On November 12, 1925, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 500 sacks of red dog, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at East St. Louis, Ill., consigned by the I. S. Joseph Co., alleging that 
the article had been shipped from Minneapolis, Minn., on or about September 
12, 1925, and transported from the State of Minnesota into the State of Illinois, 
and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs 
act as amended.   The article was unlabeled but was designated as " Red Dog."
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was adulterated in 
violation of section 7, paragraph 2 under food, of the said act, in that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a mixture of ground bran and screenings and a low- 
grade flour.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an imitation of 
and 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 con- 
tents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On April 19, 1926, the I. S. Joseph Co., Inc., Minneapolis, Minn., having 
appeared as claimant for the property and having admitted the allegations of 
the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
?rdered 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 $2,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
W. M. JAKDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
