* * *. Default decrees of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruc- 
tion or sale. (F. & D. Nos. 13836, 13980. I. S. Nos. 1349-t, 2318M:. S. Nos. 
C-2568, C-2600.)
On October 30 and November 30, 1920, respectively, the United States attor- 
ney for the Eastern District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary 
of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis- 
trict libels for the seizure and condemnation of 10 cases and 19 cases, more 
or less, of Waukesha Water, consigned by W. H. Anderson, Waukesha, Wis., 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Centralia, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been shipped from Waukesha, Wis., on or about August 
6 and October 29, 1920, respectively, and transported from the State of Wis- 
consin into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration and misbranding in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, "An- 
derson's Genuine Waukesha Water The Best By Test * * * Natural Min- 
eral Water   W. H. Anderson, Proprietor Natural Spring Water."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid, animal or 
vegetable substance.
Misbranding was alleged with respect to a portion of the article for the 
reason that the statement on the label, "Best By Test," was false and mis- 
leading and deceived and misled the purchaser.
On February 21, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, 
judgments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered 
by the court that the product be destroyed or sold by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
