 Peeler Works Wonders

| To keep the face, neck, arms and hands truly beautiful and youthful in appearance, the treatment which seems most sensible is one which will actual ly remove the skin itself inlm edfa iy 1t Begins to age, fade. coarsen or dis which will do this, aside from d pain fuI, expensive surgical operation, Is the application Of ordinary mercollzed wax, Which is as harmless as it is effective.
 The wax Is put on at night, just as you apply cold cream, and washed off In the morning. It absorbs the dead and haI-dead surface skin in almost invisible daky particles, a little eae h day, no discomfort being experienced. With the disappearance or the old cuti- cle. the newer, healthier skin under meath gradually appears, richly beau tifu1 with the flush of youth. This mercelfzed wax, which you can get t any drug store in original package, is indeed Yeritable wonder-worker.

BENJAMIN sPRoWsoNss BODY
 FOUND IN CANAL Baltic Mill Boss carder Missing Since Saturday Night.

After a search which lasted many hours. the dead body of Benjamin Sprowson was found at the bottom of the canal at the rear of the Baltic Cotton mill. about half past five Wed nesday morning. Sprowson had been missing since last Saturday night, and Sunday morning his hat was seen floating in the canal, which led to the belief that he had committed suicide, so Tuesday night the water in the there was light enough Wednesday morning the search was taken up, which resulted in the finding of the body.
 The face of the dead man was some what lacerated, owing to tn dra gine process employer earlier. His watch was stopped at quarter to seven This time is accounted for by the fol- lowing story: A man who was going up the river early Sunday mornins
 oticed Sprowson standing near the bulkhead, and he says that the time was about. half past six, so it is thought that Sprowson might have thrown himself in shortly after this Incident.
 As soon as the discovery was made the coroner was notified, and gave remission for the removal of the body.
 prowson, who was about 34 years
 d was the boss, carder in the Bal
 e Cotton mill. and the cause of his death remains a mystery, but it is thought that he was Respondent over the i'll health of his wife, who only re- ce- tly returned from the hospital where she underwent a sur gical oper- ation. He was man about whom little was known, as he was of an extremely reticent nature, so it is not known whether he was subject to fits of insanity or not.
 He is survived by his wife and three little children, his wife being frantic over the sudden calamity which has befallen her. She has the sympathy of the entire community in her hour of deeD grief

rassiter, who Is AZ years old, came here
,,itb his former wife four years ago as
nostor of the Delaware Baptist Church.
previously he was pastor of the Chester
Avenue Baptist Church, Philadelphia
The Collinses were prominent in the
cburch, and Miss Vera, then a child,
seemed to fascinate the pastor. He help
Cd her with her lessons, and often the
two took long walks together. She was
az active in church affairs as her parents.
Che played a cornet in the choir, and
nlayed 1t well. She also had an excellent
voice.
Miss Vera's parents accepted the pas
tor's attentions to her as simply show
ing his interest in the welfare of q mem
her of his flock, but, as the girl began
growing to womanhood and put on long
dresses and tucked UP her hair, other
members of the church remarked that
the minister was more attentive to her
than to his own wife. At least he was
seen oftener with Miss Collins than with
Mrs. Lasslter.
In the spring and summer of 1913 Las
ster's attentions to the young woman
were the principal topic of gossip among
members of his congregation. Then Harry

new field Lassiter resigned Immediately,
and his wife left him.
Lasslter got a job as foorwalker in a
Philadelphia department store, and three
months ago began proceedings for divorce
In Michigan.
Miss Collins in the meantime continued
her studies at the Wilmington High
School and was graduated last June.
Lassiter got his divorce on August 20,
Mr. and Mrs. Collins were at church
Sunday night. Miss Vera did not care to
attend services, as her interest in the
church was not SO great as 1t had been
when Lassiter was In the pulpit.
During the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Collins, Lassiter drove up to their home.
Miss Vera was waiting for him, and she
was whisked away to Baltimore on the
first train.
Since he left Wilmington Lassiter has
not been connected with any church. His
