The arguments in behalf Of the law
were presented by Louis D. Brandeis

Ford Of Oregon; those against the law
were by Rome c. Brown C Minneapo-
lis. and former Senator Charles ".
Fulton Of Oregon.
"Tne real question said Attorney

the corruption of their morals and
against the burdens that fan on the
community throughout the dependence
and degeneration of the people
1T has been shown by investigation
that the payment of lower than living
wages produces this result.
-Four different methods of dealing
with the situation have been proposed,
There is the suggestion of education
of employers to teach them that it
does not pay them to hire cheap la
bor, but this has not proved satisfac
tory. 1t has been proposed to reach
1T through labor unions, but this
method does not apply very well to
women, who do not organize unions
to any extent. There is the plan of
publicity, as in Massachusetts, to
shame employers into paying living
wages to women, but this has not
worked out. Finally there is the
method of prohibiting the payment Of
less than living wages, and this is the
course adopted by Oregon, by Austria
liza and by England"
Former Senator Fulton, attacking
the constitutionality of the law, said:
"If it Is true that the wages Of
women are not sufficient to give them
comforts, why is it the fault Of the
employer? Is it the fault of the men
who employ labor that the prices Of
those comforts are so high that they
cannot be reached by the wages they
can afford to pay? Why not pass laws
to reduce the price of the comforts -
The Oregon law creates an indus
trial welfare commission, with power
to fix minimum rates of wages for
women. maximum hours of work and
other conditions of service About a
wear ago the commission established
minimum rate of SS.64 per week
for women in factories in the city of
Portland, and for women in mercan-
tile establishments rate almost
dollar week higher was established,
on the ground that saleswomen were
required to spend more to keep up
appearances.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Pain In the Feet.

In many cases pain in the feet
is owing to the presence Of
corns or bunions. But there are,
more obscure affections that
cause pain In walking. Two Of
the most common are fiat foot
and the opposite condition-an
overhigh arch.
When the arch Is too high the
weight Of the body is not prop
erly distributed, but falls on the
heel and the ball Of the foot.
In Hat foot the pain is most Sc
we're in the early stages, when
the fbrous sheet that stretches
between the ball Of the foot and
the heel has to do all the work
of keeping the foot In shape,
since the ligaments that are
meant to support the arch are
already weakened and elongat-
ed. After this fbrous structure
the Plantar fascia it is called
has yielded and the fiat foot Is
fully established the pain is
much less acute.
When both heels are painful it
usually means either that fiat
foot is beginning OF that the
rheumatic or equity tendency is
declaring itself. When only one
heel is affected the cause Is usu-
ally bruise or strain. AS soon
as the doctor discovers the
source Of the trouble he must
try to remove it, and the patient
can often help him.

FOR INTENSIVE FARMING.

Experiments Conducted With Radium
Chow Ne influence on Plant Growth
Carl r. Loop, deputy consul general
for the United States at London, has
informed the department Of commerce
Of recent experiments made in Eng
land regarding the use Of radium for
intensive farming.
Here Is his report:
Recent experiments have been car
ried out In Croydon, near London, on
the effect Of radium on plant growth.
IT is stated that many Of the results
are s o promising that it Is quite pos
sible that the use OF radtum for crops
may become one Of its important ap
plications In the future. Il Is asserted
that radium has an adverse effect on
the sunwanted' soil organisms, leaving
the useful m freer to stimulate
growth.
BEST results are said to be obtained
with the use Of about n seven-hun-
dredth part Of q grain Of radium to one
ton of soil. The residues left behind
after radium has been extracted from
minerals usually contain a minute
amount Of radium. When these resi-
dues, which are Of comparatively little
value, are mixed with the soil wheat,
and barley grow with great rapidity,,
and the leaves are usually OF darker
color. The most decisive results4so far
:repOrted have been%Obfained with rad
Fishes and carrots, which In some cases
have been nearly six times as heavy as
those grown under similar conditions
Ia ordinary soil
Experiments are also being made to
ascertain the influence OF both radium
and radium emanation on the size and
color Of flowers and other marketgar-
den produce. II Is stated that once IN
corporated with the soil the effects OF
the radium residues VIII remain con-
