"dog"-from the old English "dogge,"
the French "dogue" and the Latin
"dogo"-was used to designate a GER
tain type of fighting or hunting dog,
but later came into general usage
for all types of dogs. The word dog"
is believed to be corruption of the
sound "daw, daw, daw," which is the
sound of the bark of dog when
heard in the distance.
The expression dog days" comes
to US from ancient times and has its
origin in the fact that the sun is
nearer Sirius, commonly called the
Dog Star, during the hottest part of
the summer. Today dog days" are
considered to continue for 40 days
20 days before and 20 days after ST.
RUS appears; or from July 3 to
August II.
According to Mr.. Miller, "mon-
grel" came from the word min
gle"-descriptive of a mixed or un-
known pedigree: "Fido" is Latin for
faithful a term we'll de-
served by the dog, the most faithful
OF mans companions through the
ages; and Terrier" derives from the
Latin word terra" and the French
word "terre," both meaning earth.
Terriers were dogs originally en-
ployed for digging after game in the
earth, as in hunting foxes and bad
gers.
Mr.. Miller also gave quick ex-
plantations on how certain breeds Of
dogs got their Names.
"Schnauzer is derived from the
German term for whiskers, for
which this breed is famous.
"ChOw Chow. Chow in Chinese
means something that is edible, and
in China the Chow Chow is favored
as an all-around dog, including its
use for food in an emergency.
"Whippet. The Whippet was always
a running dog. It was noted that this
dog. had the habit of swapping at the
heels of other dogs when running
after game. and that the noise made
by this swapping resembled the

The lowly Dachshund is now up
among the ten dog breeds which lead
in the number of purebred registra-
tons in this country, according to the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New

the credit for this achievement is due
to the efforts of the Dachshund Club
of America which this year celebrates

Figures compiled by Joseph E. Bal

restless sleep, weakness.
To get real relief you must increase
the fiow Of this vital gastric Juice. Medi-
cal authorities, in independent labora-
tory tests on human stomachs, have by
positive proof shown that SIS Tonic is
amazingly effective in increasing this
