Climbing Upward Again.

The consumption of water IN Amerl-
Gus is on the upward grade. Last year
it was, in round figures, fifteen million
gallons more than the previous year,
seven millions more than two years
before. But when the comparison goes
back further we find it less.
For some reason or other there was
tremendous jump IN the use of water
during the five years 1897-1901.
In 1896 the total used, again in round
figures, was 168, 100000. The next year
it jumped thirty million gallons. Then
in 1898 there was further advance to
POI, 900, 900 gallons.
In 1899 it dropped to 1875, 100000, in
1900 it was 1885, O00,0 900, aud in 1901 it
was a 1913, 900, 900. The following year
1902, brought a drop of thirty millions,
to 1853, 600, 900.
Why the consumption should fuctu-
ate in this way is not easily determined
The cost of supplying water per
thousand gallons was probably cheap
est in 1904, when it was but three and
eighty-three hundredths cents. AS a
rule it was run between four and five
cents, the cost of coal being a promi-
nent factor in determining the expenses
of the department.
There is apparently but small waste
of water in Americas. Compared with
some other towns OR rer capita con-
sumption of water is quite small.
We drink as much, we battle as
much, but we don't waste as much.
That's the reason.

WITH THE EDITORS
For Social Purity.


Social regeneration in this country
will be affected in a marked way as
the clergy and laity OF the Roman
Catholic church in their Federation or
Catholic societies discuss, pass upon
and act upon issues that have to do
with purity OF living. The numerical
strength OF the societies aligned and
the measure Of authority still abiding
with the clergy make action by such
a body important to reckon With,
the position taken or not. What could
be timIier than resolutions like these
passed at the recent meeting OF the
Wisconsin federation:
We strongly condemn the exposing
in public places and thoroughfares Of
such posters. pictures and advertise
ments as are immoral or suggestive OF
human depravity.
Resolved, Furthermore. that we be-
lieve in the work OF purifying and ele-
