(P. & D. No. 6560.    I. S. Nos. 7394-e, 7395-e, 7396-e, 7397-e, 7399-e, 7400-e,?
13001-e.)
On May 24, 1916, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Ohio, 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 Ohio?
and Pittsburgh Milk Co., a corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging shipment by?
said company, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on June 25,1913, from the?
State of Ohio into the State of Pennsylvania, of a quantity of milk which was?
adulterated.
Analyses of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed the following results:
The above results show that a portion of the fat has been re??
moved in samples 1. 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, and that water has been added?
* in sample 4.?
Adulteration of a portion of the milk in the shipment was alleged in the?
information for the reason that a valuable constituent?to wit, butter fat?had?
been in part abstracted therefrom.    Adulteration of the remainder of milk in?
the shipment was alleged for the reason that water had been mixed and packed?
therewith so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality and strength.?
On January 31, 1917, the defendant company entered a plea of nolo contendere?
to the information, and the court imposed a fine of $50 and costs.
