upon a report by the health officer of said District, filed in the police court of the?
District aforesaid an information against John J. Bowles, Washington, D. C, alleging?
that said defendant, on May 8, 1918, at the District aforesaid, in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act, did offer for sale and sell a quantity of milk which was adulterated.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that a valu??
able constituent, to wit, butter fat, had in part been abstracted so as to lower and reduce?
its quality.
On August 7, 1918, the case having been called and the defendant having failed to?
appear, the $20 that had been deposited by him as collateral to insure his appearance?
was forfeited by order of the court.
