by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Police Court of the District afore??
said an information against Hugh Hanger, Washington, D. C, alleging the?
sale by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on November?
26, 1913, at the District aforesaid, of a quantity of so-called butter which was?
adulterated, in that another substance, namely, oleomargarine, had been sub??

mation, and the court imposed a fine of $10.
