A Famous Doctor says: "After long experience of Hall's Wine I "still continue to prescribe it, and have never failed to obtain benefit in all cases.' Hall's Wine is a scientific preparation- the prescription of a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, England, and it has been steadily growing in popular favour for over a quarter of a century-the period it has been before the public. Each day brings new evidence-every post adds to the countless letters on our files in praise of Hall's Wine.

Doctors recommend Hall's Wine for building up the system against Climatic Dangers, Exhaustion, Nerve Trouble, and the ill-effects of Overwork.

MINIMUM WAGE FOR WOMEN

U.S. SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT.

In the declaration made by the Supreme Court of the United States on April 9th that the Act of Congress under which the minimum wage for women and girls in the district of Columbia had been fixed is un- constitutional the Court was divided. Five were for the, declaration and thre against it. Chief Justice Taft being among the dissenters. The decision, which is sur, to be vehemently debated, is likely to strengthen the agitation for a constitu tional amendment which would require a two-thirds majority of the Court, to set

side an Act of Congress,

The majority of the Court takes its stand on freedom of contract, believed to be guaranteed by the fifth Amendment to the Constitution. It holds that if Con gress could fix a minimum wage it could also fix a maximum wage, and th abolish private right of contract for the purchase or sale of labour. The fact that the Minimum Wage Board had prescribed minima for different forms of plesment was cited as demonstrating the "fatal uncertainty of the Act; while its defectiveness was held to be shown in its concern only with the necessities of one party to the contract and ignoring the necessities of the employer, who is prohi bited from adjusting compensation to the differing merits of his employés.

The Chief Justice and his fellow disarzt- ers argued that there was no greater police power in Congress and the State Legislatures to regulate working condi tious than to regulate wages, and that since there had been wide uniformity in the view that working conditions could be prescribed by the lawmaking bodies, it followed that wages were also a proper subject for legislation.
