• It was revered Chinese philosopher Confucius who made the following sage observation: "He who learns but does not think is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger."

• If you ever have occasion to refer to an item that pertains to walnuts, it will be useful to have the word juglandaceous at your disposal.

• It's well-known that the United States is a melting pot of nationalities. At the end of the 1800s, New York City was so diverse that it had more Irish than any city except Dublin, and a larger Russian population than was to be found at that time in the city of Kiev. The only two cities in the world that had more German speakers were Vienna and Berlin, and Milan and Naples had fewer Italians than New York.

• If you're like the average American, you will eat 1.5 tons of food this year.

• Beeswax candles are valued largely because they don't drip as other candles do, but they're also very durable. Archaeologists have found still-pliable beeswax candles in Egyptian tombs, and some have been recovered in good condition from sunken ships.

• Iowa has the highest literacy rate in America.

• In the grocery stores of today you might find a half-dozen varieties of apple, if you're lucky. In centuries past, though, there were more than 350 varieties that were grown just for the purpose of making cider.

Q: While attending a church sale in Iowa earlier this year, I spotted a Rookwood vase, which I bought for $100. After returning to my home in Texas, I asked an antiques dealer if he could identify it for me. He claims it is the work of Ed Diers, one of his poppy patterns executed on a vellum flaring vase. He could not give me an idea of its value, and that is why I am writing you. -- Betty, College Station, Texas

A: You got quite a deal. One of the better referenc-es for this type of ceramics is “Warman’s Rookwood Pottery: Identification and Price Guide” by Denise Rago and Jonathan Claney (Krause Publications). According to this reference, your vase was made in about 1927, and in mint condition is valued in the $4,000 to $6,000 range.

A word of caution: Reproductions of Rookwood have popped up at flea markets and in shops in recent years, the work of wicked Asian reproduction elves who never, ever rest. To make certain you purchased the real deal, a certified appraisal should be next on your shopping list.

• • •Q: I have a Kodak camera that still has its original

instruction book. It also includes a tripod. How much is it worth? -- Katherine, Grand Junction, Colo.

A: There are Kodak cameras ... and there are Kodak cameras. Your question is a little like how much is my old car worth. If the car is a 1934 Pack-ard roadster, quite a bit, but if it is a Yugo, not so much. Without a model number and condition, I can’t help you.

• • •Q: I have two Jim Beam bottles: “Ohio” in the

state series, and “George Washington” in the people series. I have been offered $25 for each, but I think that is probably too low. What do you think? -- Steve,

Rookwood Vase

Paris, TexasA: I think that collecting Jim Beam bottles isn’t

as spirited as it was about 20 years ago. I checked several price guides, and your bottles seem to be valued at about $15 each. In other words, take the money and run.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Last fall, my heart started to jump around, and I took it that I had pal-pitations, although I wasn’t sure what palpitations were. It turns out I had atrial fibrillation. Since then, I have been on many medicines for the atrial fibrilla-tion plus Coumadin, a blood thinner. The Coumadin requires frequent trips to the lab. I have a hard time getting around. I don’t drive. My doctor suggests ablation. What are your thoughts? -- H.M.

ANSWER: Atrial fibrillation is in either first or second place when it comes to heart questions. It

means the heart beats rapidly and irregularly. The rapid heart pumps less effectively, and the irregular beat promotes the formation of blood clots in the upper heart chambers. Those clots, or pieces of them, can be carried through the circulation to the brain, where they cause a stroke.

Treatment for atrial fibrillation aims to slow the heart, get it to beat regularly and prevent clots from forming if a regular rhythm cannot be attained.

Medicines sometimes can both slow the heart and restore a normal rhythm. If a normal rhythm is not achieved, the patient will still do well if the heart beats slowly. That patient, however, must add to his or her treatment a blood thinner like Coumadin to prevent clots and a stroke.

Your doctor has suggested a way to restore a regu-lar beat -- ablation. A heart doctor inches a special catheter -- a thin, pliable tube -- from a surface blood vessel to the heart. The catheter is equipped to emit radio waves, which make a series of scars to prevent the generation of erratic signals that spawn atrial fib. The result, when the procedure is effective, is a normal, regular heartbeat. The patient can then kiss Coumadin goodbye. My thoughts are that it’s worth serious consideration.

You can also get rid of Coumadin by switching to Pradaxa, a blood thinner that doesn’t require lab testing. It’s new and is somewhat expen-sive.

The booklet on heartbeat irregulari-ties explains atrial fibrillation in detail. To order a copy, write to: Dr. Dono-hue -- No. 107W, Box 536475, Orlan-do, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6. Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please al-low four weeks for delivery.

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

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I’m a 34-year-old male and am going bald. What is your opinion on hair transplants? Do they last? How success-ful are they? -- L.K.

ANSWER: Male hair loss occurs because male hormones shrivel hair follicles, the home for each hair. The hair thins, is shorter and falls out well before its time. Sensitivity to this male hormone action is genetically programmed, and in some men, it takes place at young ages.

Have you considered using minoxidil, which is applied to the scalp, or finasteride, an oral medicine?

Hair transplantation works well. The hair is taken from the back of the head, where hair fol-licles have a long life. It’s very successful.

It would be wise to check with a doctor to see if your hair loss really is something you inherited, or if it’s a sign of something else.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer indi-

vidual 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.

Ways to Control Irregular Heart

• Save the rubber bands from broccoli. You can put them around the body of a drinking glass so it will be less slippery as water condenses on it.

• “I save the wrappers from my unsalted butter sticks in a baggie in my refrigerator. I use them to grease a pan when baking.” -- M.M. in Wisconsin

• Corn is best cooked within a day or two of being picked, so farm-stand corn is the best. Add a little bit of milk to the cooking water, and it will bring out the natural sweetness.

• Cherries are in season! Much like strawberries, they need to be kept refrigerated but taste best at room temperature. Before eating your cherries, let them sit out for about a half-hour. Mmmmm.

• Dried lentils don’t need to be soaked prior to cooking like other dried beans. And they’re packed with protein.

• “If you lose a contact lens and can’t find it right off, try turning out the lights and shining a flashlight across the ground. The lens might reflect the light and cause a flash. That will make it easier to find.” -- T.L. in Texas

June 21 - 27, 2012

Not only did the season's 14th race come down to a battle between two drivers -- Joey Logano and Mark Martin -- separated in age by 31 years, but they are also the Sprint Cup Series' best example of a pupil and a teacher. Martin, 53, was raving about Logano, 22, when the latter was 12.

In a sense, Logano nudged his biggest fan out of the way. He won at Pocono Raceway by what Martin himself referred to as the old "bump and run."

"It has been acceptable in this racing for a long time," Martin said. "It's not how I would have done it, but certainly, if I'd have had a fast-enough car, he would have gotten a return. But I couldn't quite keep up with him." As Charlie Robison sang, "These are desperate times." The general perception in the sport is that Logano -- and in a sense, this seems ridiculous given his still-tender

age -- is under some pressure to keep his ride once the season ends.

Whether that's true or not -- or whether winning remedies whatever the situ-ation truly is -- a victory has to help. Beforehand, the worry was whether or not Logano could remain at Joe Gibbs

Racing. Afterward, talk drifted ever so slightly in the direction of whether or not Logano wants to stay there. All of a sudden, he's the one with options.

"No, I haven't been informed on where I stand for next year yet, so it's all up in the air," Logano said. "Obviously, winning a race means a lot and it helps that out a ton. For sure, right now, my future is not set with anybody. You

need to go out there and win races, not like we always do, but to get this win means a lot.

"It's at a perfect time, and I think us teaming up with Jason (Ratcliff, his crew chief) this year has been a really big help for me, and able to make our whole team really work together really well, and it's paying off. My hope is to obviously stay with what I've got and keep working with Jason, but you never know. Those things go back and forth and switch around a lot, and all I can do is stay focused on my job, and that's driving the race car."

Now the ball's back in team president J.D. Gibbs' court, and it might not be a bad idea to come up with a new contract offer. The price tag may be rising.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: Our town has designated a small park near my home as a place where dogs are allowed. It's not an official dog park, and because it also has a playground at one corner, many of us who visit have agreed that, if children are present, our dogs will be on leashes so as not to cause a problem. We've found the best way to allow our dogs to run free is to show up very early, when kids aren't present. And we pick up after our dogs so the park remains a pleasant place for all.

But there's one person who doesn't respect this agreement. He lets his dog poop wherever and never picks up after it, brings his dog at all hours and lets it run off the leash when kids are around. Is there anything we can do to stop this? -- Naomi in Newton, Mass.

DEAR NAOMI: Have you approached him directly? If he doesn't know that you and other fellow dog-owners have set up unwritten rules on managing the dogs' conduct, he won't know about the leash rule you've established. Remind him that it's good manners and common sense to pick up after his dog, particularly in a park where kids run and play. In many communities, it's a ticketable offense not to pick up after your dog.

If he ignores the request, make it again. Explain that the rules were put together in order to keep the park open to dogs -- if there are too many complaints, the city could ban pets from the park. If you can't convince him, your group may have to form a more official club with written rules, in order to negotiate with both the city and boorish dog owners.
