Valuable Discovery in
Complexion Beautifier

Because of its peculiar power Of alb
sorption, also because 1t serves every
emOllient purpose, ordinary merc0llzed
wax is perhaps the most valuable com
plexion beautifer discovered within re-
cent years. If one uses this she needs
no toilet cream. Some use powder al
terward, but this is not necessary. This
rule for applying mercolized wax has
been found very satisfactory. Wash the
face with warm water, drying lightly
Before thoroughly dry, anoint face and
neck with the wax, but don't rub 1t in.
The favorite way is to use before re.
tiring. allowing it to remain on all
night and washing it of in the morn
ing with warm water All druggists
have this wax in original one-ounce
packages.
For the removal of a wrinkled or
aabby condition there's nothing better
than to battle the face in solution

saxolite in l-2 pint witch hazel. Bene-
fetal results are quickly noticeable.

ATHLETICS PART OF
RELIGIOUS EFFORT

A campaign for the organization OF
Biddle Bible classes in the Wilmington
churches was inaugurated yesterday,
when Anthony j. Drexel Biddle, mil
lionaire churchman of Philadelphia, and
head OF the Sabbath school classes bear
ing his name, accor panied by several oi
his workers invaded the churches anu
addressed those interested.
Mr.. Biddle spoke at the morning ser
vice m Grace Methodist Church, out
lining the growth Of his organization.
lie pointed out that there are now more
than 1000 classes with a membership
of $4,000 scattered over the country
and declared the list is constantly
growing. He said his visit TO Whining
ton was for the purpose Of enlisting the
co. operation of local churchmen.
The proposition before the churches
is 10 organize a district in this State
and institute Biddle Bible classes. II Is
hoped that other Bible bodies in VIII
minpton churches will assist in the
work. The Biddle classes in Philadel-
phia have an athletic field and a club
house, and # the movement here Is a
success these may be secured Tor WI

Mr.. Biddle put in busy afternoon
explaining the work in which he rs en-
gagged. His visited six Sunday schools
and delivered addresses. His assistants
also were busy. ..,,
H. Frederick Wilson and J. Dewitt
johnson were at Grace Church Sunday
school, while Mr.. Johnson spoke at
McCabc, Epworth and silyerbrooh
churches. Mr.. Mills, an enthusiastic
Biddle classman, was at hpwort'
Church during the morning and spoke
on "rhe Three C's, Cooperation, Con
centration mad Conservation"
The Epworth League has pledged 1t
self TO further Bible class work here
and will organize bodies throughout th'
city. SupeIintendents of Bible study
classes ia Delaware are: Frederick
Brinqhurst, d. l.. Mckinney, George w

In Grace Church IL is quite probable
that several classes will affiliate them

going over to purchase before he had
rot there and bought them. of course
YOU are quite right in that. Mr.. Swithers.
So that's the case is 1t? That's the rid
die you want solved. eh? First, how Mr.
SOly ROsenstrin gets those diamonds
aboard the steamer. and second how he
gets them of again and evades the United
States revenue officers? Well, if my
theory is correct. the first ought not to
be very difficult TO answer. / shall sail

and ] dare say that We shall find that
one of the passengers leaves the steamer
when Ehe touches at Queenstown for the

lander. and think, too, that he will leave
the diamonds behind him But. whether
| am right in that conjecture or not. one
thing is certain: the diamonds will be
aboard ship with -Ir. Solly RoSenstein,
and the point is to discover how he gets
them of and carries them past the United
States CustOms-if he ever does succeed
in doing so.
"Oh. he'll pull that Or all right-aIl
right" prorhesed Swithers with a

the man who nahs him and puts an end
to his little game; but bet you hat
you'll never win it,
Bet you another I do replied Cleek

back home and see about my packing.
for it will take at least six weeks to
finish this little job and turn my face
homeward again, and a man needs

Think you've got clew, CIeek? Think
you can overhaul the fellow, old chap?"
Sure of it, Mr.. Narkom. A sovereign

1t was exactly twenty-eight minutes to

States: and no wonder he can under
sell the big dealers when the things
never pay a cent of duty. Some people
think that it isn't Solly alone who's in
the deal-that it's sort of syndicate
and that most of the pawnbrokers in
the city are behind it, and just use
Solly's place as kind of clearing
house. His wife runs the place while
he's away-and she's a bird. too. / can

him for any man living. Always down
to the steamer to see him off when he
sails for this side. and always at the
pier to welcome him when he gets
back again. Makes you tired to see
how she hugs and kisses him, and
what fuss she makes over the ugly
little snipe."
Hum -m-m,' commented Cleek re-
flectively. and began to pinch his chin.
Does he never bring her over here
with him?"
Sure. Once in a while. His father
looks after the business at such times
But it's easy looking after There amt
much doing in Solly's line when Mrs
Solly is out of the country. He gath

"Ah! I see. He is always in the coun-
try when she isn't. That's what makes
it so laundering hard to get any posi-
tive evidence against the little devil;

There's the pawn ticket and the pawn
broker. and there are Mrs. Solly's books
to show that she only gets a commits
sicn on the sales. It's a dead cinch
you'll never get the goods on her."
Yet suppose it has occurred to you
that she is the confederate, and that IL
the diamonds do get past the customs
undetected hers is, in all probability,
the hand that conveys them?"
Sure! We're as certain of that as

yet no trace of the whereabouts of

That's right. Been done half a
dozen times, but nary a diamond. We
can't get a hint of how he smuggles
them into the country"
Then how do you know that he
does smuggle them in?"
Because in a month or so the mar
ket's loaded with them, and when we
trace the source of supplies it's the
same old game-Solomon ROsenstein.
But you can't get the goods on him, no
