NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2387.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OP WHEAT BRAN.
On November 26, 1912, the United States Attorney for the South- 
ern District of Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 300 sacks, each 
containing approximately 100 pounds of so-called pure wheat bran, 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages, and in the 
possession of Smith Bros., Augusta, Ga., alleging that the product 
had been shipped on or about November 9, 1912, by the Dunlop 
Milling Co., Clarksville, Tenn., and transported from the State of 
Tennessee into the State of Georgia, and charging adulteration and 
misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product 
was labeled: " 100 lbs. pure wheat bran, manufactured by the Dunlop 
Milling Co. Clarksville, Tenn. guaranteed analysis protein 14.75, 
fat 4.00, crude fibre 9.50, carbo hydrates 57.50, ingredients—made 
from pure wheat."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it was mixed with wheat screenings, such not being bran as the 
product purported to contain, but being refuse products of the mill, 
and therefore the feed w: s by said screenings lowered, reduced, and 
injuriously affected in its quality and strength, and for the further 
reason that said screenings were substituted in part for bran. Mis- 
branding was alleged for the reason that the sacks containing the 
product bore no statement that it was composed in part of screenings, 
but on the contrary indicated that it was pure wheat bran and there 
was nothing in the branding and labeling to indicate said screenings.
On December 28, 1912, the said Dunlop Milling Co., claimant, hav- 
ing admitted the allegations in the libel and consented to a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
further ordered that the product should be released and delivered to 
said claimant upon payment of all the costs of the proceedings and 
the execution of bond in the sum of $400 in conformity with section
10 of the Act.
W. M. HAYS,
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
