(F. & D. No. 20361.    I. S. No. 38-x.    S. No. W-1762.)
On or about August 4, 1925, the United States attorney for the Northern
District of California, 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 5 cubes of butter, remaining in the original
BUREAU  OF   CHEMISTRY .   [Supplement 206-
tmbroken packages at San Francisco, Calif., alleging that the article had been 
shipped by the Lakeview Creamery Co., from Lakeview, Oreg., July 22, 1925, 
and transported from the State of Oregon into the State of California, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was 
labeled in part: " From Lakeview Creamery, Lakeview, Ore."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a 
substance deficient in milk fat had been substituted wholly or in part for the 
said article, and for the further reason that a valuable constituent, namely, 
milk fat, had been in part abstracted.
On August 18, 1925, the Lakeview Creamery Co., Lakeview, Oreg., having 
appeared as claimant for the property 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 $175, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that 
it be made to conform with the law under the supervision of and to the satis- 
faction of this department.
C. F. MABVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
