lies. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product 
released under bond. (F. & D. No. 17435. I. S. Nos. 4002-v, 4005-v, 
4007-v, 4008-v.    S. No. C-8958.)
On April 2, 1923, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Wis- 
consin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 76 cases of assorted jellies, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Milwaukee, Wis., alleging that the article had been 
shipped by the Lakeside Preserving Co., Chicago, Ill., in part January 18, and in 
part January 25, 1923, and transported from the State of Illinois into the State 
of Wisconsin, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs 
act. The article was labeled in part: (Jar) " Silver Buckle Brand Apple and 
Strawberry" (or "Apple and Currant" or "Apple and Raspberry" or "Apple 
and Grape") "Jelly."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
products were acidified pectin jellies artificially colored and pectin, had been 
mixed and packed with said products so as to reduce and lower and injuri- 
ously affect their quality and strength and acidified artificially colored pectin 
jellies had been substituted in whole or in part for said articles.
Misbranding of the articles was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
statements appearing in the labeling, " Jelly Apple and Grape," or "Apple and 
Currant," "Apple and Raspberry," "Apple and Strawberry,'-5 as the case might 
be, were false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser.
On May 13, 1924, the Lakeside Preserving Co., Chicago, Ill., claimant, having 
admitted the product to be misbranded and having consented to the entry of a 
decree judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum 
of $100? in conformity with section 10 of the act
