GET NEW KIDNEYS!

The kidneys are the most over.
worked organs Of the human body. and
when they fail in their work of filter
ing out and throwing off the poisons
developed in the system, things begin
to happen.
One Of the first warnings Is pain or
stiffness in the lower part of the back:
highly colored urine; loss OF appetite:
indigestion; irritation. or even stone in
the bladder. These symptoms indicate
q condition that may lead to that
dreaded and fatal malady, Brights
disease, for which there is said TO be
no cure.
You can almost certainly find imme-
date relief in GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
OH Capsules. For more than 200 years
this famous preparation has been an
unfailing remedy for all kidney, bIod
der and urinary troubles. Get II Mt

Is Richmond asleep-is Richmond
awake is Richmond SLOWS Richmond
up to the minute-is Richmond afraid
is Richmond brave?
Richmond is not dead-much alive is
Richmond-Piggly Wiggly knows that
She is alive alive with folks-with folks
not asleep-with folks that are humanity
aWake-that have human touch-that
have human smile-that have human
way.
Piggy Wiggly, being intensely
human, its idealistic conception of it's
obligations toward all humanity, can
sense in the atmosphere of this town
folks afraid? No! Brave? Yes!
Bravery consists not-only in acts such
as rescuing drowning man from a
storm wrestling match of the elements
With angry waves as they undertake to
tear to pieces the Would-be rescuer and
him who cries for help.
Being brave is also being that which
recognizes that habit can be brokenwhen
that habit is uneconomicallys sound
An uneconomical habit is allowing
others to do for one that which person
can best do for himself A habit such as
this breeds laziness, and no lazy man and
no lazy woman can be truly brave.
Of course, there has been no better
way different from which has been the
habit for years and years until right now
when PIGGY Wiggly offers better way.
PIGGY Wiggly came to this town to
save man-poWer.
Piggy Wiggly came to save money
for the housewives of this town that they
could more easily do the things they are
required to do in support of our soldiers
and the Allied armies "over there"
Piggly Wiggly came that cleanliness
with all food products could be the daily
portion of Piggy Wiggly patrons.
PIGGY Wiggly is orderly
PIGGY Wiggly Stores are operated
according to a definite plan and accord
ing to well-thought-out system.
Piggy Wiggly will not cash anybody's
checks, whether they be the checks of the
bank president Of the largest bank in this
town or whether it is small check of 2
man who has only two dollars as a bal
ance in the bank.
PIGGY Wiggly owns no delivery
equipment.
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1918-05-23

PIGGY Wiggly will not have anything
to do with anybody's delivery equipment
PIGGY Wiggly figures that everybody
surely can arrange with their own hands
and with their means Of travel way to
have carried home to their kitchens those
things that they must have for breakfast,
for luncheon, for dinner or for supper, if
you please.
Thousands and thousands of people
yesterday demonstrated their willing
ness to break up an old habit of theirs
and try the new Piggy Wiggly way.
If you didn't come to see Piggly Wig
gly yesterday and get carnaton, won't
you come to-day Or tomorrow or next
week and take a look at this wonderful
store?
You will not have to buy anything un-
less you see something that you want to
buy.
PIGGY Wiggly will be glad to just
have you come in and look ;
PIGGY Wiggly will not feel peeved or
put out IN the least if you don't happen to
buy something.
Bring your little girl with you-bring
your little boy-bring your mother and
your father.
Your friends, too, will be welcomed.
Each of you singly-all of you in bunch.
Why not get up Piggy Wiggly club
IN your neighborhood and have the mem
bers Of that club all come down together
and be initiated into the wonders and
seeming mysteries of this new kind of
store?
All of you will enjoy such trip of in
spection, and surely PIGGY Wiggly will
enjoy having you come.
Let PIGGY Wiggly be in your hearts
that place which you can call YOUR
VERY OWN STORE, where you can
come to at any time Of the day or come to
as many times in the day as you please,
and come to as many days and as many
weeks and as many months and as MANY
years as may be your desire, and having
come, know real we'll by the atmosphere
of the store itself that Piggy Wiggly be-
longs to you, because it was made for YOU.
PIGGY Wiggly is not a storekeeper's
store-it is the peoples store It is a
store for the rich-a store for the poor
1t is 2 store for those who are neither rich
nor poor-it is store for everybody.
Won't you come and look at that which
belongs to you-that which is your very
own?

Under the heading, What Are You
Going to Do About It?" the National
Security Leagues Congressional cam
paign committee makes public chart
giving the votes In the House of Rep
resentatfves on the eight principal
preparedness and war measures con-
sidered by the 64th and 65th Con
crosses.
The National Security League is in
no sense political organization be-
ing concerned alone with the secur-
tty of the nation with respect to
preparedness and war. Its members
are individuals in all political par
ties. Hon. Elihu Root (republican)
and Hon. Alton B. Parker demo
craft are honorary president and vice
president. respectively.
The eight record votes used in the
tabulation start with the McLemore
resolution and end with the Kahn
amendment to the consumption bill.
Charles d. Orth, chairman of the
Security Leagues committee, explains
that ante-war measures were selected
largely as result of the position TAX
en- by President Wilson in opposition
to the candidacy for reelection Of Con-
gresham Slayden of Texas, who
voted for the CONSUMPTION bill and the
declaration of war but had been con
voted against the Kahn amendment
eliminating the volunteer system from
the CONSUMPTION bill
These eight votes were selected by
the non-partisan National Security
League as proper to determine a
mans real attitude on preparedness
and war, because they were all de-
cided after the Lusitania was sunk.
The Eight Test Votes.
The eight measures used by the
Security Leagues committee in the
compilation of the chart are:
No. 1-McLemore resolution; Mar.
Z. 1916. This resolution was to the
effect that American citizens should
forego their natural, legal and con-
stitutional rights to travel on the high
seas.
No. 2-Kahn amendment to the Hay
army bill; March %, 1916. This
amendment sought to increase the
regular army to 17S,000 or more near
ly approaching the recommendations
OF the general staff of the army.
No. 3-Brandegee amendment to
the Hay-Chamberlain army bill; April
49, 1916 This amendment provided
for an army of 250.0O0 as against 14O.
0O0
No. 4-"Section Sc" providing for a
volunteer reserve army wholly under
Federal CONTROL April IS, 1916.
No. 5-Motion to re-commit naval
appropriation bill; June 2, 1916. This
motion was designed to secure an in
crease in the navy beyond what was
provided in the original bill.
No. Cooper amendment; March
l, 1917 This amendment was de-
signed to prohibit to American ships
their legal right to carry arms or
ammunition in their cargoes.
