On October 21, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Mary- 
land filed a libel against 4,875 bags of flour at Baltimore, Md., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the period from 
April 8 to May 26, 1939, Inclusive, by the Northwestern Elevator & Mill Co. 
from Toledo, Ohio; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in 
whole or in part of a filthy substance. It was labeled in part: "Cracker 
Sponge Flour."
On November 22, 1939, judgment of condemnation was entered, and the 
product was ordered released to the claimant under bond conditioned that 
it should not be disposed of in violation of the law. It was denatured by 
the addition of meat scrap and was relabeled: "Duck Feed Not For Human 
Consumption."
