of g-uilty.    Fine, $150.     (F. & D. No. 8938.    I. S. No. 2653-p.)
On October 22, 1918, the United States attorney for the Western District of?
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district an information against?
Thomas Page, Albion, N. Y., alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act, on October 2, 1917, from the State of New York?
into the State of Massachusetts, of a quantity of an article labeled in part,?
" Tripoli Brand Tomato Sauce * * * Packed by Thomas Page, Albion,?
N. Y., U. S. A.," which was adulterated.
Examination of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Ghemistry of this?
department showed that this paste was manufactured from decomposed?
tomatoes.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that?
it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable?
substance.
On November 12, 1918, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the informa??
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $150.
0. F. MAEVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
