oysters at Griffin, Ga., alleging that the. article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about November 16, 1940, by Travers Bros. Co. from Balti- 
more, Md.; and charging that it was adulterated in that water had been sub- 
stituted in part therefor, and in that water had been added to and mixed and 
packed with it so as to increase its bulk and weight and reduce its quality. It 
was labeled in part: "Blue Cross Brand Fresh Oysters."

tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
