NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2692.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
U. S. v. Adam  Schmitt.   Plea 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 Agricul- 
ture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district 
an information against Adam Schmitt, Troy, Ill., alleging shipment 
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.
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry 
of this Department showed the following results: Specific gravity, 
1.0255; total solids, 11.18 per cent; fat, 4.0 per cent; non-fatty solids, 
7.18 per cent. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the infor- 
mation 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 26, 1908, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to 
the information and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
