Pastor Promises Cure
to Addicts of Gossip,
Opens His Own Clinic
Dr. William Russell Owen de
clares one treatment enough. An
nouncement made to his congre
gation Sunday night.
Are you suffering with the gos
sip fever, or, have you been ex
posed to a little gossip germ ?
If so, here’s your chance to be
cured!
A gossip clinic—the latest addi
tion to the medical world —has
been opened up on Hunt alley in
the annex of the First Baptist
church. Dr. William Russell Owen,
pastor of the church, is the doc
tor, and he assures every patient
that one treatment will be a suf
ficiency.
‘Do you want to be cured of
the gossip disease?” he asked his
congregation Sunday evening
while preaching on gossip, or the
sin on insinuation. “Well, I can
certainly cure you. If you come
to my clinic, which I am going to
open this week, I will cure you so
that you will never want to gossip
again as lo :g as you live.
METHOD EMPLOYED
“Here’s my method: I’ll tell
you all the gossip I’ve heard about
you since I’ve been in this church
and when I’ve finished with you,
you will be through with gossip
ing. And I have heard a plenty
of things about every single one
of you. I 6ou!d begin right now
if I wanted to.”
Members of the congregation
looked at each other and grinned
sheepishly. Dr. Owen stroked his
chin and looked out over the con
gregation.
“If you don’t believe I know
plenty about you—just stand up,”
he challenged. “Well, if you don’t
want to hear it now,, just call
around at my clinic any time next
week and I’ll cure you.”
Dr. Owen denounced gossip as
the worse sin in the world. He
said* it was than murder,
worse than stealing, and worse
than audultery
SIN OF COLD CALCULATING HEAD
“If I stood before you I would
rather say mv brother was gulity
of gossip than of murder,” he said;
“but if I stood before God, I would
rather say my brother was guilty
of murder than of gossip. It is
worse than adultery, for adultery
is a sin of passion and weakness
of the flesh. Gossip is a sin of
the cold, calculating head.”
Dr. Owen had as his text, “His
Tongue Is Set on Fire by Hell,”
and he told incident after incident
where gossip had caused murder,
suicide and ruin.
He gave three tests which should
be applied to a story before it is
repeated: Is it True? Is it Need
ful? Is it Kind?
“And lastly.” Dr. Owen said,

The Turks Are Urged
To Take Two Wives
Constantinople, June 12. —“Tur-
key is no country for a bachelor.
The Nationalist Parliament has en
acted a law requiring all Turks
above 25 years to marry immedi
ately. The penalty is forfeiture of
a quarter of their income. The
men are also encouraged to marry
two women if possible. Govern
ment officials are summarily or
dered to get wedded or lose their
jobs.”
The Turks are very much re
duced in their man power for the
reason of frequent wars and hence
they are willing to furnish more
provender for the cannon by hav
ing their men to marry two or
more wives so that they might be
an additional force for their arm
ies which they are constantly us
ing.
The matter was suggested
among one of the most refined
nations of the east during the
world war, that their women be
allowed to marry more than one
man.
This shows what extremes that
nations go under the demoralizing
influence of war.
But the Turks are a nation not
of the first waters at any time of
(their existence.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA
Found Fifty Dollars.
We were a little surprised the
other day to find fifty dollars on
the road beside the hedge at the
corner of a prominent farmer’s
house, and more so to find that it
had lain for several weeks unmo
lested and was beginning to look
much worse for exposure. The
money was in the shape of a corn
planter, which will have to be re
placed by a new one before an
other season, unless cared for bet
ter. If we had the money that is
lost every year by neglect of farm
machinery, we would not be run
ning a newspaper.

Duffev, left home 'Saturday, May

this means to notify the people qf

No Heal Is Perfect
Without Good Meat
Relishing a meal puts a fellow in a good humor (the ladies are alwas that way.)
Without meat there is always a feeling of something lacking. And if you have
saved meat, and it is not of the best, the relish is not there.
The obvious thing, therefore, is to buy the BEST meat—meat that produces a
relish —that outs you in a good humor—that keeps you in the pink of condition.
Tne quality of the meat you eat is more important than the quantity.
It has QUALITY if bought from us.
