5763.   Adulteration of   milk.     II.   S.    *      *     *     v.   John   Stoclcamp.     Plea   of
guilty.   Fine, $25 and costs.     (F. & D. No. 8123.    I. S. No. 10940-m.)
On August 10, 1917, the United States attorney for the Southern District 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 John Stoc- 
kamp, Litchfield, Ill., alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act, on or about August 10, 1916, from the State 'of Illinois 
into the State of Missouri, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated.
Analysis a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- 
ment showed that it contained added water.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
a substance, to wit, water, had been mixed and packed therewith so as to lower 
or reduce and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and had been sub- 
stituted in part for milk, which the article purported to be.
On August 18, 1917, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
CAUL VROOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
