Know Your Dog By ROBERT BRIGGS LOGAN Editor's Note Wanted to buy A trained dog. A reasonable oasb price will be paid. Anybody having a dog lor sale, please address tne Dog tumor of the wuaes-Barre neoora, giving pedigree, age. price and any other peruneni details. When one takes into considera tion the small chance a dog ha of living, the importance of caring for him properly Is fully realized.

Everyone who ha at some time or other owned dogs has been sad dened by the death of at least one, because the owner (JDuld not care for his dog's ailments. The American Kennel Club claims that one out of every two puppies horn die before reaching maturity. In moat cases these deaths are the result of Illnesses that could have been cured had the owner known how to overcome them. With a little attention this excessive death rate could be reduced by a high degree. It is widely believed that a mon grel 1 much sturdier than the pedigreed dog.

This might be true to some extent. But they all need watching while tney are pups. There ara by far more mongrels born than full bred puppies, Dut many of these mongrels are born without a home. Practically every blue blood has been bred and accounted for. There are two principal sicknesses that kill puppies.

Worms and distemper. The other causes are more or leas unnatural. Dogs have worms all their lives, but when they are puppies their resistance I low and consequently the worms affect them more. Once a dog becomes Infested with- these worms, At of nervousness arise and very little can be done to cure the dog. The worms crawling around inside their stomachs drive them crazy before tney can oe wormea ana riaaea of their plight There are but few cases where dogs have lived through a siege of worms.

A dog slowly dying in this manner Is a pitiable scene. Distemper I merely the dog nam for pneumonia. Every dog can contract It regardless of age If left In a damp place or not given enough exercise. Most dogs have thl ailment when they are young whether it is noted or not. It mlgnt be the case of Just a slight cold which can aeveiop into aistemper or they might overcome It only to die from that same cause later In life.

Distemper 1 a troublesome illness to handle. The dog must be watched every minute and given the best 01 in owner need not be alarmed If hla puppy come down with this dlseaa provided he treat it Immediately after discovering the condition hi pet Is In. The treatment lor worm and ais temper will be discussed in this column tomorrow. With worms, the dog can only be given the regular worm capsules at the proper time. This varies according to the age of the dog.

But distemper can 6 treated In several different manner, according to how -severe the cold is when discovered. Of course, a veterinarian should always be con sulted whenever your pet seems to be the least bit ill.
