r. ICKEY county is one of the lead
ing counties of North Dakota of
ILL which the state may well feel
proud. 1t is situated in the ex-
IRENE southern part of the state, Dor
deripg on the northern boundary line
of South Dakota and is the third coun-
tv west from the Minnesota line.
II is a beautiful undulating pralrle
country, watered by the James, Elm
and Maple rivers and their branches.
The county has long been known as
one of the leading counties for diversi-
fed farming in North Dakota, produc-
ing its share of wheat, oats, barley,
corn. flax, rye, potatoes and hay. Ihey
have in the county about 100000 acres
under cultivation, on which have been
grown enormous crops in recent years,
which is we'll attested by the prosper
Gus condition of a large majority oil
the farmers residing here. Strange to
saw. there are many thousands or acres
of vacant land in Dickey county which
can be purchased at extremely low flg-
ures. considering the productiveness
of the soil and the general surround
ipgs: and prospective homeseekers liV-
ing in the south and east should not
fail to investigate the land and Won
derful resources of this county before
buying elsewhere.
The soil is a rich, sandy loan, with
a deep clay subsoil very productive
and capable, under proper cultivation.

been fully demonstrated by such yields

CODE COST $79,O2I
Salaries of Revision Commits.
sioners Were Over 100000

The auditors office has paid the last
bill connected with the code revision
and finds that it cost the state just
$79.021.43 to get a new code. The re-
vision committee went into commission
in 1901 and has been working constant
ly ever since. When the office was
closed and the report made the other
day it was found that the assets of the
office We're $55, from the sale of type
writer and q dictionary.
The committee had an office in the
old capitol building, where the work
was done. The principal item of cost
to the state has been the salaries of
the commissioners. Postage, ledgers,
printing and other expenses, such as
clerks salaries, brings the amount up
TO the total. Following is a report of
the cost of the commission annually:
1901, $3,541.23; 1902, S14,37499; 1909
$22S53.19; 1904. $17,466.05 1905, $50,
1857; total, $79,021.43.
An instance of the expense may he
obtained from the cost of enrolling the
bill, which was S7S6.32, paid to Charles
w. Farnham. The largest individual
item, outside of salaries, was the cost
of printing, which amounted to $15,-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful II Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of IL the better; Ii is not a drug at
all. but simply abserbs the gases and inn
purities always present in the stoma CHI
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 improves
the complexion, 1t 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; il dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in SIN
arts Charcoal Lozenges; they are 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 mix
ed with honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
sweeter breath and purer blood. and the
beauty of II Is. that no possible harm
can result from their continued use. but
on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of, the
benefits of charcoal says: IT advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
Sunering from gas in stomach and bow
els. and to clear the complexion and puri-
~ the breath, mouth and throat; l also
believe the liver is greatly benefited by
the daily use of them: they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores
and although i'm some sense patent prep
aration. yet believe L get more and bet
