particularly the albumen, is not easily ab- 

 sorbed and most of it passes out through 

 the bowels. Cottage cheese is quickly 

 digested. 



9 Special note — small lumps of meat are 

 more readily assimilated than is ground 

 or hashed meat. 



10. Fats are easily digested by dogs, but 

 fats should not comprise more than a 

 fourth of the weight of the food fed to 

 the dog. 



11. Liver is always a very desirable part 

 of the dog's diet and should be fed at 

 least once weekly. 



CONCLUSION— STILL MAN'S BEST FRIEND 



It's Worth All the Worry 



Bringing up a puppy to doghood is an 

 achievement and also a practical course in 

 teaching. One becomes a master of ani- 

 mal psychology and an expert in peda- 

 gogy. 



But the work and the worry, the clean- 

 ing up after the puppy, the reprimands 

 and the disappointments — all are worth- 

 while and are well repaid by the dog as he 

 develops into an appreciative, loyal, obe- 

 dient, faithful member of the household. 



Nearest to Man of All 



A little soft warm bundle of fur which 

 came into your home greatly frightened, 

 biologically one of the beasts of the field, 

 has almost bridged the wide gap between 

 the human race and the animal kingdom. 



He has come out of the fields and forests 

 of his ancestors to live by your side in the 

 midst of modern civilization ; and he makes 

 the adjustment splendidly. 



There is no other instance of such great 

 progress from one stage to another as that 

 of the dog, which adjusts himself to all the 

 needs and desires of man. He comes from 

 savagery to civilization within the short 

 period of twelve months and indeed repre- 

 sents man's greatest achievement over the 

 animal kingdom. 



Give that four-footed nrtember of your 

 family the consideration and care to which 

 you are obligated ; and when in old age h« 

 moves slowly, his eyes water, and he 

 dreams of puppyhood days, his passing on 

 will be that of a loved and lovable mem- 

 ber of the family whose soul never knew 

 dishonesty and deceit.
