TIDBITS® REMEMBERS THE CHICAGO FIRE by Janet Spencer
The Chicago fire began on Sunday, October 8, 1871 at 8:30 p.m., and burned for the next 31 hours.
A DISASTER KINDLES
• It had been a hot, dry summer followed by a hot, dry fall. October 8, 1871 was a hot, dry, windy day in Chicago. Wagon driver Daniel Sullivan went out to visit neighbors Patrick and Catherine O’Leary, but found them already in bed at 8:00p.m. He saw flames coming out of the barn behind their house. • Sullivan ran into the barn to try to save the livestock inside. But three tons of hay delivered that day caught fire. Then the shed next to the barn caught fire. It contained two tons of coal and a huge mound of kindling. The O’Leary’s house began to smolder. • Chicago was a flammable city. City lots were small and buildings were crowded. Barns and sheds, stables, outhouses, and cottages were surrounded by paint factories, lumberyards, distilleries, gasworks, mills, furniture manufacturers, warehouses, and coal distributors. Wooden roads and sidewalks connected everything. On the day the fire started, 55 miles of wooden streets and 600 miles of wooden sidewalks laced the 23,000 acres of the city. (Cont’d)

The need is urgent! As history shows, there is great power in public prayer because of its witness of faith and appeal for repentance. Prayer has healed millions, ended wars, overthrown dictators, stopped the advance of militant Islam into Europe in 1456, 1571, and again in 1683.

THE CHICAGO FIRE (cont’d) • As the O’Leary family began fighting the fire, neighbor William Lee ran to Goll’s Drugstore a few blocks away to pull the neighborhood fire alarm. But Goll said a fire engine had just passed by, so obviously someone else had already pulled some other fire alarm. He refused to give Lee the key to the alarm box. Lee ran back to see if his own property was burning yet. Only when another man ran up to Goll yelling that the fire was spreading fast did Goll consent to pull the fire alarm. • Fires were common in Chicago. The city had recently updated its fire alarm system and it was considered to be one of the most advanced in the nation. Many fire alarm boxes were placed around the city. Each fire station had a lookout who constantly searched the neighborhood for signs of smoke. In the high cupola of the courthouse, another lookout searched the entire horizon of the city for smoke. Whenever a fire was spotted, the location was telegraphed to the fire station nearest the flames. • Mathias Schaffer was on duty at the Courthouse Lookout post that Sunday night. Some visitors pointed out smoke in the distance, but Schaffer thought it was the smoldering remnants of a huge fire that had occurred the previous day. Not until he saw huge flames did he consider that he might be wrong. Schaffer missed the location of the fire and pulled alarm box #342, which sent the fire engines rushing to a position a mile away from the fire. When Schaffer discovered his error, he instructed his assistant to pull the correct alarm box - #319 - but he refused to do so for fear it would confuse the situation. The firemen stationed near the fire saw the flames on the horizon and assumed that since they had not been notified, they were not needed. (continued)

Beyond Microchipping
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m fine with microchipping my pets. I have a 2-year-old collie mix, “Bard,” and a 5-year-old cat, “Millie,” and both are chipped. But I worry that if they get out of the house and get lost, I’ll have to rely on strangers getting them to a veterinarian or shelter to have their chip scanned. I’d like to take finding my pets into my own hands. -- Carl G., Madison, Wisconsin DEAR CARL: With the rise of the smartphone and an increase in small, wearable technology, you can take a more active role in finding your pets. A microchip is an important component because unlike a collar, it won’t fall off, making it the best backup if your pet is lost. However, advanced pet technology is out there, and a huge number of pet owners are taking advantage of it. The Los Angeles Times reported that 43 percent of dog owners now own an electronic tracking device, based on an APPA survey.
Tracking collars like the LinkAPC sync with a smartphone app that reports your dog’s location on demand. It includes a fitness tracker. That collar will run you almost $150, but there are budget trackers like the TrackR Bravo, a small device which costs just under $30 and attaches to your dog’s collar. Pet owner networking apps also are popular, allowing neighbors and friends to connect with each other through their pets. They can serve as places to ask for help in finding a lost pet, essentially sending out an APB to other owners and thereby reaching much farther than just posting “lost pet” fliers around the neighborhood. Adding any of these products or apps can give you greater control over locating your pets should they get out. Send your questions, comments and tips to ask@pawscorner.com.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com THE CHICAGO FIRE (cont’d) • When the first two engines finally arrived on the fire, one - the oldest engine in the fleet was unable to throw water very far and the other could not muster much water pressure. The more powerful engines were either still in their berths or searching for a phantom fire a mile away. A valve gave out, then a hose blew. Many of the firemen were already exhausted from working on the fire that occurred the previous night. One fireman raced to Goll’s Drugstore to send the signal that would call for more engines. But he, in his haste, forgot the signal. He pulled the alarm only once instead of the agreed upon signal of four times. Schaffer and his assistant heard the alarm, but figured it was just another passerby pulling the alarm to signal the same fire that engines had already been sent to. Not until 10:00p.m. did the assistant pull another fire alarm, and once more it was the wrong one. The right one was pulled at 10:30p.m. Meanwhile, the wind was picking up speed. • The steeple of St. Paul’s ignited. That lifted a shower of sparks high into the air, making it easy for the fire to jump the river, carried by winds at 30 mph. Whirlwinds of fire sucked up burning embers and spread them widely. Panic ensued. People loaded their belongings into carts to evacuate. When the wagons got stuck in the traffic jam, they were abandoned. This clogged the traffic flow and filled streets with flammable items. Bridges across the river rapidly became impassable. They caught fire, burned, and fell into the river, preventing people from escaping in boats. A train car full of kerosene exploded. The courthouse burned down and the fire bell crashed to the ground. • At 3:00a.m. Sunday night, the waterworks burned down. Now the city was without water. Without water, the only way to stop the fire was by using explosives. (cont’d)

“THE BLACK WALNUT PEOPLE”
A lucky bidder bought this 19th-century French “nodder” by Jacob Petit for $562. Each head has a long, heavy neck that rests on the shoulders of the figure. It is inserted into the figure’s neck hole and swings back and forth, making the head “nod” when touched.
Before Bobbleheads, There Were ‘Nodders’ Two types of collectors bid for a porcelain figure of a well-dressed French couple that was sold at a Southern auction in 2016. A 14-inch-high Asian sorcerer and his companion wearing brightly decorated clothes were “nodders.” The heads moved and looked as if they were nodding “yes” when the figures were moved. Nodders were first made in China in the late 1600s, often showing a smiling, agreeable Buddha. By Victorian times in England, toys were made with nodding heads, as well as decorative porcelain figures of all kinds that could nod “yes” or “no” or even have hands playing a piano. Because of the nodders’ entertainment as well as decorative value, they were collected in the 1900s. Many new and fake nodders appeared on the market. The second group of bidders probably collected porcelains by Jacob Petit’s company, a French firm that made many decorative porcelains from the early 1800s to 1862. The successful bid for the nodder was $562. *** Q: Two years ago, I bought an American Federal one-drawer stand that was made in
www.black-walnuts.com
about 1815. The description said the drawer has “rare Vaseline glass pulls that appear to be original.” I had no idea what Vaseline glass was, so I looked up the information on the internet. I’m concerned that the glass color is due to radiation emission, and I wonder about its safety. One of the pulls has a crack. Does this increase radiation emission? I have grandchildren who visit frequently and have relegated this piece of furniture to a little-used room. I’m considering selling this stand. A: You can test the knobs on your stand to see if they are Vaseline glass by holding one under a black light. Vaseline glass will glow a neon greenishyellow color because it contains a small amount of uranium dioxide. You don’t have to worry, though, because they are not exposing you or your grandchildren to harmful amounts of radiation. Even though the knobs may contain very small amounts of uranium, it is less than what you get from the atmosphere and things that occur naturally every day. It is safe to use your stand. Radiation won’t leak out of a crack in the glass.
*** Tip: Wear cotton gloves when cleaning any type of metal. Oils in the skin will leave a mark.

For Advertising Call or Text 740-441-7633 THE CHICAGO FIRE (cont’d) • Monday morning, secretaries, businessmen, and shop girls headed into the city, unaware of the problem. There was no radio or telephone in those days. The “fireproof” newspaper building had burned down. Telegram was the only means of communication. • Throughout all of Monday, Monday night, and Tuesday, the fire burned without mercy. Around 11:00a.m. Tuesday, it began to rain. The fire was extinguished. • A swath of the city four miles long and one mile wide was in ruins. 17,500 buildings were burned and 73 miles of streets had been destroyed. • A string of 50 relief trains was already arriving by Tuesday morning. Morgues were set up in burned-out buildings. Demand for carpenters and bricklayers skyrocketed as the city slowly rebuilt itself, and laborers who had previously been out of work now found themselves earning good wages. Just three months later, there were 6,000 shanties, 2,000 wood frame buildings, and 500 brick or stone structures rising from the ashes. Still, 20 years later there were blackened buildings standing in ruins. • Another fire swept through the city in 1874, destroying many of the newly built wooden structures. Only then were fire regulations imposed, requiring the use of brick or stone. • No one ever found out what caused the fire. The O’Learys were asleep when it happened. Still, they were hounded until they left town. Their home was one of the few left standing. • Mrs. O’Leary’s cow did not kick over a lantern, starting the Chicago fire. A newspaper reporter admitted he made up the story to liven up his account. Chicago’s city council officially exonerated the O’Leary family—and the cow—in 1997.

Puzzle Answer on Page 8
Amazing Plants TOMATO • The tomato is a member of the highly poisonous nightshade family, and its leaves contain poisons. Because of this, the tomato was long considered to be a deadly vegetable. • In 1830, Col. Robert Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, declared that he would eat— in public— not just one tomato, but a whole basket of tomatoes. Public reaction was loud. Doctors predicted that he would suffer fevers, appendicitis, and frothing at the mouth. If he did survive, he would certainly get cancer. • On the specified day, over 2,000 spectators showed up to watch Col. Johnson commit certain suicide. As he devoured tomato after tomato, women fainted and the town band played dirges. When the basket was empty, the crowd cheered and the band changed their tune to a victory march. The tide had turned for the tomato, and by 1835 they could be found in most markets. Still, as late as 1860, a popular ladies book warned that tomatoes should be cooked for at least 3 hours before being consumed, to avoid “acid blood.” • As the ripened ovary of a seed plant, the tomato is technically a fruit. However, after the tomato went to court in 1893, it became a vegetable by law: A 10% tariff was levied on vegetables but not on fruits, allowing tomatoes to enter the country duty-free. The customs collector decided tomatoes were vegetables, the importers sued, and the court decided it was indeed a vegetable in spite of botanical evidence to the contrary. • Tomatoes originated in Peru. The name comes from the Aztec “xitomatl,” which means “plump thing with a navel.” • In the produce aisle of the supermarket, only bananas and grapes outsell tomatoes. (continued next page)

• Americans consume 30 pounds (13.6 kg) of tomatoes per person, per year. Over half of that is in the form of processed tomato products such as ketchup and tomato sauce. Salsa recently outpaced ketchup in sales. • The largest worldwide producer of tomatoes is China, followed by USA, Turkey, and India. • California produces 96% of the tomatoes processed in the U.S. • The heaviest tomato on record weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces (3.51 kg) grown by Gordon Graham of Edmond, Oklahoma in 1986. Gordon sliced the tomato to make sandwiches for 21 family members. A single tomato plant was once documented to have produced 16,897 tomatoes. • Tomatoes are a natural source of the antioxidant lycopene, which may help prevent heart disease. More lycopene is absorbed by the body from cooked tomatoes than from fresh tomatoes. A single 1/2 cup serving of canned tomatoes delivers three times the lycopene as is found in one raw tomato. • The highest concentration of vitamin C in tomatoes is in the jelly-like substance around the seeds. • Tomatoes sold in grocery stores are picked when green and ripened artificially by being surrounded with ethylene gas. That’s why they don’t taste as good as home-grown. The longer the fruit is on the vine, the better it tastes. It’s estimated that 94% of people who garden grow some tomatoes. • Superstition held that placing a ripe tomato on the mantel of a new house would bring prosperity. Since ripe tomatoes were hard to find in winter months, it became popular to make pin-cushions in the shape of a tomato and use that instead.

Tidbits® of Gallia, Jackson, Vinton, Meigs & Mason Counties BIGGEST BOTTLE BATTLE • Just south of Collinsville, Illinois on Route 159 you will find the world’s largest catsup bottle constructed out of a water tower. • A canning and packing company started up in Collinsville in 1891. By 1933, the line included beans, sauces, soups, and the popular Brooks Old Original Tangy Catsup. • A water tower at the plant was painted to look like a giant can of Brooks beans. The plant drew so much water from the local supply that residents were left with little water pressure. In 1947, a 100,000-gallon water tower was built next to the Collinsville plant. The 70-foot water tower on 100-ft. legs was completed in 1949. It was shaped like a bottle and painted to look like Brook’s Old Original Tangy Catsup. Someone calculated that it was big enough to hold 1.5 million tomatoes, or enough catsup for about 25 million burgers. • By 1954, the company was filling 350 catsup bottles per minute, taking tomatoes from the field to the bottle in less than three hours. • In 1960, the factory was acquired by Agrilink Foods. Food production was moved to Indiana and the Collinsville plant became a warehouse for Brooks products. • 1970 saw a fresh coat of paint on the old catsup bottle, the last for a long time. But by the 1990s, the Big Bottle was covered with graffiti and falling into disrepair. When Agrilink put the land, warehouse, and water tower up for sale, the future of the catsup bottle was in jeopardy. • Then the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile stopped by on a promotional visit in 1992, a match made in heaven. Prompted by the publicity generated by photos of the Wienermobile parked beneath the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle, the Catsup Bottle Preservation Group (CBPG) swung into action. (cont’d)

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com BOTTLE BATTLE (cont’d) • After Collinsville Mayor Fred Dalton declared the city had no use for the Bottle, petitions were circulated, letters written, fundraisers held, publicity generated. Someone wrote the “Catsup Bottle Song.” • The owners of the Brooks Company offered to help with the cost of restoration, but only if it was re-painted to look like a modern bottle of Brooks catsup. Furor ensued. Brooks threatened to tear the bottle down. The media descended. • David Reid, producer for the TV series “Cheers” supported the preservation effort by placing a bottle of Brooks catsup on the set of the show. • In 1994, a new company bought out the plant. They agreed that the bottle is an integral part of the community and deeded it to the city. • The bottle received Historic Landmark status. In 1995, restoration work began. It was finished by June, and in July the newly restored Catsup Bottle was featured in “Country Extra” magazine, in an article about unusual water towers. (Also shown were the World’s Largest Ear of Corn water tower in Rochester, Minnesota; the World’s Largest Fishing Bobber water tower in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota; and the Hot and Cold water tanks in Pratt, Kansas.) • Recognized the world over as an excellent example of 20th century roadside Americana, the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle regularly garners national attention and attracts visitors and tourists every day. • Said CBPG president Judy DeMoisy, “You know where you are when you see the Catsup Bottle, just like you know where you are when you see the Eiffel Tower.”

By Keith Roach, M. D,
Lupus Is More Than a Single Disease DEAR DR. ROACH: After having a body rash for five months, I finally was diagnosed as having subacute lupus. After searching on the Internet, I got very little understandable information. I am an 83-year-old very healthy woman. -- J.B. ANSWER: Lupus (literally “wolf,” as the classic rash of systemic lupus erythematosis was thought to resemble a wolf bite) is a complicated group of related diseases, including SLE (the “full-blown” syndrome, which can affect many organ systems, although itself highly variable), discoid lupus erythematosis (a skin condition that can exist by itself or as part of SLE) and subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosis, which I think you are referring to. SCLE is a skin condition that starts as small, red, scaly raised bumps, which coalesce or form ring-like patterns on the trunk, shoulders, forearms and neck, but usually not the face. About a third of the time, SCLE is related to a medication. Many medications are associated with development of SCLE, including blood pressure medications, some statins, omeprazole and other anti-ulcer and GERD medications. About half the time, SCLE occurs in combination with systemic lupus. Treatment of SCLE involves careful avoidance of direct sunlight, including the use of sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. Any drug commonly associated with SCLE should be stopped, if possible. Stopping smoking may improve the disease. Low vitamin D level often is associated with SCLE (possibly because people are avoiding sunlight), so supplementation may be necessary. If medications are needed, topical steroids are probably the most effective treatment. Topical calcineurin inhibiters such as tacrolimus (Protopic) are (very) expensive alternatives. So many people ask me to comment on dietary treatment that I will mention that although there is no data to prove it, I have anecdotally found that the “anti-inflammatory diet” of high fruits and vegetables, low saturated fat, low processed and high whole-grain products, and high omega-3 fatty acids such as fatty fish and walnuts, may improve symptoms of lupus, and is a generally healthy diet for most people. I found two especially good websites for more information: www.lupus.org and www.mollysfund.org. READERS: Since lupus affects many organs and joints, the signs and symptoms are equally many, and most who suffer are women. To learn more, order the Arthritis & Lupus booklet by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 301W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: At 53, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and since this runs in my family, I had the cancer removed. For three years now, I have gotten the PSA test done and my numbers have been steady at 0.01. Some friends say I should go for additional radiation treatments, but my doctor says I’m fine. I believe in my doctor, but maybe you can put the argument to rest. -- M.P. ANSWER: Believe in your doctor. A persistently low PSA is very good evidence that the cancer is cured or at least staying quiet. If the PSA starts increasing (which I hope it doesn’t), your doctor will go over your options with you. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

* On Oct. 16, 1773, the first public statement against the British Parliament’s Tea Act, a document known as the “Philadelphia Resolutions,” urges all Americans to oppose the British tax. Two months later, a group of colonists disguised as Mohawks boarded three British tea ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into the harbor. * On Oct. 22, 1797, Andre-Jacques Garnerin makes the first parachute jump from a hydrogen balloon 3,200 feet above Paris. As he had failed to include an air vent at the top of the prototype, Garnerin oscillated wildly in his descent, but he landed shaken but unhurt. * On Oct. 17, 1906, Wilhelm Voigt, a 57-yearold German shoemaker, impersonates an army officer and leads an entire squad of soldiers to help him steal 4,000 marks from the mayor’s office. Voigt humiliated the German army by exploiting their blind obedience to authority. The Kaiser thought the story was funny. * On Oct. 20, 1944, U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur wades ashore onto the Philippine island of Leyte, fulfilling his vow to return to the area he was forced to flee in 1942 under orders from President Franklin Roosevelt. * On Oct. 21, 1959, the Guggenheim Museum, home to one of the world’s top collections of contemporary art, opens in New York City. The bizarrely shaped white concrete building resembled a giant upside-down cupcake. Today, 900,000-plus visitors visit the Guggenheim yearly. * On Oct. 18, 1968, John Lennon and Yoko Ono are arrested for drug possession in London. Days earlier, an announcement that Ono was pregnant created a scandal because both were married to other people. * On Oct. 19, 1985, the first Blockbuster video-rental store opens, in Dallas. The store had 8,000 tapes displayed on shelves and a computerized checkout process. At it’s peak in 2004, Blockbuster had 9,094 stores. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

* Historians say that the Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating dates back to the early European tradition of mumming, when costumed dancers would go door to door to perform choreographed routines, as well as songs and plays, in exchange for treats. * You might be surprised to learn that on a percapita basis, Finland has more heavy-metal bands than any other country on Earth. * If you’re fortunate enough to be planning a trip to Argentina, you’ll almost certainly make a stop in Buenos Aires, the capital. While you’re there, keep an eye out for a mobile work by Raul Lemesoff. The artist, known for his eccentricity, converted a 1979 Ford Falcon into a kind of a tank -- it even has a turret that swivels. Instead of soldiers and armaments, however, this tank carries books on shelves both inside and outside the vehicle. Lemesoff drives his “Weapon of Mass Instruction” through the city streets, delivering free books to all comers. His only requirement? Recipients must promise to read what he gives them. * You’ve certainly heard of “Tarzan of the Apes.” Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 1912 work has been adapted over and over again -- for radio, television, film and more. You probably weren’t aware, though, that the novel was such an instant and ongoing success that Burroughs wrote 24 sequels.

Drink Coffee, Live Longer Once again, new studies have shown that drinking coffee helps us live longer. This time they’ve taken it a step further -- it doesn’t matter how you make it. Neither of the two studies was small. In the first, researchers tracked 210,000 people in 10 European countries for some 16 years. Coffee drinkers had lower risk of liver disease, lower rates of diseases of the circulatory and digestive systems (in men) and lower rates of cancer (in women). That’s quite a list. Those who drank three cups per day had a lower risk than those who didn’t drink coffee at all, and it didn’t matter in which country. One reason they chose Europe was the various methods of coffee preparation across the countries. The bottom line: It’s the coffee, not how it’s made. The second study followed 185,000 people in two U.S. states for six years. The study was designed to compare the result of drinking coffee in whites versus non-whites. In this research, participants across the board who drank 2 to 4 cups per day had an 18 percent lower risk of death. It didn’t matter whether or not the coffee had caffeine. No matter which study you believe, the patterns are the same when it comes to drinking coffee -- it can help extend your life. Why do Europeans get more life-extending benefits than those in the U.S.? My guess: In Europe they take the time to savor the coffee, sitting in outdoor cafes, talking with friends, taking time to relax, and not just using caffeine as a jolt to start the day. A caveat, however: Beware what you put in your coffee. If you add calorie-heavy creamers or flavored additives, you could be adding too much sugar to your diet. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ new authority to get rid of bad employees is getting a test in Memphis. An employee at the Memphis VA Medical Center was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and criminal impersonation of a police office. Specifically, she pulled a revolver on a grandmother and a toddler, waving the gun and saying she was the police. According to the VA, the employee was being processed for removal and has been suspended. What, exactly, does that mean. Taking steps to terminate the employee? Barred from the facility? Told to stay home with pay? Inquiring minds want to know: Will the Merit Systems Protection Board jump in on this one, too? Long ago the VA tried twice to remove an employee because the hospital kept running out of crucial surgical inventory. The Office of the Inspector General got involved and came up with yet one more reason to get rid of the guy: He’d been sending sensitive VA personnel information to his personal email account and his wife. The guy was fired, but after the Board got involved, the VA had to rehire him. It took quite a while, but finally he is gone. This is the same place where a veteran getting care had his vehicle stolen from the parking lot by a VA employee. The veteran had to turn over all his personal belongings when he was admitted ... including his car keys. Within hours, before his wife could retrieve the car, it was gone. Six months later, the veteran saw his car in the parking lot, called police, and they arrested a VA employee when he came out. So now we watch and wait. Will pulling a handgun on a little girl and her grandmother be serious enough to get rid of the employee? Does the Accountability Act truly have enough teeth to get the job done?
