Q: My grandpa was a carpenter, and I have inherited his toolbox filled with his original tools. Are they worth keep-ing? -- Beth, West Palm Beach, Florida

A: Think of your toolbox as a treasure chest. The value of tools has increased dramatically during the past few years. For example, a Dovetail plane, Stanley No. 44, which would have sold for about $300 a decade or so ago, now is

• Peas, spinach, sweet potato, squash and carrots can be pureed and added to baked goods to increase fiber and

nutrients. They are especially useful in soups to thicken a broth without adding fat. You can sneak some veggies into unexpected places, too -- like cookies, pancake batter and pasta dishes, or make a flavorful sandwich spread.

• “Juice ice cubes in water is good for you. It hydrates without a lot of sugar, while still tasting a little bit sweet.” -- F.R. in Alabama

• It’s easy to sort hardware using a muffin pan. If you get a pan that has 12 depressions, you can line up nails and screws and such according to size, making it even more convenient.

• “When you get a new pair of running shoes, treat the insides with spray starch. We have always done this, and it keeps them fresher longer.” -- S.M. in Indiana

• Lettuce will last longer if you store it in the crisper drawer in a clean paper bag.

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for pa-tients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman al-ready dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase

at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.

After a chat about rules there being rules, he reluc-tantly let me wheel him to the elevator.

On the way down I asked him if his wife was meet-ing him.

"I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."

• • •Q: As a kid growing up in Brooklyn during the 1940s, I

ate Wheaties for breakfast because it sponsored “Jack Arm-strong” on afternoon radio. I have a milk glass cereal bowl, a bicycle safety kit and a pedometer, all products that were Armstrong premiums. I have a sentimental attachment to these three items but also wonder about current values. -- Don, Lexington, Kentucky

A: The Jack Armstrong radio program began during the summer of 1933 and continued until 1951. It was one of the most popular and longest-running radio adventure series ever. The broadcasts generated dozens of products, including two of my personal favorites: a coveted and rare signaling mirror and secret whistle, both used to send messages. After check-ing the Internet and several price guides, including “Hake’s Price Guide to Character Toys” by Ted Hake and published by House of Collectibles, I have determined your cereal bowl is probably worth about $35 and the bicycle safety kit, if intact, in the $100 to $300 range. The pedometer’s value is more dif-ficult to determine, since several models were issued and I am uncertain which one you have.

• Though they seemingly have little in common, early 20th-century American politician William Jennings Bryan and 19th-century French author Honore de Balzac seemed to share a distrust of great wealth. Bryan observed, “No one can earn a million dol-lars honestly,” and Balzac, echoing that sentiment, stated, “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.”

• A single speck of blood contains around 5 million red blood cells.

• You might be surprised to learn that ebooks are not a recent phenomenon; back in 1971 a man named Michael S. Hart began to digitize printed works, typing them in by hand. His first project -- The Declaration of Independence.

• Woodrow Wilson is the only U.S. president who held a Ph.D.• With a height of 321 feet, the Memphis Pyramid, completed in

by Samantha Weaver

1991, is the largest pyramid in the Americas, and the sixth-largest in the world.

• The Dalai Lama likes to repair watches as a way to relax. • Before modern medical techniques became common, it was

not unusual for people to be inadvertently buried alive. In 1819, the Doctor Regent of the Faculty of Medicine in Paris estimated that one-third to one-half of people who died in bed were, in fact, still alive when they were interred. This led to the invention of the “security coffin,” which was connected to a monitoring station by a long tube. If the presumed corpse did regain consciousness, food and drink could be transported through the tube while the coffin was exhumed.

• • •Thought for the Day: “Good humor is a tonic for mind and body.

It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.” -- Grenville Klieser

FIRST BORN...?Brian’s stress level was at unsurpassed levels.

His wife Maggie was in labor and Brian was sure it was time to head to the hospital. Breathing heav-ily, Brian grabbed the phone and called the doctor.

“MY WIFE, SHE’S READY, SHOULD WE COME?” The doctor tried to relax the poor fellow, “just try to

relax, now tell me how much time elapses between the contractions?”

“SHIRLEY!” Brian screamed on the top of his lungs,

“HOW MUCH TIME IN BETWEEN THE CON-TRACTIONS? TEN MINUTES? OK, TEN MINUTES IN BETWEEN!”

“And is this her first child?” Questioned the doctor. “NO YOU STUPID NITWIT, THIS IS HER HUSBAND!”
