sent   decree   of  condemnation   and- forfeiture.     Product   released 
under bond.     (P. & D. No. 18900.    I. S. No. 16512-v.    S. No. E.^956.)
On August 7, 1924, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Florida, 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 condemnation of 175 sacks of corn meal, remaining in the original un- 
broken packages at Jacksonville, Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the Juliette Milling Co., from Macon, Ga., on or about July 17, 1924, and 
transported from the State of Georgia into the State of Florida, and charging 
misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act as amended. The article 
was labeled in part: (Sack) "Juliette Meal 100 Lbs. When Packed * * * 
Juliette Milling Co., Macon, Ga."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
statement " 100 Lbs. "When Packed" was false and misleading and deceived 
and misled the purchaser, and for the further reason that it was food in pack- 
age form and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously 
marked on the outside of the package.
On August 29, 1924, the Juliette Milling Co., Macon, Ga., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a 
decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it Avas 
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 $900, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that 
the sacks be relabeled or refilled so that the said labels should correctly describe 
the product.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
