CHRISTMAS WARNING.
The. following letter has been re-
ceived by Fire Chief Parkefrom the -
Underwriters' Association, which
contains much timely advice about
t the danger of lire: from Christmas'
cleceeations,
'Dear Sit —hollowing uur tjsual
custom at .this season of the year, I
beg to draw your attention to the
.danger to life and property from
Christmas, decorations, such as drap-
eries, scenery, cotton to represent
snow, etc. Displays of this nature,`
and the lighting arrangements in con-
nection therewith, add very consid
erablyeto ordinary, fire risks:
'I {would also point out that should
an accident of 'the'knnd occur ,in a
crowded store or meeting, the rapid
spread of fire in such infi'ammable
material is almost, certain to occasion
-
a panic with attendant risks to life
and limb. the National Fire Pro-
tection Association' and the Ontario
Fire Marshal recommend that all
fabrics for decoration pueposes-
s'hould be immersed, in a solution of
Commercial Ammonium 'Phosphate
in the proportion of one pound of
phosphate to one gallon of 'water. If
thein slightly wrung and dried they
will offer considerable resistance to.
fire until again washed.
"If this is not practicable, a few
simple precautions may reduce the
danger to a 'minimum, and these
should be
cois
tiered essential wheee
large numbers of people land par-
ticularly children are to be gathered.
See that inflammable material is
clear and not hung over heating and
lighting devices, steampipes, stove-
pipes, electric light bulbs, etc.
See that your electrical circuits
nre propertly fused and not overload-
ed by the addition of temporary
lights.
Examine your fire extinguishing
-appliances and see that they are
sufficient, in good order and, readily
accessible,
Sec that all exits are plainly mark-
ed and not obstructed.
Remember that nothing can render
these displays absolutely safe, and.
that if amcdents are not to mar the
festive season, constant vigilance and
care must be exercised.—Your, truly,
John A. Robertson, Secretary,
Christ- ns

The Bazaar under the auspices of
the Girls' Mission Band, held recent-
ly at the manse, was quite a success
financially and socially.
Those who attended the Young
People's meeting on Sunday evening
enjoyed and appreciated the address
given by Mrs. Ritchie, M,A., on the
Life of John Knox. The vocal duct
by Mrs. Palk and Miss Sarah Mc-
Kellar was also enjoyed. Mrs.
Ritchie gave at the evening meeting
one month ago ` The Life of Martin
Luther."- These addresses are very
fluently rendered and being of vital
interest, as many as possible should
endeavor to be present at these
monthly meetings, 'held the first Still -
clay of -each month. Mrs. Ritchie
studied German in Germany, spend-
ing a year there when a girl, and
has lcnowledge of greater interest,
having seen places renowned because
of the Life of Martin Luther.

other cars were got out, but badly
damaged. The building belonged to
Mr. Thos. Patton, who is ill• at
present. The building was an old
landmark in town, used as a store,
first for groceries and later as a drug
store, and afterwards used by .lir. D.
D. Wilson as an office in connection
with his egg business. The origin of
the fire is not known as everythinlc
was all right a short time previous,
when Mr.. Nichol left. The fire
burned rapidly and threw up vast
clouds of black smoke from the ytl
and paint, The firemen worked like
Trojans and as the pressure from the
Mar lines of ]rose was good, they
soon had it under control, though
from the nature of the fire it was
feared the brick block would also go.
The building and paint shop is a
total loss and there was no insurance.
