preach upon the same theme as did

USING COLORADO MATERIAL.

The real estate exchange is right in
1 urging the use OF Colorado material
in building SO far as may be prac
ticable. Especially is this true respect
ing the use Of stone, for the deposits
of building stone constitute one Of our
local resources which ought to be de.
veloped to the fullest extent possible
For some reason the Development
of some OF these deposits has been
interfered with. aud the real estate
exchange will do well to make u
searching inquiry, so that If the mat
ter is one which may be corrected. the
public may be, informed.
Properly developed. some OF these
deposits would supply material for
shipment beyond the limits OF the
state and thus bring a revnue to our
people like that which comes from
the shipment of agricultural products
and precious metals. But In order
that this may be accomplished the
use OF such material In the construc-
Non OF Denver buildings should not
be interfered with by causes which
may be avoided.
In short time choice Will have to
be made OF stone to be used in erect
Ing the new federal building, and ev
cry effort should be put forth to show
that there Is variety from which 10
select. II is a reproach. like that o.
carrying Goals to Newcastle, to bring
outside material to Denver; but this
reproach will continue so long as the
deposits OF good building stone remain
undeveloped. and their development
VIII not come so long as local In
fiuences of any kind interfere with the

OF tuberculosis. which was held In

best OF its kind.
The constant tendency OF science In
regard to tuberculosis. as shown In
the proceedings OF this body, Is to-
ward simplicity. An increasing regard
is paid to hygiene and preventive treat
ment. There * less need of learned
and abstruse theories than there is of
an active and thorough dissemination
Of such facts as are already known to
the medical profession and even to
intelligent laymen. The ravages OF
this frightful plague. which are greater
than those of typhoid fever. diphtheria,
scarlet fever and several other dread

due almost entirely to ignorance and
