On March 11, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- 
setts, 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 400 30-pound cans of frozen whole eggs, at Boston, Mass., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by the National Biscuit Co., from 
New York, N. Y., February 19, 1925, and transported from the State of New 
York into the State of Massachusetts, and charging adulteration in violation 
of the food and drugs act.    The article was labeled: " N. B. C. Whole."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance.
On April 8, 1925, the National Biscuit Co. having entered an appearance as 
claimant for the property and having filed a bond in the sum of $200', in con- 
formity with section 10 of the act, judgment of condemnation was entered, 
and it was ordered by the court that the product might be released to the said 
claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings.
It. W. DUNLAP, Aoting Secretary of Agriculture.
