age)   "Dry Milk  Solids   *   *   *   Sugar"  and   (display streamers)   "Eggs,
Milk * * * are }n it" were misleading, since they suggested that the prod- 
uct contained all ingredients, with the addition of water, to make coconut 
custard pie filling, whereas it was necessary to add sugar and milk to make 
such filling; Section 403 (d), the container of the article was so filled as to 
be misleading, because the powder mixture occupied only about 54 percent 
of the volume of the package.
