$25 and costs.     (JB\ & D. No. 5779.    I. S. No. 12747-e.)
On November 7, 1914, the United States attorney for the Western District of?
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district an information against?
Joseph C. E. Hupp, Vienna, Pa., alleging shipment by said defendant, in viola??
tion of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about June 13, 1913, from the State of?
Pennsylvania into the State of West Virginia, of a quantity of milk which?
was adulterated. The product was labeled: (On can) " J. C. R. Hupp, B. & O.?
Vienna, Pa." (On tag) " WTien full forward to F. & O. Dairy Co., Wheeling,?
Corner Sixteenth and Chapline Street."
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed the following results:
Pat   (per cent)?
      3.55
Solids by drying (per cent)?
    11.24
Specific  gravity?
1. C265
Solids not fat (percent)?
      7.69
Refraction at 20? C?
      38.9
Nitrate test: Positive.
Sediment: Objectionable amount.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the information for the reason?
that a substance, to wit, added water, was mixed with the article so as to?
reduce, lower and injuriously affect its quality; and further, in that it consisted?
wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal or vegetable sub??
stance, to wit, dirt and sediment.
On November 16, 1914, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere to?
the information, and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
