Vanilla beans have materially lost in favor with manufacturers since 

 the introduction of artificial or synthetic vanillin. The new Pure Drug 

 and Food Law will require all vanilla flavors containing synthetic 

 vanillin, tonka beans or coumarin to be labeled "Chemical Compound." 

 This has caused a greatly increased demand for vanilla beans, but as 

 yet the price remains about the same. The Mexican vanilla growers 

 will loudly applaud the new law, for they have been much discouraged 

 during the past few years on account of the inroads which synthetic 

 chemistrv has made upon their business by giving the world vanillin.
