What you’re looking at

This page from the satirical magazine *Judge* contains several short humorous anecdotes targeting common social behaviors of the era. The main cartoons mock **economical miserliness**: one depicts a cook describing her employers as misers obsessed with saving money; another shows a schoolboy claiming he's giving his teacher an "absent treatment" due to the teacher's bad temper—a cheeky inversion of discipline. A third jokes about a man's ruddy complexion, suggesting his face "registers more than it consumes" like a gas meter—implying heavy drinking despite claims of moderation. The page also features a serious testimonial about **coffee poisoning**, where a woman describes how switching from regular coffee to Postum (a caffeine-free grain beverage) cured her chronic neuralgic headaches. **Context for modern readers**: These satirize 1910s-era anxieties about excessive frugality, youth disrespect for authority, hidden drinking, and emerging health concerns about caffeine consumption—all common Judge targets reflecting middle-class preoccupations.
