MOST USEFUL KITCHEN TOOL

Invention of New York Man Speedily Removes Eyes From Fruit and Vegetables. One duty that takes up a lot of the cook’s time and tries her temper and patience is the operation of removing the eyes from fruit and vegetables. It is usually accomplished by digging the eyes out with the point of a sharp knife. A New York man has designed a little implement which does this work in a jiffy and which should prove a popular kitchen tool. The eyer is a simple a wooden handle having a spoonlike metal projection. The bowl of the spoon is very sharply pointed, however, and all the edges are sharp. Consequently, eyes can be dug from pineapples, potatoes or other fruit and vegetables with? the greatest case and speed by mere-

ly scooping them out with the spoon instead of circling around them with the end oj a knife. The utensil can be made so cheaply that it Is within reach of any housewife.
