This page is primarily **advertising**, featuring prominent ads for Miller High Life beer and Packer's Tar Soap, alongside several short humorous anecdotes typical of Judge magazine's satirical content. The cartoons/jokes mock: 1. **President Roosevelt's simplified spelling reform** — A Canton, Ohio reader complains the new spelling rules create confusing homophones (bier/beer, cough/kauff), illustrating the reform's impracticality through absurdist examples. 2. **A newsboy's misleading headline** — He shouts "Nine lives lost!" referring only to a cat being killed, demonstrating how sensationalist newspaper language dupes readers. 3. **Irish-American court defiance** — An Irish witness insults a judge, then claims he wasn't showing "contempt of court" because he didn't respect the court enough to honor it with contempt—a play on logical technicality that satirizes both Irish stubbornness and courtroom pomposity. These represent typical Judge humor: political jabs at Roosevelt, satire of American institutions, and ethnic stereotyping common to the era.

‘A SIMPLIFIED VICTIM. We know the road of the reformer is| not an easy one, If all the difficulties, that he in the way could have been fore- seit by President Roosevelt, it is doubt- fu’ if his simphitied spelling order would exer have come to light, Perhaps he will pot see a communication on this subject that a reader of the Canton News recently sent that paper ; if he does he will sadly regret that he ever gave cause for it. The Canton man plaintively says, * This new spelling bothers me. Now, for in- stance, if you want to say, ‘We will now pass around the bier,” assuming we are at a funeral, does it mean we pass so swiftly from bier to beer? Then again we say, ‘It was a cough that carried him o was a coffin they carried him off in. Would this indicate that there was any harm in cough drops? Or harm in kauf ing 2" Here would appear to be one of the most aggravated cases of the simplified malady yet reported, The difficulty in comprehending the exact meaning of the writer is both lamentable and irritating. But if he could be persuaded to turn his attention from the gloomy subject to which he pathetically refers, it might help some. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. PROVED HIMSELF RIGHT.

An Irishman who was a witness in a case in a justice court, talked smartly to the judge, who finally said, “T shall fine you ten dollars for con- tempt of court.” “I plead not guilty,” said the witness. “Faith, I never thought enough o” yer court to honor it with me contimpt !"— Allanta Constitution, THE DIVISIONS. s ; those who trace their descent to Wiliam the Conqueror or drink."—New York 5 Mr, Footenit—" 1 was under the im- pression I had met you before, Miss Jiggs.” Miss Figgs—« No; you may have met my sister, but not me.” Mr, Footenit—“\ guess that's it; the Miss Jiggs I met was pretty.”— COFFEE IMPORTERS PUBLISH A BOOK ABOUT COFFEE. There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that some of the coffee importers and roasters have taken to type 10 promote the sale of their wares and check if pos- | sible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. In the coffee importers’ book a chapter is headed “Coffee as a Medicine” and advocates its use as such. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughiful person should ' know, that habitual use of any “ medicine” of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whiskey quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in. It’ may show in any one of the many organs of the body, and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant— coffee—and using Postum Food Coffee tor If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia bowel complaint, heart failure, weak eyes, or any other malady set up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your stration in mathematics, * The Paclier Mfg.
