State Farm Bank, F.S.B., Bloomington, IL 1303025 07/13 ELLEN CHURCH Ellen Church was a trained pilot, and in 1930 she applied for a job as a pilot. She was turned down, but when they found out she was also a nurse, she was hired to serve as a stewardess because it was thought that having a nurse aboard would reassure passengers. At first, all stewardesses were nurses. Ellen’s career as a stewardess was cut short when she was injured in a car accident after just 18 months. She was a nurse for the rest of her life.

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Bad Breath May Not be Bad at All --DEAR DR. ROACH: Could the cause of chronic bad breath be due to having a tortuous esophagus? I’ve always had a horrible taste in my mouth 10 to 20 minutes after eating -- sometimes worse than others, depending on what I’ve eaten. I was diagnosed with GERD 10 years ago. I tried eliminating certain foods, had my tonsils removed in my late 20s and have brought it up with doctors a few times, to no avail.

I have regular cleanings every three months with a dental hygienist, and I floss regularly, gargle and brush my teeth two or three times a day. I do not enjoy going to social events or participating in group activities. I am too embarrassed to discuss this with anyone, including my gastroenterologist, who discovered this type of esophagus during my endoscopy. A TV doctor said there are millions of people out there who can’t find a cure for their bad breath. Please help me! -- S.H. ANSWER: There are indeed millions of people with bad breath, and many of them are unaware of it. On the other hand, millions of people who think they have bad breath do not, when examined objectively by professionals. This is largely because it is very difficult to judge what our own breath smells like. This is common enough that it has a name: halitophobia.

Approximately 80 percent to 90 percent of bad breath comes from the oral cavity; the nasal passages, tonsils and sinuses are the causes in nearly all the others. Bad breath almost never arises from the esophagus or stomach, so I don’t think your tortuous (a term meaning that the esophagus is twisted somewhat and doesn’t go straight down) esophagus is the cause.

A bad taste in your mouth certainly can come from having GERD. Many people think that the bad taste means their breath smells bad when, in fact, it doesn’t. I think you need to have an evaluation by an expert.

Some ENT doctors have particular expertise in this area.

The booklet on heartburn explains GERD and acid reflux. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 501W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 76-year-old woman who enjoys a 6-ounce glass of ruby-red grapefruit juice every morning before my breakfast of cereal, half a banana and coffee. My husband has been trying to convince me that I should stop having my morning juice, as it is a real “sugar bomb.” Is he correct in his thinking? -P.W. ANSWER: A 6-ounce glass of grapefruit juice is a perfectly reasonable serving size. Six ounces would contain about 16 grams of sugar. That’s less than half of what’s in a can of soda, and although it’s a good chunk of your daily sugar intake, if that’s where you want to have it, that’s fine. Your husband should lighten up. I see people drinking 64 ounces of juice or soda. THOSE are sugar bombs. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Coffeen Ave.

FYI FLIGHT FACTS • If your flight is delayed, be aware that flight attendants are paid only from the time a plane pushes back from the gate until it opens its doors at the next city. The most stressful part of every work day– the boarding and the deplaning– is not on the clock for most flight attendants. They don’t get paid anything at all if a plane is delayed while the passengers are still in the terminal, and they’re paid a fraction of their regular salary if the loaded plane sits on the tarmac for more than an hour.

Therefore, flight attendants are just as frustrated by delays as you are.

• The reason you have to return your tray table to its upright and locked position is so you won’t impale yourself on it if the plane crashes. The reason you have to return your seat to its upright position is to make evacuation easier in event of a disaster, to minimize whiplash, and to prevent you from slipping under your seat belt in the event of a sudden stop. The reason you have to turn off headphones is so you can hear emergency announcements. The reason you have to raise your window shade is so you’ll have a better feel for which way is up and give you better orientation if there’s an accident, as well as making it easier for rescuers to see inside. The reason you have to stow your carry-on items and put away your computers is to avoid having them act like airborne missiles. Lights are dimmed so you’re not blinded by light while dashing through smoke.

• Because people seated in the exit row might be called upon to the emergency exit, there Natural & Organic Groceries & Supplements open are 3 rules governing who gets 14 to sit there. First, you have to be Sheridan over 15 years old. Second, you Good Health Emporium Leather Outfitters must speak English. Third, you • cannot require a seat belt extension. This is because you have Werco Ave. to be able to see the exit; you have to be able to verbally direct • people to the exit; and you have Firestone to be physically capable of openComplete Auto Care ing the exit.

For Advertising Call (307) 655-5095 QUIZ: A DELIVERY COMPANY • Frederick Smith’s grandfather was a steamboat captain. His father built a bus line. Fred was more interested in flying, and he earned money weekends as a charter pilot while he worked his way through Yale in the 1960s.

• He often flew spare parts for computer companies who were unwilling to wait for ground delivery to get critical components to customers.

• He joined the Marine Corps, and while serving in Viet Nam as a ground officer, he accompanied pilots on more than 200 combat missions, all while noticing how efficient the military’s delivery system is.

• After leaving the military, he inherited $4 million from his father. He raised an additional $80 million from investors and decided to go into the business of providing business owners with the fastest delivery service on earth.

• He started by purchasing a controlling interest in an airline maintenance company, then turned to buying used jets. He opened his doors for business in 1973, guaranteeing overnight delivery between any two points in the 11-city network he set up. He carried just seven packages on his first run, and soon closed down in order to reorganize.

• He more than doubled his network to 25 cities and re-launched the business a month later, this time carrying a total of 186 packages.

• The U.S. Post Office sued him to try to maintain their monopoly. He lost $27 million in his first two years and resorted to playing the blackjack tables in Vegas to keep afloat. But by the late 1970s Americans nationwide were relying on his company’s ability to deliver critical goods overnight. Today the company has 645 aircraft and 71,000 trucks carrying upwards of 5.5 million items daily. Name it. (Answer on last page).

Dog Flu Symptoms --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: At my dog’s recent checkup, the veterinarian told me to keep an eye on him as a new strain of flu is going around in my area.

I didn’t even know dogs could get the flu. Can you tell other pet owners what symptoms to look for? -- Carol in Chicago DEAR CAROL: Dogs (and cats) can contract certain strains of the flu virus, and veterinarians even offer flu shots for pets to protect against the most common strains.

In the Chicago area, a new strain of flu virus that affects dogs and cats was recently identified by scientists at Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin. The Chicago Sun Times reported that more than 1,000 dogs have become ill with the flu this spring. Symptoms include a cough, runny nose and fever. The severity of these symptoms can vary, so it’s best to contact the vet even if your dog’s symptoms seem mild.

If your pet is diagnosed with the flu, your vet may recommend that you keep your pet well hydrated, and may or may not prescribe medicine to ease some symptoms. Do not take your pet to a kennel, doggy daycare, dog park or any other place where it may be around other dogs. If its symptoms get worse or it stops eating or drinking, take your dog to the vet immediately.

A vaccine is available for dogs and cats that protects against the most common strains of the flu, and can lessen the effects of other strains. Talk to your vet about getting this shot.

Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc. QUIZ: OPTICS & LENSES • John was 18 in 1848 when he got a job in an optical shop in Switzerland. The following year he moved to Rochester, New York, and opened his own optical shop, manufacturing monocles, spectacles, and field glasses. His friend Henry made a financial investment in the business and they became partners.

• One day John found a discarded piece of Vulcanite rubber. Experimenting, he discovered he could make eyeglass frames from the material. At that time, eyeglasses were made from either gold or horn. When the Civil War started, the price of gold and horn rose, and the demand for John’s Vulcanite glasses skyrocketed.

• In 1860 he invented the first machine to produce glass lenses. As scientific research gained momentum, his machines also produced lenses for microscopes, telescopes, and cameras.

• John’s son William revolutionized the industry by inventing a new process of making lenses by casting them out of molten glass. During the two World Wars, the company was asked to provide troops with gunsights, periscopes, target finders, and searchlight mirrors.

• Because pilots suffered from high-altitude glare, the company produced sunglasses that used a polarized filter to absorb light. They had a large oval frame to shield an aviator’s eyes which needed to repeatedly glance down toward the instrument panel. These glasses became enormously popular and are still sold today. The company also expanded into contact lenses.

• The company is named after the last names of John and his financial backer, Henry. What is the name of the company? Bonus points for naming the sunglasses.

Answer: The company is named Bausch & Lomb; the sunglasses they created for pilots are called Ray-Bans (because they ban rays).

BAUSCH & LOMB • By the time John Bausch died in 1926, his company was making 17,000 products and creating 28% of U.S. eyeglass lenses.

• During the Great Depression, military products represented 70% of total production of the Bausch & Lomb line.

• Just when televisions became popular in the American home and cinemas were beginning to decline, Bausch & Lomb invented the CinemaScope lens. The new lens made the “wide screen” effect possible, enabling cinemas to double screen width. The company was awarded an honorary Oscar for this.

• The company sold 16,000 pairs of Ray-Bans in 1982, but after Tom Cruise wore them in the 1983 film Risky Business, sales jumped to 360,000.

• Bausch & Lomb worked for three years to develop soft contact lenses, which came on the market in 1971.

Previously all contact lenses had been made of glass or acrylic, which were hard and often painful. The new lenses were softer, and were marketed with the brand name “Soflens.” The value of company stock tripled.

• The company’s most advanced contact lens called “PureVision” are so oxygen-permeable that they can remain in the eye up to 30 days without being taken out at night.

• About 25% of their business revolves around the manufacture of lens-care products, including cleaning and disinfectant solutions.

• Globally, Bausch & Lomb is one of the largest producers of contact lenses. The company headquarters is still in Rochester, New York, although there are production plants all over the planet. Today, about 13,000 employees in 36 countries work for the Bausch & Lomb.

CINCO DE MAYO (continued): • Early on the morning of May 5, French General Charles de Lorencez led his attack, supported by heavy artillery, on the Mexican forces.

Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza commanded the counter-attack and after a day-long battle, Mexico emerged the victor, having defeated the French army that was considered the “premier army in the world.” Although vastly outnumbered, the Mexicans suffered less than 100 casualties, while the French had five times that many.

• This was just one battle in the war against French occupation (which did not end for another six years), but the victory at Puebla was a great boost to the morale of the patriotic resistance movement. Napoleon III responded to the defeat by sending 30,000 more troops to Mexico, eventually taking over Mexico City and appointing Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico. His rule lasted but three years until 1867. The U.S. began providing military assistance to Mexico, France withdrew, and Maximilian was eventually executed.

• Today, Cinco de Mayo is just a minor holiday in Mexico, primarily observed only in the state of Puebla. It is much more of a celebration in the United States, where it is seen as an observance of Mexican heritage. The largest festivals in America are held in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.
