THE POPULAR POTATO.
Il Il Regarded ~ Strange TAA1
Everybody Eats . Vegetable Of
4 50 Little NutPimont.

One of the best known physicians -
Worcester declares the potato fam.
inc q blessing in disguise, if people will
replace the potato with substitutes Of
greater food value. He thinks, as we
do, that there is none of the articles
of food in common use that contain 80
little nutriment as the potato, and
many others furnish more in smaller
amounts at much less relative cost. He
especially names shredded wheat, rice,
raw cabbage and fruits as more nour-
ishing than potatoes-and, in fact, all
grain foods. says the Boston Budget. ,
When the potato rot brought FAM
inc to Ireland the people of that coun-
try were not prepared to resist it, 40
they were probably at the lowest con-
dition, both mentally and physically,
that the people of that country ever
were, and thousands whose subsisk-
ence had been for years upon that
root persisted from famine; then
America sent them ship loads Of corn
and other provisions. and those who
could do 30 emigrated to this country,
where they found work and food. Now
there are those who are asking Ireland
TO ship VI all the potatoes they can
spare, not ~ charity, but in return
for such food products as we have in
abundance, or for our good money.

other day when an unusually loud
clap Of thunder, accompanied by .
binding fash of lightning and slight
trembling of the earth, occurred
shortly after four o'clock. At first it
was thought that the bolt had struck
q large building, but this was found to
be incorrect.
Later it was learned that q large
meteorite weighing nearly three tons
had fallen upon Chelsea Heights, al
most mile north of Columbia avenue
and across the Beach thoroughfare.
1t had fallen upon piece OF waste

of nearly ten feet in the soil. The

from space is somewhat irregular,
though resembling to slight degree
an egg fattened upon one side, with
. corresponding protuberance upon

ARRIVED AT HOT SPRINGS
MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE,
AND COST HIM $500.

Not in the history of specialism
have such remarkable cures been made
as are now being made by DR.. Rea.
People from all over the northwestern
country, continue to flock to his Offices
for his form of special treatment, all to
find always the same quick relief. DR..
Rea's visits throughout the northwest
have proven to be of great good to the
sick, and certainly he is deserving of
the full amount of patronage that he is
receiving. After having practiced his
speciality for the last IS years, travel
ing all over the United States and
coming in contact with the worst forms
of all chronic diseases, it is naturally
to be expected that he would know
bic to diagnose properly those forms of
the many peculiar ailments which the
suffering community are especially la
Bile.
A case particularly interesting which
comes to our notice, is that OF Martin
Johnson, Of Havana, N. Oak Mr.
Johnson was suffering from an affection
which puzzled the principal physicians
throughout the northwest and having
tried most of them without any relief,
was persuaded to go to Chicago, where
he could have the advantage OF the best
specialists and have every opportunity
to get we'll Acting on their advice,
he was taken to one of the principal
hospitals in that city, where he re-

go to Hot Springs, Ark, and there take
the baths which would be of benefit to
him. Arriving there more dead than

the principal doctors, taking the baths
regularly and the outdoor exercises
which were particularly advantageous
in the climatic conditions of that coun-
try, all to be of no relief to him, and
after an expense of $4,000 decided to
return home, expecting soon to die as
he had gradually grown worse until he
was then considered beyond all hope
of relief. Mr.. Johnson, seeing in some

SOCIALISM
=. VS..
ANARCHY.
T Chicago Daily Tribune.

All progressive movements suffer
from being misunderstood. Ordinary
vocabulary is barely adequate for the
expression of new ideas, and when the
ideas are translated back again by the
ordinary vocabulary in which men think
it is small wonder that imperfect, COM
prehension is the result. The prevailing
instance of this confusion in under
standing is the absurd confounding of
anarchism with Socialism.
Anarchism and Socialism are both
theories recognizing the present social
injustices, basing them upon economic
inequality and suggesting complete
changes in human relations for their
abolition. There the resemblance stops.
AS theories they start from opposite
bases, their arguments rest upon op-
posite premises, and their logic leads to
opposite conclusions.
The basis of anarchism is the impor-
lance of the individual, its premise is
that the individual must have the fullest
personal liberty to pursue his own i'm
pulses to attain his development, and its
logic leads inevitably to the pitting of
one mans will against the wishes of the
many. The basis of Socialism is the
solidarity of the interests of all men.
Its premise is that the development of
the individual is best attained by secur-
ing the welfare of the aggregate. Its
logic leads to the cooperation of all
men in securing whatever is needed for
the advancement of each one.
Anarchism may be induced by senti-
tiveness to the wrongs and injustices
arising from unfair industrial condi-
tons, with no comprehension of the way
out. Socialism, equally sensitive to the
injustices points way out through in
dustrial evolution.
An anarchist is a person of incom-
plete mental development; he is man
with fetich-namely; personal lib
erty impossible of attainment. He cor
responds to the man who persists in
working at perpetual motion, ignoring
the permanence of gravitation. A So
cialist is one who recognizes that his
personal liberty is curtailed when he en-
tiers into human relations; that these
relations grow more complex as society
advances, and that mans development is
promoted by this complexity
There are two important character
istics of society which have never be-
fore existed. One is that machinery
now enables us to produce all we need
In any quantity; the other is that the
things necessary to life and comfort are
made by men working together in large
numbers. Socialism would apply the
principle of sociality to the distribution
of necessities as we'll as to the making

hand and looking him squarely in the
face said, "Your trouble is confined to
your liver, stomach and bowels You
have been improperly treated, in fact
drugged almost to death, but with
proper treatment properly administered
and with the right care, you can yet be
made we'll man." Imagine the JOY
that must have entered that mans heart
from those few words, "You can be
made we'll man." 1t brought JOY to
his heart that can come only to a per-
son who has been standing on the
brink of the grave and snatched back
again. DR.. Rea wrote out a prescrip-
ton, handed it to him and said, "Give
this to my druggist. He will supply
to take for the coming month";
Two weeks from that day he was
working on his farm feeling most as
we'll as he ever did in my life. He is
indebted to DR.. Rea for his life and
says he shall never cease to praise him.
We have seen hundreds of others since
who have doctored with him and all
have found the same quick relief. We
have met many of his patients Some
of them come as far as 800 miles to see
him. DR.. Rea has his enemies as we'll
as his friends, but we want to say that
his enemies comprise only few and
they are the skeptics who would not
have faith in any one or have been
badly treated by others and know moth
ing at all of DR.. Rea, in fact that never
saw him or anyone whom he treated.
Some very remarkable cures that he
has made throughout the northwest
have come to our notice and we consid-
er DR.. Rea the greatest OF modern spe-
cialists. In the interest of the readers
Of this paper, we herewith publish,
with permission of Dr. Rea, the names
of some OF the most prominent cures
that he had made
Mrs. Lewis Beckel, London, Mimi,
cured of a bad cancer on the face
Cured in two treatments. She had a
number of other doctors.

of them. How can this application be
made? Only by the common or social
ownership of the machines and tools by
which these necessities are made and
distributed. In plain language, the peo-
| pie, through their government, must ac-
quire possession of the machines and
distribute the products according to the
work performed.
Anarchism reasons that, as social pro-
duction is resulting in so much injustice,
social ownership would result in more,
not seeing that the second condition
would correct the evils produced by the
| first.
Anarchism exaggerates the superiority
of the individual; Socialism acknowl-
edges the supremacy of society. Anar-
chism repudiates the existing organiza-
ton of society; Socialism recognizes its
inadequacy, but declares that all prog
ress must be made through such orgam-
cation. Anarchism declares that charac-
ter makes conditions; Socialism that
conditions make character. Anarchism
teaches that individuals mold society !;
Socialism that society molds individuals
and is responsible for them. Anarchism
holds that the rule of the majority is
usurpation of the rights of the minority :;
Socialism maintains that the rule of
minority would be a greater usurpa-
ton, and, as the majority will prevail,
hope lies in its enlightenment.
Anarchism asserts that the ballot is of
no avail, that legislation is tyranny !;
supreme weapon and that through legis-
lation can changes be best effected.
Anarchism inveighs against political ac-
ton; Socialism insists that only by the
independent political activity of the
workers can political power be secured.
and political power is necessary to es-
tablish the cooperative commonwealth.
Anarchism is retrogressive while
claiming to be radical; Socialism is rad
lcal because it is progressive Accord
ing to Piechanoff, "Anarchists serve the
cause of reaction in the name of moral
lty they approve the most immoral acts !;
IN the name of liberty they trample on
the rights of their fellows"
Socialists wish to extend the frnc-
tons OF government so that private and
public interests will be identical; they
would enlarge public institutions to meet
all wants; they would make public
schools SO perfect that none other would
be needed; public hospitals so complete
that the highest medical science could
ask for no better; transportation at cost,
that all might travel; education so ac-
cessible that none would be ignorant;
culture so general that all would feel
equal.
Can you conceive anything higher
than Socialists ideal? Its realization
does not need the starving or dwarfng
or killing of any one. Its Inauguration
depends upon the increase of general in
telligence. Sustaining the Socialist are
all the evolutionary forces of society.
His success alone will wipe out anar-
chism.

Of the Worst Defeated General
+. OF Modern Times. a

Gen. Oreste Baratieri, who died in
the Austrian Tyrol recently, at the age
of so years, achieved five years ago last
spring the distinction of being the
worst defeated general of modern
times, reports the New York Mail and
Express. He was the commander in
chief of the Inflated Italian Abyssin-
ian expedition. With an army of about
1000 men under him at the beginning
of the fighting Baratieri was utterly
routed, and the greater part of his
force killed or captured, by the brave
and mobile Shoans, who were fighting
for their independence. He had the
misfortune to escape to the coast HIM
self, and reached there under the i'm
putation of having abandoned his gen.
erals, Albertone and Dabormida, in q
cowardly manner. A military tri-
bunal of six generals acquitted him Of
criminal intention or penal response
bility, but they did not attempt to clear
him of the charge of tactical error, and
they deplored in their verdict the fact
that the command Of the Italian troops
had been "confided to an incompetent,
leader"
Baratieri, q native Of Austria, had
been one of Garibaldi's red-shirts,
with Crispi, and had been favored by
the powers that were. He was brave al
Marsala, and if he had died at AdowA
leading his men, as Dabormida did, he
might have saved his reputation, not
as a general, but as fighter. A. II

groans in the wicker chimney.
A cottage owning loom may always be
known by its unusual length. The loom fills
one end of the cottage. which is only one
story In height. Additional floor space for
spinning wheels makes a greatly increased
frontage necessary. This is done at the ex-
pense of proportion and gives the abode
squatty appearance that is deceiving. The
walls of the cottages are whitewashed a
couple of times each year and are remark
able for their cleanliness.
Crude Machinery.
The machines used in manufacturing the
homespuns are amazingly crude in appear
ance. They are very serviceable and en-
during. in spite of their lack of finished
workmanship. Looms are handed down
from one generation to another and the Sc
cret of the age of most of the spinning
wheels belongs to the workers of another
time. All the machines are permeated with
the odor of turf smoke, and the natural
color of the wood used in their construction
has long since been dyed black by the burnt
peat.
1t is astonishing with what accuracy these
century-old machines operate. On loom
similar to the one pictured above was woven
the Irish linen presented to Queen Victoria
on the occasion of her jubilee in 1887. The
linen was said to be the finest ever manu-
factured.
Predictions have been made to the effect
that the homespun industry will again
spread over the whole of Ireland. Little
surprise will be caused by this, at least to
those who have followed the growth of the
lace industry during the past few years. In
many districts it has been almost impossi-
Bile to engage servants on account of their
being busily employed working at the most
costly Irish lace and other kinds of fancy
needework. Schools have been established
at different centers of population for in
structiOn in lace work, and as many as fifty
pupils attend single seminaries daily. Spe-
cial sales of Irish homemade products have
been held with great success in London,
Dublin and Belfast.
