ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On or about October If and October 27, 1911, Edward T. SchaefTer,?
of Arabj, Md., sold and delivered at tbe Union Station, Washington,?
D. C, a quantity of milk. The 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 milk?
was adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, the?
said Edward T. SchaefTer was afforded an opportunity to present to?
the health office evidence showing any fault or error in the findings?
of the analyst, but failed to avail himself of the same, and the?
facts were reported to the United States Attorney for the District of?
Columbia.
On March 3, 1912, an information was filed against the said Schaef-?
fer, charging that in each shipment the milk was adulterated in that?
it had been mixed and packed with a substance, to wit, water, which?
reduced and lowered its quality. On the same day the defendant?
appeared in court and entered a plea of guilty, and a fine of $10 was?
imposed on each count by the court.
