All the Effectiveness, Not the Eff
feet of Calomef.

Liv-Ver-Lax is one of the most
important medical discoveries of re-
cent years. For a long time medi-
cal experts, realizing the harmful
effects of calomel, have been striv-
ing to find a liver cleanser that
would be just as effective as Gallo
mel, and yet be absolutely harmless
in its action. Recently this remedy
was actually put forth by L. K.
Grigsby, in his Liv-Ver-Lax.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vege-
table compound, designed solely for
the tratment of liver complaints.
The immediate favor it has met with
in thousands of homes is proof pos
tive of its real value.
If you feel worn out, tongue
coated, and skin salIow,don't delay
until it becomes dangerous, nip the
trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-
Lax.

signature and likeness of L. K.

.ROBS WOMAN
WHO FED HIM
LAST WINTER

Little tragedies OF life are almost
daily enacted In city police court. The
plots vary but the scenery never
shifts. Under the dim electric lights.
the actors tell their stories to the
Judge and prosecutor and the regular
morning police court crowd which
stands drinking IN with morbid curios-
ity the tales Of woe.
Ingratitude was the keynote Of the
case presented by a blue-eyed. limo
cent-faced youngster, 16 years old. who
was Cumming his way from Hamil-
ton, Ohio, where his mother lives to
Canada He gave his name as Frank
Frazee.
On cold night year ago. the boy
came to Richmond on one OF his
periodical trips from home and sought
shelter at the Kelley hotel. Miss Ruth
Bailey, housekeeper at the hotel took
pity on him and clothed and fed him,
giving him q nights lodging.
Yesterday Frazee came to town
again and while Miss Bailey was at
supper, entered the hotel and using
a skeleton key opened the door OF her
room and rifled the dresser drawers.
He secured check payable to her for
500 and other small articles. He tore
up the check later.
Previous to his visit to the hotel he
had entered the home Of Ray Holton
on North B streets using his
shelton key in the lock Of the rear
door, Here he stole a watch. fount-
ain pen, and miniature bank contain
ing 81 pennies.
After the thefts had been discover
ed, the police we're notified. A good
description of the boy had been OBJ
tanned and he was arrested by Patrol
man Bundy soon after he had left the
Kelley hotel as he was attempting to
board a freight train leaving Rich
mond. ,.
He showed no hesitancy In admit.
ting his guilt when he faced the police
this morning nor did he seem at all
penitent. He is regarded as an incor-
rigible by Chief Goodwin who has
written a letter to his mother telling
her the circumstances. The boy will
probably be sent to a reform school.

and cake Of resinol soap. These
are not at all expensive. With the
resinol soap and warm water battle
the affected parts thoroughly, until
they are free from crusts and the skin
is softened. Dry very gently, spread
on a thin layer of the resinol oint-
ment, and cover with light band

BLUE BooK READY SOON.
Many Matters of General Interest to
Badgers to be Included in the Book

In compliance with law, the Wiscon-
sin Blue Book for 1915 will be ready
for distribution within two weeks.
Copies will go to members Of the legis-
lature, newspaper editors, state officials,
various county, city and village officials,
schools and Libraries. M. T. Blumen-
field, state superintendent of public
property, is designated by law as off
cial book agent for the states biennial
publication. He will receive cash or
ders for the book at the capitol but
will send out no canvasseTs.
The 1915 Blue Book differs from its
predecessors in important particulars.
1t does not duplicate a mass of data
contained in other reports, It's editors
sought to make the 1915 book a valu-
able manual for persons desiring in
formation about the government Of Wis
consin, the state S resources, etc The
book contains a little over 500 pages.
The first 100 pages are devoted entirely
to descriptions of the state s industries,
its agriculture, mining, transportation,
census statistics, etc. Probably the
most valuable of the new departures is
a. section giving, the, functions Of each
department Of the state government to-
gether with the names and salaries of
the officials, their addresses and expir-
alton of terms of Office For the con
venience Of those who are accustomed
to finding the state and federal con
stitutions in the Blue Bookv these docu-
ments are again included.
Pictures and biographical sketches of
members Of the legislature again form a
feature of the book. The longest auto
biography is that of Assemblyman
John Helm of Madison. One member
of the legislature refused to furnish
his photograph. He is Assemblyman
Robert B. Dickie Of North Freedom,
former principal of the Kenosha high
school, now of Sank county. 1915 Blue
Book contains an adequate index.

ZION NEEDS THE MONEY.
Cops There Pick up Eleven with ssOpen
Mufflers'' Early Sunday Morning.

Zion City needs the money and ac-
cording to stories told by Kenosha auto
mobile drivers who have occasion to
drive through the city the cops,
there are getting it. It is declared that
before nine o clock Sunday morning
the police officers at Zion City had ar
rested eleven people charged with driv-
ing with "open muf1ers'' on the
streets of Zion City. Two Of them were
from Kenosha and protests amounted to
nothing. One of the Kenosha men de-
clared that it would have been impos-
sible for him to have driven his car
with the muller open but two witnesses
were on hand to swear that the muf
fer was open. A deposit of six dollars
was demanded of each man arrested
and the money so deposited was con-
fscated when the men failed to appear
today. It is possible that one of the
Kenosha men will later bring an action
for false arrest.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-07-08

Association has just sent broadcast
over the country an article calling at
tention to Kenosha and pointing to this
city as a model for other cities in the
state and nation. 1t is the biggest
piece of advertising given to Kenosha
in many day and it is along the right
lines. The article reads as follows:
"The city Of Kenosha has cut its
death rate in half during the last two
years. In 1912 there were IA people
dying for every 1000 of population, a
total Of 333 deaths. In 1914, with an
increase in population of from 24,5o0
to $4,000, the total number of deaths
was 202, seven deaths for each 1000
of population. Had the rate of 1912
continued, the deaths in 1913 would
have totaled 364 instead of 247 and
those Of 1914 would have been 4o6
instead Of 202
The story Of this saving of 321 lives
in two years and the manner in which
the steady rise in the city's death curve
was checked is revealed graphically by
the following table Of vital statistics
for the last seven years:
