YOUR PROBLEMS
By II. Addington Bruce

TEW people appreciate how many and va
II ried are their personal problems. Asked
a to list these, most would be content to
set down such problems as:
Keeping well.
Earning living.
Securing good education for their children.
Amusing themselves in their leisure hours.
Living a good life, according to the die
tates of their conscience and the laws Of the
land. >
This would about exhaust the list of per-
Sonal problems, as recognized by the great
majority. Exceptional are those who would
extend it, as all should, to include such prob
lens as:
Securing an efficient government
Keeping public officials alert to their duties
lnsuring justice and honesty in the admin
iStration of laws.
. Insisting on measures that Will prOmOte
Public health.
Opposing measures that tend to national
disharmony by comforting class privileges, max
Ing class determinations etc.
Maintaining peace and prosperity through
good will and fair play in international rela-
TONS ~....
Blocking all attempts to exploit the ignor-
ant and the unfortunate, and lessening the
numbers of these by cooperating to make pub
lie education more effective.
1t is because most people fail to recognize
in every one of the above a distinctly per
sonal problem that every one of them remains
an urgent public problem. Yet each is as truly
personal problem as the earning of living
or keeping we'll.
Indeed, the latter problems are intimately
and indissoubly linked with the former.
Governmental lnefficiency makes 1t harder
for the individual to earn living, and at
times may make it impossible for many in
dividuals to earn a living. Individual health
necessarily suffers when due regard is not
paid to public health
Glass discrimination means social turmoil
and social turmoil inevitably reacts to the hurt
of all individual citizens. Criminals are made
through exploitation of the ignorant and the
unfortunate, and as criminals multiply the vel
fare of every citizen is endangered.
And everybody knows what happens to the
individual when war results from any narrowly
selfish policy that lessons goodwill and strains
the relations of nation with nation.
No; it will not do to consider these as
other than personal problems. 1t will not dc
to 60, day after day, giving them not the
slightest thought They concern every citizen
and it is every citizens duty, if only for his
own good, 10 study them as earnestly as he
studies what he calls his "private affairs"
Else his "priyate affairs" will themselves be
studied to comparatively little purpose, as he
suffers from antoward public conditions which
he has left entirely to others to manage OF
mismanage according to the state of their in
telligence and of their hearts.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
THE TIE THAT BINDS
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

Every time we go to big church
tenor voice sings blessed Be the Tie
That Binds" and we look at the
radiant bride and groom, and swal
low hard at the Jumps in our throtes,
and hope to goodness that the knot
will hold this time, and it won't be
one of the one-out- of-twelve snarls
that the divorce courts are called
upon to untangle every year in this
country,
And it sends US home wondering
what is this tie that binds a man
and woman together so that they
are really, one.
Men think that it is made of beau
ty. A man believes that he will
love a woman, and be faithful to
her in thought and deed, as long as
she is easy on the eyes. His fancy Is
shared by a pretty face and a
lissome' figure, and he is convinced
that he will never weary of them.
more enduring joy than just the con-
temptation Of that peaches and cream
complexion, those golden curls and
that straight-front figure.
Very often he married the object
Of his admiration only to find that
the tie that binds him to it is made
of pack thread. He comes to know
y
alone, that a woman may be liv-
ing picture and the dullest and most
boring of companions, and that the
whitest and softest skin may cover
the blacklist selfishness, and the
hardest heart.
No woman who has merely physi-
cal prettiness to recommend her ever
holds a man even until her good looks
vanish, and that is a catastrophe that
is bound to happen in a short time,
at best. AS we'll might you seek to
anchor an ocean liner in a storm,
with gay silken thread as to try
to bind a man to woman with Just
beauty alone.
Women think that the tie that
binds is made of romantic love- They
put their faith in palpatations and
thrills. If a girl sees man through
pink haze of sentiment that dis
guises him so effectually that he
looks like a little tin god to her: If
she has chil1s and fevers and hectic
ders where mother keeps the rough
on rats every time she suspicious
that he has taken another girl to
the movies, she is convinced, beyond
the shadow of doubt, that she en-
tertatns a passion for him that moth
ing can dim, and that the years will
only make stronger.
Alas, no other dangerous malady
is so easily cured as romantic love.
1t yields to simple home treatment
self-administered, in from thirty to
sixty days. Sometimes sooner The

balance OF her life listening to her

love, finds out that he mostly dis
courses about bills, and the high
cost of living, and how different his
mothers biscuits are from hers.
Instead of barbered and powder
ed and perfumed lover, she has a
husband who is unshaven and un-
shorn, and grumpy and grouchy at
times, and noting these things, ro-
mantle love flies out of the window,
and unless the tie that binds her to
the man she has chosen is stronger
than imentality-unless it is
made up of some quality more en-
during than looks and soft speeches
why thu woman packs her trunk
and goes back to mother, or begins
to look about for some other man
about whom she can cast the mantle
of her fancies.
Convention says that the tie that
binds man and a woman together
is made up Of the law and the church.
Wrong again. You may tie a man
and a woman's bodies together and
force them to live under they same
roof, but no human agency can fet-
ter soul or constrain it. Nor does
the reading of marriage ceremony
over a couple, or the mumbling of
priest, make a man and woman
husband and wife in the real sense
of that relationship.
We all know husbands and wives
whose marriage bond clanks as they
and chain of convicts fettered to-
gether. We all know lonely men and
women who live out dreary lives with
wives and husbands who sit across
the table from them in flesh. but
are millions of leagues away. from
them in spirit.
The tie that binds is not even
duty. That holds outwardly with
many conscientious people, especial
~ when there are children to be con-
sidered. but 1t is a fetter that cuts
into the marrow Of ones being and
that makes a tester that poisons
whole of life. 1t is not what we
mean when we sing, 'Blest Be the
Tie That Binds" at wedding.
The tie that binds, that hardens
and hardens as the. years go by until
1t becomes like a bond of steel that
nothing, can break, is made up Of
sympathy, and understanding, and
beauty go, romantic love may perish,
hardship, and sickness, and anxiety.
and poverty may be portion of the
man and woman who have undertaken
the journey of life together.
1t does not matter. They will Dull
through safely If they are bound to-
gether with bond whose strands ara
made of companionship, and trusted
and tried loyalty, and a comprehen-
sion that never fails.
That is the tie that binds. That
1s the tie that every man and woman
should set their hands to weaving
on their wedding day.

PEANUTS
By Dr.: Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
sing the Peanut.
1t tastes good. 80
1t Is easy to raise.
It is cheap. H.,
1t is nutritious.
It is a substitute not only for cheese and
meat. but for butter and other fats.
The Peanut, of cool clmes, together with
the Cocoanut, Of warm zones, could come
nearer feeding mankind than all cattle, yea
all sheep and swine.
The Peanut, permit me to bludgeon you
with the club of science, contains per pound
more protein than a pound Of sirloin steak,
plus more carbohydrates than a pound of po-
tatoes, plus one-third as much fat as pound
of butter. Bring on your foodstuff that can
beat that!
While you pay seventy cents a pound for
your roast beef to the bandit who hides be-
hind the counter at the delicatessen shop, and
anywhere up to thirty million dollars cut
for the same at the gilded den OF thieves
where they take your money away from you
to music, you can get sack Of Peanuts for
five cents from the street peddler.
The Peanut keeps well in any climate, and
is good eating when the steak has spoiled,
the potatoes are rotted, and the butter is
rancid. -.-, g.. t'
Every Peanut is Theoretically sealed in Ma
lures own sanitary, dust-proof, automatic
covering, and you can crack it with your fin
gers.
The Peanut can be taken directly, without
feeding it to animals and getting your nutri-
ment by eating flesh and drinking blood.
The Peanut crop has grown faster than any
crop in the worlds history. In 1910 there
were 900 acres in Peanuts in the United
States; watch it grow; in 1915 the acreage
was estimated at 100000, in 1917 more
than 100000 acres.
Yield per acre is about thirty-four bushels
Of nuts in the she'll; a good yield is sixty
bushels, including ton of good hay.
A bushel of Peanuts yields gallon of Oil.
An<acre Of land can produce twenty bush
els of wheat forty bushels Of oats or forty
bushels Of Peanuts; that is, one hundred and
eighty-six pounds of digestible protein in the
Peanuts, as against one hundred and forty
nine in the oats or one hundred and fifty
four in wheat. In fats it will yield three hun
dred pounds, while from the oats sixty-one
and from the wheat but twenty-four pounds.
The United States Department Of Agricul-
ture urges the use Of Peanut meal mixed
with corn meal and wheat flour, for griddle
cakes, biscuits and mullins; also it's use as a
cereal and in cakes buildings and soups, and
as a substitute for meat.
Cotton is king, said the South. And Corn
is king, answered. the North. But the day
of kings Is passing.
And perhaps the lowly Peanut five cents a
bag, is going to do it's part in making the
world safe for democracy.
