leans, was held up by United States
pure food officials last week on account
of being misbranded. The libel filed by
United States District Attorney Charl-
ton r. Beattie in the matter should
prove very interesting reading to snip
pers and growers alike, as it will enllght-
en- them to some of the technicalties
of the laws covering shipping and brand
ing of fruits. The substance of the in
dlctment or libel is as follows: THAT
said oranges are misbranded and were
misbranded within the meaning and IN
tent of the food and drug act of June
Both, 1906, and are subject to condem-
nation and destruction; that the label or
brand Pineapple indicated that the
packages contained Pineapple oranges,
when in truth and in fact said boxes
did not contain said grade or kind of
oranges. which grade is well known to
the trade by that name, and that said
label therefore was false and mislead.
ing. and that said oranges were further
misbranded in this particular; that by
means of the brand aforesaid, 'Pineap-
ple,' they were offered for sale under
the distinctive name Of another article
than themselves-to wit: genuine Pine
apple oranges, of which they were an
imitation. that the label and brand
aforesaid, to wit: Pineapple, was such
to deceive and mislead the purchaser
into believing that he was buying gen.
uine Pineapple oranges, when in truth
and in fact the oranges contained in
said packages were not genuine Pine
apple oranges, wherefore the premises
considered libelants pray that process
of montion issue in due form and in
accordance with the course of the hon.
orable court against said oranges, and
that same be arrested and seized there
under and that all persons having or
pretending to have an interest in same
may be cited to appear and answer here
to and that in due course said oranges
be condemned and ordered cOniiscated
and forfeited to the United States and
that libelants may have such or other
and further relief as the nature of the
case may require for all and general
relief. Packer.

great is the demand from the farmers
