The D. M. Osgood store, a popular
shop on Main street opened its doors
ij this afternoon to the public for a forz.

creased stock added interest to tho
event which was one of the most at>e
tractive appointments.
The two rooms, the new one and the
one which the Osgood store has oc
cupied for a numper of years, have
ss been connected by a wld8 arch and
" both rooms aro decorated in the snme
le general color scheme. The new room
ln is devoted exclusively to the millinery
department while the old has been
a' given over entirely to garments. The
s' wood work is done entirely in buff
Ivory against a background of white
with black stripes, the entire effect
being at once pretty and artistic.
The Osgood company has gone to
unlimited pains to make today's event
a success. Invitations were Issued |
a several days ago to friends and pa
Irons and a general invitation to tin
public was extended through the new s- i
papers. Stylo books showing many ]

How To Be Rid of
Dangerous Dandruff
Tho only possible way to permanently
get rid u? dandruff?the sure
hair destroyer?is to remove the
causo. Shampooing merely cleanses
tho scalp lor a few days, then the
dandruff scales appear again as thick
as ever. It was Dr. Sangerbund, the
famous Purls specialist, who discovered
that dandruff and falling hair are
caused by a microbe. Then cume the
discovery of the value of genuine Parisian
sage (liquid form) to destroy the
dandruff germ and promptly prevent
the further loss of hair. Get from
your druggist four ounces of Parisian
sage, and rub a, small quantity well Into
the scalp, you will be amazed at
the result of even one'appllcation, for
your hair and scalp will look and feel
100 per cent better. Only a few applications
are needed to destroy the
germ that causes dandruff to form,
your scalp will immediately feel cool
and comfortable and your hair appear
soft, bright-looking and seem heavier
than it really is. Since Dr. Sangerbund's
discovery the American people
are realizing that dandruff is as unnecessary
as It Is dangerous, and that
they can he quickly rid of It and save
their hair by a few days' use of this
simple. Inexpensive -and harmless
treatment. He sure you get the genuine
Parisian sage (Glroux's), for this
is delicately perfumed, will not stain
the hair and is guaranteed. Mountain
City Drag Co. will supply you.

Plenty More Like This In Fairmont,
Scores of Fairmont people can tell
you about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many
a happy citizen makes a public state'
ment of his experience. Here is a case
of it. What better proof of merit can
be bad than such endorsement?
G. L. Mundell, 428 Adams St., Fairmont,
says: "My kidneys were always
weak and I had a dull ache across the
small of my back. When I did any
heavy lifting or any stooping, the
trouble was worse. My kidneys did
not act as they should. 1 got Doan's
Kidney Pills from Crane's Drug Store,
and they put my kidneys in good cond
tlon."
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply
