When a ST. Regis 1odger pays SIPS
a day for apartments in the most ex-
pensive hosiery that New York ever
had, he or she purchases not only
those pieces de resistance for which
the artistic and culinary frontiers of
TWO hemispheres have been ram
sacked, but also the privilege of
breathing air that has been filtered
and prepared just as carefully as are
the hundred and one other luxuries
awaiting those who can afford to pay
for them. ST. Regis air is Simon Pure
every cubic foot of it-being filtered
of a barrel of dust a day.
By reason of its remarkable system
of air filtration-if for no other reason
the new hotel occupies about the
softest place imaginable in the lap of
luxury. All its patrons are insured
absolutely against breathing contain
mated air or air in the viewleSs
jungIes of which crouches the omni-
present microbe. No other public or
private structure in this city or coun-
try is equipped with such extensive
and remarkable air filters as the new
Fifth Avenue temple of luxury.
On the lip of every visitor, in the
endless pilgrimages being made to
the new shrine of the millionaire, is
the question: How is the twenty
story building ventilated? This ques-
ton is natural because no one ever

Man Who Was to Do the Worrying.
Representative Dresser of Bradford,

week or two ago he went up home to
look over the factory, and while he

the oil districts asked to see him.
What is it, Jim?" Representative
Dresser asked.

lighted by electricity and walled on
one side by a queer arrangement OF
cheese cloth shutters, each shaped
like the letter v. Walling the other
side of the compartment was a sys-
tenn of radiator coils, twenty deep,
with narrow interstcces through which
gales of ice-cold air were blowing
from the V-shaped shutters. Passing
on through another door, the heating
room was revealed. Here were long
rows of parallel troughs filled with
boiling water, from which the steam
arose steadily as from a singing fire
place kettle.
Engineer Jurgensen explained:
when the air is first drawn into the
building and subjected to a prelimi-
nary altering, it is, of course, of the
same temperature as the open atmOs-
phere. Having passed through the first
filter, it is cooled and blown between
the heated coils and thence into this
steam room. Here it acquires-or,
rather, reacquires-the humidity or
moisture which was filtered out stimuli
taneously with the dust microbes, and
other foreign particles. To that ex-
tent the air is artificial, but as the
most necessary ingredient of air is
oxygen and a certain humidity, we be-
lieve that our guests breathe the best
air that it is possible to furnish in
New York"
By special permission a sample of
the dust gathered from the ST. Regis
filters and spread thinly on a plate
four inches in diameter has been SUBJ
jected to a chemical and microscopic
analysis by the Department of Health
This is what the St. Regis guest
escapes when he breathes in an at
mosphere that has been specially
combed, washed and dried: Five bac-
terra germs, of which three were COM
mon bacteria; one an incipient tu-
bercle bacillus, and one a common in
f1uenza germ; three-quarters carbon,
and several metallic and vegetable

visible to the naked eye.-New York
Times.

open doors-in the ST. Regis. From
one end of the year to the other it's
windows will remain closed-if the
new air filters prove successful.
Their success thus far is attested
by the statement of Chief Engineer J.
c. Jurgensen that nearly a barrel of
dust had been filtered daily from the
air since the hotel was opened some
seven weeks ago.
According to Chief Engineer Jur-
geEsen, during the forty-odd days that
the filters have been in operation ex-
actly thirty-three and a fraction bar
rels of dust have been combed, so to
say, out of approximately one hundred
million cubic feet of air as inhaled
and exhaled by the hotel during it's
brief existence of less than two
months.
A barrel of dust a day! Startling
as this is as a first impression, it be-
comes more so when it is considered
that the air in the region around
Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fifth street
the millionaire sections many
times cleaner, and hence healthier,
than the atmosphere in other and
more densely populated sections in
the metropolis. Yet in their ambition
to put the st. Regis in a class by
itself as a lily white inn Col. John
Jacob Aston, the owner, and Manager
Ham decided to spend $500, 900 on air
filters. Their dream was to make it
the most sanitary as well as luxurious
hotel in existence, and apparently the
dream has come to pass.
Behind it and its fulfillment is an
interesting and intricate story written
in machinery, dynamos, air screens,
wonderful radiators which heat or
cool the air as the need may be, in
conjunction with immense troughs of
boiling water to revivify the vitiated

JUNGLE Isaac's Matchmaking

er, she said''
WELL" said Aunt Nancy, that's
real good of Marietty. Therell be
quite a lot of work fixin' the vege-
tables an such, an 1 guess she can
help me quite a little. I'm real glad
she's comm, poor soul!''
The next morning when Uncle
Isaac, in his Sunday clothes, came
into the kitchen and lifted his chin
high so Aunt Nancy could adjust his
collar button and necktie, the dear
old lady said: IF 1 was you, Pa, Id
look all over the meetin' house an
pick out the onesomest-lookin' per-
son there-anybody you think amt
invited nowhere to Thanksgivin' din
ner-an' ask 'em to come along home
with you
Anybody asked Uncle Isaac.
Did you say anybody, Nancy?"
Aunt Nancy started swiftly toward
the oven door. Land sakes! 1 be-
lieve that turkeys boilin' dry" she
said, as she opened the oven door
with a clang and poured hot water
into the sizzling roasting pan. Her
rosy face peered into the big, savory-
smelling oven.
Yes she said, TASK anybody you
think looks lonesome"
Uncle Isaac drove off to meeting
with merry jingling of sleigh bells.
He chuckled to himself as he drove
along. Il shouldn't wonder if Silas
Plummer would be lookin' kind of
lonesome to-day" he said. Great
guns, Who'd ever think I'd take to
matchmakin' at my time o. life?'
When the Thanksgiving sermon
had been preached and the last hymn
sung, the congregation moved toward
the doors. Silas Plummer buttoned
his overcoat and prepared to go his
lonely way. But Uncle Isaac, unhitch-
ing the old white horse. called to him.
Hold on, Silas," he said, don't
you want to ride along with me? An,
say, by the way. Nancy said she'd like
first-rate to have you eat Thanks
givin' dinner with u.s.
Siias Plummer hesitated-and was
lost. Much obliged, Uncle Isaac"
he said; you and Aunt Nancy are
very kind, but 1 was calculatin' on
goin' to the restaurant for my din
ner"
Restaurant nothin'i" cried Uncle
Isaac, jovially. Come, pile in here
an We'll be goin'. NancyU be jest
tickled to DEATH"
But privately Uncle Isaac wasn't
so sure of that. "Merciful Mosesi" he
thought, "mebby I've gone an put my
foot in it. But Wen wait an see
how it turns out If Nancy scolds,
I'll tell her the poor fellow looked
lonesome, an sure enough he did,
The cutter stopped at the side door
with a jingle of bells. Aunt Nancy
came to the window and looked out
"Of all thingsi" she said to herself,
what in the world possessed Pa to
go an do that My land! what shall
1 do? Here's Marietty an there's
Silas, an they won't speak, know
they WON'T"

up nicer'n that one, 1 tell you, Pa,
it's too good for jest you an me to
set down to. Hadn't we ought to in
vite somebody to help eat Thanksgiv-
in dinner?" Aunt Nancy paused in
her task of stripping the feathers
from the turkey in question, and
beamed placidly upon Uncle Isaac
through her gold-bowed "specs."
Uncle Isaac Winters rubbed his
hands together gleefully, and genial
smile overspread his face. Jest like
you, Nancy, to think about somebody
sharin' your blessin's. To be sure, to
be sure, have somebody in to help dis
pose of that Teller Who'll you in

We'll" said Aunt Nancy, reflective
", I've notion to ask Variety Pea

village that would enjoy a nice piece

when she give Silas Plummer the nit
ten the way she did years ago. l wish
she was married an settled down in
a home of her own. Silas would be
a good provider an Marietty she's a
neat housekeeper-neat as wax-an'
seems to me they could be real happy
together
Uncle Isaac sat down on the edge
of the wood box and looked at Aunt
Nancy's kind old face. "'S'pose we try
an make a match betwixt EN-" he
suggested. Its high time that old
spat of their'n was cleared up. Let's
see-it's as much as ten year, amt
it, since they quit speakin' to each
other? 1 say let's ask 'em both here
to dinner tomorrow an see how it'll
turn out
Aunt Nancy stared at him in amaze
ment. Isaac Winters" she said be
sou clean gone crazy? Why, the very
idee! A pretty Thanksgivin' it would
be, wouldn't it, with them two glar-
In at each other an never sayin' a

pacify 'em at this late day.
WELL said Uncle Isaac, meekly,
"you know best Nancy! you always
know best. thought mebby it would
work all right, but that's all a fool
man knows about sech things. Think
I'd best hitch up an drive down to
invite Marietty? Jest as soon if you
want should"
Aunt Nancy turned the big turkey
over laboriously. why, yes, Pa" she
said, you better go. Give Marietty
my compliments an ask her to spend
Thanksgivin' with us. If she's goin'
to meetin' tomorrow she'll likely ride
home with you in the cutter
When Uncle Isaac returned, an
hour later, he remarked: Variety

thing to wear-an' she'd come over
