On July 19, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana filed a libel against 5 cases of butter at New Orleans, La., alleging 
that the article had been shipped on or about June 24, 1943, by Jerpe Dairy 
Products Corporation, from Fayetteville, Ark.; and charging that it was adulter- 
ated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed substance. The 
article was labeled in part: (Retail carton) "Clear Brook Creamery Butter 
Distributed by Wilson & Co.,   *   * . *   Chicago, Ill."
On October 18, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered sold to rendering plants so that it might 
be manufactured into glycerine or other products for use in the war effort,; pro- 
vided that it was not to be used at any time for human consumption.
