destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 2512.    Sample No. 28710-E.)
This product had been stored under insanitary conditions after shipment and 
when examined was found to contain rodent hairs and rodent excreta.
On August 8, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of Vir- 
ginia filed a libel against 98 bags of flour at Bluefield, Va., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 2, 1940, by Bowersock 
Mills & Power Co., from Lawrence, Kans.; and charging that it was,adulterated 
in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The article was 
labeled in part: "World's-Best Flour."
On February 14, 1942, the claimant for the product having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel, judgment was entered ordering that the 19 bags of the product 
which had been seized be destroyed.
