Corn or Punched Foot

tBy JOHN X. hRAcHvooEr. IN ths Seton
tihc Americana
Nearly every person, at some time
or other. has wished he could stretch
a shoe which at a particular point
pinched the foot or irritated a corn.
1t is not necessary to 60 to a shoe
maker to have the leather stretched.
It can. easily be done at homo by

become detached from the tree when
the latter is forced into the shoe. A

Meat Saving Machine.

saving machine invented by Califor-
MIA man. The meat block is attached
to the machine and a. reciprocating
saw operates over it. The meat is laid
on the block beneath the saw and the
butcher turns crank at the side with
one hand. while with the other hand
he guides the saw. The crank sets in
operation the driving gear that moves
the saw and. being multiple gear. it re
quires very little effort to turn tho
handle. Impelled by this force, the
saw goes through piece OF beef. bone
and all. with no hesitation and along
any line where It may be directed.
