know about my cat’s first vet visit? -- Kara L., Buffalo, N.Y. DEAR KARA: Congratulations on deciding to accept a cat into your life! It will be a rewarding experience. I’m also glad that you’re doing your homework ahead of time to give your cat the best start on a new life. Here are a few tips that will help with your first veterinary visit: ¥ Research local clinics ahead of time. Is there one that specializes in cats? ¥ Purchase a cat carrier that best fits your cat (in terms of size, not decor). This will make transporting the cat from the shelter and to and from the vet much easier and safer. ¥ Keep all paperwork from the shelter in a folder and bring it with you. ¥ You should be able to be present during the exam. It’s a great time to ask questions about caring for your cat. Bring a pencil and pad to take notes. ¥ Listen to the vet as he or she gives you information about your cat’s general health. Vets or their assistants often talk to you throughout the process, telling you what they’re checking for and the result. ¥ Follow the vet’s instructions. If a follow-up visit or more tests are needed, make sure you do it. Write down special instructions like how much and what type of food to feed your cat, or instructions on giving medication. And don’t be afraid to ask for clarification if you don’t understand something. Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com.

By Sabrina Napolitano In America, Christmas means Santa Claus, brightly decorated Christmas trees and gingerbread cookies. But other countries celebrate Christmas in their own special way! Take a look at some of the unique Christmas traditions below and share them with your family. It’s a fun way to learn about a new culture, and might even provide some ideas to spice up your own Christmas. The United Kingdom The British celebrate much the way we do in America, but with an added twist. During Christmas dinner, they’ll tear apart Christmas “crackers” -- cardboard tubes wrapped in decorative paper made to resemble a large sweet. Inside is a paper hat, small toy and a riddle or trivia. The paper hats are normally worn at Christmas dinner, which usually consists of roast beef or goose. For dessert, the British will have a nice Christmas pudding, traditionally made with dried fruits held together by egg or suet. Poland Christmas Eve in Poland is very important. As the country is largely Catholic, most Poles will fast during the day and eat a special dinner after the first star is seen in the sky. This meal is traditionally meat-free. Before dinner, the family will break bread together using an Oplatek -- a wafer embossed with religious imagery. The eldest member of the family will break a piece of the wafer first while a prayer is said, passing it around until each member has one. Italy The Italians love to use nativity crib scenes to tell the Christmas story. In fact, it’s not uncommon for nativity crib scenes to be very grandiose, sometimes covered in candles and decorative paper. The largest nativity crib scene is in the Italian city of Naples, with more than 600 objects on it! Typically, Italian families eat a light fish dinner on Christmas Eve before going to Midnight Mass. One of the real treats of an Italian Christmas are the sweets such as struffoli, balls of fried dough drizzled in honey. Australia Down Under, it’s actually summertime during Christmas! Even though it’s hot, that doesn’t stop the Australians from celebrating. Many decorate their houses with Christmas bush, a native tree with white flowers that turn red in the summer. Australians even have their own Christmas carols, such as “Six White Boomers,” which tells the story of Santa using kangaroos to delivery presents in Australia’s summer weather. Ghana Ghana is a coastal country in Africa where Christmas is celebrated starting Dec. 20. During Christmas Eve services, there usually is a lively celebration with drums and dancing. For their Christmas meal, Ghanaians tend to eat okra soup, porridge and a yam paste called “fufu,” which is usually dipped in the soup. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Christmas Around The World (Continued): Argentina It’s also warm in Argentina during Christmas, so the meal on Christmas Eve may be eaten in the garden or even be a barbecue. A popular dessert is pan dulce, literally, “sweet bread.” In addition, there are usually fireworks. Some Argentinians also will light “globos” -- small hot air balloons made of paper with light inside. They release them into the night sky, and globos can be seen floating all over Argentina on Christmas Eve! Philippines If you visit the Philippines during Christmas, you may see “parol,” a bamboo pole with a lighted star on it, usually decorated with colored Japanese paper or cellophane. It’s the most popular Christmas decoration in the Philippines. On Christmas Eve, there is a large midnight feast with family, friends and even neighbors known as Noche Buena. Some of the dishes found laid out on the table might be lechon (roasted pig), bibingka and puto bumbog (steamed rice cakes), as well as white rice. Of all the Asian countries, the Philippines has the largest concentration of Christians and Catholics, so Christmas is widely celebrated. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
