8736-p.)
On November 19, 1918, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in - 
the District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
Carl Adler, trading as the Adler Export Co., New Orleans, La, alleging ship- 
ment by the said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or 
about September 10, 1917, from the State of Louisiana into the State of Ala- 
bama, of a quantity of an article, labeled in part " Rice Shorts," which was 
adulterated.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de- 
partment showed the same to contain added ground rice hulls.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that a substance, to wit, ground rice hulls, had been mixed and packed there- 
with so as to lower and reduce and injuriously affect its quality, and for the 
further reason that a substance, to wit, added ground rice hulls, had been 
substituted in part for rice shorts, v/hich the article purported to be.
On May 29, 1920, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $10.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
