U. S. v. Ed Lebert.     Plea of guilty.     Flue, $ 100 and costs.
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On July 23, 1908, the United States Attorney for the Eastern Dis- 
trict of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agricul-; 
ture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district 
an information against Ed Lebert, Lebanon, Ill., alleging shipment 
by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on Sep- 
tember 30, 1907, from the State of Illinois into the State of Mis- 
souri, 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. Sample No. 3. 
Specific gravity                                  1.0259 1.0254 1.0259
Total  solids   (per cent) 
12.0 12.23 11.64
Fat (per cent) 
4.6 
4.9 
4.3
Non-fatty solids (per cent) 7.4 
7.33 7.34
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the information for 
the reason that it had mixed and packed therewith water, so as to 
reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and 
for the further reason that water had been substituted in part for 
milk.
On November 6,1908, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the 
information and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
