TIDBITS® LOOKS AT SOME
FAMOUS DUOS by Kathy Wolfe
This week, Tidbits investigates several famous pairs, duos whose names are more recognizable with their partner than alone. • William Procter emigrated from England and James Gamble came from Ireland in the early part of the nineteenth century. They both settled in Cincinnati, where Procter established a candle-making business and Gamble became an apprentice to a soap maker. They happened to marry sisters, and their new father-in-law persuaded them to become business partners. The company was launched in 1837, with Procter and Gamble each putting up about $3,600. In 1879, the company introduced Ivory soap. They established research labs to develop innovative new products. In 1890, they were selling 30+ different types of soap. Ivory Flakes for washing clothes and dishes soon followed. Crisco shortening made its debut in 1911, Camay beauty soap in 1926, Tide detergent in 1946, and Downy in 1960. P&G was the first to sell a toothpaste containing fluoride when Crest was introduced in 1955. P&G was also first on the scene with disposable diapers when they unveiled Pampers in 1961. From the humble beginnings of two immigrants, Procter & Gamble recorded sales of over $83 billion in 2014. turn the page for more!

• Most folks have visited a Barnes & Noble bookstore somewhere in North America. Do you know the history of the last remaining national bookstore chain? Gilbert Noble was hired as a clerk at a New York City bookstore called Arthur Hinds & Company in 1886. Eight years later, the 30-year-old Noble was made a partner and the shop became Hinds & Noble, an arrangement that endured 23 years. In 1917, Noble bought out Hinds and took on a new partner, Williams Barnes, and the stores remained family-owned until 1966. The current owners have grown the company into the largest retailer of books in North America, a Fortune 500 company that operates 640 stores. • In May of 1939, DC Comics introduced the superhero known as “The Bat-Man,” created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. Underneath the cape, Batman is known as American billionaire and playboy Bruce Wayne. Wayne had witnessed the murder of his parents as a child and vowed to take revenge on all criminals. Batman has no superpowers, but rather depends on his genius intelligence, physical abilities, and martial arts skills to battle crime. In 1940, DC introduced his sidekick, Robin, the Boy Wonder, a young circus acrobat named Dick Grayson. Grayson’s parents had been murdered by a gangster who sabotaged the trapeze equipment. Grayson begged Batman to bring the murderers to justice, and Bruce Wayne responded by making the boy his legal ward, training him with the skills necessary to fight crime by the Caped Crusader’s side in Gotham City. I went to the DVD rental store and asked if I could have Batman Forever. The guy said, “No, just 24 hours like the others.”

In 1812, Iowa became a part of the Missouri Territory. The U.S. Congress established the Territory of Iowa in 1838 and on December 28, 1846 Iowa was admitted to the Union as the 29th state. The first capital city of Iowa was Iowa City, but it was moved to the permanent capital of Des Moines in 1857.

• The term “Siamese twins” had its origins with two brothers Chang and Eng, born in Siam (now Thailand) in 1811. The brothers were joined at the sternum by a very superficial connection of skin tissue, one that could easily be separated by surgery today. They toured with P.T. Barnum’s traveling circus for several years, after which they purchased a small plantation in North Carolina. Interestingly, these conjoined twins married sisters and shared a large bed built for four in their home. Chang fathered 11 children, and Eng, 10. The number of their descendants is more than 1,500, including Chang’s great-great-granddaughter Caroline Shaw, a 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner and Chang’s great-granddaughter Alex Sink, a former Chief Financial Officer for the state of Florida and former gubernatorial candidate. • P.T. Barnum established his showman career with his first traveling show at age 25. In addition to conjoined twins Chang and Eng, he exhibited General Tom Thumb, a 3.35-fttall gentleman who happened to be a distant relative of Barnum. Barnum taught Thumb, real name Charles Stratton, how to sing, dance, mime, and impersonate famous people. In 1871, he launched the “Greatest Show on Earth,” a traveling circus, animal menagerie, and museum. A competing circus, owned by James Bailey, featured an African elephant. Barnum, after making several attempts to purchase the elephant from his competition and being refused each time, agreed to merge his circus, and in 1881, the Barnum & Bailey Circus was born. The two gentlemen operated their circus together for 10 years until Barnum’s death. Following Bailey’s death in 1906, the circus was purchased by the Ringling Brothers.

• Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn met on a cruise ship where Seigfried performed magic and Roy was a waiter. Shortly after Siegfried sought Roy’s assistance during a show, they began performing as a duo. Roy had been around exotic animals since he was 10 through a family friend, the founder of the Bremen, Germany, zoo. The pair worked together for more than 40 years, totaling 5,750 shows together, primarily at Las Vegas’ Mirage Hotel. In 2003, while working with the show’s trademark white tigers, Roy was bitten on the neck by a 7-year-old male tiger during a show. Siegfried and Roy claim that Roy suffered a stroke during the performance and that the tiger picked him up and moved him to safety. Roy suffered severe blood loss and was partially paralyzed for many months. The Mirage was forced to lay off 267 crew members associated with the show, suffering a loss of $45 million in annual ticket sales. • Nearly everyone has seen a Christmas card with the image of a Currier and Ives winter scene. Nathaniel Currier was 15 years old in 1828 when he became an apprentice in a Boston lithography shop to learn engraving and printing. Seven years later he had his own company at 1 Wall Street in New York City, where he printed and duplicated pictures, music, architectural plans, and a host of other items. He became the first to provide illustrations for a newspaper, which to that point had no pictures to accompany news stories. At age 39, he hired a new bookkeeper, James Ives, who was also a fine artist. They eventually formed a partnership that produced more than 7,500 different images, and over one million prints using hand-colored lithography.

TACOS
In honor of National Taco Day on October 4, Tidbits dishes the facts on one of our favorite foods. • Americans consume about 4.5 billion tacos a year, with a total weight equaling that of two Empire State Buildings! There are an estimated 31,000 Mexican food restaurants in the U.S. • When explorer Hernando Cortez landed in the New World in 1519, he found the Aztecs making flat corn breads. The Aztec word for these little breads was tlaxcalli, but the Spanish gave them the name “tortilla,” (although today we usually refer to the flour version as a tortilla). Some anthropologists claim there is evidence indicating dwellers of the Valley of Mexico ate tacos filled with fish long before the 16th century. Some areas added small live insects, ants, locusts, and snails to their filling. • The first written record in the U.S. of a taco is in a 1905 Los Angeles newspaper. At a time when migrant workers were crossing over from Mexico to work in the mines and on the railroads, a group of women called the Chili Queens ran a street vendor business there. • In 1914, a cookbook called the California Mexican-Spanish Cook Book featured a taco recipe, made by putting “chopped, cooked beef and chili sauce in a tortilla made of meal and flour, folded, edges sealed together with egg; fried in deep fat, chili sauce served over it.” • The 1929 cookbook Ramona’s Spanish-Mexican Cookery contained six taco and tacquito recipes with various ingredients including pork snout, ears, jowls, kidneys, and livers. Also featured were cream cheese tacos, egg tacos, and Mexican tacos. • Hard shells as we know them came along in 1947, because corn tortillas didn’t stay fresh very long. Their recipe was first included in a cookbook in 1949, which described taking a tortilla, frying it, and bending it over to form a U-shape. • Californian Glen Bell started out with a hot dog stand in San Bernadino in 1946 at age 23. In 1952, he opened his first taco stand, called Taco-Tia. He sold Taco-Tia in 1962 and opened a new restaurant in Downy, California, and named it Taco Bell. He sold his first franchise in 1964, and by 1967, there were 100 Taco Bells and 325 by 1970. Glen Bell sold 868 Taco Bell restaurants to the Pepsi company in 1978. Today there are 6,400 restaurants, serving two billion customers a year. • Do you remember the Taco Bell Chihuahua featured in their ads in the late 1997? “Gidget” became popular immediately, and toys were even made in her likeness. When Taco Bell discontinued the ads in 2000, their revenue dropped by 6%. • Taco John's is a Cheyenne, Wyoming-based fastfood restaurant. The chain was founded in 1969 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and now comprises more than 400 restaurants in 25 states. Taco John's began as a small taco stand in Cheyenne, Wyoming, named "Taco House" that opened in 1968. John Turner started the Taco House and sold the franchise rights to James Woodson and Harold W. Holmes, who in 1969 changed the name to Taco John's. Born in 1919 in Chariton, Iowa, Holmes's first job was as an auctioneer. James Woodson, born in 1921 in Cheyenne, was also an entrepreneur. Holmes and Woodson together created Woodson-Holmes Enterprises, which acquired the restaurant franchise rights from Turner. • Tacos in Mexico are considerably different from what North Americans eat.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
Why Hospitals Need Seniors-Only Wards Supposedly we go to the hospital to get better. Too often, however, we come out in much worse condition than when we went in. Kaiser Health News has written a series about the impact of hospitals on seniors, and one of the articles has a frightening headline: “Elderly Hospital Patients Arrive Sick, Often Leave Disabled.” The article describes the chaos of being in the hospital, with noisy wards, interrupted sleep, strange food and germs that make patients sicker than they were. Research shows that in seniors over age 70, one-third will end up disabled even after the original illness or condition is treated. It proposes a plan of focusing on daily living skills, mobility and cognition while the seniors is in the hospital, not letting skills deteriorate. The biggest of those is mobility. Some hospitals around the country are setting up seniors-only wards, called Acute Care for Elders (ACE) wards, with staffers who are experts in taking care of the elderly. Again, mobility is the big thing, and seniors are encouraged to move around and eat in a communal dining area instead of staying in bed 24 hours a day. At this point there are only 200 such wards. Go online to khn.org/topics/aging/ and click through the various articles about seniors and hospitals. If you’re a caregiver for a senior, be sure to read through these as your senior might not come home in the same physical condition after hospitalization, and adjustments will need to be made. Check your local hospitals in advance, should you or a family member ever need to be hospitalized. Is there a seniors wing? Determine, too, if your local hospital has a geriatric emergency room. The care will be targeted toward seniors, which means better patient screening. Publisher note: Please consider that this article was written nationally and does not point to any local problems, but does intend to show that we all need to be a where of our elderly concerns.
