Beware Holiday Foods, Ornaments, Plants

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Please remind your readers of how important it is to keep their pets away from holiday foods. Some foods, like chocolate, can be deadly poisonous to dogs, while rich foods and ingredients like onions or raisins can be dangerous for cats and dogs. -- Jessica in New Jersey DEAR JESSICA: You told them, and thank you! The holiday season, with plenty of parties, family and food, can be hectic for everyone, but it’s important to monitor pets and make sure they’re kept away from potentially harmful items. Many foods, not just chocolate but onions, grapes and raisins, nuts, avocados and other holiday foods can cause house pets great harm. Store them well out of reach, and keep pets out of the kitchen when cooking and away from serving tables. A more extensive list of common foods that can be poisonous to pets is available from the Humane Society of the United States (www.humanesociety.org). Christmas tree ornaments also can potentially be harmful. Cats love knocking down glass ornaments and may accidentally ingest tinsel or other shiny strands. Dogs may gnaw on interesting packages or break into gift boxes of candy or fruit. Even plants need to be kept out of reach: poinsettias, for example, are toxic to cats. To minimize risk, place breakable ornaments higher on the tree and put plants well out of reach. During parties or dinners, place your pets in a separate area of the house with bedding, food and water, and check on them occasionally. (This also is helpful in keeping pets’ stress levels down.) Send your tips, comments and questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

• Candles will burn more evenly if you refrigerate them for a few hours before lighting. • “My great-nephew and his family came to visit, and his toddler son is quite into opening doors. I had babyproofed my home, but I did not think about his being able to turn a doorknob. His very smart mother pulled out a sock and slipped it over the doorknob, then secured it with a wide rubber band. Even I was unable to get a good grip on the doorknob after that!” -- V.R. in North Carolina • Surprise guests? Here’s how to quickly clean your living areas: First, clean the toilet, mirror and vanity in the guest bathroom and leave a fresh towel; grab a laundry basket and remove any clutter from the living room and kitchen; put away or clean dirty dishes and wipe down counters in the kitchen; finally, give carpets a quick vacuum. Then maybe light a great-smelling candle and greet your guests! • “Fireplaces are wonderful for heat and ambience, but the ashes! When cleaning up, I spritz the ashes with a rosemary water solution. This keeps them from dusting up and flying all over, and it smells great. My neighbor puts her damp loose-leaf tea in the fireplace for scent.” -- C.W. in Iowa • “In cold winter months, keep your robe (and slippers or whatever else) under the covers with you when you sleep. Pull it next to or over you a few minutes before you get up. It’ll be toasty and will help make the transition into the cold a little less harsh.” -- Giselle in New York • Empty spice containers can be used to hold different hardware in the shop or in your toolbox.

Bonzo Bank This vintage bank is easy to date. It is a type of tin bank that is no longer popular, and the dog decorating the front was a comic cartoon star from the 1920s to the 1940s. This is the first famous Bonzo. A live dog by that name became famous in the movies years later. Bonzo was first pictured in a British comic strip in 1922, but the bank was made in Germany by Saalheimer & Strauss. The company made toys, especially cars and motorcycles,

until it was bought in 1936. The toys had an oval mark with two overlapping S letters on top of the word Success. There are two similar versions of the bank; a poem explaining how to deposit money is on the front of one type but not on the other. Bertoia Auctions sold this mechanical bank for $1,800. ••• Q: Is an embossed metal Cracker Jack button stud worth anyTo deposit a coin in the Bonthing? It has Sailor zo bank, you had to push his Jack, little dog Bingo tummy. His tongue would come and “Me for Cracker- out of his mouth to deposit the jack” on the front. It’s coin inside. Many similar banks were made picturing other comic about 1-inch high and characters. 3/4-inch wide. A: Frederick Rueckheim began selling popcorn in 1871. He and his brother, Louis, sold a mixture of popcorn, peanuts and molasses at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Louis copyrighted the recipe and the slogan, “The more you eat, the more you want,” in 1896. Coupons for prizes were added to the boxes in 1910. Sales increased dramatically after small prizes for children were included in the boxes beginning in 1912. Frederick’s grandson

was the model for Sailor Jack, which was first used in advertisements in 1916. The first boxes with Sailor Jack were produced in 1918. Cracker Jack prizes are collectible, especially the old metal ones. Prizes were eliminated in 2016 and replaced by a game that can be played by scanning a URL code. A button stud like yours sold recently for $56. Cracker Jack is now part of Frito Lay. ••• CURRENT PRICES Pewter candlesticks, fluted stem with swags, square base with cut corners, touch mark on base, Continental, c. 1800, 89 inches, pair $30.

Rust Prevention By Teresa Erickson

As a vehicle owner, you have probably dealt with rust at some point. No matter how well you take care of your vehicle, rust spots may appear, and the longer you own your vehicle, the more likely you are to encounter it. Fortunately, there are ways to deal with rust and help prevent it. To protect vehicles from rust, manufacturers apply a variety of protective coatings, including lacquers and resistant paints. The thicker the coatings, the better chance the vehicle will not rust. However, common nicks, scratches and dents will penetrate coatings and expose the surface to corrosive elements, like water, dirt and salt. Over time, the surface will develop rust. If left untreated, the rust may 1.

December 8-14, 2021 eat through the surface, leaving unsightly holes. The most common areas where rust occurs include doors, bumpers, chrome-plated trim, hinges and brackets, and any other places prone to nicks, scratches and dents. There are several measures you can take to protect your vehicle. First, cover paint nicks quickly. If you don't have any touchup paint on hand, use some clear nail polish to seal the area. Then get to an auto supply store for some touchup paint. For the exact color of your vehicle, check the identification plate for the paint code number. If you don't know where the identification plate is, consult your owner's manual. Keep in mind that unusual paint colors may have to be ordered. Next, mend any scratches you see. Pick up a scratch repair kit at an auto supply store and follow the instructions. Finally, repair any dents that occur. Unless you're an auto body specialist, you probably won't be able to fix the dents yourself. Ask around and find a service specializing in paintless dent repair. Preventive care is key in deterring rust. Avoid parking your vehicle outside for long periods of time. Elements, like the sun and rain, are hard on a vehicle's surface. Wash and wax your vehicle often. Make sure you use a cleaner and a wax that is appropriate for your vehicle's finish. If you live in an area with harsh winters, consider having your vehicle, especially the undersurface, professionally undercoated. Rust can make any car look old. Fortunately, keeping it at bay isn't difficult. With some maintenance and preventative care, you can keep your car free of rust and looking like new for a long time.

Why Do Older Folks Have Balance Issues? DEAR DR. ROACH: Apparently, it is common for older people to have balance issues. Do these balance problems usually stem more from muscular issues or inner ear issues? — E.M. ANSWER: It is often a combination of issues that lead to balance problems in older adults. Inner ear problems, where the organs of balance are located, are a major cause. However, balance problems are exacerbated by muscle weakness, vision problems, arthritis and medications, to name a few common ones. The body has many safeguards to keep us from falling. If the balance system can’t tell us our exact position in space, our eyes can, and the neurological system uses fine muscle control to keep us upright and safe. We can often do well even with one system not working properly. When multiple systems are affected, falls are more common. Improving balance and reducing fall risk often involves multiple interventions. One is working on balance directly. This can be achieved with home exercises; group exercises, like tai chi and yoga, w h i c h h a v e th e added advantage of increasing muscle control; or with a skilled therapist such as physical or occupational therapy. Making sure vision is as good as possible and staying on top of joint, muscle and neurological conditions will help reduce fall risk. Medications are so often the source of balance and fall problems that many medical practices (including mine) review medications at every visit to look for errors, medicines that have combined toxicities, medicines that are less safe in older adults and any medicines that

might safely be discontinued. ••• DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 89-year-old man who has been taking tamsulosin (Flomax), 0.4 mg, for many years. I take it after supper in the evening. I get up at night three or four times to urinate. Would it be better to take the medication after lunch? I would be happy if I could reduce the number of times I get up to maybe only once or twice. — P.J.S. ANSWER: Tamsulosin is in the class of alpha blockers, and they relax smooth muscle, a special type of muscle found in the prostate and in blood vessels (among other places). Relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate makes the urethra, the tube that carries the urine from the bladder and through the prostate, larger. As a result, men can empty their bladders more easily. However, even though tamsulosin is better at relaxing smooth muscle in the prostate than in blood vessels, some men will get lightheaded upon standing when using it. This occurs especially on the first dose, and over time most men no longer have trouble. It is usually dosed at nighttime so that the lightheadedness on standing is minimized. You can take it at any time of the day (a halfhour after eating is recommended, at the same meal of the day), but I doubt it will work much better. Many experts will use 0.8 mg in men who haven’t had an ideal response and who do not have lightheadedness. I’d ask your doctor whether an increased dose might be

better. Before considering another drug, be sure you avoid too many liquids at night, especially alcohol, and try voiding your bladder twice before bed to make sure it is as empty as possible. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.
