POTTOS WILL MT
DE PEELED BY HMD
Electrical "Peeler" Is to Be In
stalled at the County
Almshouse
1 IM jy Potatoes will be
with an electrical
potato peeler and the results have
been so satisfactory that the poor di
rectors will likely authorize at an early
meeting the purchase of the ap
paratus.
The "peeler" is really a scraper and
removes the skin from the potato
without cutting Into the vegetable It
self so that when skinned the "mur
phy" looks much like a well-washed
new potato. The device moves
swiftly of course driven by a motor,
current being supplied by establish
ing connections with the Harrisburg
Light and Power service at the county
institution.
About three bushels of potatoes
daily are used at the almshouse and
these are peeled by the Inmates, three
or four people being delegated to the
job. Even under the most careful
supervision from fifteen to twenty-five
per cent, of the "meat" of the potatoes
is lost in paring, it is said. Hence the
new service is expected to save both
time and money.
