New York's Great Aeueduct.

practically all OF it's water from the
Croton and Bronx watersheds in West
chester and Putnam counties, and the
Ridgewood watershed in Nassau coun-
ty. each Of them already developed to
practically the economic limit, SO that
the draft on them has come to be in
excess of their safe yield during a
period of dry years. Very little addi-
tional water can be obtained from them
by the construction of additional
works. The cost would be large and
the relief from a possible water short
age only temporary. Forty-six mill
lions OF gallons more than the present
development OF three hundred and
thirty-six millions of gallons could be
secured, and the estimated cost neces-
sary to obtain this additional water
would be 100000, 900, whereas the esti-
mated cost Of not less than 500 900 900

CAMPAIGNING IN CHu1CAES.
Now that 1t is all over and the charge
cannot be made that its views are IN
f1uenced by political considerations. the
Register wishes to enter its protest
against the practice which was IN
dulged in to 50 great an extent during
the campaign just closed Of inviting
candidates to make religious addresses
in the churches Of the towns where
they happen to be spending Sunday.
Some of the gentlemen who were can
didates for important OFFICES at the late
election are sincere and genuine Chris
tians and at any other time than when
they are candidates for office their APP
pearance in any pulpit would be entire
" appropriate. But for them to enter
the pulpit when they are in the midst
of a strenuous campaign il exceedingly
inappropriate. 1t injuries them and it
hurts the church which invites them.
No matter how genuine may be their
Christianity and their wish to do good.
the candidates who preach" in some
church ON Sunday after campaigning
all the week will be accused by their
political opponents Of hypocrisy. and
the church which opens its doors
to them will be charged with
playing politics.'' The candidates may
gain q few votes but IN the long run
their influence will be weakened and
the good they might have done dimin-
ished.-Iola Register. sSAs'

saw a beautiful paper limousine draw,
up in front Of the paper dolls house.

rustling Of paper skirts, and out of
her house stepped the paper doll in a
beautiful gown of silk and lace.

was very near her.
All the little soldiers were on the
floor on their backs. The big doll house

was in her house. but he did not ask
Drusilla.
Instead. he said: What has hap

KEEP UP CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

The suggestion that no Christmas
presents be bought this year, and that
the money thus saved be sent to the
relief Of Europe's war victims, will
not make a popular appeal. as Les
lies suggests. Were no Christmas
purchases made this year it would by
no means follow that all. or a large
part, of the money SO saved would be
sent to the sufferers in Europe. The
laws of human nature are such that
if all Christmas givings were checked
it would tend to stop also the charity
which has for weeks been flowing to
Europe. The majority Of people
would reason that il they couldn't buy
presents for their children or friends
they could not afford to contribute
to relief funds. Do people realize.
too, what a business disturbance
would result il Christmas buying were
curtailed on a large scale? The
Christmas trade represents often the
yearly profits. II that trade were
suddenly and seriously curtailed it
would mean disaster for hundreds Of
stores and for many thousands of en-
ployees.
But this Christmas does give an op-
portunity for certain much-desired
reforms. Recent years have witnessed
a growing tendency to senseless CIV
ing. Many presents are made with
no thought other than paying a debt
or establishing q credit. There is no
better time than now to cut out such
commercialism. and to make all CIV
ing reflect the true Christmas spirit.
When we do this we shall have all
the customary joy of the season in
the home and in friendships circle.
We will be in the mood also to re-
member the suffering thousands
across the seas, and in our own land
the needy ones who will be in Tar
greater numbers this year than usual
