1 USS. Adulteration and misbranding of feeds.     V. S. v. Ernest F. Schreiber 
and Corydon T.  Schreiber.     Pleas of guilty.     Fine, $20 and eosts. 
(F. & D. No. 17922.    I. S." Nos. 6514-v, 6526-v.) 
On March 31, 1924, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
Ernest F. Schreiber and Corydon T. Schreiber, formerly copartners, trading 
as Schreiber Flour & Cereal Co., Kansas City, Mo., alleging shipment by said- 
defendants, in violation of the food and drugs act, in two shipments, on or 
about August 9, 1922, and September 6, 1922, respectively, from the State of 
Missouri into the State of Arkansas, of quantities of feeds which were adul- 
terated and misbranded. The consignment of August 9, 1922, was labeled 
in part: (Tag) "Wheat Shorts and Screenings * * * Ingredients: 
Wheat Shorts, Screenings with Bran Siftings not to exceed 8% 
Manufactured By Schreiber Flour & Cereal Co. Kansas City, Missouri." 
The consignment of September 6, 1922, was labeled in part: (Tag) "Flour 
Middlings & Screenings * * * Ingredients: Wheat Shorts, Low Grade 
Flour, Wheat Mixed Feed with Maximum 8% Wheat Scgs. Manufactured By 
Schreiber Flour & Cereal Co. Kansas City, Mo."
Adulteration of each consignment was alleged in the information for the 
reason that an article which contained ground wheat bran and corn meal, and 
which contained little, if any, wheat shorts, had been substituted for the said 
article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statements, to wit, " Wheat 
Shorts and Screenings * * * Ingredients: Wheat Shorts, Screenings with 
Bran Siftings not to exceed S%," borne on the labels of the consignment of 
August 9, 1922, and the statements, to wit, " Flour Middlings & Screenings 
* * * Ingredients: Wheat Shorts, Low Grade Flour, Wheat Mixed Feed 
with Maximum 8% Wheat Scgs.,"-borne on the labels of the consignment of 
September 6, 1922, were false and misleading, in that the said statements 
represented that the former consisted of wheat shorts and screenings, with 
bran siftings not to exceed 8 per cent, and that the latter was composed of 
flour middlings and screenings, wheat shorts, low grade flour, ? and wheat 
mixed feed with a maximum of 8 per cent wheat screenings, and for the 
further reason that the articles were labeled as aforesaid so as to deceive 
and mislead the purchaser into the belief that they contained the said declared 
ingredients, whereas they were not so composed but were composed in part 
of a product which contained ground wheat bran and corn meal, and which 
contained little, if any, wheat shorts. '
On February 2, 1926, the defendants entered pleas of guilty to the informa- 
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs against each defendant.
