5886. Adulteration of milfe.    U. S.   *   *    *   v. Abraham J. Minlrin.    Plea of
guilty.    Fine, $30.     (F. & D. No. 347-c.)
On November 19, 1917, the United States attorney for the District of Colum- 
bia, acting upon a report by the health officer of said District, filed in the police 
court of the District aforesaid an information against Abraham J. Minkin, 
Duley, Md., alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on September 18, 1917, and September 25, 1917, from the State of 
Maryland into the District of Columbia, of quantities of milk which was 
adulterated.
Adulteration of the article in each shipment was alleged in the information 
for the reason that it had been mixed and packed with a substance, to wit, 
water, which reduced and lowered its quality.
On November 19, 1917, the defci ant entered a plea of guilty to the informa- 
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $30.
