PEELER EASY TO CONSTRUCT

Can Be Made at Home and Is Great Help In the Preparation of Vegetablee. A simple vegetable peeler can be easily made as follows: Secure a block of wood one inch thick and two inches wide and six inches long, and a piece of tin, iron or brass one-fourth

inch wide by three and one-half lnehes long. Bend the metal as shown in Fig. 1 and fasten it to the rounded edge of the. block by means of four nails or tacks, as shown in Fig. 2. File it down at A, Fig. 1, to make the cutting edge, which should be no more than oneeighth inch from the surface of the block. The peeler is used as shown in Fig. 3.—Popular Mechanics.
