Fine, $25 and costs.     (E. & D. No. 8666.    L S. No. 9508-m.)
On February 6, 1918, the United Stated attorney for the District of Connecti??
cut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district an information against Jacob Reia,?
Franklin, Conn., alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act, on or about April 17, 19l7, from the State of Connecticut into?
the State of Rhode Island, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart??
ment showed the following results:
Fat, by Babcock (per cent)?
?2.50
Total solids, by drying (per cent)?
?10.09
Specific gravity  (60? F.)?
?1.0277
Total solids, calculated (per cent)?
?9.92
Solids, by drying minus fa-t (per cent)?
?7.59
Solids, by calculation mimis fat (per cent)?
?7.42
The milk contains added water.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that?
a substance, to wit, water, had been mixed and packed therewith so as to lower,?
reduce, and injuriously affect its quality, and had been substituted in part for?
milk, which the article purported to be.
On February 26, 1918, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the infor??
mation, and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
O. F. MAEVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
