IRONING MACHINE. Itollor Does the Work Effectively and With Groat Rapidity. The ironing machine shown in the Illustration was designed by an BliBoU man, and it will probably find great popularity not only in laundries but In large families, where the week's ironing is a big item. The machine works on the principle of a

wringer, the goods being Inserted between a roller and a table and pressed out neatly i and quickly with a few turns of the roller. Gasoline or wood alcohol will supply the heat and motive power is furnished by means of a belt, operated by a treadle, as in a sewing machine. The fuel is supplied from a tank that rises at one side of the machine, the flow from which is regulated by a stop cock. When the burners are lighted and the apparatus heated, all tflte" laundress need do Is to stand in front of the machine and feed the linen into It, pressing the treadle from time to time, being relieved of the labor pf bearing down on an Iron and changing It for another every few minutes, as it loses Its heat. —Newark Call.
