tion.     (F. & D. No. 8903.    I. g. No. 6806-p.    S. No. E-1002.)
On March 26, 1918, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 29 cases of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped?
on or about December 22, 1917, by the Booth Packing Go., Baltimore, Md., and?
transported from the State of Maryland into the State of Georgia, and charging?
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled?
in part, " Diamond Brand Tomato Pulp."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On October 21, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
