Ever wonder why some cereal containers were missing the toy? It could be that dear old dad still has the kid in TIDBITS® EATS him.

by Janet Spencer There was a drought in Rome in 496 B.C. The priests thought if they started worshiping the Greek goddess Demeter, she might help. They changed her name to Ceres from the Latin ‘crescere’ meaning ‘to grow’ which is also the root of ‘create’ and ‘increase.’ She became the protector of crops, and the caretakers of her temple became the grain dealers. A new Latin word was coined meaning ‘of Ceres’-- cerealis, which became the word cereal. Come along with Tidbits as we eat cereal! • Over 70 percent of the world’s croplands are planted in cereal grains. Those grains provide 53 percent of humanity’s caloric intake. Wheat occupies 22 percent of crop lands worldwide, and provides 20 percent of calories consumed in the world. • It’s been estimated that more than 60% of the population of the world relies on a total of four crops, three of which are grains. Those four crops are rice, corn, soy, and wheat. • Oatmeal is richer in proteins than whole wheat. Samuel Johnson remarked in the dictionary he wrote that oats are “a grain which is generally given to horses but in Scotland supports the people.” A Scotsman replied, “That is why in England you have such fine horses and in Scotland we have such fine men.” Cont’d next page!

• John Kellogg ran a health resort in Battle Creek, Michigan in the late 1800s. He advocated a healthy diet, and invented a flaky breakfast cereal made from smashing boiled wheat and corn into thin flat sheets and baking them. He had trouble perfecting the formula until one day when he was called away while the wheat was cooking. When he returned, the wheat was far overcooked, but money was tight and wheat was expensive so he ran the overcooked wheat through the rollers anyway. The thin crispy flake that resulted was the perfect formula. • At first he called this cereal Granula, which he later changed to Granola before finally changing the name to Corn Flakes. The cereal was a novel invention and reputedly very healthy, but it didn’t taste very good. • John Kellogg had a younger brother named Will. Will Kellogg was more interested in making a profit than his brother was. When John left on an extended trip, Will did something that John had forbidden: he added a coating of sugar to the cereal. People liked John’s unsweetened cereal a little, but they loved Will’s sugary cereal. When John returned, he was furious. Will ended up starting his own company, which he called Kellogg’s. Will Kellogg’s cereal eventually put John Kellogg’s cereal out of business. The brothers were rivals until their deaths. • A patient of John Kellogg named Charles W. Post started his own dry cereal company called Post Cereals, selling a rival brand of corn flakes. John Kellogg claimed that Charles Post stole the formula for corn flakes from the safe in his office. • Charles Post came out with a cereal he called Elijah’s Manna. He tried to export it to Britain but they refused to register it, feeling giving such a religious name to a food item was sacrilegious. Post changed the name to Post Toasties. Cont'd next page!

WHOLESALE FIREWORKS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME! Have you made that expensive road trip to an Iowa border to buy fireworks and later discovered you actually purchased plenty of disappointment? Firework vendors near our borders are designed to fleece Iowans with shoddy product and high prices. Now you can order from the comfort of your home and I GUARANTEE SATISFACTION. If you would like a copy of our catalog and the opportunity to view a huge sample container of our products, call the number below. We can meet in Cedar Rapids or set an appointment for me to visit your home. This is 100% legal as an Iowa citizen is allowed to possess any consumer firework however, the samples I carry are not for sale. Fireworks purchased will be shipped from another state and are transported as heavy freight by truck. A local trucking company promises delivery within 48 hours. All of our products are name brand and high quality so performance is easy to view on YouTube. Then Google 'fireworks for sale' to check our prices. Wholesale fireworks usually means full cases but we allow you to select individual items and define wholesale in terms of dollars spent using some minimum amount. We've discussed $200 but it is important to note that larger buyers may qualify for free shipping. We also offer assistance in obtaining your fireworks permit. Once you buy from us, you will never shop anywhere else. I have that much confidence in our products.

• In 1949 Post Cereal introduced a sugary line of cereals such as Sugar Crisps, Krinkles, and Corn-Fetti and the kids went wild. General Mills followed suit with cereals such as Trix, Sugar Frosted Flakes, and Cocoa Puffs. • In 1975, a dentist who was alarmed at the steep increase in the number of cavities he was seeing in children went to the supermarket and bought 78 different kinds of cereal. He took them to his lab and measured their sugar content. Onethird had sugar levels between 10 and 25%. One-third contained between 26% and 50% sugar, and the rest of them had sugar levels even higher than 50%. The highest was Super Orange Crisps which was almost 71% sugar. Not surprisingly, those cereals with the highest sugar content were brands most heavily marketed to children during Saturday morning cartoons. • By 1977 a coalition of 12,000 health professionals asked the Federal Trade Commission to ban the advertising of sugary foods on children’s TV shows. The petition was accompanied by a collection of 200 decayed teeth collected and donated by pediatric dentists. In 1979, the typical American child watched more than 20,000 commercials between the ages of two and 11, and more than half of those commercials were for cereals, candy, snacks, and soft drinks. • As a result, Kellogg’s Sugar Frosted Flakes was re-named Frosted Flakes; Post changed Super Sugar Crisp into Super Golden Crisp; and Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks. Although the names changed, the sugar content did not, and nothing changed about the fact that cereals were pitched to children on weekend daytime TV. The cereal industry uses 816 million pounds of sugar per year. • Grape Nuts is one of the few cereals with no added sugar. It has nothing to do with grapes or nuts, being made out of baked wheat and malted barley. Cont'd next page!

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver * The reasons why aren’t clearly understood, but it seems that people with high blood pressure rarely get cancer.

* Glass-bottom beer tankards were invented during medieval times. Evidently, some taverns were so rough that patrons felt the need to be able to see the other drinkers even when turning the mug bottoms-up. ***Thought for the Day: “I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one heck of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.” -- E.B. White (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• In 1964 both Kellogg’s and Post introduced cereal that had freeze-dried fruit in it. The theory was that the freeze-dried fruit would absorb moisture from the milk and be reconstituted in the bowl. Unfortunately it took so long for the fruit to rehydrate that the cereal was hopelessly soggy by the time the fruit was edible. • After winning the Olympic decathlon in 1976, Bruce Jenner was signed up to sell Wheaties. On the air, Jenner claimed he had eaten Wheaties all his life. The assistant district attorney in San Francisco brought suit against General Mills, claiming consumer fraud. They felt that Jenner hadn’t really eaten Wheaties all his life. Jenner challenged the DA to ask his mother. The suit was dropped. • In ads, the Trix rabbit is always trying to sneak a bowl of Trix cereal, but the kids constantly take it away from him, saying “Trix is for kids!” During the 1976 presidential elections, General Mills worried that this might be teaching kids a bad thing: try as you might, you’ll never reach your goal. So they put it to the vote. By sending in box-top ballots, kids were asked to vote on whether or not the rabbit would get his Trix. 99% voted yes. Amidst great fanfare, the rabbit got to eat a whole bowl on the next commercial. Then, like Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, he held out his empty bowl and asked for more— only to be told he had to wait for the next election. • In 1972, General Mills introduced a new cereal called Franken Berry with pink cereal ‘berries’ in it. Unfortunately the food dye they initially used to turn the cereal pink was not absorbed by the digestive system, so parents were alarmed to find their kids having pink bowel movements, fearing internal bleeding. The formula was quickly changed and a different dye was used. • Cheerios were originally called Cheerioats. The name was changed in 1945.

* On June 16, 1884, the first roller coaster in America opens at Coney Island, New York. The coaster traveled 6 mph and cost a nickel to ride. The name Coney Island is believed to have come from the Dutch Konijn Eilandt, or Rabbit Island. * On June 18, 1923, the first Checker Cab rolls off the line in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 1922, with some 600 Checker Cabs on the streets of New York City alone, owner Morris Markin went looking for a bigger factory and settled on Kalamazoo. * On June 14, 1954, more than 12 million Americans “die” in a mock nuclear attack, as the United States goes through its first nationwide civildefense drill. The event stood as a stark reminder that the world was now living under a nuclear shadow. * On June 13, 1966, the Supreme Court hands down its decision in Miranda v. Arizona, establishing the principle that all criminal suspects must be advised of their rights before interrogation. Ernesto Miranda had been arrested and not told he didn’t have to say anything. * On June 17, 1972, five burglars are arrested in the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. An extensive investigation unveiled a scheme of political sabotage and espionage, which ultimately resulted in the resignation of President Richard Nixon. * On June 15, 1986, stock-car driver Richard Petty makes the 1,000th start of his NASCAR career, at Michigan International Speedway. “The King” would extend his record to 1,184 career starts before his retirement in 1992.

TOOLS 4 LIFE

• When Henry Parsons Crowell bought a small bankrupt oat mill for a few thousand dollars in the mid-1800s, he soon found that he had a major competitor whose name was Ferdinand Schumacher. Schumacher had a near monopoly on oats, having invented a better oat-milling device which allowed him to produce oats faster and cheaper than anyone else. He was ruthless in his business dealings and sent many other oat dealers out of business by undercutting their prices.

BY DR. JIM COYLE

My son just schooled me on some thinking that I totally believe in. He recently got back from a retreat that focused on training young men to build their character rather than their kingdom. The “kingdom” thought is focused on building your life around your career, your properties, and your future investments. It is about setting your future with wise planning and doing everything you can to achieve your goals. This is good advice to maturing into later years. The “character” thought is to establish your identity Eliminate the Easter with who you are rather than what you have or what you have • However, Crowell discovered that Schumacher obtained. I have always defined character and integrity as the sold oats only in 180-pound barrels, which Change we have appliances to: of your head, your heart, and your hands. When what alignment were kept, usually without lids, in the back of I think, feel, and do are all on the same page I am truly moving in stores. Crowell knew he couldn’t out produce and maturing direction. If what I obtain (my kingdom) Come see our overstocka productive of appliances. Schumacher, so he decided to compete with is in conflict with my core being (character) then life becomes a journey at the expense of others. If who I am is in alignment him by adding new features.

his oats free from dirt, disease, animals, and insects. Cooking instructions were printed on the package, as well as recipes. Crowell’s oats became the first food product boasting a four-color printed carton, and it was the first product to offer sample miniatures.

• Crowell’s was also the first business to add another new feature: premiums, in which boxtops could be redeemed for dishes and kitchen items. Soon Crowell’s oat company was a food processing giant, and he eventually bought Schumacher out. By the time Crowell died in 1943, he was one of the wealthiest men in Chicago. • His company, whose name summons images of honesty and integrity, still sells oats in familiar round cartons. What’s the name of Crowell’s company, now one of the largest manufacturers of breakfast foods in the world with headquarters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa? Answer: Quaker Oats. • In 1955, Quaker Oats offered a special prize in every box of Quaker Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereal. The cereal company sponsored a TV show called “Sergeant Preston of the Yukon” and the prize was a deed granting the holder ownership of one square inch of property on the Yukon River, 12 miles north of Dawson. Quaker had actually purchased a 19-acre tract and split it into 21 million subdivisions of an inch each.

• One man collected 10,000 of the deeds which he said entitled him to a 75-foot square plot, although the company pointed out that his one-inch deeds were not adjacent to each other. • The Canadian government eventually reclaimed the land for failure to pay $37 in back taxes. Today the deeds are worth about $40 for their value to collectors. • The promotional stunt was so successful that later Quaker offered one cubic inch of genuine Yukon dirt in each box of cereal.

arceci.org Interesting Fact: 80% of American households have oatmeal in their pantries. VICTORIES FOR VETERANS

• About 95% of oats produced in the world are fed to livestock, with only about 5% of the world crop being consumed by humans.

• January is the top month for oatmeal sales. • For steel-cut oats, the grains are sliced thin by a set of steel blades, while old-fashioned oats are steamed and then rolled to produce a flattened shape. Steel-cut oats take longer to cook and may have a bit more fiber. The more the oats are flattened and steamed, the quicker they cook – and the softer they become. • Studies have shown that eating 3 grams of oat fiber per day (about the amount in a onecup serving) can lower total cholesterol by 8% to 23%.

Home Instead Senior Care Proudly Presents

Senior News Line Let’s Talk About Driving A new scratch on the bumper or avoiding activites that require leaving home are often the first signs that families should talk with their aging parents about driving. Unfortunately, those conversations are not happening enough. A new survey by Home Instead Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care® network, found that 95% of the surveyed seniors have not talked to their loved ones about driving, though nearly 1/3 (31%) said that a recommendation from family or friends that they transition from driving would make them reconsider driving. “As adults, we don’t hesitate to talk to our teenage children about driving, but when we need to address concerns with our own parents, we drop the ball,” said Elin Schold Davis, occupational therapist and project coordinator for the Older Drive Initiative of the American Occupational Therapy Association. “We know that discussing driving with aging loved ones reduces their discomfort around limiting or stopping their driving. Often, families just need to know how to start the dialogue.” For many seniors, the idea of giving up driving sparks feelings of anger, anxiety and loneliness. To help families navigate these sensitive conversation about driving cessation, Home Instead Senior Care network has launched a new public education program: “Let’s Talk About Driving”, available at: LetsTalkAboutDriving.com. The new program offers free resources and tips to help families build a roadmap, together with their senior loved one, for limiting or stopping driving when the time is right. These resources include an interactive Safe Driving Planner to help families assess their senior loved one’s driving habits and provide tools to help older adults drive safely, consider options for driving reduction or cessation, and identify alternative transportation options. “The ability to drive gives seniors the freedom to do what they want, when they want - and we want to respect that independence,” said Karen Huber, franchise owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Cedar Rapids and Vinton, Iowa. “Proactively talking about driving with seniors allows them to take an active role in deciding when and why their driving should be reduced or eliminated, while keeping Cedar Rapids area families safe on the road.” Nearly 90% of aging adults rely on their cars and driving to stay independent, according to the survey. Though many seniors 70 and older are able to drive safely into their later years, it is critical for families to have a plan in place before a medical or cognitive condition makes it no longer safe for thier senior loved one to get behind the wheel.

Friday May 27th, Dennis S. of Marion sent us this comment: I enjoy reading Tidbits each week. However I’m very disappointed and disgusted with the editors of Tidbits and Hawkeye Publishing L.L.C. There was no article or mention of Memorial Day or even a thank you for the sacrifice our Vets made and make every day. Veterans of all wars and conflicts stood up to our enemies to protect and defend the GREATEST country in the world. What would the U.S. be like today if our men and women did not defend this country with such great compassion, dedication, determination, and selflessness? You would see a much different country today if America lost WWI, WWII or any other war. Don’t do what Tidbits did, take a minute and say “Thank you!” to a Vet this Memorial Day! To all the Veterans, a sincere “Thank You” for your service and sacrifice. Now our answer to Dennis S. of Marion, is that we greatly appreciate his reading the Tidbits each week. We do appreciate your taking the time to let us know how you feel about what we do. We’re sorry that you are unhappy with us for not saying thank you to a Vet this Memorial Day. What you might of missed is that on the heading we noted that Monday, May 30th is Memorial Day. Along with that we have two Flags draped behind our logo which we did in Red, White, and Blue in honor of Memorial Day. Below is a list of many dates for this year relating to our military. For May 30th, it is a day to commemorate all who have died in military service. For this Americans should make acknowledgments by displaying flags, honoring graves, visiting memorials and other means to show respect for the fallen. Hawkeye Publishing LLC, publisher of the Tidbits provided free space for the Eastern Iowa Purple Heart monument dedication that was on May 30th in the All Veterans Park in Cedar Rapids. We also honor Veterans many times throughout the year either in print and in parades that we attend. Our Balloon trailer which we use in Parades always mentions Service men and women. We also offer great discounts for service organizations to advertise with us. We often allow free space for information relating to veterans, such as our current ads we have been running for DAV (Disabled American Veterans). So while we did not actually print the words Thank You in our may 24th edition, we did commemorate the fallen veterans. Since our first issue, we have always stood up for our current and past veterans as we would not have the freedoms that we often take for granted such as the freedom of the press. Month of March is the Military Caregiver, which Americans recognize and honor military caregivers’ sacrifices and successes.

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Mazzotta

Can Renter be Forced to Give Up His Pet?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m in a dilemma. I’ve had my dog for about five years. “Shera” stays with me in my apartment, one of six in a triple-decker house, and there have been no problems until now. Now, a new owner has bought the house and told me I cannot have a pet: I must either get rid of Shera or move out. What can I do? -- Desperate in Worcester, Massachusetts DEAR DESPERATE: I feel for you, and I hope I can give you some useful advice in this limited space. My first tip is to act fast, and the sooner the better. I recommend immediately contacting your state’s legal services or aid resource, if there is one, to discuss the problem. You also could find free or lowcost legal advice through the state’s bar association or perhaps at a local university. Your local library can be a great resource, too -- you can get online for free, and the librarians can be very helpful. Renters have fairly extensive rights in most states. A new landlord usually cannot simply walk in and demand you get rid of your pet. The existing lease typically cannot be changed suddenly, either. And even if you don’t have a signed lease (some apartments are still “handshake” agreements) the landlord typically must still give reasonable notice of a change in the terms. You also might try offering your landlord a non-refundable pet deposit. These are sometimes required in rentals that accept pets. There’s much more information out there than I have room to write about here. But basically, you have more rights than you think. Stay calm, but immediately start contacting organizations that can help. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
