What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with humor interspersed**—typical of Judge's format. The main content includes: **Advertisements:** Colgate & Co.'s Barbers' Shaving Soap (with instructions), Barbarossa bottled beef, Moerlein's Beer, Dr. Lee's Stomach Drafts, and Old Dominion Line steamships dominate the layout. **Humor section:** A collection of brief jokes and anecdotes in the center-right. Most are light social commentary—a joke about generals not doing the killing, cigarette smoking affecting work fitness, doctor's bills, and notably, a reference to **William Jennings Bryan's visit to Copenhagen**, where a Danish woman naively asks if he's "that used to run for the presidency"—mocking Bryan's failed presidential campaigns. **"Latest Novelty" cartoon:** A child asks her mother for radium powder, having read about it in newspapers—satirizing public fascination with the newly-discovered element and media hype around it. The page reflects early-1900s concerns: patent medicines, smoking, Bryan's political prominence, and scientific novelties.

» Colgate Cos. BARBERS To get the best results from the use of Colgate & Co.'s Barbers’ Shaving Soap, the lather should be made on the face. This insures a more comfortable shave with less effort for the barber. USE PLENTY OF WATER AND LITTLE SOAP Turn the brush on the soap two or three times and then work up the lather on the face, and you will find it becomes richer and more creamy the longer you work it up. The advantage gained by making the lather on the face is that you havea thinner lather at the start, thus more thor- oughly and easily reaching the roots of the beard and softening it. If any water should remain in your cup it will not injure our soap, which NEVER BECOMES SLIMY OR STRINGY Ifa barber cannot make a perfect lather, which remains moist on his customer's face, it is entirely his own fault.
