On August 24, 1926, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure andH 
condemnation of 150 pounds of butter, remaining in the original unbroken pack- 
ages at Superior, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped by Wilson &^ 
Co., from Duluth, Minn., on or about August 13, 1926.' and transported from the'' 
State of Minnesota into the State of Wisconsin, and charging adulteration anisU 
misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled icr 
part: (carton) "Lake View Creamery Butter * * * Lake View Butter- 
Sweet-Pure-Delicious W Wilson & Co."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a sub 
stance deficient in butterfat had been mixed and packed therewith so as td'" 
reduce and lower and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and had been 
substituted wholly or in part for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statements " Creameryt 
Butter " and " Lake View Butter, Sweet-Pure," borne on the label, were false* 
and misleading and deceived and misled purchasers, and that the article wa^ 
offered for sale under the distinctive name of butter.
On November 15, 1926, by consent of the parties in interest, a decree wa$ 
entered, adjudging the product adulterated and misbranded, and ordering that 
it be destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. JARDINB, Secretary of Agriculture.
