NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2590.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
U. S. v. Powell-Sanders Co.   Plea of guilty.   Fine, $25 and costs.
MISBRANDING OF SAGO.
On January 27, 1913, the United States Attorney for the Eastern 
District of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district an information against the Powell-Sanders Co., a corpora- 
tion, Spokane, Wash., alleging shipment by said company, in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act, on March 21, 1912, from the State 
of Washington into the State of Idaho of a quantity of sago which 
was misbranded. The product was labeled: " Le Roi * * * 
Pearled Sago * * * Packed by Powell-Sanders Co., Spokane, 
Wash.   *   *   *"
Examination of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemis- 
try of this Department indicated that it consisted wholly of cassava 
starch. Misbranding of the product was alleged in the information 
for the reason that the package containing the same bore a state- 
ment, design, and device regarding it which was false and misleading 
in that it was represented to be " sago " when in truth and in fact 
it was tapioca.
On February 14, 1913, the defendant company entered a plea of
guilty to the information and the court imposed a fine of $25 and
costs of $23.40.
