NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2682. (Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drags Act.) V. S. v. Mrs. C. Taylor. Flea of guilty. Fine, $100 and costs. ADULTERATION OF MILK. On June 1, 1908, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri- culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis- trict an information against Mrs. C. Taylor, Troy, Ill., alleging ship- ment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on October 15,' 1907, from the State of Illinois into the State of Missouri, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated. Analyses of samples of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of this Department showed the following results: Sample No. 1. Sample No. 2. Specific gravity 1.0282 1.0272 Total solids (per cent) 12.10 10.64 Fat (per cent) 4.2 3.2 Non-fatty solids (per cent) 7.90 7.44 Adulteration of the product was alleged in the information for the reason that it had been watered, that is to say, had water packed and mixed with it and contained an excess of water, which reduced and lowered its strength and quality. On November 19, 1908, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs. B. T. GALLOWAY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture. WASHINGTON, D.
