by Janet Spencer October is National Toilet Tank Repair Month! Remember that tuning up your toilet can save water. Come along with Tidbits as we appreciate toilets! TWEAKING TOILETS • In 1995, the National Energy Policy Act required that all new toilets must be able to flush using a maximum of 1.6 gallons (6 l) of water. Older models used up to six gallons (22 l) per flush. • Japanese National Railways wanted to save water by cutting down on the amount of water used per flush in the restrooms. But the tiny amount of water used in the flush led users to think the toilets weren’t working properly, and they would flush over and over. Officials subsequently installed an electronic device that broadcast the sound of huge amounts of water flushing so the toilet sounded normal, and the extra flushing ceased. • It’s been estimated that one out of every four toilets leaks. One method of telling if your toilet leaks is to put a drop of food coloring in the tank and see if it shows up in the bowl over the course of about 20 minutes without flushing. If your toilet is leaking, replace the flappers and adjust the fill valves. If the toilet runs long after flushing, adjust the length of the chain attached to the float.

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.

Psoriasis Can Precede Psoriatic Arthritis --DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 77-year-old male. I had to stop playing golf about two years ago due to joint pain. I had psoriasis from age 15 until I was 40. I am retired from the Navy and had to be hospitalized twice during my time in service due to my skin. Why it disappeared at age 40, I don’t know. Is it possible that I could have psoriatic arthritis? One doctor I saw said that I had to have psoriasis in order to get it. I saw that you said that sometimes the arthritis shows up before the skin lesions. Can it show up after you have quit having the lesions? -- Anon. ANSWER: Indeed, psoriatic arthritis can show up years after psoriasis starts and when there are no skin lesions. Often, pits in the nails or other nail changes are seen in those with psoriatic arthritis. However, having psoriasis doesn’t protect you from other types of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Since psoriatic arthritis is so destructive, you should see an expert, perhaps a rheumatologist. The arthritis booklet discusses rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and lupus. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 301W, 628 Virginia Drive Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Do varicose veins in the leg still return blood? Does circulation diminish if they are removed? Should the elderly avoid removal? What if a vena cava filter exists for a one-time DVT 25 years ago? -- S.S. ANSWER: Varicose veins are dilated veins. They are very common, especially as we get older, and they seem to run in families. They often come because of leaky valves inside the veins. A previous blood clot is a risk factor, and a filter may make varicose veins and clots somewhat more likely. They do continue to function, returning blood. They should be treated conservatively, with leg elevation, exercise and compression, such as using pressure stockings. I seldom recommend more-aggressive therapy, but if they are symptomatic (pain, tightness, skin irritation) despite a good trial of conservative treatment, they can be treated with laser or radiofrequency ablation, by injecting medication into or around them, or by vein stripping. A vascular surgeon is the expert on these treatments. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 63-year-old male who had a subarachnoid hemorrhage in 2008. The source of the bleed could not be found, and fortunately I came out of it in good shape, with no adverse effects. My doctor prescribed diclofenac [an NSAID] for joint and muscle pain, and it does help. Do you see a problem with this, considering that it thins the blood? -- T.O.M. ANSWER: Since the aneurism wasn’t repaired, I would not recommend taking the NSAID unless your consulting neurosurgeon has specifically told you that it is safe to do so. I wouldn’t be brave enough to prescribe it without that OK, even though there is some evidence saying it may be safe. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

WORD ORIGINS • The French word ‘toile’ means cloth or net. When the French began covering their dressing tables with cloth, the tablecloth was also called a toile, and the dressing room was called a toilette. When the first flushing potties were invented, they were located in the dressing rooms and became known as toilets. • The Dutch word ‘krappen’ meaning ‘to pluck or cut off’ and the French word ‘crappe’ meaning ‘siftings’ and the Latin word ‘crappa’ meaning ‘chaff’ are all related to the current word ‘crap.’ They all refer to the part that is thrown away after the part that is useful has been gathered. • Thomas Crapper was a plumber in London in the mid-1800s. Contrary to myth, he did not invent the toilet, but he did improve it. He also improved the sewer systems of the city. The toilets he manufactured and installed, as well as the manhole covers he fabricated, were all stamped with his name: Crapper. • The Latin word ‘lavare’ meaning ‘to wash’ is where we get the word ‘lavatory.’ • On board ships, the original toilets were just a simple board with a hole cut out, which were hung over the front part of a ship where the waves would wash everything away. The front of the ship was called ‘the head.’ • In medieval times, chamber pots would be emptied out the window into the street below. The story goes that in France, they would call out, “Gardez l’eau!” meaning, “Watch out for the water!” in order to warn pedestrians before hurling the refuse into the street. In England, this was Anglicized to ‘gardy-loo’ before being 14 shorted to simply ‘loo.’ Sheridan Good Health Emporium • The Middle English word Leather Outfitters ‘poupen’ or ‘popen’ originally • meant ‘fart’ because that’s what a fart sounds like. Eventually it gave us the word ‘poop.’ This is Werco Ave. not to be confused with the Middle French word ‘poupe’ mean• ing the stern of a ship, giving us Firestone Complete ‘poop deck.’ Auto Care

The cheap paper that was used to print one-sen notes (worth 1/100th of a rupiah) was perfect for being used as toilet paper, and was much less expensive than the commercially made tissue paper, since you could get 32,500 pieces for a buck. FACTS & FASCINATION • The combination of Sani-Flush toilet bowl cleaner and Comet cleanser can explode. Comet is sodium hypochlorite and Sani-Flush is sodium bisulfate. Many people assume two cleansers are better than one and use them both at the same time. • 23 people were hired to do nothing but flush toilets at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida before Christmas in 1989 in an effort to keep pipes from freezing. • When Hank Aaron was on the verge of breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record, the Atlanta Journal stationed a reporter outside the men’s room in the stadium so they could get an interview of the tragedy of a man who went to the restroom at the wrong moment. • The U.S. Navy was preparing to hit Makin Island in the Pacific during WWII. First they needed to know how many Japanese men were there. They knew the Japanese army usually had one latrine for every 40 soldiers. So they ordered pilots to make aerial surveys of outhouses in the area. They counted a hundred latrines— so there must be 4,000 soldiers. They were correct to within 40 men. • A guide dog in Kent, England was told by his male master to lead him to the restrooms in the railway station. Unfortunately, the dog was unable to read “men” and “women” on the doors, which resulted in some upset ladies. Why they were upset when the man couldn’t see anything is not known. • When Gordon and Jasmine Geisbrecht decided to open a new restaurant in Winnipeg in 1986, they wanted to make it really different. They decided to make toilets the theme of the restaurant. Called “The Outhouse,” toilet bowls were placed here and there in the decorating scheme, and menus featured a toilet bowl logo. Health inspectors suspended their license when it was found that their restroom facilities were inadequate.

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Mazzotta

QUICK QUIZ: TISSUE • When brothers Irvin and Clarence moved to Philadelphia and started a paper business in the 1870s, they sold butcher paper, paper bags, and stationery from a push-cart. When they moved into a storefront, sales dropped. They needed a product that would be constantly in demand. • Just at that time, indoor plumbing was becoming popular. In private homes, people used catalogs in the bathroom. But hotels and restaurants, after going through the trouble of installing indoor plumbing, couldn’t bring themselves to put catalogs in bathrooms. • So Irvin and Clarence started experimenting with toilet tissue, an idea that had been around a while but had never caught on. First they manufactured stacks of individual sheets, but it was difficult to keep the pile neat. So they tried wrapping it around a cardboard tube. It worked. • They set up a factory, named the business after themselves, and started selling toilet paper directly to merchants since the issue was too delicate to bring up in polite society. • Gradually, they introduced their product to the public through advertisements aimed at snob appeal: “They have a pretty house, Mother, but their bathroom paper hurts.” • In 1907 an uncut roll of defective toilet paper material was delivered to their factory. It was heavy, wrinkled, and unsuitable for toilet paper. It was about to be returned when someone suggested marketing it as disposable ‘paper towels.’ Hotels, restaurants, and railroad stations bought them because they were more sanitary than cloth towels. • Irvin and Clarence’s business became the largest paper goods maker in the world, and was bought out by Kimberly-Clark in 1995. What’s the name of their company? Answer: Scott, as in Scott Tissue and Scott Towels. (continued on last page)

Cat’s Shedding a Hairy Issue --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Chester” has always been a big shedder with his long hair. I’ve pretty much kept up with it by brushing his coat every evening. But lately I’ve noticed a lot more hair deposited on the furniture and carpet, and when I comb him I have to clean out the brush several times. What could be causing this increased shedding? -- Cherie K. in Dubuque, Iowa DEAR CHERIE: To start, make an appointment with Chester’s vet for a complete physical exam. Excess shedding doesn’t always have a concrete explanation, but it can signal a change in his health, especially if it wasn’t a problem before. Excess shedding can have a cause as benign as changes in the season -- shedding in spring and fall, for example. Or it could be triggered by allergies to dust, pollen and molds, which can irritate his skin and make him scratch more. Skin diseases such as ringworm can be another cause -- it’s something the vet will certainly check for, along with flea infestation or other irritants. Excess shedding also can signal much more serious conditions, such as diabetes or hyperthyroidism, something that a vet can diagnose. Ahead of the appointment, watch Chester’s behavior: Is he drinking excessively? Does he seem agitated? Is he eating as much as he used to? Write down anything that seems unusual and shared it with the vet. If Chester has developed a health condition, the vet can prescribe the right medications and advise you on the best diet to feed him. If allergies or some unknown irritant is at work, the exam will rule out other possible causes so you can focus on finding a shedding solution. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com.

THOMAS CRAPPER • Thomas Crapper, born in Yorkshire, England, in 1836, became an apprentice to his brother at the age of 14. His brother was a Master Plumber in London. • By 1861 Thomas had completed his training and set up his own plumbing shop. In that day and age, proper people didn’t speak about bathrooms or the things that happened in bathrooms. So Thomas Crapper caused quite a stir when he advertised his business by displaying, right in his front window and in full view of everyone passing by, the complete collection of bathroom fixtures he offered for sale. According to legend, ladies became faint when viewing the porcelain bowls in his showroom. • In order to overcome the prevailing attitude of prudery, Crapper outfitted his salesmen with tiny dollhouse-sized replicas of the toilets, sinks, and tubs he was selling. The customer was tasked with the chore of imagining how the full size fixtures would look in their house. • This was also a day and age when it was thought that going to the bathroom indoors was unhygienic, a myth Thomas Crapper worked hard to dispel. • His business got quite a boost when Edward Prince of Wales hired Thomas to install 30 bathrooms in his newly purchased estate, Sandringham House. When Edward became king, more plumbing jobs were handed to Thomas Crapper, followed by more work commissioned by King George V. Eventually Crapper installed bathrooms and plumbing fixtures in Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. The public thought that any plumber good enough for royalty was good enough for them, and Crapper’s business boomed. • Along the way, Crapper invented many plumbing improvements and was awarded nine patents. However, the flush toilet had been invented by others long before Thomas Crapper came along. • Crapper’s inventions included a method of fitting underground drain pipes together which helped reduce disease by reducing leakage from sewer pipes. He also invented improvements to the float valve that helps regulate the flushing and refilling action of the toilet tank. • At one point he invented a spring-loaded toilet seat, which would automatically rise up when the seated person stood up. The lifting motion of the toilet seat triggered rods that automatically flushed the toilet. This design suffered from the unfortunate flaw that when the rubber gaskets began to age, they became sticky and would fail to lift until the pressure from springs became too great to resist. At this point the toilet seat would fly upwards, often smacking the unfortunate user on the rear. It became known as “the bottom slapper” and died an ignominious death. • Because Crapper also owned his own foundry, he was able to manufacture his own pipes, fittings, and manhole covers. Today, the Crapper manhole covers in front of Westminster Abbey, which are inscribed: ‘T. Crapper & Co., Sanitary Engineers’ are a favorite stop for tourists who enjoy taking rubbings from them in the same way people take rubbings from tombstones. • When soldiers during World War II saw the word “Crapper” stamped all over toilets throughout Europe, they began calling bathrooms by that name. • Thomas Crapper died in 1910 and the business continued under the care of his nephew and his partner. In 1963 it was acquired by another firm.

SALOME’S STARS --ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Some flashes of Aries ire might erupt as you confront an unusually bewildering situation. But you should be able to keep your temper under control as you work through it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That marriage ‘twixt the arts and practicality that Taureans excel at once again highlights your enjoyment of much of the week. However, you need to watch any sudden urge to splurge. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even with all the plusses apparently outweighing the minuses, you still might want to defer an important decision to make sure you have all the facts you need. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) One or two problems might threaten to derail otherwise smoothly running situations at work or at home. But a few well-placed words should help get things back on track quickly. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas in the spotlight to open your generous Lion’s hearts and share the glory with those who helped you accomplish so much along the way. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to get advice from someone who’s been there and knows these situations better than you do, before investing time or money (or both) in a questionable matter. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful how you handle a workplace matter that seems out of place in the schedule you’ve prepared. Before you act, one way or another, find out who set it up and why. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your entertainment aspect is strong this week. Besides providing a wonderful break from everyday obligations, sharing fun times brings you closer to those you care for. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Having a weekend fun fest? Your friend or relative who’s down in the emotional dumps could perk up if you find a way to include him or her in your plans. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) If you’re in one of those “the Goat knows best” periods, you might want to ease up and try listening to what others have to say. You could learn something. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge is getting closer, and you should be out there now showing facts and figures to potential allies to help persuade them to rally to your support. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting a head start on holiday plans could help free up some time later to spend on other projects. Meanwhile, a colleague has some ideas that you might find worth discussing. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always there for others, and sometimes you need to be reminded that you need to be there for yourself as well. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

QUICK QUIZ: MORE TISSUE • During World War I, cotton was used for surgical dressings and as filters in gas masks. As the war progressed, demand outstripped supply and it became urgent to find a substitute material. • The Kimberly-Clark company, a paper manufacturing firm based in Wisconsin, came up with a substitute called Cellucotton that was made from wood fibers. It made an excellent cotton substitute not only for gas masks but also for bandages. • When the war ended, Kimberly-Clark had huge surpluses of Cellucotton on hand. Searching for a peace-time use for their product, in 1924 they came up with a tissue designed to remove cold cream make-up used by actors. It was a far better alternative than using towels and handkerchiefs to remove makeup.
