An ARCHITECT
v|EW.0F THE
CASE
VIM. A. Borrnans Gives His
Opinion On the City
Hall Matter.
Editor Pensacola Journal:

Editor Pensacola Journal:
1t is a curious instance that an
architect don't want to recognize city
authorities in the erection of a new
city hall and assumes the role of boss
absolute. The architect is aware OF
the fact that the money to be spent
for the new city hall is the peoples
money, that the people through their
employees have a right to see TO 1t,
that they get value received for their
money, that the board of public works
represents the people and that the
architect is paid out of the peoples
money.
Mayor Bliss statement that he
has seen men pounding up cement
ought to put an end to all further
fuss and the architect ought to be
put dead to right about it. The arcE>.
tect's place or his representative, Is
on the building grounds, when bad or
inferior materials are proposed to be
used and not in Montgomery. 1t is
the architects duty to have those ma
terials removed Immediately from the
grounds BY doing that he shows
that he is boss over the work in
trusted to him. II the plans and
specifications are followed and exc
cuted to the letter, they do the rest
OF the bossing.
1t is ridiculous to refuse the city
employees access to the grounds as
long as they do not interfere with the
workmen or with the work. VI
course the architect is guided by the
plans and specifications and need not
listen to advices or take orders from
anybody, that is not empowered to
do so: but the parties thus en-
powered have a right to see things
done right. The board of public
works, for one, and Mayor Bliss, as
the head Of the family, certainly can
not be denied that right
The builder of course is in differ
ent position. He is to take orders
from the supervising architect only,
and nobody but the architect has g
right to interfere with his work.
The architect is to do his duty.
That is what he is paid for. If he
don't do it, call him to terms and
make him do it. If he is obstinate
and won't do it-well. many good

CLERK MERRITT
TO LEAVE
OFFICE
AS Soon as Mayor Names q
Person to Succeed Him
AS City Clerk.

City Clerk Clifton E. Merritt, who
has held the position since shortly
after Mayor Bliss assumed the office
of chief executive. has rendered his
resignation to the mayor to become
effective as soon as the mayor selects
suitable man to succeed him.
The city clerk has been consider
ing taking this step for some time,
no doubt due to the large amount Of
work that has now to be performed in
the Office, but it was only recently
that he notified the mayor to choose
some one to succeed him.
The mayor stated yesterday after
noon that he already had several ap-
plications from parties who were
aware of the clerks intention to re-
sign. but had not decided as to the
man whom he would appoint.
II will probably be several days
bdt1re he makes the appointment,
being DESTROYS of securing good man
for the position.

SCARCITY OF
l-CENT STAMPS
HAS BEEN RELIEVED BY THE
ARRIVAL OF A CONSIGNMENT
AT THE LOCAL OFFICE.

The scarcity of one-cent postage
stamps in Pensacola, which prevailed
for three or four days, was yesterday
relieved, when a large consignment
was received, and parties who had
been endeavoring to secure stamps
of this denomination had their wants
supplied
Several days ago the local postotflce
sold out of one-cent stamps, due to
the fact that a shipment ordered on
Sep. goth failed to arrive, and it
seemed as though every person IN
Pensacola wanted one-cent stamps
from the manner in which calls were
made for them at the stamp window.
None could be procured, however, and
several days passed, with notices
uosted at the stamp window that al.
one-cent stamps had become exhaust
cd before the shipment finally ar
rived.
The supply at the local office be-
came exhausted much carrier IN the
month than is usually the custom
due to the unprecedented demand.
Usually the sales for the month
amount to about $4,000 one cent

 ease.
 The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses ev- cry spring and fall.
 . It was the universal spring and fall blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and mind you, thiS old-fashloned remedy was not without merit.
 The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. 4a
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur In a palatable. con- centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than tablespoon ful of the crude sulphlr.
 In recent years, research and experi- u1ent have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calciuni (Cslcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stu arts Calcium Waters. They are small chocolate coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur In highly concentrated, effective form.
 Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purifes and en- riches the blood by the prompt elimi- nation of waste material.
 Our grandmother knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo- lasses every spring and fall. but the crudIty and Impurity of ordinary flow CTS of sulphur were often worse than the disease and cannot compare with the modern con ientrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Waters Is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural anttdote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con stipation and purify the blood in way that often surprises patient and physi- clan alike.
 pr. R.
