and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 8740.    I. S. No. 10600-p.    S. No. C-798.)
On January 21, 1918, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Missouri, 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 condemnation of 75 barrels, each containing from 33 to 52 gallons?
of apple butter stock, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at?
St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about November?
15, 1917, by Dawson Bros. Mfg. Co., Atlanta, Ga., and transported from the?
State of Georgia into the State of Missouri, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that it consisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On February 11, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
