many thousands Of pounds of pecan

seventeen thousand pounds of ground
pecan shells in Texas. He says they
were to be used in adulterating cof-
fee. How much coffee already has
been 2Gulterated with the pulverized
shells there is no means of knowing.
1t is believed that enormous quanti-
ties of the adulterant- have been
shipped from Texas the last few
months. Most of the shipments have
been traced to New Orleans. 1t is
alleged by Mr.. Hoffman that coffee
dealers in New Orleans, after adult
