On August 4, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Alabama, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of six cartons of candy at 
Birmingham, Ala.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about October 29, 1937, by Luden's, Inc., from Reading, Pa.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.

tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
