"I had a terrible sore on my ankle and had not walked any for eleven months. 1 tried nearly everything without any benefit and had doctor, but he didn' t seem to do any good. He said 1 would have to have my leg taken of, and that I would never walk again. l suffered awful, and at night 1 could not sleep at all. 1 thought there was no rest for me, but as soon as I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment it commenced healing nicely. l bathed the ankle with warm water and Cuticura Soap and then applied Cuticura Ointment to the affected part, and laid a cloth over the sore to hold it in place. After two weeks l could walk around in my room real good, and in six weeks time my ankle was entirely cured and 1 was walking around out of doors. am enjoying perfect health and have gone to work and feel as well as 1 ever did in my life, so l know that the Cuticura Remedies are the best in the world.
 "Cuticura was recommended to me by a lady who had used it when her baby's head was so full of sores he could not lie down. She had to set him up in her arms to sleep. (signed) Mrs. Mary Dickerson, Louisa, c. H. Va, April p, l905."

UNION IS REFUSED.
Reformed PresbyteFIans Adjourn synod
 Without Taking Action.


 Camden, Nov 20-- (Special) The As sociate Reformed Presbyterian Synod, closed it's session last night after transacting much important business.
 One of the most important questions discussed was that of limiting the terms of professors of Ersl0ine College to five years. This proposed limita- ton, after much discussion, was voted down. The Synod then rescinded It's action on Saturday in limiting the term of the President of the college to five years.
 Another topic of much interest was a resolution to give to sons of minis ters free tuition in Erskine College. This resolution was lost, although there seemed to be number in favor of it.
 At Il o'clock there was preaching at the Presbyterian Church by Rev. Charles R. Watson of Philadelphia. From 2:30 to 4:30 ocloc a business session was held. The comfhittee on union recommended that no faction be taken at this Synod. This was adopt ed unaniously. and the committee was enlarged to comprise eight members in- stead of five as heretofOre.
 Monday evening there was held pop ular meeting on Theological Seminary. presided over by Rev. H. R. Blakely. At the close Of this meeting the synod adjourned. after being in session five dayE.

International Society of Building Com missioners and Inspectors, of this city, which has just held it's third annual election and issued report of its pro- gress. Free advice on the subject of fire prevention is offered ito any mu- nicipality, association or individual, having their own corporate or his per- sonal interest enough at heart to ask for it"
 The society is composed of the chief officers of the building departments of the large cities. Nearly every impor- tant city in the country is represented as we'll as many cities in Europe. some of the members being from England, Austria and Mexico. Its work is di-
 rected by the chief executive officer
 F. w. Fitzpatrick, one of the best known consulting architects and au-
 thorities on fire prevention in the Uni ted States.
 Through the societys efforts. many | cities have already been induced, to improve their building laws The so- ciety is also trying to get municipali- | ties to lower taxation on fireproof buildings, while placing the maximum | assessment on fire traps which are q menace and the protection of which l involves big expense to every large city.
 Speaking Of the aims of the society and the need for such an organization
 MT. Fitzpa trick says:
 Year by year we burn up actually one-half of as much as we add. Dur l ing the last month some cities have
 far exceeded that average. Atlants
 erected $239,335 worth of buildings iT l September and burned up $215,OOO 1T | October; Buffalo built S6S9,990 anC
 burned $813,OOO Cur average annua
 fire loss is now s2OO, 900, 900; this year 1t will exceed $500, ,OO0 O00
 The International Society of Build.
 ing Commissioners and Inspectors was formed to carry on campaign of edu. cation whereby the public will becom,
 thoroughly familiar with what consti
 tutes fireproof construction and the need that exists for it."
