of fluorine.
On May 15, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Arkansas filed a libel against 24 bags of steamed bone meal at Texarkana, 
Ark., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about February 26, 1941, by the Transit Grain & Commerce [Commission] Co. 
from Fort Worth, Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it con- 
tained a poisonous or deleterious ingredient, namely, fluorine. The article 
was labeled in part: "100 Pounds (net) Interstate 20% Protein Steamed 
Bone Meal Manufactured by Interstate By-Products & Supply Company Fort 
Worth, Texas." 

On November 10, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
