ors for the government discovered that
a certain brand of catsup contained
560.000.000 bacteria per cubic centimeter,

A cubic centimeter Is a little less than
a teaapoonful and the inspectors, de
ciding that conditions were crowded,
telegraphed the United States attorney
at Portland to intercept a big shipment
that arrived here Tuesday on the
steamer Cuinino. Yesterday morning
