demnation of 93 cases of tomato puree, at Chicago, Ill. alleging that the article 
had been shipped by the Lapel Canning Co., Lapel, Ind., on February 28, 1920, 
and transported from the State of Indiana into the State of Illinois, and charg- 
ing adulteration in violation of -the Food and Drugs Act.
