Not for Everything.

But if you have kidney, liver or
bladder trouble you will find Swamp
Root just the remedy you need. Peo-
pie are not apt to get anxious about
their health soon enough. If you are
" not quite we'll" or "half sick" have
you ever thought that your kidneys
may be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or
dull ache in the back are also convinc-
ing proof that the kidneys and bladder
need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulfills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urinary troubles. Not
only does Swamp-Root give new life
and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys
it acts as tonic for the entire consti-
tuition. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents ard one dollar,
or by mentioning the TELEGRAPH
COURIER and sending your address to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. y.
you may have sample bottle of this
great discovery sent to you free by
mail.

Obituary.

William COTE, whose death occurred
at his home in this city on Now, was
born in Bedford, New Hampshire, Dec.
IA, 1909, and was the sixth child of
Major Theodore COTE. His grand
father, Major John COTE, was soldier
of the Revolution, commanding bat
talon of volunteers at Saratoga under
Gen. Gates. His great grandfather,
Col. John COTE, was member of the
provisional legislatures of New Hamp-
shire, was a noted captain in the
French and Indian wars, and colonel of
the Ninth New Hampshire Volunteers
in 1776. The COTE family are of
Puritanic stock and came to America
soon after the restoration of the Stew
arts to the British throne. William
COTE, the Regicide, was in the genoa
logical line. He was chief of staff to
the Lord Protector and major gen
eral of CromwelPs army.
William COTE, the subject of this
sketch, was for many years prior to
1915 engaged in the tannery business
at Bedford, N. H., but meeting with a
loss by fire, which destroyed his factory
he Joined the tide of emigration that
was then moving westward to the ter
ritories beyond the great lakes. In
1917 he settled at Southport (now Ke-
nosha), and from that day until his
death (half a century, he has been a
resident and a familiar parsonage in
our city. He had seen the associates
of his early manhood, one by one, drop
from the line and pass away, until he
and scattering few of bowed and
wrinkled men and women were left of
the noble band of early Wisconsin
pioneers.
William COTE leaves a widow, four
sons and a daughter to cherish the
memory of a most loving and devoted
husband and father. His highest am
bition in life was to be at peace with
his fellow men and to rear his sors and
daughters in the path of right and
honorable usefulness.

Missed the Electric.

A few days since party of Keno
shans made arrangements to take an
electric car ride to Racine, dine in
that city and return over the line of the
M, R. & z. Electric Railway. They
took the bus from the Grant House

reached the railway station, however,
they found that they were late and the
car had left They returned to the
city and telephoned to Racine to save
the dinner for them. When the next
bus departed they were on it, but like
the other it failed to connect, and they
we're again disappointed. Obedient to
old adage, IF at first you don't sue
coed, try, try again." they assembled
their third bus. According to their
story this, too, missed the car, and
they were compelled through the late
ness of the hour, to give up their trip.

CHANGE IN MILK SHIPPING.
A Prominent Milk Company of Chicago
Will Ship only Cream.


Papers were being signed here today
which will make quite change in the
milk shipping business from this coun-
ty. The object of the new change is
to get the extract of bovine into Chi
cago at a minimum of cost in freight
rates. One of the prominent milk
companies of Chicago today signed a
lease of one of the big creameries OF
the town of Pleasant Prairie. Now
the milk shippers, instead of sending
their milk to Chicago in cans, will take
it to the creamery, separate the cream
from the milk, ship all the cream to
Chicago and only such part of the skim
milk as may be absolutely necessary.
The idea of the whole proceeding is OF
course to avoid freight rates on the
milk. Some farmers here think the
scheme of the milk company is to SIM
ply dilute the cream when it gets to
Chicago for milk and sell it so, though
this is merely guess work.

THE FACTS.
Concerning Racine and Kenosha in L. A.
W. Election.

The Milwaukee Journal is the only
paper in that city which has given Ra-
cine and Kenosha anything like a fair
shake in the recent L. A. w. campaign
and election. Last night it contained
the following:
There was little interest taken in
the election and scarcely any cleo
pioneering was done by any of the can
didates. Milwaukee voters cut the
Racine and Kenosha men from their
ballots on account of a misleading arti-
Gle published by cycling paper of
this city, setting forth the theory that
if the representative from the above
named cities were elected, the 1913 meet
would be held in Racine and all of the
league members would be charged adj
mission and the constitution would be
changed to suit the southern Wiscon-
sin crowd.
The Recine Athletic association
has absolutely denied that it is out for
the 1913 meet and this was published in
the journal and other papers before
the voting began and on one or two
occasions since. There has been little
doubt that the next years meeting will
be held at Oshkosh or Green Bay
The meet belongs to the central or
norther section of the state and there
will be very little chance for q dark
horse, especially if it comes from south
of Oshkosh. The Green Bay boys
hung up the best inducements for the
meet during the last state meet at RAJ
cine and they have been wide-awake
ever since. The Oshkosh men have
invited the crowd there and have said
that if they couldn't get the 1913 meet,
they wanted the '99 meet. Milwaukee
members do not seem to care where
the state meet is held and in all proba-
bility they will divide their votes be-.
tween Green Bay and Oshkosh"

Free From
Rheumatism.

IF the people generally knew the true
cause of Rheumatism, there would be
mo such thing as 1iniments and lotions
for this painful and disabling disease.
The fact is, Rheumatism is disordered
state of the b1ood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood. But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma-
&ism, for it is an obstinate disease, one
which requires a real blood >1emeay-
something more than a mere tonic;
Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unable to cure Rheu-
nnatism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe are potash and
mercury, and though temporary rel1ef
may result, these remedies produce,
stiffness of joints and only intensity the
disease. Those who have had experience
with Rheumatismk know that it becomes
more severe each year.

The case of Mrs. James Kell, of OH
Ninth Street, S. E., Washington, D. c.,
should convince everyone that 1t is
wsaless to expect doctors to cure Rheu-
gnztjsu. Under recent date she writes !:
ga Jew months ago had an attack of
EcSs4ic Rheumatism in its worst form.
1r8e pain was so intense that my ner-
wous system was Frustrated, and was
for long time perfectly helpless. The
attack was an unusually severe one,
and nv condition was regarded as
being very dangerous.
ssI was attended by one of the most
able doctors of Washington City, who is
also A member of the faculty of the
heading college here. He told me to
continue his prescription and I would
get well. After having it refl1ed twelve
dimes and receiving not the least bene-
If. I declined to take it longer.
'sHaving heard SIS. (Swift's Spe-
nifcl recommended for Rheumatism,
I decided, almost in despair, to give
1t a trial. After taking a few bot
ties was able to- hobble around on
rrutches, and very soon had no need
at all for them, for S.S.S. cured me
sound and we'll. All the distressing
pains have left me, my appetite has
Teturned, and am happy to be again
restored to perfect health"

Sugar Trust Profits Cinchod.

The trusts have cinch on DiDgley
bill profits. OF course they will make
many times more if the bill becomes
law in anything like its present shape,
but they are already engaged in taking
part of their profits.
Sugar has risen considerably in antic-
ipation of greatly increased duties,
and merchants all over the country are
laying in stores because still higher
prices are expected. The Sugar trust is
consequently busy and rolling up profits.
In April it imported 757 ,7O9, 627 pounds
Of raw sugar, valued at $l4,747, 139. An
extra profit of ono-half cent per pound
OH this amount-which is already real
lied or guaranteed--means nearly ST.
900, 900 to the trust.
II tho hill is two months longer in its
passage, the trust will surely pocket
$40, 900, 600 extra profits before the bill
becomes law. Who says protection is
not good thing? And why shouldn't
Senator Aldrich push it along aud in
turn get his street railway syndicates
pushed along by tho Sugar trust? Isn't
this reciprocity? Wouldn't Aldrich be

bers Of the senate speculated in the Sc
orets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill
had been framed, and profted $50, 600

The trust may be right. 1t usually is,
