On or about December 20, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Mississippi filed a libel against 140 bags of flour at Columbus, Miss., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the 
period from on or about February 4 to on or about September 28, 1939, by 
Ismert-Hincke Milling Co. from Topeka, Kans.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance. It

was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be denatured so that it 
could not be disposed of for human consumption but might be used as stock 
feed.
