l.. M. Rodney, prominent civil engineer of
Denver, who has been connected with some
Government work In the Northwest is in the
city. In speaking of The material advancement
made by The city IN which be lives during the
past year in the face of formidable obstacles
Mr.. Rodney incidentally mentioned work of
philanthropy which is soon to be inaugurated
there through the generosity OF wealthy East
ern people. lt is an Institution for the benefit
OF those who ale suffering from lung troubles
or are threatened with the disease, where they
can live at comparatively trf1ing expense
under the best of medical ire tment amid pleas
ant and comfortable surroundings and in the
health-giying properties OF the mountain air.
The new home viii consist OF three build
ings, Mr. Rodney says, all separate, yet con.
nected by covered piazzas. One building Will
be used exclusively for men, another will be
devoted wholly 10 women, and the third Will be
given over 10 mother and son, husband and
wife or brother and sister as the case may b.
The Institution, Mir. Rodney says, will be the
property OF The bishop and chapter of the do
crsse OF Colorado and Will be conducted under
EpiscOpalian auspices the nurses and matrOns
being members of the sisterhood or deacon
eses OF the church. "Whlle the Institution
will be under EpiscOpallan control it must NOT
be supposed that it is intended solely for the
benefit of persons OF that religious belief" SAID
MI. Rodney. LAS L understand it the enter
prise will be conducted upon broad humani-
tartan lines, the purpose being to afford home
for persons OF little means who are sufferers
from lung trouble, at an expense but little, il
any, more Than IL would cost 10 live under
ordinary circumstances"

limited at the start, but its friends have great
hopes OF It's future capabilities. Briefly, lis
design Is to organize societies of credit through
which woEkingmen may purchase their land
and build their homes. The plan will be mod
eled after similar work which has long been
III ccessfully sustained in Belgium. The Gor-
rower'S lie Will be insured, so that In case of

will be paid for. He. however, Ii will be pro-
ylded. can have his choice Of paying for his
