TIDBITS® REMEMBERS HOUDINI by Janet Spencer We honor the memory of Harry Houdini, who died on October 31, 1926 at the age of 52. He claimed that his abdominal muscles were so strong that he could bear any blow to the stomach without flinching. A college student decided to test this theory out without giving Houdini time to steel his muscles before the blows landed. Houdini may have already been suffering from an inflamed appendix; the unexpected blows might have worsened the condition, leading to his death. Come along with Tidbits as we remember Harry Houdini. HARRY LANDS A CONTRACT • When Houdini first went to London, he had no bookings. He approached a stage manager about getting a job, but the manager was skeptical. Houdini was told, “I’ll hire you— but only if you can get out of handcuffs at Scotland Yard!” Houdini rounded up some reporters, then challenged police at Scotland Yard to cuff him. Wrapping his arms around a pillar, the police superintendent snapped on the cuffs, then turned to leave, saying, “We’ll be back in an hour to release you.” As he headed for the door, Houdini called out, “You better take your cuffs with you!” He had undone the handcuffs in less time than it took the cops to walk across the room. Reporters made sure Houdini got a lot of free publicity out of the escapade, and he ended up with a six month run in London. (Continued on Next Page)

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Do Prednisone Benefits Outweigh Its Risks? --DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 80-year-old woman who always had excellent health until about four years ago, when I was diagnosed as having bronchiectasis. Since then, I have had to use an albuterol solution, plus an Airway Vest, in periodic daily treatments in order to continue breathing. A few weeks ago, my doctor prescribed 10 mg of prednisone daily in addition, and the results have been amazing. Instead of five to six inhaler treatments each 24 hours, I need only two or three, and (the best result) I can sleep through the night! Previously, I woke every three to four hours nightly for a treatment with the inhaler and vest, and I often slept poorly afterward. My prednisone dosage has been reduced to 5 mg daily, and although I know it is a (possibly dangerous) corticosteroid, I dread the prospect of going back to the days of arranging my life around the use of the albuterol inhalers, as well as feeling so much less able to enjoy what life I have left. What would be the result of continuing a minimal dosage of prednisone (5 mg or less per day)? What alternatives do I have? -- C.B. ANSWER: This is a good question, not just for bronchiectasis (a scarring condition of the airways, so they can’t clear mucus properly), but for the many, many diseases treated with prednisone. Long-term use of high-dose prednisone (and similar steroids, such as cortisone and methylprednisolone, or Medrol) can cause diabetes in susceptible individuals, and it raises blood pressure, weakens bones, increases hunger and causes weight gain in most, causes thinning and other skin problems and, in high doses, causes confusion or psychosis. It is indeed a dangerous drug. However, as bad as it is, it sometimes is so effective at improving the disease it’s treating that the benefit is worth the risk of all these side effects. There are some conditions where the prednisone has to be permanent, although we are finding more and more alternatives to reduce or replace the prednisone. The body makes its own steroid, cortisone, at the daily equivalent of roughly 5 mg of prednisone. At that dose or less, the risks of prednisone are much less than at the high dose of 40 mg, 60 mg or greater used for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. If you have to stay on this dose, it sounds like the benefit outweighs the risk. One alternative you haven’t mentioned is steroid inhalers. For asthma and sometimes for bronchiectasis, steroid inhalers, which use far more potent steroids than prednisone, can have as good a benefit. They are poorly absorbed, and as such have little or no systemic side effects, like raising blood sugar and blood pressure. If you are doing well on a 5 mg dose of prednisone, you would likely do well on a steroid inhaler. *** DR. ROACH WRITES: I wrote recently about loss of eyebrow hair. One reader wrote in to tell me that in her case, a magnesium supplement solved her problem entirely. I did find that magnesium deficiency can cause hair loss, so it may be worth a try. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu.

A TRICK UP HIS SLEEVE • Houdini often hid tools needed to escape by swallowing them. He learned this while working for a circus, when an acrobat showed him how to swallow objects, then bring them up again by working the throat muscles. • Another trick of his was to have several men from the audience come up on stage, first to examine him to make sure he had no tools hidden, and second, to examine whatever he was about to be locked up in: a safe or a coffin or a packing crate. He would then solemnly shake hands with all the men before being locked up. But the last man he would shake hands with was a shill who had been planted in the audience. During the handshake, a pick or a key would be passed from hand to hand. • He sometimes hid a slim pick in the thick skin of the sole of his foot. • He once escaped from a large milk can filled with water. The milk can was held together with two real rivets and a long line of fake rivets to make it easier to escape. • Another stage method he used was to make sure his assistants on stage seemed as awkward and clumsy as possible— dropping things, stumbling, and making many minor mistakes. This averted suspicion from them while also managing to misdirect attention. • His wife Bess frequently participated in the show. For mind-reading tricks, Bess and Harry worked out a secret stage code where one could tip off the other using words that stood for numerals: pray = 1; answer = 2; say = 3; now = 4; tell = 5; please = 6; speak = 7; 14 quickly = 8; look = 9 and be quick Sheridan = 10. If Houdini needed to divine Good Health Emporium Leather the number off a dollar bill that Outfitters • Bess was looking at, Bess would merely say, “Tell me, look into your heart. Say, can you answer Werco Ave. me, pray? Quickly, quickly! Now! Speak to us! Speak quickly!” • Houdini the mind reader would Firestone correctly reply: 59321884778.

PUBLICITY MASTER • In Germany, Houdini wanted to stage a stunt by jumping, roped and chained, off a boat into the river. The police refused permission— but he did it anyway. As he pulled himself out of the river and walked up the riverbank, he was arrested. The only thing the cops could charge him with was walking on the grass. The story made the papers all over the country. • In 1899, the head of the Chicago police challenged Houdini to escape from his special handcuffs. Houdini agreed, then struggled for over an hour as the audience jeered. The cuffs had to be cut off— and only after the theater had emptied did the cop admit that he had tampered with the cuffs, dropping in a lead slug so that it would be jammed. When the trick was revealed, the local newspaper ran the story and Houdini raked in free publicity. • Houdini became famous for escaping from straightjackets while hanging upside-down from his feet over public streets. Maximum publicity was ensured because he sought out the newspapers in each town and offered to do the stunt while hanging from their roof. He made the front page in every town he played. • Singer Sarah Bernhardt was honored at a reception. There, she was presented with a bronze bust of herself. However, no one had paid the bill for the bust. When the $350 bill was sent to her, she promptly returned the bust to the maker. Houdini stepped in and paid the bill. Within a few days his gesture had been covered in no less than 3,756 newspapers. A reporter estimated that if Houdini had bought that much newspaper space outright, it would have cost $56,340. • On his first trip to Europe, Houdini hired seven bald men to sit in a row on the pavement next to a popular cafe. At regular intervals, the seven men would simultaneously remove their hats and nod their heads forward. Each man had one letter written on his bald head, and together they spelled “Houdini.” • In 1906 Houdini was locked in the death row cell that once housed Charles Guiteau, who assassinated President Garfield. Not only did he escape from the cell, but he then unlocked all the other prisoners on death row, shuffled them around, and then locked them up again all in the wrong cells. The escapade took him 27 minutes. He then advised the police on how they could make their jail escape-proof. • Often Houdini would escape quickly from his entrapment, then sit quietly out of sight of the audience, calmly playing cards or reading the paper while waiting for the tension to grow: “Is he dead yet?” “He’s never going to get out alive!” Then, when the audience murmurings and the accompanying orchestral music had grown to a fever pitch, he would drench himself in water to make himself look sweaty before stepping triumphantly out in front of the curtain to accept raucous cheers. • Another pile of free publicity resulted when a magician named The Great Cirnoc interrupted one of Houdini’s performances with loud protests that he, the Great Cirnoc, was the true handcuff king. Houdini invited him on stage to prove himself by escaping from some special cuffs. The Great Cirnoc first insisted that Houdini demonstrate that it was possible to do (which he did, in the privacy of his cabinet, using a secret key). The Great Cirnoc then struggled to release himself from the same cuffs but found it impossible to do so. He was hooted off stage and the papers were full of the story the next day. • One of his most popular feats was the Great Disappearing Elephant act. During the war, a lady asked him why he didn’t revive the stunt. He answered that President Hoover had ruled that elephants, as well as other resources, needed to be conserved. “I made two disappear a day, that is twelve a week. Mr. Hoover said that I was exhausting the elephant supply of the world.”

QUIZ: COOKIES • Because October is National Cookie Month, enjoy this quiz about cookies! • In 1930 Ruth Wakefield and her husband bought an inn in Massachusetts which had historically been a place where travelers would stop and pay the toll. Ruth did all the cooking, and one day she decided to make chocolate cookies. She was out of baking chocolate, but Andrew Nestlé (of the Nestlé chocolate family) had recently visited, and had given her a Nestlé’s chocolate candy bar. • She broke it into bits and dropped it into the dough, expecting it to melt in the oven, creating chocolate cookies. It didn’t. The bits of chocolate softened but remained separate. The cookies were very good and the travelers raved about them. She called them Chocolate Crunch Cookies and their popularity led her to publish the recipe in several newspapers. • Suddenly sales of Nestlé’s candy bars took a steep climb, and Andrew Nestlé wanted to know why. He and Ruth struck a deal whereby her recipe would be printed on the back of the candy bar’s wrapper, and the cookies were named after her inn. Ruth also received a lifetime supply of chocolate for her invention. • Chocolate sales increased as the cookies spread nationwide, so Nestlé started manufacturing a scored bar to make it easier to break into bits. Then they started including a special chopper, until finally they introduced a new product in 1939: chocolate chips. • Ruth later sold Nestlé the right to the name of her cookie, and the company began to produce the cookies as well. The cookie is now the most popular kind of cookie worldwide. What was the name of Ruth’s inn, now carried on cookie packages? Answer: Toll House. IT’S A FACT • The second most popular cookie is peanut butter flavored, and oatmeal cookies come in third. (continued on last page)

Hero Dog Exposes Puppy Mills --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This year, the American Humane Association chose Harley, a scrappy, oneeyed Chihuahua, as the 2015 Hero Dog. Its decision calls attention to the stark realities of puppy mills, one of which Harley was rescued from. Harley had significant health issues when he was rescued, and he lost an eye when his cage was powerwashed with him in it. Despite this, he retained a strong spirit and has become a beacon for other puppy mill dogs. The “Harley to the Rescue” campaign inspired by him (http://milldogrescue.org/harley-to-therescue/) has saved close to 600 puppy mill dogs. Can you let people know about the AHA’s Hero Dog, Harley? -- Ginny, via e-mail DEAR GINNY: I sure can! Harley’s story also can be found at the AHA Hero Dog page: http://www. herodogawards.org/hda2015vote-harley. He was chosen from a finalist field of eight exemplary dogs, including service and military dogs, and other rescued pets that have become an inspiration to pet advocates. Unlike responsible breeders, puppy mills have destructive breeding practices, and care can be brutal: for example, they’ll attempt to produce as many litters of popular dog breeds as possible, exhausting and often physically abusing breeding dogs, selling the best and mistreating the rest. Mill dogs often are kept in tiny, dirty cages, with little to no medical care. Puppy mill rescues gain access to and liberate such dogs, try to have the mills shut down, and provide care and rehabilitation for the rescued dogs. They’ll also try to find homes for dogs that are able to be adopted, but sadly, many are unable to live with a family. Hopefully, through legislation and continued vigilance, puppy mills can become a thing of the past. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
ATTAULLAH DURRANI’S RICE • Attaullah Durrani left his native Afghanistan in the 1920s and came to America to study chemistry. He wanted to work in the petroleum industry but couldn’t find any openings. • One night he attended a dinner party and met a man who was in the canning industry. He suggested that Durrani study rice instead. Cooking it was time consuming; what America needed was an easy way to cook rice. Perhaps Durrani could invent a way to put rice in cans. • Durrani was intrigued and moved to the heart of rice country: Arkansas, where the local rice coop gave him a laboratory. Years of experimentation showed that canning rice didn’t work. What did work was pre-cooking it, drying it, and packaging it in a box. It was easy to ship, the shelf life was long, and it would cook within minutes. • In 1941 Durrani went to New York City and dropped in on an executive of General Foods. He whipped out an electric hot plate, a sauce pan, a package of his rice, and a bowl. By the time he finished his speech, the rice was cooked, and the executive was impressed. Durrani received a handsome fee, and General Foods began working with instant rice. • The Army was interested in the product because soldiers needed quick food in the field. The product hit the market in 1949 and is found in most American cupboards today. Appropriately enough, it’s now called Minute Rice. • The only grain that beats rice for world-wide production is corn. However, corn is grown for many uses other than human food, so rice is actually the top crop for feeding humans. • China and India are the world’s top producers of rice. DeDOMENICO’S RICE • In 1890 Charlie DeDomenico left Italy to come to America. He moved to San Francisco, where he started a chain of fresh produce stores. He sent to Italy for his bride, Maria. • Her family, who ran a successful pasta factory, closed their business and followed her to California. In 1912 Maria convinced Charlie to start a pasta factory which her family would run. They set up shop in the Mission District of San Francisco and sold bulk pasta to restaurants and grocery stores. They called it the Golden Grain Pasta Company, and their four sons helped run it. • In the 1950s Charlie’s son Tom and his new bride Lois had dinner with their landlady, who was Armenian and served an Armenian dish that combined rice pilaf with vermicelli. It was very tasty, and Tom and his brother Vince wondered if they could add it as a sideline to the family’s pasta business, so they began experimenting. • They added dehydrated chicken soup to the rice, packaged it individually instead of in bulk, and gave it a catchy new name which incorporated both of the main ingredients. Introduced in 1958, it sold well not only because of its taste, but also due to its easy preparation method, consisting of ‘sauté and simmer.’ • A trip to Italy in 1964 inspired a similar pre-packaged instant Alfredo noodle mix. Quaker Oats bought the company in 1986, but it still celebrates the San Francisco origins of the product. What’s the rice mix called? Rice-a-Roni, combining rice with macaroni. The noodle product is called Pasta-Roni. • The average American eats about 25 lbs (11 kg) of rice per year. Rice has no sodium, no cholesterol, and no gluten. It contains over 15 vitamins and minerals. Although there are over 40,000 strains of rice, only a few varieties are grown commercially.

SALOME’S STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Deciding to work out that pesky problem (even though you might have been bored, bored, bored with it) should be paying off right about now. Expect to hear some very welcome news very soon. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Unexpected news might cause you to rethink a previous conclusion. Don’t be bullheaded and try to bluff it out. Make the needed change, and then take a bow for your objectivity. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Money matters should be considered as you continue to work out your holiday plans. This is a good time to scout out discounts before demand for them outstrips their availability. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A calm period early in the week helps you complete most, if not all, of your unfinished tasks. A new project appears by midweek, and this one could carry some big career potential. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Positive results from recent ventures continue to pump up those self-esteem levels, making you Fabulous Felines feel you can tackle any challenge anyone wants to throw at you. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Family and friends might feel neglected because of your almost total focus on a project. Try to rework your schedule so you can have time for both your loved ones and your work. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Don’t be surprised if you suddenly hear from someone from your past who wants to contact you about the possibility of renewing a long-dormant (if not dead) relationship. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to check over what went right and what went wrong with recent efforts. This can provide valuable lessons for projects that will be coming up soon. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Dealing with people who feel they’re always right about everything might be a problem for some. But the savvy Archer should be able to deflate their oversize egos. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This week favors a balance between the demands of your work and your need for fun timeouts. Taking breaks helps restore and keep your energy levels high. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) There could be an occasional setback in what you’re working on. But look at them as lessons on how to do better as you move along. More supporters turn up to cheer you on. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Although a more positive aspect influences this week’s course, you still need to be sure that those who will work with you have no reason to work against you. Good luck. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in keeping your promises. It’s not always easy to do, but somehow you do it. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

QUIZ: SNACK CAKES • O.D. McKee and his wife Ruth were newly married in the middle of the Great Depression when they lost their life savings in a bank failure. He got a job as a deliveryman for a local bakery in Tennessee, but he really wanted to own his own shop. • When a small failing bakery went up for sale in 1934, they used their car as collateral and bought it, living in the back of the store. Eventually they were able to afford a second shift of employees, and they spent the next several decades building their business. • McKee discovered that baked products which were individually wrapped would keep longer and stay fresher than those that were packaged in bulk in bags or jars, so he adapted candy-wrapping machines to wrap cookies, bars, and cupcakes. • In 1960 they created a new brand for their company, naming it after their four-year-old granddaughter. For the logo they used a picture of the child wearing her favorite outfit, complete with a straw hat with a crease in the brim where she stepped on it. The individually-wrapped cakes were now sold in multi-packs and the company began a period of prodigious growth. • Meanwhile, their little granddaughter grew up to become the company’s director of marketing. The company named after the grandchild now dominates the snack cake market. What was the name of their granddaughter?
