U. S. v. George Scliwelir.   Plea, of guilty.   Fine, $ 100 and coats.
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On June 1, 1908, the United States Attorney for the Southern Dis- 
trict of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district an 
information against George Schwehr, Pierron, 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. 0223
Total solids (per cent) 
10.77 
9.26
Fat   (per cent) 
3.1 
3.1
Non-fatty solid's (per cent) 
7.67 
6.16
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 December 21, 1908, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to 
the information and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
