This page from *Judge* magazine (undated, but appears early 20th century) contains mostly **advertisements and short humor pieces** rather than political cartoons. **Key content:** - **"A Nemesis"** joke: satirizes female office-seekers pestering senators for positions—a swipe at women's political ambitions in the Progressive Era - **"Hint to Employers"**: dark humor about employees using baseball season as excuse for absences due to relatives' deaths - **"The Spring Craze"** poem: mocks amateur suburban gardeners who read how-to books, believing they can quickly succeed at farming despite past failures—gentle satire of optimistic self-improvement culture - **"Friends Help"**: testimonial advertisements for Postum (caffeine-free coffee substitute) and Williams Shaving Soap, using anecdotal "cures" for ailments The **large illustration** depicts what appears to be a physical altercation or arrest scene, captioned "A Perfect Fit," but the context remains unclear from visible text. The page is primarily **commercial**, using humor and endorsements typical of early 20th-century magazine advertising.

A New York piano-tuner sent the fol- lowing notice to a customer: “Dear sir—We will call Wednesday afternoon to tune the piano and beg to remain, Very respectfully yours.” The tone of the Sohmer Piano is particularly distinguished on account of its volume and| purity, its richness and singing quality, and its hetic character throughout the entire THE SPRING CRAZE. Now the man who sore is bitten With that mania seldom cured Of his own suburban garden, Sits him at his library table Full of literature that's seedy, Catalogues and price of plantings, Magazines with fairy stories, How to make farms of one acre Pay a princely income straightway ; How to make an easy fortune Out of a ten-dollar greenhouse ; How to learn in thirteen lessons All that farmers of years’ standing Know by lives of work and study. But the man possessed with mania Of self-grown suburban gardens Reads all this with firm conviction. Digs and spades and hies forth shopping For the seeds of come-up-quick goods. Now he toils with patient labor, And his heart is joy and gladness, For, despite his last year's failures, Never doth a man recover From that mania of the springtime Of self-made suburban gardens. —Baltimore American. FRIENDS HELP. ST. PAUL'S PARK INCIDENT. “ After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nerv~ ous derangement of the heart an¢l stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down, “At other times I had severe head- aches; stomach finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had seri- ous chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President ot | the W.C.T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee ; she was trou- bled for years with asthma, She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an ar- ticle as Postum. Another lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a god- send to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum. “So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disap- peared. Iam well and happy.” “There's a Reason.” Read ‘The Road to Well- ville,” in packages. | Wilson - For guarartee of purity, see back \abel onevery baile: nds WN || Imending porchasers of a STRICTLY FIRST.
