On or about November 30, 1937, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 24 boxes 
of candy at Biloxi, Miss., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about September 30 and October 2, 1937, by Moray Candy Co. 
from Mobile, Ala., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The product was labeled in part: "Bay Brand Candies * * * Manu- 
factured by Moray Candy Co. Mobile, Ala."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On March 2, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the property was ordered disposed of in the manner provided 
by law.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
