Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the ( 
district court an information against the D. B. Scully Syrup C, a corporation, 
Chicago, Ill., alleging shipment by said company, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on or about December 13, 1932, from the State of Illinois into the 
State of Michigan, of a quantity of apple butter which was adulterated. The 
article was labeled in part: " Scully's Pure Apple Butter * * * Packed by 
D. B. Scully Syrup Co., Chicago, Ill."

company, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
