In "dry" America, where the "cranks" come from, chocolates arc said to be taking the place of the now prohibited whisky. Fortunes equal to those formerly made in oil or rubber are being made in the manufacture and sale of confectionery. America always was the country of candy of every description, and even 30 year's 'ago, ran Franco close in the manufacture of the finest and most costly sweets. In 1850 all the candy made in America was worth no more than half a million pounds: in 1913. the year before the war, it had risen to nearly 13 million pounds.
