filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a 
libel for the seizure and condemnation of 396 boxes of oranges re- 
maining unsold in the original unbroken packages on the premises 
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co., Baltimore, Md., alleging that 
The product had been transported from the State of California into 
the State of Maryland and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The product was labeled: "Mutual Brand
