ADULTERATION OF CREAM.
On or about April 16, 1910, Arthur Swart, Ashburn, Va., sold and?

cream. Dr. William C. Woodward, health officer of the District of?
Columbia, acting under authority of the Secretary of Agriculture,?
caused a sample from the above delivery to be procured and?
analyzed. As the findings of the analyst and report made indicated?
that the cream was adulterated within the meaning of the Food and?
Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the said Arthur Swart was afforded?
an opportunity for hearing, and as it appeared after the hearing?
held that the said sale was in violation of the act, the said health?
officer reported the facts to the United States attorney for the Dis??
trict of Columbia.
In due course a criminal information against the said Arthur?
Swart was filed in the Police Court of the District of Columbia,?
charging that the cream was adulterated, in that a valuable con??
stituent of the article, to wit, fat, had been left out and abstracted?
wholly or in part.
On July 8, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the?
court imposed a fine of $10.
