of the girl to seek reinstatement.
Miss Bosfeld testified that she had
passed a civil service examination as
stenographer and that when she had
called on DR.. French in regard to a
position, he had expressed surprise and
had said he wished the services of a
white woman. Governor Walsh's at
tention was enlisted and he brought the
case to the attention of DR.. O'Meara
of the State Board of Insanity. Last
October Miss Bosfeld became stenog-
rapher at the Medfeld asylum.
DIR. French, while denying that he
was prejudiced against Miss Bosfeld
on account of her color, testified that
he believed her coming would lead to
trouble among the other employees and
would tend to lessen discipline. He
testified that he arranged that she
should take her meals and have her
room in a private house half mile
from the asylum. After a short time,
the woman of that house notified DR..
French that she could not keep Miss
Bosfeld longer. Then he gave her a
room in The chapel, which he admitted
was not far from the morgue, with the
understanding that her meals were to
be sent to her on a tray. Later, he
said, she insisted on having her meals
in the regular diningroom and for
eighteen or nineteen days made re-
peated efforts to enter that room at
meal times. He said he thought he had
a right to have employees eat where he
wishes; and because of her alleged in
subordination he sent her a written
notice of dismissal, to become effective
January 2S.
Charles L. Williams, clerk of the
Juvenile court, said Miss Bosfeld had
been employed by the firm of Williams
G. Williams, and that they never had
a better stenographer. Warren Dudley,
secretary of the civil service commits
sioners, explained the civil service
rules.
Assistant Attorney General Brown,
appearing for DR.. French, contended
the latter had acted solely within his
rights.
Charles l.. Williams said that, while
acts like that of DR.. French might be
tolerated in Georgia, they ought not to
be countenanced in Massachusetts.

NATIONAL NEWS NOTES.
Brief Bits of News and Comment
On Men and Women.
EDISON, AT SO, TALKS OF FOOD,
DRINK AND WORK.

Orange, n. J.-Thomas A. Edison
celebrated his Goth birthday by doing
Just what he has done almost every day
of his life, and the thing he likes most
to do. He worked hard. He gave
himself over to the newspaper men for
just a few minutes, but two things
were tabooed-politics and the navy.
That is to say he refused to 60 into
details about either of these interesting
things.
Here is what the wizard has to say
about eating: "Cut your food down
to one-third or one-fourth of what you
have been eating. 1 eat three meals
a day. That's habit and nothing else.
But eat a quarter of what the average
man does. 1 know it because | see it
at nv own table, Prohibition is a
subject that always interests Mr.. Edi-
son. He is opposed to strong drink but
not to beer, and the lighter beverages.
Man isn't perfect yet, he says, and you
cannot take alcohol away from him all
at once. If you do he III resent the act.
Beer has 4 per cent alcohol, while whis-
key is almost wholly alcoholic. His
solution of the vexed question ap-
parently is that whiskey, gin, and heavy
beverages should be suppressed. Beer
and the lighter wines, he seems to feel,
would not cause the vexatious dis
turbances that have almost caused
anarchy in some parts of the country.
1t has often been a mooted question as
to why cleavage should not be estab-
lished as between the heavy, alcoholic
products of the distiller, and those made
from barley, hops and grapes. Public
opinion would readily seek a solution
of the whole question along Edisonian
lines if this cleavage were established,
and if it were made known that intox-
ication would be reduced, if not wholly
removed, by some such action as Mr..
Edison advocated on his Goth birthday,
namely a slight reduction in the al
coholic content of beer and the lighter
beverages. AS usual, Edison leads the
way.

On Monday of this week the Royal
Life Insurance Company, Alfred
Glover, President, accused by many of
its white shareholders of crooked bust
ness methods, finds its way into the
Superior Court before Judge Charles
NJ. Foell, who appoints a receiver to
take charge of it's affairs.
Alfred Glover, the Jean Vatican of
the insurance world, is in trouble again.
1t was Alfred Glover who some time
ago boosted that he had started life
as an orphan newsboy and wharf rat,
and had started the Royal Insurance
Company of Chicago on a "shoe-
string" and "got away with it."
Monday, on a petition filed by eight
stockholders charging fraud, Judge
Charles NJ. Foell in the Superior court
appointed a receiver for the company
of which Glover is head.
AS soon as the petition had been filed
inquiries by phone began pouring into
The Tribune Office from stockholders,
mostly druggists and physicians on the
northwest side, who claimed to have
been victimized by Glover.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
II your chiid's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.
