This page is primarily **advertising and humor columns**, not political satire. The content consists of: **Main Jokes/Humor:** - A doctor's consultation joke: A senior physician diagnoses "appendicitis" after learning a patient is wealthy, suggesting the diagnosis depends on financial status rather than actual illness—satirizing medical ethics. - Several short jokes about courtship, laziness, and social pretension typical of early 20th-century magazine humor. **Advertisements:** The page features prominent ads for Packer's Tar Soap, Sohmer Pianos, Optimo Cigars, and Abbott's Angostura Bitters—standard commercial content. **Notable:** One joke mocks wealthy socialites ("Cholly") and their treatment of social inferiors, reflecting class consciousness common in the era. **Overall:** This is a miscellaneous humor/advertising page rather than focused political or social satire. The jokes reflect period attitudes about class, gender, and professional ethics without addressing specific political events or figures.

The young doctor was very proud at being called into consultation. «T have summoned you, doctor,” said the great physician, “ because you knew young Cashley at college. Have you re- liable information as to his financial con- dition ?” « Yes, sir. own name.” “Very well, sir. That will do.

CHANGE FOOD, SOME VERY FINE RESULTS FOLLOW, The wrong kind of food will put the in such a diseased condition that no medicines will cure it. There is no way but to change food. A man in Missouri says: * For two years I was troubled so with my nerves that sometimes I was prostrated and could hardly ever get in a full month at my work. “My stomach, back and head would throb so [could ‘get no rest at night ex- cept by fits and starts, and always had distressing pains. « [was quite certain the trouble came from my stomach, but two physicians could not help me and all the tonics failed, and so finally I turned to food. “ When I had studied up on food and learned what might be expected from leaving off meat and the regular food | had been living on, I felt that a change to Grape-Nuts would be just what was re- quired, so I went to eating it. “From the start I got stronger and better until 1 was well again, and from that time I haven't used a bit of medicine, for I haven't needed any. “Tam so much better in every way, sleep soundly nowadays and am free from the bad dreams. Indeed, this food has made such a great change in me that my wife and daughter have taken it up and we are never without Grape-Nuts on our table nowadays, It is a wonderful sus- tainer, and we frequently have nothing else at all but a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast or supper.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Good food and good rest. These are the tonics that succeed where all the bot- tled tonics and drugs fail. Ten days’ trial of Grape-Nuts will show one the road to health, strength and vigor. ‘ There's a reason.” Look in each package for the famous little book, * ‘The Road to Wellville.” THE “SOHMER” HEADS THE LIST OF THE HIGHEST GRADE PIANOS SOHMER PIANOS Sohmer Bullding, mlerroom Sree ew Sth Ave., cor 22d Bt.
