TIDBITS® TUNES UP
TOILETSby Janet Spencer
October is National Toilet Tank Repair Month! Remember that tuning up your toilet can save water. Come along with Tidbits as we appreciate toilets!
TWEAKING TOILETS• In 1995, the National Energy Policy Act required that
all new toilets must be able to flush using a maximum of 1.6 gallons (6 l) of water. Older models used up to six gallons (22 l) per flush.
• Japanese National Railways wanted to save water by cutting down on the amount of water used per flush in the restrooms. But the tiny amount of water used in the flush led users to think the toilets weren’t working properly, and they would flush over and over. Officials subsequently installed an electronic device that broadcast the sound of huge amounts of water flushing so the toilet sounded normal, and the extra flushing ceased.
• It’s been estimated that one out of every four toilets leaks. One method of telling if your toilet leaks is to put a drop of food coloring in the tank and see if it shows up in the bowl over the course of about 20 minutes without flushing. If your toilet is leaking, replace the flappers and adjust the fill valves. If the toilet runs long after flushing, adjust the length of the chain attached to the float.

WORD ORIGINS• The French word ‘toile’ means cloth or net. When
the French began covering their dressing tables with cloth, the tablecloth was also called a toile, and the dressing room was called a toilette. When the first flushing potties were invented, they were located in the dressing rooms and became known as toilets.
• The Dutch word ‘krappen’ meaning ‘to pluck or cut off’ and the French word ‘crappe’ meaning ‘siftings’ and the Latin word ‘crappa’ meaning ‘chaff’ are all related to the current word ‘crap.’ They all refer to the part that is thrown away after the part that is useful has been gathered.
• Thomas Crapper was a plumber in London in the mid-1800s. Contrary to myth, he did not invent
the toilet, but he did improve it. He also improved the sewer systems of the city. The toilets he manufactured and installed, as well as the manhole covers he fabricated, were all stamped with his name: Crapper.
• The Latin word ‘lavare’ meaning ‘to wash’ is where we get the word ‘lavatory.’
• On board ships, the original toilets were just a simple board with a hole cut out, which were hung over the front part of a ship where the waves would wash everything away. The front of the ship was called ‘the head.’
• In medieval times, chamber pots would be emptied out the window into the street below. The story goes that in France, they would call out, “Gardez l’eau!” meaning, “Watch out for the water!” in order to warn pedestrians before hurling the refuse into the street. In England, this was Anglicized to ‘gardy-loo’ before being shorted to simply ‘loo.’
• The Middle English word ‘poupen’ or ‘popen’ originally meant ‘fart’ because that’s what a fart sounds like. Eventually it gave us the word ‘poop.’ This is not to be confused with the Middle French word ‘poupe’ meaning the stern of a ship, giving us ‘poop deck.’
BY THE NUMBERS• Average number of times a typical human uses the
bathroom every day: 7

• It was 20th-century Swiss playwright and nov-elist Max Frisch who de-fined technology as “the knack of so arranging the
world that we need not experience it.”• In the 1830s you could give someone a blizzard.
Back then, of course, the word wasn’t referring to a snowstorm; rather, that phrase meant to give someone a piece of one’s mind.
• Men certainly aren’t lacking in the self-confidence department. A survey found that 76 percent of men be-lieve they are “somewhat” or “very attractive.”
• Thanks to arrangements made by his very powerful family, Theophylactus of Tusculum became Pope Bene-dict IX in 1032, at the age of 20. It seems he wasn’t suited to religious life, and he was accused of “many vile adulteries and murders.” The Catholic Encyclope-dia calls him “a disgrace to the Chair of Peter.” After 12 years he was forced out of Rome, but he returned the following year, 1045, and ousted Pope Sylvester III. Later that same year, a pious priest named John Gratian offered Benedict a large sum of money to vacate the post, which he did, allowing Gratian to become Pope Gregory VI. Unsurprisingly, Benedict soon changed his mind, and with Sylvester III still claiming the papal seat, there were now three popes vying for supremacy. Finally, at the end of 1046, the Council of Sutri declared Benedict and Sylvester deposed, Gregory was encour-aged to resign, and a German bishop was proclaimed Pope Clement II.

• Spring bulbs need a few weeks in the ground to get established before the first of the frosts. If you’re just getting around to planting your spring bulbs, here is a great garden design tip: Use kebab skewers to figure out the bulbs’ placement in the garden.• “Place an ice cube (or ice chips) in carpet divots left behind by furniture legs. This will help the fibers “plump up,” and the spot will disappear!” -- A.I in Utah• Felt circles are great for put-ting under small appliances on the kitchen counter. They are easier to move around, and they won’t scratch the countertops.
You can find them at the hard-ware store, or make your own by cutting out what you need from a piece of felt and attach-ing it to the bottom of your ap-pliance with double-stick tape ... or even a drop of glue!• Running a washing machine that isn’t full not only wastes energy and water, it also wastes money because you’re paying to run more washes. Always fill the machine -- but remem-ber not to overload it! This ap-plies to your dishwasher, too.• “To help repel the dust on baseboards between cleanings, wipe with a used dryer sheet. To make this even easier, you can put the dryer sheet over a Swiffer-type floor cleaner.
This way, you don’t even have to bend down.” -- M.E. in Alabama• “You can use plain al-cohol on a paper towel to wipe down your house tele-phone. I do this a couple of times a week during cold season. Also, purchase a pack of electronics wipes, so everyone can keep his or her cellphone screen clean. Think about it: We constantly touch the screen with our fingers, then stick it right up to our face!” -- W.R. in New York

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Chester” has al-ways been a big shedder with his long hair. I’ve pretty
Cat’s Shedding a Hairy IssueBy Sam Mazzotta
much kept up with it by brushing his coat every evening. But lately I’ve noticed a lot more hair deposited on the furniture and carpet, and when I comb him I have to clean out the brush several times. What could be causing this increased shedding? -- Cherie K. in Dubuque, Iowa
DEAR CHERIE: To start, make an appointment with Chester’s vet for a complete physical exam. Excess shed-ding doesn’t always have a concrete explanation, but it can signal a change in his health, especially if it wasn’t a problem before.
Excess shedding can have a cause as benign as changes in the season -- shedding in spring and fall, for example. Or it could be triggered by allergies to dust, pollen and molds, which can irritate his skin and make him scratch more.
Skin diseases such as ringworm can be another cause -- it’s something the vet will certainly check for, along with flea infestation or other irritants.
Excess shedding also can signal much more serious conditions, such as diabetes or hyperthyroidism, some-thing that a vet can diagnose. Ahead of the appointment, watch Chester’s behavior: Is he drinking excessively? Does he seem agitated? Is he eating as much as he used to? Write down anything that seems unusual and shared it with the vet.
If Chester has developed a health condition, the vet can prescribe the right medications and advise you on the best diet to feed him. If allergies or some unknown irritant is at work, the exam will rule out other possible causes so you can focus on finding a shedding solution.

one and use them both at the same time. • 23 people were hired to do nothing but flush toilets at the
Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida before Christmas in 1989 in an effort to keep pipes from freezing.
• When Hank Aaron was on the verge of breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record, the Atlanta Journal stationed a reporter outside the men’s room in the stadium so they could get an interview of the tragedy of a man who went to the restroom at the wrong moment.
• The U.S. Navy was preparing to hit Makin Island in the Pacific during WWII. First they needed to know how many Japanese men were there. They knew the Japanese army usually had one latrine for every 40 soldiers. So they ordered pilots to make aerial surveys of outhouses in the area. They counted a hundred latrines— so there must be 4,000 soldiers. They were correct to within 40 men.
• A guide dog in Kent, England was told by his male master to lead him to the restrooms in the railway station. Unfortunately, the dog was unable to read “men” and “women” on the doors, which resulted in some upset ladies. Why they were upset when the man couldn’t see anything is not known.
• When Gordon and Jasmine Geisbrecht decided to open a new restaurant in Winnipeg in 1986, they wanted to make it really different. They decided to make toilets the theme of the restaurant. Called “The Outhouse,” toilet bowls were placed here and there in the decorating scheme, and menus featured a toilet bowl logo. Health inspectors suspended their license when it was found that their restroom facilities were inadequate.

Noteworthy InventionsTHOMAS CRAPPER
• Thomas Crapper, born in Yorkshire, England, in 1836, became an apprentice to his brother at the age of 14. His brother was a Master Plumber in London.
• By 1861 Thomas had completed his training and set up his own plumbing shop. In that day and age, proper people didn’t speak about bathrooms or the things that happened in bathrooms. So Thomas Crapper caused quite a stir when he advertised his business by displaying, right in his front window and in full view of everyone passing by, the complete collection of bathroom fixtures he offered for sale. According to legend, ladies became faint when viewing the porcelain bowls in his showroom.
• In order to overcome the prevailing attitude of prudery, Crapper outfitted his salesmen with tiny dollhouse-sized replicas of the toilets, sinks, and tubs he was selling. The customer was tasked with the chore of imagining how the full size fixtures would look in their house.
• This was also a day and age when it was thought that going to the bathroom indoors was unhygienic, a myth Thomas Crapper worked hard to dispel.
• His business got quite a boost when Edward Prince of Wales hired Thomas to install 30 bathrooms in his newly purchased estate, Sandringham House. When Edward became king, more plumbing jobs were handed to Thomas Crapper, followed by more work commissioned by King George V. Eventually Crapper installed bathrooms and plumbing fixtures in Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. The public thought that any plumber good enough for royalty was good enough for them, and Crapper’s business boomed.
• Along the way, Crapper invented many plumbing improvements and was awarded nine patents. However, the flush toilet had been invented by others long before Thomas Crapper came along.
• Crapper’s inventions included a method of fitting underground drain pipes together which helped reduce disease by reducing leakage from sewer pipes. He also invented improvements to the float valve that helps regulate the flushing and refilling action of the toilet tank.
• At one point he invented a spring-loaded toilet seat, which would automatically rise up when the seated person stood up. The lifting motion of the toilet seat triggered rods that automatically flushed the toilet. This design suffered from the unfortunate flaw that when the rubber gaskets began to age, they became sticky and would fail to lift until the pressure from springs became too great to resist. At this point the toilet seat would fly upwards, often smacking the unfortunate user on the rear. It became known as “the bottom slapper” and died an ignominious death.
• Because Crapper also owned his own foundry, he was able to manufacture his own pipes, fittings, and manhole covers. Today, the Crapper manhole covers in front of Westminster Abbey, which are inscribed: ‘T. Crapper & Co., Sanitary Engineers’ are a favorite stop for tourists who enjoy taking rubbings from them in the same way people take rubbings from tombstones.
• When soldiers during World War II saw the word “Crapper” stamped all over toilets throughout Europe, they began calling bathrooms by that name.
• Thomas Crapper died in 1910 and the business continued under the care of his nephew and his partner. In 1963 it was acquired by another firm.
