GRAND JURY’S REPORT
Following is the report of
the Grand Jury of Somerset
County for December Sessions,
1917:—The Grand Jury for
the December Sessions of the
Criminal Court for 1917, upon
their visitation to: the Somer-
set County Home and House of
Employment and Hospital for
the Insane, December 6, 1917,
beg leave to submit the follow-
ing report:
First. We find the institu-
tion in a crowded condition and
for want of a separated build-
ing the employees occupy at
present rooms intended and
needed for inmates. We there-
fore recommend: (A) That
only applicants from our own
county be considered for ad-
mission as long as this crowded
condition exists. (B) That as
soon as feasible a suitable
building be erected, the first
floor of which to contain a
chapel for religious services
and recreation room, the sec-
ond floor to have at least
twenty-five sleeping rooms to .
be used exclusively for em-
ployees.
Second. We recommend that
the barn be repaired, and that
the roof be attended to imme-
diately and that the barn be
enlereed as soon as feasible.
Third. That we have ex-
amined the utensils in the din-
ing rooms and find the granite
ware used vnfit and

that it be. replaced in

Fourth. We find that the
supply of milk cows is insui-
ficient to meet the present de-
mands and recommend that a
sufficient number of cows be
purchased to supply the needs
of the home.
We also find that manage-!
ment of the home and hospital.
are using every effort to fulfill
their duties as required by the
laws o fthe Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and the rules
governing said institution in
so far as we are able to observe
and learn.
Very respectfully submitted,

Foreman of Grand Jury.

was the congregation’s pastor.
He has since become a mem-
ber of the faculty of Albright;
College, at Myerstown, Pa. {
The heavy expenditure of;
money for the building of the,
church induced the congrega-t
tion to forego the luxury of al
its:
building, but the membership
has increased and most of the]
church debt has disappeared,
so that recently the congrega-
tion determined to procure the
organ, and the work thereon!
was completed last week.
It was a fitting incident that §
the Rev. Zener, who labored so
arduously for the building of
Grace Church, should preside
at the ceremonies for the dedi-. |
cation of the pipe organ.

Sells the Champion Cream Saver
~NEW DE LAVAL.
ALY any separator will do fairly good work avhen it is
IH
brand new, perfectly adjusted and skimming warm
from freshened cows. .
But a separator can’t always be new, cows can’t always be
fresh, nor can you always separate your milk while it is at 85
or 90 degrees. In other words, your separating is done under
practical conditions, and the sensible thing to do is to get a prac-
tical separator. :
The NEW De Laval is the most
practical separator you can buy
because it is the only separator that you can depend upon to skim
clean under any and zll conditions of milk and temperature, and
to deliver cream of uniform thickness.
f vou want to own a separator that will do
jts work better than any other, and do it
without constant tinkering and adjustment,
then the NEW De Laval is the machine to
buy.
While this statement has always been true
of De Laval machines, it is true today to am
even greater degree than ever before because
of the many improvements in the NEW De
Laval.
The new self-centering bow! which gives the
machine greater capacity and skimming efi-
ciency, the De Laval bell speed-indicator,
which alone would be worth many dollars 2
year to a cow owner, the improved auto-
matic oiling system and the many other im-
provements found in no other make of
machine, make the NEW De Laval by far the
most satisfactory separator to operate and
the most profitable to own.
You can buy a NEW De Laval from us on
Drug Store
y liberal terms. Come in and examine the
d machine and talk it over,
