1896 OF HOUSEWIVES
SOAK EVERYDAY
CLOTHES

What does soaking mean to
your Three out of every four
housewives always loosen the
dirt by letting the clothes soak
before they start washing.
With the ordinary soaps, this
helped little but there was still
lot of rubbing to be done.
Rinse, an entirely new kind of
soap, loosens and dissolves every
bit of dirt, without the slightest
injury TO the clothes. Soak your
clothes an hour or more in
Rinse and the dirt rinses right
out, all but the most stubborn
places and those need only a
light rubbing.
Rinse is the only soap YOU
need for the entire regular fam
lily wash. You don't need any
other soap-nor any washing
powder with Rinse. Women who
are using it say their clothes are
spotless and last longer.

MISS A. M. OSBORN
DIES SUDDENLY

Miss Annie Marion Osborn. 500
Washington street, died suddenly
shortly after IL o'clock last evening.
Miss Osborn. who had been book
keeper for the Crosby & Hill Com
pany, was apparently as well as
usual when she ate dinner. At IL
o'clock she complained of a pain
around her heart A physician was
summoned. but Miss Osborn died
few minutes later,
Miss Osborn was born in Niles.
Ohio, and came to Wilmington when
a child. Her father, who was Theo-
dore Osborn. was a Methodist min
ster. Both her parents have been
dead for many years, as had her
brother Theodore Osborn, Jr.
Several years ago Miss Osborn was
employed by L. p. Buck who was
in the insurance business Then she
went with the Miller Thomas Pub
fishing and Printing Company of this
city. Later she went with the Mil
lard F. Davis store, Seweler She
left his. store a few years ago and
went to Atlantic City where she was
secretary of Mercer Memorial Hos
pital. This position she retained for
two years. Miss Osborn has been
back in Wilmington for about two
years.
She was an active worker in West
Presbyterian Church.

sisted that when the Legislature linn
tied that class to such as are wholly
dependent by reason Of age, infirm-
ity. or mental disability, the classih-
cation became improper, for the
reason that there are others wholly
dependent besides those named in
the act.
1t is manifest, when the exemp-
tions provided for are considered
that the. purpose OF the Legislature
was to exempt from the operation of
the law only those deserving persons
who had become dependent through
no fault of their own, that is, those
unfortunate ones who were depen-
dent. n whole or in part, on account
of conditions beyond their control.
And no language could have been
employed that would better express
that purpose.
1t was not intended that persons
should be exempt who had become
dependent by reason Of Incidence,
recklessness or other cause for
which they themselves were re-
spondble.
The exemptions were not designed
to embrace those who were able
physically and mentally to make a
living but those who could not II
they tried.
All the exemptions named in the
act fall within that class; they are
persons who cannoa support them
selves. and are dependent upon the
charity of relatives and friends.
If It be objected that many per-
sons receive outside support from
the Trustees OF the Poor who do not
fall within the above mentioned
class. we say the fault is not in the
law but in its administration.
After a careful consideration of
the Act in question in its applica-
tion to the relator. and the parti-
cular grounds upon which 1t is
claimed to be unconstitutional. the
Court are of the opinion that the act
is not unconstitutional for any rea-
son assigned.
