What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** rather than satirical cartoons. The main elements are: **Advertisements:** - Old Crow Rye whiskey (prominent, upper left) - Gordon Art Co. (art reproductions) - Judge's Quarterly magazine subscription **Short humor pieces and observations:** - A laundry bill joke about shirt washing - A piece defending barbers and barber-shop patrons against snobbish dismissal by "fly-by-night publications" - Miscellaneous witticisms about honesty, coffee addiction, and Roman art **Notable content:** The barber-shop defense is the most substantive piece, arguing that barbers represent all social classes and shouldn't be looked down upon—a mild class-consciousness argument typical of early 1900s American humor magazines. The page reflects Judge's format: mixing advertisements, reader jokes, and brief satirical commentary on everyday social pretensions and minor grievances.

Swindling is the perfection of civiliza- tion.— Voltaire. A GOOD WORD FOR BARBERS. Occasionally we read in some of.the fly-by-night publications, alleged to be de- voted to the interests of newspapers and magazines, flippant reference to a class of the enlightened public which they dif. ferentiate as ‘the barber-shop readers. This classification casts a slur rot only upon the barber-shops, but upon ail their patrons and the publications found on file in the shops. It has been the cus- tom of a good many persons to affect a certain sort of disdain tor the barber, as if wielders of the razor were beneath their notice. Latterly this supercilious disdain has been extended, it seems, to patrons of the barber-shop ‘and publica tions which the barber patronizes. Just why the barber should be regarded as any lower in the social scale than the carpenter, the builder, or the shop- keeper, we cannot understand.

MAY BE COFFEE THE TROUDL THAT CAUSES ALL When the house is afire, it’s like a body when disease begins to show ; it’s no time to talk but time to act—delay is dangerous—remove the cause of the trou- ble at once. “For a number of years,” says a Kan- sas lady, I felt sure that coffee was hurt- ing me, and yet I was so fond of it I could not give it up. I paltered with my appe- | tite and of course yielded to the tempta- tion to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. « Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone—my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action that I feared it would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set_me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism, “Two years ago I stopped using the old kind of coffee and began to use Pos- tum Food Coffee, and from the very first I began to improve, It worked a miracle ! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble, I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, for I haven't used any medi- cine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee.
