of 32 boxes of macaroni, at Perth Amboy, N. J., alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the National Noodle Co., New York, N. Y., on or about June 
23, 1926, and transported from the State of New York into the State of New 
Jersey, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food 
and drugs act. The arlicle was labeled in part: " Tripoline (or " Margnertine" 
or "Farfalio" or "Tagiiatelli") Bologna Style    *    *    *    Artificially Colored."

colored in a manner whereby inferiority was concealed.
