WARMING AGAINST EXPOSURE

Precautions against exposure, which
will result in bad colds that mar the
Christmas holidays, were given in
special bulletin of the State board of
health yesterday

Drafts and close rooms, however,

Remedy thus avoiding lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness, BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can

so evenly. You just da.npen a sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After an
other application or two your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. ADV.

WADMAN DENIES
BEEN ASKED TO
Leave THE CITY

Il have never been asked to sever
my connections with the Korean Ma
tional Association. nor have | been
asked to leave. the islands," said DR..
John w. Wadman, head of the Korean
and Japanese missionary work IN Ha-
wall, this morning, speaking with re-
gard to the alleged charges brought
against him by members of the Korean
colony for accepting money from the
Japanese consulate for Korean chart
table purposes.
The charges" against Mr.. Wad-
man, which are claimed to have
aroused the ire of the members of
the Korean colony, are to the effect
that he collected the sum of two hun
dred dollars from the Japanese con-
sulate for charitable purposes among
the Koreans, and that in doing this he
had committed sin" AS a result Of
this a war broke out and the matter
was taken by the United Korean
News, the organ of the National
Korean Association, and it was noised
around that DR.. Wadman was called
upon by a number of Koreans and
asked to sever his connections with
the Koreans of the city, and also to
leave town. Mr.. Wadman, however,
denied this this morning.
Il am on the best of terms with the
Korean associations" he went on to
say, land this morning Young Park
and the president of the association
paid me a personal call, and express
ed their surprise at the alleged action
which is being taken against me by
the Koreans. | explained to them
that the. money which l collected for
the Korean charities came from an
other source and was merely turned
over to me through the Japanese con-
sulate. The matter has been
Strengthened out both to the satisfac-
ton Of the association and myself
Not one unkind word has been spoken
at any of cur conferences though
much regret was expressed at first
because of the article which appeared
in the Nippu Jill, which article its
editor kindly corrected and explained
in subsequent issue. Moreover, the
Koreans were pleased to learn that
the amount forwarded to this mission
by the Japanese consul was con-
tributed from funds officially placed
in his hands by others. for educational
and benevolent purposes in Hawaii"

Association controversy. While conferences be-
tween the association and the company are still
under way, it seems probable that there will be
will not insist on its demand thar the Intcr-IsI-
and arbitratr the dismissal Of employees.
The Star Bulletin regards the situation today
not as a victory for the company or Il defeat for
the men, but as distinct triumph for the rights
of che public Throughout this controversy the
Star Bulletin has insisted that the right of the
public is paramount, and that every resource of
conference and meeting should be exhausted be-
fore there would arise any necessity of resOrting
TO strike or walkout. This paper has seen JUS
tice and merit on each side Of the controversy,
as we'll as sincerity and determination. The
third party, the public, has had no representa-
tive i'm the delicate negotiations except the al
most intangible power Of public sentiment.
The StarBulletn has endeavored to treat all
parties fairly and honestly and to speak for the
public of Hawaii 1t is gratifying to note that
both sides are paying heed to the interests Of this
third party, the public, and making attempts to
avert an open break.
MT. Il. +. blsuOp put the case well yesterday
in an open letter emphasizing this public inter
est and urging as the Star-Bulletin has been
urging, that the offer of the Inter-Isand to meet
the association in conference be accepted.
There seems much hope that peace will Gene
from the conferences now Oh. And now, as al
ways, it is shown that neither corporation nor
labor organization can afford to run counter to
the body Of public opinion.
