police court of the District aforesaid an information against Albert F. Meen,?
Gaithersburg, Md., alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the?
Food and Drugs Act, on March 18, 1918, and March 25, 1918, from the State?
of Maryland into the District of Columbia, and the introduction into said Dis??
trict, of quantities of milk which was adulterated.

and the court imposed a fine of $20.
