Adulterating Spices with Cocoanut Shells

A BUSINESS item in a Philadelphia paper frankly discloses a system of adulteration of food. It states that the large factory which has been standing idle near Makefield Station, Bucks County, has been leased by Philadelphia parties, who will establish a plant for roasting and grinding cocoanut shells. These shells are in much demand, and are shipped to Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and other cities for use in adulterating spices.
