South Dakota Commissioner Will Com pel Officials to Make Sworn State ments of Educational Census that the Fund Apportionment May Be Made More EquitableNew Boad Incor porates at Pierre. Speoial to The Journal. Pierre, S. D. Dec. 7.Last year the state land department found a great deal of trouble in the enforcement of the provisions of chapter 64 of the laws of 1905. This law requires school officers to make sworn statements as to their returns of school census. In the past such return was made without oath, and with the state school fund apportioned on the number of school children returned, there was a strong temptation on the part of some of the officers to make the returns as glowiug as possible. When the reports began to come in it was found necessary to return many of them for sworn statements, and In some cases the report was returned several times before it was finally com pleted. To save a recurrence of this trouble, Land Commissioner Bach is sending a circular to county superintendents, calling their attention to this provision, and advising them to take up, the matter with their school officers at their winter meetings. By the time the apportionments for next year are made there will be another factor consid ered in chapter 158 of the 1803 session, which requires pupils attending ta different state schools to be excluded from the lists of the copritiesln which such schools are located, when the census for apportionment of the school fund Is made. -The intent of this is that when the state is paying for the education of pupils in state schools, such pupils are not entitled to a share of the general funds when distributed.' By listing them the. county in which such state school is located gets a double bene It,, and this is not considered just. New Boad Incorporates.

FARGO, N.

From March 14, 1900, to Sept. 30, 1905, there were eighty-nine new institutions organized in North Dakota with a total capital of $2,140,000.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized oountries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reaoh one year thirtyseven per cent, or more than one4hird, before they are five, and one-half before they arefifteenI We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would save a ma- jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use ofnarcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Oastoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see 'that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Oastoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever.

Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 7.The tariff commis sioners spent an entire day listening tbe ar guments of the farmers of Manitoba against an increase in protection to the manufacturing industries of the Dominion. The fanners claimed that the prices of agricultural implements were unreasonably high and asked for relief along that line. They quoted figures to show that Canadian manufacturers were driving Americans from the field^ This, they argued, tended to keep np prices and also resulted in inferior goods, as in many lines Canadian articles were not equal to the American product. -A strong plea was also entered against. putting duty on lumber as was advanced by British Columbia lumber men. They offered in return to forego any duty on agricultural products. Stephen BanBon of Neepawa presented a de tailed account of receipts and expenditures on the average Manitoba half section, In which he placed the yearly profit at $14. J.

BURDEN IS TOO GREAT Independence at Last Loses Its Street car Service. DUBUQUE, IOWA.The long-expected has come and Independence, Iowa, loses the dis tinction of being the smallest town in the country with a first-class' electric street rail way- system. It was a great convenience to the public, but for years it has been a question of time when the men who have been carrying the big financial load from a feeling of patriotism would have-to lay it down, and the cars are now a thing of the past. The street railw ay was but one of the at tempts made by Charlie Williams, the once-fa mous horseman, to make a city out of a town which was the birthplace of his three great horses. When Williams sold Axtell for some thing over $100,000, the largest price ever paid for a horse at that time, he started a boom for the town by building the street railway and electric light plant, a hotel and an operahouse. Of all the Williams property, including the fa mous kite-shaped track, turned over when he left Independence, the car line has been the greatest drag. I was constructed and put into service In 1S95 and has been operated ever since. For some time the present company has beeu working the line at a loss from, a sense of public pride.

The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." *^k Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb!, says: "Your Oastoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo- cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Oastoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: 'Tour Caatoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie- tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil- dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me:, says: "Oastoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infanta and children. In my opinion your Oastoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently_recommended your Oastoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe In the hands of parents and very ef- fective in relieving children's .'disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken .into: the human system for the same cleans ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the mora Jrugtakte ou of it the better it is not a a all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in,, the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves- the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of eatarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges they aro composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed wifh honey. The daily use of these Lozenges w91 soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better ion, sweeter5 breath and purecompletr blood and the beauty of it is that no pos sible harm can result from their con tinued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: I ad vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat I also Delieve the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but 25 cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart 'a Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.''
