What you’re looking at
The page features two political cartoons mocking everyday frustrations: **"Better Than a Cobble-Stone"**: A boy (Johnny) threatens an elderly woman (Gampy) with firecrackers, using her head as a test site—satirizing both the recklessness of Independence Day celebrations and generational disrespect. **"Hopeless"**: A wife tells her doctor she needs a change of scene; he responds she doesn't need one—her real problem is her husband's inability to leave his business. The joke critiques American workaholism and suggests the wife's emotional needs are secondary to business demands. The page is primarily **advertising**, featuring endorsements for Evans' Ale, Postum (coffee substitute), Dr. Parker Pray's toiletries, and commercial printing services. A poem "Ballade of the Fourth" satirizes the chaos and injuries of Fourth of July celebrations ("Burning and gore; Arm in a sling"). The Rev. A.W. Stein's testimonial defending beer consumption reflects early-1900s debates over temperance.

From staid old Fitchburg, Mass., comes the voice of 1 rector pleading for the sane use of wine and beer. ‘The Rey. Alexis W. Stein, rector of Christ Episcopal Church of that city, and formerly assistant to th Rainsford at St. George’ New Vor viously, rector of Christ's Chure fn facing conditions as they exis ‘am one of those,” he says, “*who believe in the use of wine and beer. The surest cure for the misuse of them is the proper use of them. The man who drinks beer in his home with his family and children about him will get no harm himself nor do any harm to anyone else because he drinks, The man who spends an hour with a group of friends, among whom are women he respects, over one or two glasses of beer of light wine, as do some European peo- ple, will get no harm from it. The beer gardens of Germany are positive forces for good in the social life of that country.” ‘That is the reverend gentleman's tolerant and rational attitude on the question, and had he gone farther and ‘examined into the merits of the various beers be would have agreed with some of our most eminent physicians that Pabst Bioe Ribbon Beer is tie best means to tem- perance because of its small percentage of alcobol and Ms great food value. He would also have recommended Pabst Bloe Ribbon Beer, as do the doctors, “in air except sterilized and filtered air from the time it is brewed till it is poured into your glass.” That is w! one well-known doctor said of it. Other doctors say Pabst Blue Ribbon Deer is the cleanest, purest, most wholesome beer brewed, and our readers will agree with us that the doctors ought to know.
