Thoughts on Furnace Management

start out right. with the proper fuel
adapted to your furnace.
A furnace to work satisfactorily must be
kept clean. In burning any kind OF fuel
the following suggestions will be valuable.
Never open the feed door until you are
sure the back check damper is closed and
II a direct draft damper IL used see that
It Is open or upright and be sure that the
ash pit door is closed. When you open
ths feed door do not open It with a quick
Jerk; II you do the accumulation OF gas

and you may in a few moments hear a
gentle call from upstairs asking what YOU
are doing. To avoid this open the feed
door IN inch or 80, allowing the current
OF air or draft TO curry off the products
OF combustion to the rear OF the furnace
and up the chimney. Care should be used
In putting In fresh coal. In filling up the
fire chamber put fresh coal In front and
gradually I'm Il up to back. II soft coal ls
used fill It up only from center and keep
fresh fire burning around the outside Of

Proof is cumulative that Commence
ment Days is one of the seasons sue
cesses, many of the critics writing in
the most approving vein of its merits,
while reporting audiences of capacity
size. That something new, which
the public ever demands. seems in this
play to have been supplied in liberal
measure. Mr.. COrt has given it the
advantage of a strong company and
an expensive scenic environment. The
original company numbering 30 people,
headed by Frederick V. Bowers, the
celebrated singer. comedian and song
writer, will be seen in this city.

crowd from first to last. His mono

song he sings, ending up the chorus
with an inimitable ROSTERS crow,

dialogue is full of brilliant repartee,
and their songs are the kind that

feet
Altogether the three numbers make
up one of the most pleasing bills that

music lovers to listen to voices such
as carried out the several lnterpre-
