HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE

Handy Contrivance For Pressing Meats.

An invention intended for many uses in the kitchen is the meat press above shown, designed by a Wisconsin man. For making pressed chicken, veal or other meat ibaf and for compressing meat for sandwiches this device is suited, in appearance the affair is much like a letterpress, except that the lower portion, instead of being a flat plate, is a box deep enough to hold a large quantity of meat. The meat or fowl is chopped up into large chunks and deposited in this box. The press is then screwed down until the contents of the box Is compressed Into a solid piece, from which slices may be cut as from a Ibaf of bread. This is especially handy for making sandwiches, as it eliminates all waste and dqes not necessitate the slicing of the roast or fowl only where large pieces of meat can be obtained.
