MADE PROGRESS DURING WAR ‘Situation Resembles That of " France, Says Expert. BY GEORGE R. WITTE. Oorrespondence of The Star and the CI Dally News. COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May Denmark is facing the problem of stabilizing her money. In 1913 the Danish crown (equivalent to 26.8 cents) was exchangeable at the dollar; now it requires mately 6% crowns to bring a dollar. This development is all the more re- markable, since to the visitor Den- mark appears to be economically sound and financially healthy. Denmark kept out of the war. She did a huge amount of buginess dur- ing the war and mained through the war by recovering North Slesvie. in 'the | o > of all these app: the crown has value 1 interviewed Dr. zer, chief editor of T Denmark's leading finan “The financial adyan- | r .

Considering Many Plans. “Many plans have been put forth recently as to how to raise and stabilize the rate of exchange of the orown. Many favor tacking the problem at what they think is its primary cause—the excess of imports over exports. Others want to follow the example of those countries that are levying gold duties and taxes, thus making the state income inde- pendent of xschange fluctuations Still others would appoint a commis- sion to control speculation and limit imports of luxuries. To this clase be- long those who are in favor of ratjon- ing such food stuffs as coffee, Sugar and tea. Iceland has just adopted laws to this effect. “I believe that the exchange prob- Jem is more political than financial, such learned experts as Cassell and Heynes to the contrary, notwith- standing.

Amery, former lord of the admiralty, in a speech at a |} recent luncheon of the London district journalists. Mr. Amery said he was much struck by the trade statistics which appeared in American newspa- pers, compared with anything published here elther about this country or the British empire. The prosperity of America, the speak- er said, had been due to the fact that the wHole of the people, with its press - | behind them, had thought for two gen- erations in terms of development and not in terms of individual trading or business in the ordinary sense of the word. —_— ASKS POSTAGE RATE CUT.

And the result will be the most delicious strawberry jam you ever tasted—at less cost per glass than ever before. . A nationally-known jelly maker has found the way to extract pectin, a substance found in some fruits in varying amounts which makes the juice “jell” or set when boiled with sugar, and then to refine and concen- trate it for convenient use in every "Boil one minute and add Certo Skim and pour home. So wonderful is this product, called Certo (Surejell) that in only three years' time over five million women have adopted its use. All jam and jelly making with CerTo is as simple as “two and two make four.” Anyone who will follow a simple CeRTo recipe can now make any kind of jam and jelly in a few minutes at minimum expense. No more long hours over a hot stove to boil-down your jelly—no more spoiled batches of fruit and sugar because your jelly will not “jell.” Tears and disappointments, a common experi- ence at Jelly making time, are now changed to smiles and _enthusiasm. The new Certo method eliminates all the worry and all the failures, takes less work and gives superior quality. The illustrations show how easily it is—just three simple steps. Note that you boil the fruit and juice only one minute with Certo—not the long, boiling-down method formerly used. Jelly is therefore made of the juice that used to be boiled away. That's why Cerro makes one- half more jam or jelly with the same amount or fruit or at less ex- pense per glass. That is also why your*jam and jelly maded with Certo has a superior color and flavor. More sugar is used in the CERTO method simply to make jam or jelly of the fruit and flavor that used to be boiled away. The amount of sugar in each glass is the same in both methods. Make a lot of jam and jelly for your family this year. Start in now with strawberries. Everybody loves strawberry jam. No home ever has too much of it. As a spread on bread etc, or on ice cream, puddings, or fruit salads, nothing is more tasty. Get some fully-ripened fruit, the kind with the best flavor, and use this recipe for Strawberry Jam . Crush about two quarts ripe berries in separate portions, so that eack berry is _mashed. This allows fruit to |[I quickly absorb the sugar during the short boil. Measure 4 level cups (2 1bs.) crushed berries into large kettle, add 7 level cups (3 lbs.) sugar and mix well. Use hottt fire and_stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard for one full minute, remove from fire and stir in % bottle (scant % cup) Cerro. From time jam is taken off fire allow to stand not over 5 minutes by the clock, before pour- ing. In the meantime, skim, and stir occasionally to cool slightly. Then po%.\; quickly. . P se same recipe for Raspberry, Blackberry or Dewberry jam. Remember Certo is pure fruit pec- tin—the concentrated pectin so highly endorsed by magazine and newspaper cooking editors, government authori- ties and food experts. Cexto i jelly made- with it keeps indefinite- ly. Any grocer will supply you with Certo and a recipe book attached. Get some now while strawberries are plentiful.
