On November 13, 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 the 
Steinlage Sanitary Milk Co., a corporation, St. -Louis, Mo., doing business at 
Worden, Ill., alleging shipment by said company, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on or about August 12, 1916, and August 17, 1916, from the State 
of Illinois to the State of Missouri, of quantities of milk which was adulterated.
Examination of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed the same to be filthy and decomposed.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On January 7, 1918, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the 
information, and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
CARL VROOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
