oken packages at Milwaukee, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped

msported from the State of Illinois into the State of Wisconsin, and charg-
? adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act as
tended.   The  article  was  labeled  in part:  (Case)   "6  Cans  I  Gal.  each
sa Ditalia Cotton-seed Oil, flavored with Olive Oil,"  (can)  "Extra Virgin
blime Best For Table And Medical Use   This Oil  Is Guaranteed To Be

ttonseed Oil Rosa Ditalia Brand.   A. Morici & Co Chicago, Ill."
BUREAU  OF  CHEMISTRY ' [Supplement 21 
Adulteration of the article was alleged for the reason that a substance, 
corn oil and cottonseed oil, had been mixed and packed with and substituted 
wholly or in part for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statements " Olio Finissimo 
Extra Virgin Sublime Best For Table And Medical Use " and " This Oil la 
Guaranteed To Be Pure Under Any Chemical Analysis-Contents One Gallon," 
borne on the cans, were false and misleading and deceived and misled the 
purchaser, and the statements " Cottonseed Oil," borne on the can in small 
type, and " Cottonseed Oil Flavored With Olive Oil," borne on the carton 
containing 6 cans of the product, did not correct the misbranding. Misbrand- 
ing was alleged for the further reason that the article was offered for sale 
under the distinctive name of another article, and for the further reason that 
it was food in package form and,the quantity of the contents was not plainly, 
and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On November 7, 1925, M. Catalano Co., Milwaukee, Wis., claimant, having 
admitted the material allegations of the libel 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 $500, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
