f Song Of Christmas
By JAMES WHITCOr1B RILEY


~ HANT me a rime OF Christmas,
V Sing me ovial song,
And, though it is filled with laughter
Let it be pure and strong.
Sing OF the hearts brimmed over
With the story of the day
OF tie echo of child sh voices
That will not die away
OF the blare of the tassed bugle
And the tmeless clatter and beat
OF the drum that throbs to muster
Squadrons of scampering feet
Bat OH let your voice fall fainter
Till, blent with minor tone
You temper your song with the beauty
OF TIE pity Christ hath shown.
And sing for the voiceless
And yet ere the song be done,
\ verse fer the that hear not
And verse or The sightess one. ... go.
r For though it be time ior singing
A merry Christmas glee,
M Let low sweet voice OF pathos
Run through the melody.

DON'T HAVE THIN, FADED, GRAY HAIR.

You can bring back the natural
color of your hair in a few days
and forever rid yourself OF any
dandruff and loose hairs, and make
your hair grow strong and beauti-
full by using Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy. For genera
tons common garden sage has
been used for restoring and pre-
serving the color of the hair; and
sulphur is recognized by Scalp
Specialists as b ing excellent for
treatment of hair and scalp
troubles.
If you are troubled with dan
druff or itching scalp, or if your
hair is losing its color or coming
out. get a ffty-cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from
your druggist. and notice the i'm

What pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded
or streaked with gray, and realize
that most of these people might
have soft, glossy, abundant hair OF
beautiful color and luster II they
would but use the proper treat
ment. There is no necessity for
gray hair under sixty-five years OF
age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin.

with excessive oil.

the most of them. There are failures, OF

THE INSPECTION
OF COWS BEGINS

DR.. Norgaard started on his annual
inspection of all the milch cows of
the county this morning. He will per-
sonally inspect every COW for tubercu-
losis. The veterinarian declares that
he does not expect to find more than
? per cent of the herds infected. AS
the cows found to be tuberculos will
be destroyed, the probabilities are
that the milch COWS of the county will
rate higher than any others in the
United States.
d. p. r. Isenberg's herds will be in
speeted first. 1t is thought that, after
the 1912 inspection, the herds of Oahu
will be clean. The milk supply is said
to be the best possible standard, and
the whole milk situation is excellent.

COOPER ON PLAN
TO AMEND THE PARTY RULES

80 far as | know" said Chairman
Cooper today, there is no need Of
the excitement that seems to prevail
in some quarters over the announce
ment that the Territorial Central
Committee proposes to amend the
party rules, as no unfairness is con
templated and the members of the
party at large viii be given every op-
portunity of criticizing the proposed
changes before their final adoption.
1t is hardly probable, moreover, that
any of them will take effect before
next July, when the political season
commences with the biennial election
of precinct club officers, the primaries
for the election of delegates to both
county and territorial conventions,
held in September followed by the

That the whole of the waterfront of
Honolulu is menaced by the danger
of fire, is the opinion of Marston
Campbell, as expressed at the meeting
of the harbor commissioners this
morning. The Allen G Robinson lum-
Der yard, on Fort street, is the cause
of the allegation.
This morning communication from
Harbormaster Foster was read, and in
it the captain declared that the piling
of lumber at the yard was the source
of great danger. Early this week
Foster visited the lumber yard and
found that the lumber was projecting
out into Fort street and that, right
among the piles, he found a bundle
of newspapers and some broken shin
giles. "If the affair had been arranged
to start fire, it could not have been
better DONE" said one of the commits
sioners. "All that was needed YVES a

At the meeting of the harbor com
missioners that was held this morn
ing, the Hilo wharf regulations were
finally approved of and passed. The
long-fought proposition is now con-
sidered to be settled, and all that re-
mains is for the Hilo Railroad Com
pany to sign the contract. That the
company will do so is thought to be
sure, as the last amendJTont suggest
ed by them has been ADOPTED by the
board of harbor commissioners.
AS regards the final amendment, it
may be said that the very change ask
ed for is exactly the section used in
the first draft of the regulations, and
which was strenuously objected to by
the railroad company and the Inter
Island Co. This was pointed out this
morning and the commissioners smil-
ed when the fact was mentioned.
There was no long discussion over
the proposed amendment to the regu-
lations which are to govern the Hilo
wharf. The amendment reads that all
outgoing freight that originates on

course. The lots will be laid out with

improvements to some extent. This
will save the resident the expense Of
making changes and it was the fact
that many of the Punchbowl residents
are not especially opulent that nhu-
enced the Governor and land commits
sioner in adopting this policy.
With regard to the Board of Health
examinations, the Governor expressed
his attitude in terse if conservative
form, limiting himself to a single
statement.
"The first principle in the policy of
the Board of Health is efficiency in
the all important matter of public
health" is what he said,

this is one of the simplest means of
regulating party affairs in a place

considered the examination the best

a chance to make good.
The percentage of most of the, can
didates was improved considerably
through the oral examination, and it
is thought that good many of the
men will pass the examination as a
whole.
There was meeting OF the Board
of Health yesterday afternoon, when
routine matters were taken up. DR..
Pratt exhibited some photographs
