Some place powdered lime with shavings to prevent vermin breeding. It only wants a leaky roof on this mixâ€" ture and a chemical combustion will take place with a resultant fire, Then again, it is always necessary to use much more water to put out a fire of this nature, and what the property owâ€" ner does not lose by fire is lost by water spcilage. ° In other words, says the fire chief, if you can‘t protect yourself help the firemen to protect you." The pubâ€" lic can learn much about fire protecâ€" tion if present at the Firemen‘s Conâ€" vention, on Monday, Sept. 28th.
