The Bach Flue Is the Bach
bone of a Range.
No Range CanLast Longer Than ts Back-flue
^ et the back-flue is the catchall of a range. There concentrates j
soot and acids and salts and moisture and everything that goes
through a range. True, you seldom or never see the back-flue of a
range—but when it rusts out the range is done for.
Some ranges don’t last aslong as its back-flue, but when the
sweaty asbestos was clad with copper to stop inside rust the Cop
per-Clad Range lasted so long that a better back-flue became ne
cessary. Nothing is too good for a Copper-Clad so a solid one-piece
malleable back-flue was provided—the first ever put on a range—
and the only one. It can’t crack, break, nor rust.
The Copper-Clad Range is as pretty as a picture and cleans
like a dish. ' »

The Alabama Minstrels owned by
white people. All the performers,
however, are colored folks. Charles
Wallace, Seymour James, Will Moore
and Kid Kelly, the end men of the
show are especially good in their re
spective parts, as are also Perry and
Hines, contortionists, jugglers and
fire eaters. A feature of the show
which attracted as much attention as
any other, was the dancing of Moore
and James. In the closing act of the
show several scenes from Southland
are staged. These scenes are very
attractive and impressive and well
merited the hearty applause that they
received. Other features of the show
were the street parade and the music
rendered by the band orchestra.
Altogether the show is a good one,
high class in every particular, and
enjoyable in the extreme. Newport,
