feiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 13876..    I.  S. No.  13602-t.     S. No.
E-2860.)
On November 20, 1920. the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and 
condemnation of 3 kegs of nonalcoholic beverages, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at East Point, Ga., consigned by the Red Cross Mfg. Co., St. 
Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about September 27, 
1920, and transported from the State of Missouri into the State of Georgia, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The kegs were 
labeled in part, " Orange Non Alcoholic Cli-co Artificial Flavor And Color 
Orange Flavor Sweetened with Saccharin," and " Cherry Non Alcoholic Chi-co 
Artificial Flavor and Color Cherry Flavor Sweetened with Saccharin," and 
"Port Cordial Non Alcoholic Cli-co Artificial Flavor And Color Port Cordial 
Flavor Sweetened with Saccharin," " * * * Guaranteed by Red Cross Mfg. 
Co. St. Louis, Mo."
Adulteration of the article "was alleged hr the libel "for the reason that a 
product having no food value, to wit, saccharin, had been mixed and packed 
with said article so as to reduce and lower and injuriously affect its quality, 
and had been substituted wholly or in part for said article. Adulteration was 
alleged for the further reason that the article contained an added deleterious 
ingredient, to wit, saccharin, which might render it injurious to health.
. On January 24, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it .was ordered.by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
