demnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 8299.    Sample No. 25211-F.)
On September 2, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Virginia filed a libel against 35 24-pound bags of flour at Petersburg, Va., 
alleging that the article had been'shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
May 5; 1942, by Gwinn Bros. & Co., from Huntington, W. Va.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. 
The article was labeled in part: "Gwinn's Lily White Flour Self-Rising * * ¦, * 
Bleached."
On September 16, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
