a libel against 35 bales each containing 20 bags, and 108 bales each containing 
10 bags, of pancake and waffle flour at Portland, Greg., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce On or about February 14, 1942, from 
Weiser, Idaho, and that it was in possession of Safeway Stores, Inc.; and charg- 
ing that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy

might have become contaminated with filth. The article was labeled in part:
