Cincinnati, Ohio. June a2.-John Company pleaded nolo contendere in the United States District Court yes- | terday to an indictment charging him with sending obscene and indecent literature In interstate commerce, the books complained of being the De cameron" of Boccaccio and the works of Rabelais. He was fined sl,oo0 by Judge Peck. He paid the fine. Postoffice Inspector Angler, who brought the charges against Mir, Kidd, told the court that, posing as high school student, he had entered into negotiations with the book company for the purchase of the unexpurgated editions of the two old classics. The books were shipped by express. Mir Kidd was indicted by the April Grand Jury, but the charges were invali- dated on technicality The June Grand Jury renewed the indictment.
 In sentencing MT. Kidd, Judge Peck said
 The fact that the works of Boc- caccio and Rabelais are classics does not exempt them from the law as en- acted by Congress The existence of eXpurgated editions of these works is conclusive evidence that certain DOT tions of them are not fit to be read by the average person.

SaIlalt Relieved Awful Suffering From
 Sleeplessness

Any one who has suffered from in- somnia or sleepessness, knows what intense agony there is for one who re- mains awake during the darkness and stiffness of the night. Very often peo- pie who are afflicted by sleplessness t"ke narcotic drugs or stimulants, to secure only temporary relief, when they should find the cause of the sleeplessness and remove it.
 One cannot expect to sleep peace fully when the stomach is distended by gas, the temperature is kept at fever heat through constipation, or nervousness as resulting from weak. watcry blood.
 Miss Sadie E. Welch Of 1705 Elm St., Mancheser, N. H., says;-
 ''I was suffering terribly from in- somnia. Medicine the doctor gave me only made me sleep a little while at at time, and gave no real relief When 3 friend recommended Sanalt I did not see how it could help me, until it was called to my attention that I was suffering from stomach trouble, and was very much constipated So I was 'h'uStu eo u y IL. loCloiS IldI ldktIl a full bottle, the constipation has pass ed. my stomach seemed all right, and although it at first surprised me to be able to sleep so well, I soon realiz- ed Sanalt had removed the troubles that kept me awake. As soon as I was again able to sleep became much less nervous, and my appetite very rapidly improved So l feel an ever- lasting debt of gratitude for Sanalt, and cannot praise it enough"
 This is good example of the ne cessity of people who are suffering trying to remove the cause, rather than the effect There is only one way to MAKE a person sleep, and that is by drugging them, and of course if the sleepessness is from a purely nervous trouble. from worry, or over work, Sanalt alone will not relieve it, but in many cases sleeplessness comes from some trouble with stomach, liver kidneys, bowels or blood, and for such sufferers from the terrors of insomnia, there is nothing better than Sanalt.
