GrOcsr's Opportunity.

A golden opportunity exists for
some grocer in Clarksburg. says the
Tc'egram, and if he takes advan-
Hee Of II he will gain a large in
.f-tse in his patronage, assist in
pr'noting the objects ct the pure
tod laws and win the everlasting
praises Of his customers and friends.
THIS opportunity has to do with
the display Of fruits, vegetables and
other produce in receptscles on the
pavement in front OF grocery stores
and upon or near the floors inside.
The subject IS rather delicate one
70 handle IN the editorial columns
OF a newspaper, but The Telegram
believes IT'S readers viii understand.
without further application, the
motive that prompts these lines,
which is that Of emphasizing the
necessity OF protection against the
many impolite aud careless CANNES
that wander about the streets Of the
city and in the grocery stores.
The Telegram hopes that the en-
teTprsing grocer 10 the CITY Who
wants TO take advantage Of the
golden opportunity alluded 10 and
az the same time confer a lasting
benefit upon those who SIT al the
meal table three times a dsy, more
or less, will heed the suggestion and
reap the profit. This may be done
by the installation Of neat, water
proof receptacles for produce at the
necessary places.

NATURE
AND 4 W0MAN'S WORK
LYDIA Il. PINKHXM

Nature and n woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's Ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs OF the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world q remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, moro potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
OF other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that timo had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what 1 suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed It. and can truly say that
LydiA Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice TO-
stored health and strength. II is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

SCHOOL NEARING CLOSE
Summer Vacation Begins After An
other Week.
PREPARING FOR COMMENCEMENT
Bnt Two Graduates This Year-ln
Interesting Program Being Ar
ranged for Week.

Only oae more week remains b
fore the boys and girls OF Kingwood
will begin their summer vacation.
AS usual the different rooms will
give a program on the evening OF
the last day of school, May IS. All
the grades and the high school will
take part in the exercises, which
will be gwen at the armory. These
drills are made a part of the regular
school work and are very beneficial
in That they give excellent training
to the children along a line of work
which they cannot get IN the class
room. The program will begin at
1890, so that the children will not
get tired and sleepy before it is
over.
The regular graduating exercises
of the high school will begin Sunday
evening, May II, with the gradua
ting sermon by DR.. David Baron,
pastor of the FIRST Presbyterian
church at ElkIns and professor in
Davis Elkins College. The services
will be a, the Presbyterian church
at the regular hour for evening wor.
ship. Special music will be rendered
by the choir.
On Monday evening, May I8, the
graduating exercises proper will be
held at the armDry. The senior
class consists of Harold +. Hyde
and Kenneth +. Hanst Both have
completed the full three yeats
course offered in the high school
ard deserve much credit for having
stuck diligently to their work TIL the
end. DR.. G. ]. c. Bennett, formerly
professor IN Leland STAFFORD Uni
versity and now president OF the
Fairmon, Normal. will address the
class. Or. Bennett is a man of au-
thority in school matters. and is a
very forcefui speaker. You cannot
afford To miss hearing him.
On account OF the necessary ex-
penscs incurred In getting up these
programs it has been thought wise
by the board OF education to charge
the small admission fee of 10 cents.
| For fear, however, that some of the
patrons may think that these exer-
c,ses are for the public and not
especially for them, it has been de.
cided that they should receive a
special invitation which may be
presented at the door as a ticket.
II any money remains after all bills
have been paid, It viii be used in
The purchase al new books FIR the
school library.
a full report Of the progress of
the school tor the year will appear
little later. Many thanks are due
TO the patrons and friends of the
school for their faithful co operation
aid Ioyil support.
