¦ 
On September 11, 1943, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Ohio filed an information against the DeWitt-Nash Company, a corporation, 
at Cleveland, Ohio, alleging shipment on or about March 1, 1943, from the State 
of Ohio into the State of Illinois of a quantity of coffee that was adulterated 
and misbranded.   The article was labeled in part: "EXTRA CAFE COFFEE."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of coffee and chicory 
had been substituted in whole or in part for coffee, which the article was rep- 
resented to be. It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Coffee," 
displayed upon the bags, was false and misleading in that the statement repre- 
sented that the article consisted solely of coffee, whereas it did not consist solely 
of coffee, but consisted of a mixture of coffee and chicory.
On October 21, 1943, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $200.
