v. HO Gallons of Ice Cream Flavor. Default decree of condemna- 
tion, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 13687. I. S. No. 7S10-t. 
S. No. B-2643.)
On September 16, 1920, the United States attorney for the Middle District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the 
seizure and condemnation of 10 gallons of ice cream flavor which had been 
represented to be high grade vanilla extract, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages at Huntingdon, Pa., alleging that the article had been 
shipped by the W. B. Wood Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo., on or about June 14, 
1920, and transported from the State of Missouri into the State of Pennsyl- 
vania, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, " A-XXX Ice Cream Flavor 
Concentrated    *    *    *"
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that vanillin 
coumarin solution had been mixed and packed with, and substituted wholly 
or in part for, the said ice cream flavor, and for the further reason that it 
was colored in a manner whereby its inferiority was concealed.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that the statement, 
"A-XXX Ice Cream Flavor Concentrated," was false and misleading and 
deceived and misled the intending purchaser thereof, and for the further 
reason that it was an imitation of, and was offered for sale under a distinc- 
tive name of, another article.
On June 25, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
