ments real Turkish bath. This supreme
luxury of the stable has been added to
the animals daily toilet through the in
genuity of James I. Welo, of this town.
What is good for man must be good for
the horse was the argument uppermost
in Mr.. Welo's mind when he began to
work out his idea for the treatment of
tired race horses by the Turkish bath
method. If wearied business man can
get freshened up, revived and restored
to his former buoyancy by being par
boiled, rubbed, scrubbed and kneaded
and then vigorously towFed and put to
rest on a slab, why should the condition
of a thoroughbred not be improved by
the same process? The argument APP
pealed to local racing men as sound and
logical, and Welo was encouraged to
concentrate his mechanical powers on an
apparatus that would be suitable to per-
form the Turkish process Of stimula-
ton of tired muscles at the race track
or In connection with the travelling stable.
