MAKES TOUGH STEAK TENDER

Meat Pressed Between Two Corrugated Metal Surfaces Is Rendered Mora Palatable. The toughest piece of steak that ever loosened a boarder's teitfa will be made tender by the machine Invented by an Oregon man, who probably occupied a hall bedroom at some time In his life. A corrugated metal base la mounted on a roller, also of corrugated metal and adjustable at different distances from the base. The roller Is loosened and one end of the steak thrust under IL It Is then, tightened

till the meat will be well mangled when passing under it and the base portion Is slid back and forth several times. The result is that the steak is crushed between these two ridged surfaces and all the spank taken out of it. After it has been through this process It can be cooked and eaten without fear. The blood that Is squeezed out can be made Into delicious gravy.

Roller Is Adjustable.
