Q: My mom gave me three old cookie jars that are from the1950s. I wonder if they have any value. — Sue, Arkadelphia, Ark.

A: Before I answer your question, let me share a personal story.During the early 1950s, I raced home from school each afternoonso that I wouldn’t miss a single minute of “The Howdy DoodyShow.” The broadcast featured a boy marionette with 48 freckles

Cookie Jars

— a freckle for each state of the union — and an assortment ofother characters that included the host, Buffalo Bob Smith. Justbefore my birthday in 1953, I spotted a Howdy Doody cookie jarin a catalog and coaxed my mother to fork out the $3.98 cents forit. She did, and the cookie jar occupied a place in our kitchen wellinto the next decade. Eventually, I left home, and mother donated“Howdy” to a thrift shop. Imagine my chagrin when I recentlydiscovered that Howdy Doody cookie jars now routinely sell forwell above $500.

Although the feeding frenzy has cooled with collectors in recentyears and prices have softened, cookie jars are still popular. Evencommon jars from good manufacturers often sell in the $50 to$100 range. Some of the better companies include AmericanBisque, Brush, McCoy, Metlox, Regal, Shawnee and TreasureCraft.

Collectors should be cautious when buying cookie jars.Reproductions have flooded the marketplace, and the MammyCookie Jar marked McCoy might be a knock-off. Do yourhomework, examine the jars carefully for chips, cracks and otherflaws, and learn as much as you can about current values. A quickcheck of eBay revealed several interesting examples, includingMother Goose by McCoy, $90; Dopey from Snow White byTreasure Craft, $150; Frog Prince by Metlox, $60; Dutch Girl byShawnee, $220; and Betty Boop by Clay Art, $40.

One of the better groups is the American Cookie JarAssociation, which has about 200 members nationwide. Dues are$10 per year and membership includes an excellent newsletter.The contact information is 4005 Spyglass Lane, Bethany, OK73008; and http://www.cookiejarclub.com.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTHBy Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I read a cover story in a

national magazine that claimed there is much

question about the need to lower cholesterol and

to prescribe statin medicines. I can’t believe this

story wasn’t front-page news, since 18 million

Americans take statin drugs. People taking statins

are exposed to the risks of muscle pain, memory

loss and sexual dysfunction. My husband

experienced these firsthand. His doctor ignored all

his complaints and changed only the brand of

statin drug. I hope you look into these reports on

cholesterol and statin drugs and get the truth out

to your readers. — R.B.

ANSWER: I know thatvoices of dissent ariseabout every medicaltheory and over every drugdeveloped to correctwhat most consider ahealth hazard. Numerousstudies have confirmed theproposition that high blood

cholesterol and high blood LDL cholesterol lead toheart attacks and strokes. Most of the worldwidemedical community subscribes to that proposition.Similarly, innumerable articles have demonstratedthat lowering cholesterol and LDL cholesterolprevents heart attacks and strokes, prolongs life andcan possibly reverse artery-hardening. All of this hasbeen done by rigorous scientific investigations.

Statins are the most powerful medicines for thelowering of cholesterol. (Statins are: Zocor,Pravachol, Crestor, Lescol, Mevacor and Lipitor.)Muscle pain occurs in 1 in 1,000 users. Muscledamage occurs in much fewer. Memory loss andsexual dysfunction are very rare. Most of the sideeffects of statins are reversed with discontinuation.

Every doctor I know believes in the cholesteroltheory and in the benefits of statin therapy. I putmy money where my mouth is. I take a statin.

To be fair, the magazine should present the otherside of the story.

The pamphlet on cholesterol tells the whole storyin detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr.Donohue — No. 201W, Box 536475. Orlando, FL32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (nocash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’sprinted name and address. Please allow four weeksfor delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband wears his belt

so tight that it leaves a deep mark on his skin. He

has constant heartburn, for which he takes Tums

by the handful. I tell him to loosen his belt and he

won’t have so much heartburn. He says his pants

fall down when he does. He has a big stomach. Do

you think the belt has anything to do with his

heartburn? He also has a hernia. How about that?

— C.N.

ANSWER: Anything that constricts the stomachcan encourage the upward spurt of stomach acidinto the esophagus, where it causes heartburn. Yourhusband should at least try belt-loosening as apossible solution. If his pants are falling down, buyhim suspenders.

The tight belt isn’t likely to have any influence onhis hernia.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What causes bags under

the eyes? — L.B.

ANSWER: In younger years, tough fiber strandsunder the eyes form a grill that keeps fat frombulging forward. In older years, those strands giveway and fat protrudes to make undereye bulges— bags.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual

letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever

possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of

available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL

32853-6475.

February 19 - 25, 2009

To hear NASCAR tell it, Brian France is aregular Thomas Jefferson.

The NASCAR chairman and CEO wantsequality. He wants all his race cars to be createdequal. NASCAR, like so many other professionalsports, has been “trending parity” for well over adecade now, but the new car, implemented partiallytwo years ago and fully last year, is the ultimatestep.

Trouble is, parity isn’t working.In 2001, 19 different drivers won races. Last

year there were 12. The number has gone down insix of the last eight seasons.

Two years ago, one multi-car team, HendrickMotorsports, won half the races. Last year threedrivers — Carl Edwards (9), Kyle Busch (8) andSprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson (7) —combined to win two-thirds of the races. Fourteams divided up the 12 spots in the Chase for theSprint Cup.

In short, while NASCAR was makingeverything just alike, the rich were getting richerand the poor poorer.

This comes to no surprise to one of the sport’selite owners, Jack Roush, who doesn’t much mind.

“It’s not going to be the case that a change inthe car is really going to dramatically change the

Parity Isn’tWorking

continued on page 17...


make-up of who wins the racesand which manufacturers aredominant and other things,” hesaid. “I think the cream will riseto the top regardless.”

If this pattern doesn’t changethis year, NASCAR’s gotproblems.

The facts are undeniable. Inthe short term, making the carsalmost just alike has made theoutcomes of too many races justalike. That wasn’t the plan. Theteams with the most resourcesfigured out the new car more quickly, and Victory Lane has become more andmore exclusive.

Last year Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick didn’t win any races.Dale Earnhardt Jr. won one. Fans of those four drivers take up a hefty share ofthe seats in NASCAR grandstands.

There is, however, hope. Perhaps there’s still a bit of “tomorrow” left in thenew car. Maybe the haves will start catching up this year. It remains to be seenwhether or not that is just wishful thinking.

Kurt Busch finished only 18th in the standings last year — he won thechampionship in 2004 — but he sees light at the end of the tunnel.

“Quite a bit of work is going down, but in the end, this Car of Tomorrow isgoing to be a good thing,” he said. “I can’t say that right now it’s approved byeverybody’s standards, but for us and myself, the interjection of safety is obviouslythe key thing.”

Michael Waltrip has the perspective of both driver and owner, and he’s beenstruggling recently in both capacities. NASCAR’s decision to ban most testinghasn’t diminished his optimism.

“I might be wrong,” said Waltrip, “but I do believe that we’re learning asmuch or more about the new car than we ever have before with computersimulation, and with seven-post shaker machines and the wind tunnel.

“I feel real confident that things are going to get better this year.”

Monte Dutton has covered motorsports for The Gaston (N.C.) Gazette since 1993. He was named writer ofthe year by the National Motorsports Press Association in 2008. His blog NASCAR This Week (http://nascar.rbma.com) features all of his reporting on racing, roots music and life on the road. You can e-mailMonte at [email protected].

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your column aboutthe Shih Tzu and its problem with ear infections, andwanted to pass on something I learned many years agofrom an old-time eye, ear, nose and throat specialist.This also works for children who are prone to swimmer’sear.

I had two hunting breed dogs with long ears, and welived right on the shores of Lake Michigan, so they wereconstantly having ear problems. What the doctor toldme is as follows: Have the patient lie with the bad earup. Using a plastic eyedropper filled with hydrogenperoxide (dilute peroxide with water before use), gentlysquirt the contents into the ear. Allow this to bubble forat least a minute. Thoroughly dry the ear, and use Q-tips carefully to clean out the debris. After the ear is asdry as possible, tap Desenex powder down into the earwith the patient lying on his or her side again so thepowder gets down into the ear. This may have to bedone every other day for a week, but it worked for me— both with my dogs and my children. I hope thistreatment helps “Sandy.” — Bernie W. in OrmondBeach, Fla.

DEAR BERNIE: This type of treatment is available(for humans) in a kit at drugstores featuring a dilutedsolution of hydrogen peroxide. I would exercise cautionin using this treatment with small dogs, however.

I also strongly recommend that owners whose petsare experiencing an ear infection, either for the firsttime or recurring, go to their veterinarian first to havethe ears examined. The vet should test for evidence ofear mites, a yeast infection or other cause. Ear mites

Old-Time Remedy for Ear InfectionBy Sam Mazzotta

can be quickly treated, but recurring ear infections canbe trickier — topical medicines often only treat thesymptoms, and the cause, such as allergies, can takemore time and effort to diagnose.
