GIANT KENTUCKIAN TOO BIG
FOR UNITED STATES ARMY.
No Uniform Would Fit Dempsey Wren, Six
Feet Nine Inches Tall.
Dempsey G. Wren, of Kentucky,
almost wept when he was tobi at
the United States army recruiting
office yesterday that he was “too
big” to join the army. When he
entered the office he had to stoop
to get through the door, and Cap
tain Oliver H. Dockery. Jr., looked
up at the 6 feet 9 inches of what
proved on inspection to be perfect
physical manhood, in amazement.
Captain Dockery is just one foot
shorter.
Wren, reared on a Kentucky
farm, is 28 years old, and weighs
220 pounds. He is hard as nails,
and had set his heart on joining the
regular army.
Captain Dockery wired to Wash
ington for special permission to en
list him, but was refused. Then he
asked that he might be permitted
to sign the giant for mountain
batteries, the men of which have to
lift cannon to and from mule backs.
Again he was informed that the
army did not have a bed nor a uni
form ot capacity for the applicant.
Besides, he would destroy the
symmetery of any regiment. Wren
left without leaving his address,
saying he would go back to the
farm.
Is the World Growing Better?
Many things go to prove that it is.
The way thousands are trying to help
others is proof. Among them is Mrs.
W. W. Gould, of Pittsfield New Hamp
shire. Finding good health by taking
Electric Bitters, she now advises other
suffers, everywhere to take them. “For
ty years I suffered with stomach and
kidney trouble,’’ she writes. “Every
medicine I used failed till I took Elec
tric bitters. But this great remedy
helped me wonderfully.” They’ll help
any woman. They’re the best tonic
and finest liver and kidney remedy that’s
made. Try them. You’ll see. 50c at
M. C. Brown’s and Dr. J. B. George’s.
J. W. Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio,
purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy for his boy who had a
cold, and before the bottle was all used
the boy's cold was gone. Is that not
better than to pay a five dollar doctor’s
bill? For sale by all dealers.
A rich man in a Ohio town bought
three coffins at a sale during the
town’s centennia .elebration, a day
or two ago, when coffiins were sell
ing cheaply. He saw a bargain and
bought a nice coffin for himself.
Then he remembered his parents
and bought two more. No wonder
he’s rich.
Averts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice given Mrs. C. W. Wil
louhhby. of Marengo Wis , (R. No 1)
pieveuted a dreadful tragedy and saved
two lives. Doctors had said her fright
ful cough was a “consumption” cough
and could do little to help her. After
many remedies failed, her aunt urged
her to take Dr. Kings New Discovery.
“I have been using it for some time,”
she wrote, “and the awful cough has
almost gone. It also saved my little
boy when taken with a severe bronchial
trouble.” Tins matchless medicine
has no equal for throat and lung
troubles. Price 50c and SI.OO. Trial
bottle free. Guaranteed by M. C.
Brown and Dr. J. B George.
Deason Makes Improvements.
Mr. Freeman Deason has this week
•torn out his old “dope” fountain and
replaced it with a more up to-date fount.
He has also laid a new floor that adds
wonderfully to the appearance of his
place, and this is only two of the many
improvements that Mr. Deason is <roing
to make in the near future.

Welcome Words to Women
Women who suffer with <’borders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Fierce and receive free the
advice of a physician of over 40 years’ experience wy] I
—a skilled and successful pecialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter this sort has the most
careful consideration and is as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitive ’y mode t women write JS*.
fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink f-om Mg
telling to their local physician. The local physician *~ r i
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without “an examination.’’ Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need-',
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce’s treatment will cure "or right in the privacy of
your own home. His “ Favorite Prescription” has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases.
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There’s no secrecy. It will bear examina
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs ar_ found in it. Some unscrup
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Dcn’t take it. Don’t trifle
with your health. Write to World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R.
V. Pierce, President, buffalo, N. Y., —take the advice received and be well.
