nation, forfeiture, and destruction. (P. & D. No. 15823. Inv. No.?
34454.    S. No. C-3493.)
On March 29, 1922, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Missouri, 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 one barrel of cumin seed, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken package at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped?
from Indianapolis, Ind., on or about March 11, 1922, and transported from the?
State of Indiana into the State of Missouri, and charging adulteration and?
misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled?
in part: " Ground Comino James H. Forbes, Tea and Coffee Company, St.?
Louis    *    *    *."
Adulteration
 of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that added?
sand had been mixed and packed with and substituted for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was offered for sale?
under the distinctive name of another article.
On May 3, 1922, 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.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
