No. 991.    Sample No. 61397-D.)
On November 16, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Mississippi filed a libel against 240 bags of flour (on March 18, 1940, the 
libel was amended to read "240 Bags of Flour, more or less"), alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 12, 1939, 
by Mero Mills from Nashville, Tenn.; and charging that it was adulterated in 
that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance. The product was 
labeled in part: "Sky Rocket Self-Rising Snell Milling Co. Nashville, Tenn."
On March 19, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation 
and forfeiture was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
