ALL ARE THE MOST SANITARY Very ImpoiUnt lnded Is the care of the foodstuff In ftrstclass hotel lik the Fontenelle. For this reason the refrle. erstor and refrigerating system must be of the very latent and best construction and thoroughly efficient In tvery way. The foodstuffs are kept In refrigerators, but thee ixes and cooler are of a ver different type from thou In use In the ordinary dwelling. InKtead of Ice piled In the refrlceratnra and Retting- them dirty and maklnr a muii with Its continual melting and mak- In work for the employes in keeping them filled. there are here coolinc coll. through which circulates the aas thai re duces the temperature of the various re frigerators to the exact point that Is re quired for the particular thin that Is stored In each partlcu!ar refrigerator. The refrigerators Is located In the cellar and Is a bin engine that operates the re rrfrlgerstorlng machine that makes the heat-kllllng gun whl.'h circulates through the pipes and rolls. Here we have the astonishing spectacle of making l-e, or cold rs with hot steam. Made in Omaha. This machine is an Omaha product, mado by the Haker Ice- Machine company. It Is the very latest thing known to the world of engineering ns applied to refrig eration, the wmderful development which man's Inpenuljy has brought about In the making of summer heat Into winter cold. There la no system In the country that Is any better than this one Installed In the Kontentlle. The refrigerators themselves are of many shapes and sites and kinds; All are constructed cleverly and scientifically to keep the cold air Inside and the warm air outside. And each Is supp'led with, tha cold gaa colls in Just such amount as re quired for its work, some classes of food requiring a higher temperature than others. Needless to say. every one la thor oughly sanitary In every respect. Cork enters Isrgely In the construc tion of thtae "lee boxes" that have no lea In them. Cork Is Imported frcm Spain and Portugal, where It grows on the trees In the form of bark and In ground up and made Into cork board for this very pur pose. Cork jias the the peculiar quality of be ing a non-conductor of heat or cold In greater degree, perhaps, than any other substance. It is peculiarly fitted to keep the cold air In and the warm air out. That is why It Is used. GIANT HUMIDOR IS SIMILAR TO LARGE REFRIGERATOR A big, built-in arrangement that seems like a cross between a vault and a re frigerator Is one of the novelties of the Fontenelle. It Is a gigantic humidor for cigars. 1 ' GERMANS AND RUSSIANS IN FIGHT WITH FISTS (Correspondence of the Associated Press ' PETROORAD, Jan. IS.-German and Russian troops cam" to fisticuffs on tha Polish front recently, according to dis patches received here. A Russian aviator, having completed c reconnalsance over the German lines, wat returning to tha Russian position whe he found his supply of gasoline suddenly cut off by a German bullet, which had gone squarely through tha feed Pipe This forced him to plane down, and h had to land about half way between th opposing trenches.
