(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF CREAM.
On September 29, 1911, and March 7, 1912, Joseph W. Cordell, of?
Lander, Md., sold and delivered at the Union Station, Washington,?
D. C, a quantity of cream. The health officer of the District of?
Columbia, acting under authority of the Secretary of Agriculture,?
caused samples from the above deliveries to be procured and analyzed.?
As the findings of the analyst and report made indicated that the?
cream was adulterated, the said Joseph W. Cordell was afforded an?
opportunity to present to the health officer 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 20, 1912, informations were filed against the defendant?
Cordell, charging that in each delivery the product was adulterated?
and that a valuable constituent thereof, to wit, butter fat, was left?
out and abstracted in whole or in part, and on the same day the?
defendant entered a plea of guilty to both informations and a fine of?
$5 in each case was imposed by the court.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
