sylvania filed a libel against 44 cases, each containing 24 packages, of the above- 
named product at Lancaster, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce within the period from on or about September 17, 1942, to 
February 23, 1943, by Martin Gillet & Co. from Baltimore, Md.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of filthy sub-
