sent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product ordered re- 
leased on bond.     (F. & D. No. 8285.     I. S. No. 12238-m.     S. No. C-704.)      ,
On July 6, 1917, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Mis- 
souri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condem- 
nation of 3 barrels of gelatin, remaining unsold in the original unbroken pack- 
ages at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
May 3, 1917, by the W. K. Jahn Co., Chicago, Ill., and transported from the 
State of Illinois into the State of Missouri, and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, " Ice Cream 
Special Olathe."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
tained certain added poisonous and deleterious ingredients, viz., arsenic, copper, 
and zinc, and was of a deleterious character and unfit for use as food.
On October 24,1917, the said W. K. Jahn Co., claimant, having filed an answer 
to the libel and a claim for the property,' judgment of condemnation and for- 
feiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product should 
be released to said claimant to be used for purposes other than for food, upon 
the payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in 
the sum of $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
GAEL VROOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
