by Newton Products Co. from Atlanta, Ga.; and charging that it was adulter- 
ated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance, dirt. The 
article was labeled in part: "Jolly Good Peanut Butter Made from Selected 
Blended Peanuts.   Newton Products Co. Cincinnati, O.   Atlanta, Ga."
