Dog's Ears Timed To Catch Sounds Man Can’t Hear

New Type Whistle C* ,f s D Without Disturbing the Neighborhood. i Have you ever heard , a dog howl mournfully when certain music was played? No doubt it sounded comical to you but it may actually have been painful to the dog. Here's why. A dog’s sense of, hearing is much more s Live than that of human beings. Certain sounds may cause considerable discomfort to a dog's hearing. Music may hit a pitch that causes considerable pain to a dog. j'.

Working on this principle, an English inventor several years ago developed what is known as a silent dog whistle. Only a slight hiss is audible to the human ear but it is apparently loud and pleasing to dogs. From England this new whistle has been brought to this .country. Many have been sold at comparatively high prices. But now. at a nominal price, a domestic silent dog whistle that compares very favorably with the English one is available. It can he had by sending to a St. Louis firm, the coupon that comes with the purchase from our local Purina dealer of five pounds of his dry food for dogs—Dog Chow, and the nominal amount asked. Because the new whistle is designed to command the attention of a dog up to 200 to 300 yards, it is just as useful to hunters as it is to the man who wishes to call his pet dog without disturbing the entire neighborhood. As one man expressed it. he can call his dog In private when he his new whistle.
