No. 8991-D.)

On January 20, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Indiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 100 pounds of nut meats 
at Hammond, Ind., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Queen 
Anne Candy Co. from Hammond, Ind., to Joliet, Ill., and that it had been re- 
turned on December 29, 1937, by the consignee, the Honest John Corporation, 
Joliet, Ill., to the Queen Anne Candy Co., and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Queen Anne 
Quality Nut Meats."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On March 8, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation, 
with order of destruction, was entered.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
