ADULTEBATION AND MISBEANDING OF BEEE.
On May 27, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Southern?
District of Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri??
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said?
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 60 barrels, each?
containing 10 dozen bottles of beer, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages and in possession of Joseph Eausin, trading?
under the name of the Star Supply Co., Savannah, Ga., alleging that?
the product had been shipped on or about May 8, 1912, by the Monu??
mental Brewing Co., Baltimore, Md., and transported from the?
State of Maryland into the State of Georgia, and alleging adulter??
ation and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.?
The product was labeled: (On barrels) "Pa-Star Supply Co., Savan??
nah, Ga." (On bottles) "Special Export Extra Pale Beer. Brewed?
from the very best Malt and hops."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the rea??
son that grains other than malt had been used in its manufacture?
and the resulting substances mixed and packed with it in such a?
manner as injuriously to affect its quality and strength. Adulter??
ation was alleged for the further reason that little, if any, malt had?
been used in the manufacture of the product and that substances?
made from other grains than malt had been substituted wholly or?
in part for malt in said product. Misbranding was alleged for the?
reason that the product was labeled as set forth above, which label?
was false and misleading in that it would lead the purchasers to be??
lieve that the product was made from malt and hops, whereas, in?
fact, very little if any malt had been used in its manufacture and?
other grains had been substituted wholly or in part for this ingre??
dient.
