Chocolate.

In South America the retail price for
about 81 pound, while in Italy,
France, England and in the United
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate OF trade sells for about one
third of the price that is charged for 1t
where 1t is produced. The cause of
this, the producers say, Is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching Its final market. a
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion Of 90
per cent OF the chocolates Of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured Is produced In its fin
est form In Venezuela, though various
other parts OF Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
Sists simply in grinding up the beans
into a meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroOt, with the necessary flavor,
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
Is moistened until IL Is In a semifiuid
state, after which it Is run into molds
