What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* (a satirical American magazine) mixes editorial humor with period advertisements. The main content includes: **Editorial Humor ("Mudge" section):** Brief, cynical observations on relationships, ambition, and human nature—typical satirical quips targeting bourgeois pretension and romantic folly. **Sidebar jokes** feature characters named Bacon and Egbert exchanging witty exchanges about beach bills, father's terrible singing, Norwegian fish for poultry, and Swiss tourism—light social satire with no specific political target. **Advertisements** dominate the lower half: Murad cigarettes (emphasizing "delicate richness"), Evans Ale, Huyler's cocoa and biscuits, and a "Keeley Cure" for alcohol/drug addiction—reflecting early 1900s consumer culture and social anxieties. **A prominent anecdote** about an Iowa woman quitting coffee due to nervousness reflects period anxieties about caffeine and women's "delicate" constitutions—a common health concern of the era. The page reflects *Judge*'s formula: satirize everyday middle-class life while advertising consumer products to that same audience.

‘WOMAN. Was the first sinner not A woman? Can you blot That striking fact from life’s historic page ? Has she not, through all time Shared in the deeds of crime Performed by mortals on the world’s broad stage ? But woman, ne’ertheless Is fair, and we who press To our warm hearts the “fairest of the| sex, Should doubt not that truth lies In her bright-beaming eyes. Why should obtrusive doubts our souls perplex ? If woman has destroyed Our peace by having toyed With our fond hearts, what matters it ? Although Sore-stricken, we may live. Live!

NERVOUS WOMAN STOPPED COFFEE AND QUIT OTHER THINGS. No better practical proof that coffee is a drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it. The stomach, too, rebels at being con- tinually drugged with coffee and tea— they both contain the drug—caffeine. Ask your doctor. ‘An Iowa woman tells the old story thus : “Thad used coffee for six years, and was troubled with headaches, nervous- ness and dizziness. In the morning upon rising I used to belch up a sour fluid, regularly. “ Often I got so nervous and miserable I would cry without the least reason, and T noticed my eyesight was getting poor. «After using Postum a while, I ob- served the headaches left me, and soon the belching of sour fluid stopped (water brash from dyspepsia). I feel decidedly different now, and I am convinced that it is because I stopped coffee and began to use Postum. I can see better now, my eyes are stronger. * A friend of mine did not like Postum, but when I told her to make it like it said on the package she liked it all right.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
