On December 15, 1913, the United States attorney for the District of Co??
lumbia, acting upon a report by the Health Officer of said District, authorized?
by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed an information in the Police Court of?
the District aforesaid against George Zagos, Washington, D. C, alleging the?
sale by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on October?
30, 1913, at the District aforesaid, of a quantity of so-called butter which was?
adulterated and misbranded. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the?
information for the reason that another substance, oleomargarine, had been?
substituted for butter in whole or in part. Misbranding was alleged for the?
reason that the product was an imitation of butter and was offered for sale?
and sold under the distinctive name of another article of food.
On December 15, 1913, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the informa??
tion and the court imposed a fine of $10.
