NOTED PLOW TOM RICHES Newt Bennington, Once Fa miliar Turf Figure, Released From Sanitarium. XEW YORK, July 5. —Like a man from the grave, W. Newton Benning ton once possessor of a fortune of $1,590,000. 'amassed largely through spectacular turf plunges, has reap peared in this clty._ His fortune has bf . en practically swept away. His health, however, has been restored to him after a long stage of mental and phvsical illness lasting five years, dur ing which he was confined in several sanitariums and hospitals. However, I thank God that I am alive." he said yesterday to a reporter. ■1 needed a long rest and I have had it. Now I weigh more than 170, pounds, and I'm going to plunge back into business again. You know that I al ways knew a lot about Teal estate (though people spoke of me mostly as a turf celebrity). "I have $40,000 worth of real estate left of my fortune. It is distributed in this state and in New Jersey. With this money I expect to begin my finan cial rehabilitation. You'll hear them speak again of ‘Million Dollar Ben nington’ in a year or two.” Bennington in appearance is Still the •‘tall plunger" whose nod to a book maker during the heyday of his turf career meant a’five-figure bets on Bel dame. DeMund or another of the great horses that raced under his colors. New York l-ooks Good to Him. “New York looks as good to me as a spring to a desert goat,” continued the man who insists that he is still “Lucky” Bennington. “I have known nothing of it practically during the past five years. “I went to Dr. Combes’ sanitarium in Flushing during the summer of 1907, as you may remember. This was follow ing a number of reverses and after a nervous breakdown. “When I left Dr. Combes’ I took up my tangled business affairs again. A few weeks later came the accident which came within a gambler’s ace of costing me my life. I went to Cobalt, Canada, with friends to inspect property there in which we had an interest. While walking alone I fell over a cliff which fell aft-ay a sheer three hundred feet. Fortunately, I was caught tn some tangled bushes which grew out of the side of the cliff, and I escaped with my life. “I was so badly hurt, however, that I entered Dr. Bull's sanitarium when I returned to New York. After leaving Dr. Bull’s I decided to give my shat tered nerves another chance to heal bj’ re entering Dr, Combes’ sanitarium. In June, 1919. I left Dr. Combes’ place in gthgck. I thought that we were going to the Erie railroad, where I was to take a train for my home in Cornwall. For some strange reason the hackman drove to the Ontario and Western rail road station and I found myself aboard a, train for Middletown, N. Y. Won $500,000 in Four Years. "I haven't the slightest idea who gave the ha.ckman the order to drive to the 0. & W station. I am sure it was not Dr. Combes or my wife. “Anyway, when I got to Middletown I found that I was consigned to the State Homoeopathic hospital there. I have been there for the past two years. I had a private room, was well cared for and for a time was satisfied be cause I knew that I needed a good, long rest." Newt Bennington, six years ago, was one of the most conspicuous figures in the Wall Street district and on the turf. In his heyday he was a chum of Gates, Drake. Davy Johnson and others whose bets nn a single race often totaled $109,000. Bennington's career on the turf was inost spectacular. With Fred Bellew he won $500,000 in stake winnings in one period of four years. He con trolled the services of Frank O'Neill, who was for seasons one of the most successful of jockeys. This combina tion was dazzling in its pecuniary re- NJ-’s. Bennington won a fortune in purses with the great colt DeMund be fore he sold him for $40,000 to Paul J.

Thomson showing how to hathe an infant properly. highly important, too —should not be bathed sooner than one hour after eat ing. To bathe it in any less time means to draw the blood away from the stomach and interfere with diges tion. Soft clothes and a little good soap should be used, but never use cjoths, soap nor towels that have been used by any one else, because of the danger of infection. Disease frequent ly is carried to the nose, eyes and mouth through sheer carelessness in this respect. The wash cloth should be thoroughly cleansed, boiled and dried after each bath. Avoid a sponge. Small Tin Tub Practical, The temperature of the room at the time of the bath should be 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If a tub bath is to be MAIL MEN HEAR GDDD ROADS PLEA Legislators, Before Convention of Carriers, Urge Creation of Highway Commission. Ex-Governor John M. Slaton and John N. Holder, speaker of the house of representatives, in addresses to the Rural Letter Carriers association to day, warmly urged the good roads movement and the creation of a state highway commission to have charge of all roads and bridges. At the close of the addresses a resolution indorsing the measures was ajdopted by the asso ciation. During his address. Mr. Slaton said: “There is a bill before the general as sembly to make all roads on which there are rural routes public roads, and it should by all means become a law. "Such roads would tend to make the efficiency of 'the carriers greater and would end in the advancement of the people at large. "We have a great deal to thank our letter carriers for. They’ are doing much towards bringing the city and country in closer touch.” Mr. Holden emphasized the need of a highway commission. Another session of the convention be gins this afternoon. Officers for the coming y ear will be elected, resolutions may be adapted, the next meeting place will be selected and other business mat ters will be considered. W. E. Carnes. The funeral services of W. E. Carnes, a business man of Jonesboro, who died yesterday, were held there early to day. Mr. Carnes died at the residence of Dr. W. H. Gillham, of Eager, Ga., late yesterday. 'He is survived by his widow and several children. given, a rubber tub will be found satis factory’, but a small tin foot tub is also practical If there are any draughts in the room, a screen should be placed around the baby to protect it from cold.' The face and head should first be bathed, care being used as to the ears. The baby should be taken oul of the bath as quickly as possible, and the little body thoroughly dried. You must not rub too hard, however, as the tender .kin will chafe. Following this, dust a little talcum powder in the folds of the neck, be hind the' ears, under the arms, and in the groin. Baby should then be dress ed quickly, the clothes being put on over the feet. It is important that the mouth and nostrils both be cleaned. If the bath is given at a regular hour before feeding, the baby will sleep tw’o or three hours, and this will lay’ th,e foundation for a regular nap. The same principles apply in giving the baby a lap bath—by this I mean bathing the baby on your lap without putting it in a tub. Os course, the lap bath is essential in the cleansing of in fants. Use a soft cloth, and expose only that part of the body that is be ing bathed. Dry the body as you go, covering the portion just bathed and then exposing another part ready’ for the wash cloth. The whole body of the baby should never be exposed at any one time during the bath, as the chances of cold are so great. COUNTERFEITER WHO SERVED TERM HERE IS KILLED AT RICHMOND RICHMOND.
