Delicious Strawberry Jam
Easily Made in Is Minutes
New Certo Method Never Fails
andM Classes of Jam 'front.' we Quarts Of Fruit

The days of hard work over a hot
stove and the guesswork with its worry
and often with its loss of sugar and
fruit-in jam and jelly making is past
and gone. A nationally known jelly
maker has found the way to extract
pectin-that substance in fruit which
makes the juice "jell' or set when
boiled with sugar-and then to refine
and concentrate it for American house
wives. SO wonderful is this product
called CERTo (SurejelD that over five
million women have adopted its use
within three years. With it anybody
who will follow a simple recipe can
now make jam or jelly with any kind OF
fruit without failure in few minutes
The CERTo method is as simple and
accurate as two and two make four. "
With CERTo you only boil one minute,
not the indefinite period OF the old
method. This one minutes boiling saves
not only your precious time. but it also
saves the juice, the flavor and the color
OF the fruit, which was formerly boiled
away Consequently. with CERTo, you
make about one-half more jam and
jelly than the old method with the
same amount of fruit. For instance,
with two pounds of berries you now
Evening star., 1924-06-22

make five pounds of jam against the
three pounds made by the old method.
That is why more sugar is needed for
the CERTo method. although your jam
and jelly will not contain any more
sugar per glass that by the old method
and the cost per glass is actually less.
This one-minute boiling also preserves
the real color and flavor
Home grown strawberries are now
plentiful at a low price, and housewives
should be putting up strawberry jam
and Jelly for next winter To make
twelve glass of strawberry jam:
Try This Simple Recipe
Crush about 2 quarts ripe berries in
separate portions. SO that each berry is
mashed This allows fruit to quickly
absorb the sugar during the short boil.
Measure level cups crushed berries
into large kettle, add 7 level cups 6
lbs) sugar and mix well. Use hottest
FIRE and stir constantly before and
while boiling. Boil hard for one full
minute, remove from fire and stir in II
bottle (scant Il cup) CERTo. From
time Jam is taken off fire allow to stand
not over minutes by the clock. before
pouring. In the meantime, skim, and
stir occasionally to cool slightly. Then
pour quickly and seal.

BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, April 22-The bill
Of Senator William J. Harris, max

as it passed the house Monday night.
The bill, which will stop the cotton
intentions to plant report of the de-

other changes to insure better cot

January.
This legislation. with ny other
bill revising the methods Of the CEN

the census bureau and the depart.

Harris The bills have the unani-
nous approval of the senators and
congressman from the cotton produc-
ing states
The till just passed requires semi
monthly reports on cotton conditions
between July and December l to
be issued simultaneously with the
ginning figures of the census bureau
The changes will shorten the time be-
tween the reports which Senator

changes occur shortly after a month
ly crop report is issued under the
old plan, it leaves the whole situa-
ton in a condition of great uncer-

many runors and conflicting reports
are issued which tend to disturb the
market.
ut frequently causes violent fluc-
tuations in price when these reports
are issued at different times due to
a different Interpretation of the two
reports" said Senator Harris, "and
the joint issuance Of reports and
forecasts on the production and

reports will be very much more sat

exists until these two bills are put
into effect"
