TIDBITS® SAYS…
IT’S A DOG’S LIFE
by Kathy Wolfe This week, in commemoration of National Dog Week, Tidbits is going to the dogs! Let’s look at some unusual breeds and random facts about “man’s best friend.” • We’ve been celebrating National Dog Week since 1928 when Captain Will Judy, a noted dog judge, founded the week of tribute. Judy, a decorated World War I veteran, left behind a law practice to establish his own publishing house in order to publish his war diary, essays, and reference books about his life’s passion, dogs. He authored The Dog Encyclopedia and other works about breeding, training, and show dogs, as well as publishing Dog World magazine. • It’s believed that the oldest domesticated dog breed is the Saluki, which has its origins in ancient Egypt around 330 B.C. They were kept as royal pets and mummified after death and buried alongside Pharaohs. They are still used as hunting dogs by the nobles in the Middle East. • What are folks naming their dogs these days? The most popular names for males dogs are Max, Buddy, and Rocky, while the top choices for female dogs are Bella, Molly, and Lucy. Other favorites are Jake, Charlie, Maggie, and Daisy. turn the page for more!

(continued):
• Ever wonder where the term “man’s best friend” originated? U.S. Senator George Graham Vest was a small-town Missouri lawyer in 1870 when he was hired to represent a farmer suing a man for killing his best hunting dog, Old Drum. Vest offered a heart-warming and poignant closing argument to the jury, one so powerful it brought tears to the eyes of the jurors. In part, Vest declared, “The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful… the one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.” In 1948, the community of Warrenburg, Missouri, had the “Tribute to the American Dog” speech inscribed on a bronze statue of Vest and Old Drum. Historians consider it one of the world’s great speeches. • Since 1905, the American Kennel Club has compiled statistics on what our favorite breeds are. For 30 years, the Boston terrier ranked in either first or second place. When German Shepherd Rin-Tin-Tin gained popularity in silent films, that breed took over the lead as most popular. The original Rin-TinTin was rescued from a World War I battlefield by an American soldier who brought him back to the U.S., where the canine appeared in 27 Hollywood films. • Cocker spaniels became the most popular breed in 1936 and held the honor for the next 16 years, when the Beagle gained the title. In 1960, poodles were the top dog and reigned for a record 22 years. Since 1991, the Labrador Retriever has been in first place, followed by German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. The Lab is highly trainable and is frequently used for search and rescue purposes, as guide dogs for the blind, and on narcotics detection teams.

IT’S A DOG’S LIFE (continued):
• Although the collie has never made it to the Number One spot in popularity, its status took a huge leap during the 1940s after the release of the hit film Lassie Come Home, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Roddy McDowall. It maintained the rank of third for several years, aided by the long-running Lassie television series. The collie now places 35th. Likewise, the 1962 movie Big Red about an Irish setter vaulted that breed into 3rd place for a time, but it now ranks #72. • For city folks and apartment dwellers, small dogs are the most popular, with the Yorkshire terrier leading the pack, followed by the poodle, dachshund, and Shih Tzu. The Shih Tzu originated in China, and was once the prized pet of that country’s royalty during the Ming Dynasty. It weighs between 11 and 16 lbs. and stands about 10.5 inches tall. • It’s no surprise that the Chihuahua is the smallest breed. This breed’s owners can expect their dog to weigh under 6 pounds and measure between 6 and 9 inches tall and live between 10 and 18 years. The record holder of the title of world’s smallest dog is Milly, a Chihuahua living in Puerto Rico. She stands just 3.8 inches tall and weighs about a pound. Milly’s birth weight was less than an ounce and she fit nicely in a teaspoon. • Close behind the Chihuahua in size is the Affenpinscher, a German breed belonging to the Pinscher-Schnauzer family, dating back to the 17th century. Its unusual name is the result of its odd monkey-like facial expression. In the German language, Affen means “monkey,” and the breed has earned the nickname “monkey dog.” It weighs between 7 and 9 lbs. and stands less than a foot tall.

IT’S A DOG’S LIFE (continued):
• Although the largest dog breed, the Great Dane, usually average about 160 lbs. in weight and 32 inches in height, a Michigan Great Dane named Zeus, history’s tallest dog, measures 44 inches tall and 7’ 4” tall standing on his hind legs. Zeus weighs in at 150 lbs. • If you’re looking for a quiet dog, there are several breeds that will fit the bill. A survey of 218 veterinarians tells us that, although very large in size, both the Newfoundland and the Great Dane don’t bark often. Of course, when they do, their barks are louder and deeper than any other dogs. Both of these breeds are calm and docile. The sleek greyhound is also a quiet dog, but its owner will have the dog’s strong will and defiance to deal with instead. • So which dogs are the smartest? A panel of 122 vets were surveyed and their consensus was that the Golden Retriever is the fifth-smartest, followed by the Australian Shepherd in fourth place, the poodle in third, and the German Shepherd second. The majority ranked the Border Collie as the smartest breed. • About 4.5 million people in the U.S. will be bitten by a dog this year. Nearly 850,000 of those will have to receive medical attention.

Lindale Mall lower level 365-4265 Not valid with any other offer or specials • No purchase necessary • No cash value Cranky Hank’s owner, Keith Hazen, isn’t really cranky at all. In fact, he’s a jovial guy who prides himself on running a family-friendly restaurant. Cranky Hank’s is actually named for Hazen’s dad, a former Marine who liked yelling — and pizza. The restaurant’s slogan, “Stop your Belly Achin’,” is exactly the sort of thing the elder Hazen would say, he says, and the grumpylooking man on Cranky Hank’s signs is a caricature of the real-life Hank, who died in 1992. One restaurant is located in the lower level of Lindale Mall and the other, Cranky Hanks Pizza Express is located in the food court at Lindale. Hazen found the expansion necessary to accommodate the fast hectic lifestyles today. Some just want a slice and gowhile others want to enjoy the whole dining experience. So whether you’re in a hurry or have time to spare- Cranky Hanks and Cranky Hanks Express have you covered. On Friday and Saturday evenings, pizzamakers offer dough-throwing lessons to their younger patrons. There is also family karaoke on Sundays from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The pizza is “Quad Cities style,” meaning it’s the style of pizza you’ll find at Harris Pizza, Frank’s Pizzeria, Sluggers Pizza and other local spots in the Quad Cities area, says Hazen, who grew up in East Moline. It’s a little sweeter crust, a little spicier sauce and it’s also cut in strips, not wedges. The dough and sauce are both made in-house. They also shred their own cheese and make their own sausage.

FAMOUS PHARMACISTS
Since September 25 is World Pharmacists Day, it seems like a good time for Tidbits to investigate some of history’s famous pharmacists and their contributions. • A young German pharmacist named Friedrich Serturner was the first to separate morphine from opium, a highly addictive medical and recreational narcotic and the main ingredient in laudanum. Serturner discovered morphine’s ability to relieve severe pain, and it was also initially used as a substitute for alcohol and opium dependency. Doctors then discovered that morphine’s continued use was even more addictive than the substances it was replacing. • Following a vacation at his country summer home, Scottish biologist and pharmacist Alexander Fleming returned to his lab to find that a fungus had developed in a stack of Petri dishes that had contained a staphylococcus culture. The bacteria had died all around the area containing the mold, prompting him to perform experiments over the next 20 years showing that the mold prevented growth of staphylococci, even when diluted 800 times. Fleming named his “mold juice” penicillin, and it was produced as an antibiotic that could cure numerous serious infectious diseases. For his work in the field of medicine, Fleming was awarded the 1945 Nobel Prize. • Hubert Humphrey, U.S. Vice President from 1965 to 1968 under President Lyndon B. Johnson, got his start as a pharmacist in his dad’s South Dakota pharmacy. He went on to serve as the mayor of Minneapolis and a U.S. Senator before being chosen as LBJ’s running mate. Humphrey ran for President in 1968, but was unsuccessful in his attempt to defeat Richard Nixon. • Not all of the innovations of pharmacists were medical. In 1885, a young Waco, Texas pharmacist, Charles Alderton, was working at Morrison’s Old Corner Drug Store when he invented a recipe for a soft drink he called the Waco. The drug store owner renamed the drink after a friend of his, Dr. Charles Pepper. After years of staying local, the beverage was introduced to the public at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, where 20 million people sampled it. The Dr Pepper Company is America’s oldest major manufacturer of soft drink concentrates. • After being severely injured in the Civil War, Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton became addicted to morphine to ease his pain. Wanting to find a cure for his addiction, in 1866, he began experimenting with opium-free painkillers and came up with Pemberton’s French Wine Coca, proclaiming his popular invention a “nerve tonic” and “headache remedy.” When Atlanta enacted temperance laws, he was compelled to find an alcohol-free formula, with sugar replacing wine as the sweetener. His tonic became a refreshing soda fountain drink instead, known as Coca-Cola. Unfortunately, when Pemberton passed away at age 57, he was still addicted to morphine. • Pepsi-Cola also came from the efforts of a pharmacist, Caleb Bradham. In 1893, this New Bern, North Carolina pharmacist combined cola nut extract, vanilla, and “rare oils,” and called it Brad’s Drink. He invented it in an effort to help patrons improve their health, believing that his concoction aided digestion. Because the pepsin enzyme does in fact aid digestion, in 1898, Bradham renamed his beverage Pepsi-Cola, even though he didn’t add pepsin as an ingredient. • Other favorite fountain drinks were brought to us by pharmacist Charles Hires, developer of Hires root beer, and James Vernor, who concocted ginger ale.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE PREPARING FOR BATTLE The war is on. It is a battle for the minds, hearts, and hands of people - between the forces of good and evil, between God and Satan. The male species of the Alaskan Bull Moose battle for dominance during the fall breeding season, literally going head-to-head with antlers crunching together as they collide. Often the antlers, their only weapon, are broken. The heftiest moose, with the largest and strongest antlers, triumphs. Therefore, the battle fought in the fall is really won during the summer, when the moose eat continually. The one that consumes the best diet for growing antlers and gaining weight will be the heavyweight in the fight. Those that eat inadequately have weaker antlers and less bulk. Spiritual battles await as Satan roams and seeks to destroy. Will we be victorious, or will we fall? So much depends on what we do now. The bull-moose principle: Enduring faith, strength, and wisdom for trials are best developed before they’re needed. We don’t fight for the victory; we fight from the victory that Jesus gave us. The next few weeks I will be covering the spiritual armor that is necessary to walk in victory.

A Computer Tablet Made for Seniors
If you’re still wary of using computer technology because of the complications, or if you use the computer at the library because the cost keeps you from having your own, AARP has good news for you -- the RealPad tablet, specifically designed for seniors. Here are a few things that make the RealPad good for hesitant seniors: There’s an intuitive interface to help you send email and photos, browse the Internet and even have video chats. It comes already loaded with apps (applications, or programs) and tutorial videos on how to use the touch screen, browse the Internet and set up a video call or email. The RealQuick Fix feature has one button that helps you view the status of your tablet and identify what might be wrong (for example, if your WiFi goes out) and fix it with one click. Customer service is 24/7 -- and free. Call the toll-free number, and you’ll get help with any questions. The price is $189, and it includes a year membership in AARP (or a year extension on a current membership), plus a one-year limited warranty on the tablet. Here are some of the things that stand out on the list of specifications: ● powered by an Intel Atom processor, which means it’s fast. ● a 7.85-inch touch screen ● WiFi (You’ll need WiFi in your home, or use a free one in stores, libraries and many other places.) ● front- and rear-facing cameras (front for your video chats and rear for your own photos) ● 16 gigabytes of storage ● built-in speakers RealPad was available to pre-order early in September, and it will be in Walmart stores in mid-October. To see the RealPad, go online to www. aarprealpad.org. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.
