Act, on November 13, 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, namely,?

another article of food.
On December 30, 1913, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on the?
above by the defendants, and the court imposed a fine of $10.
