laSGT. Adulteration and misbranding of salad mustard. U. S. v. 27 Castes 
of Salad Mustard. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, 
and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 18830.    I. S. No. 20215-v.     S. No. W-1524.)
On September 29, 1924, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and condemna- 
tion of 27 cases of salad mustard, remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Packers 
Supply Co., from Oakland, Calif., on or about May 19, 1924, and transported 
from the State of California into the State of Oregon, and charging adultera- 
tion and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was 
labeled in part:  (Jar) " Palace Car Brand Salad Mustard With Turmeric."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that mustard 
bran had been mixed and packed therewith so as to reduce or injuriously affect 
its quality or strength and had been substituted wholly or in part for the said 
article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was offered for sale 
under the distinctive name of another article and in that the designation 
" Salad Mustard " was false and misleading and deceived and misled the pur- 
chaser when applied to a product containing added mustard bran.
On November 14, 1924, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. JABDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
