SAYS WIFE USED
A HAMMER ON HIM
And Wife Declares Henry Aston
Struck Her for Attend
ing Church.

That the complainant in a suit for
maintenance against her husband
had "a very violent temper and had
committed such trihing acts of vio-
lence as hitting her husband with a
hammer or some other handy
weapon" was the statement made by
Chauncy H. Beasley before Vice
Chancellor Stevens today.
Mr.. Beasley appeared as counsel for
Henry Aston, baker, of 1874 Harri-
son avenue, Harrison. The applica-
ton for maintenance was made by
Joseph e. Coulon, representing Mrs
Honora D. Aston, who is living at 1907
Hartford street, this city.
The Astons were married June q,
1897. and separated in October, 1908,
at which time Mrs. Aston claims her
husband deserted her. He went to live
in a furnished room directly across
the street from her. Afterwards he
agreed to pay $40 week for the sup
port Of herself and three children,
two of whom are at present in st.
Mary's Orphan Asylum, on South Or
ange avenue.
In spite Of the fact that he is the
owner of two bakeries, one at 1874
Harrison avenue, and the other in
Kearny, and that his income is about
$1,000 q year. according to his wife, he
has failed to keep the agreement,
Mrs. Aston sets forth. She also
charges him with acts of violence,
stating in her petition that while
they were living in Red Bank he at
tackled her within heavy instrument
for attending church services on Sun
day without his permission.
Mr.. Coulon declared that his client
was now suffering from complica-
ton of ailments and that $40 week
was not sufficient provision for her.
He asked that the vice-chancellor fix
the amount at SIS a week. The court
reserved decision in the matter, ac-
cepting the affidavits of both parties
for consideration.

quickly seek means of gaining a natural
complexion. Let her acquire the mer-

entirely, and she will SOON have the kind
of complexion chat women envy and men
admire it's so easy to get an ounce Of
mereolized wax at any drug store, use
nightly like cold cream and wash 1t of

markabie. Gradually the lifeless cuticle
peels off in almost invisible daky parti-
cies. In q week or or, 50 there's a brand

Is so simple, harmless and marvelously
effective, fhe wonder Is that every woman
whose skin is withered, discolored. rough,
