What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine contains satirical content reflecting early 20th-century attitudes: **"SUPPOSIN'" poem**: Inflammatory verse about potential U.S.-Japan conflict, using dehumanizing language ("Jappy," "dusky little man"). Reflects pre-WWI tensions and racist attitudes toward Japanese people common in American media of this era. **Cartoon humor sections**: Several brief jokes, including one about a counterfeit title (mocking women seeking aristocratic marriages abroad) and domestic humor about plumbing tools and coffee addiction. **Advertisements**: A "Packer's Tar Soap" ad and a satirical resort advertisement mocking vacation expectations. The page's overall tone—particularly the poem's militaristic braggadocio and ethnic caricature—reveals how mainstream American humor magazines openly promoted xenophobic and racist stereotypes during this period. The content would be considered deeply offensive today.

Sammy grow malignant and should suddenly renig From the attitude so kindly he has held, though never blindly, Should he drop the friendly attitude he's always held designedly, Something stronger than jiu-jitsu would lay hold on Mutsuhitsu, Till you'd wonder, scrappy Jappy, what in thunderation hit you. Yea; should Uncle Sam get scrappy with the yappy, snappy Jap, We should give him what our mother used to give us o'er her lap. STRICKLAND W, GILLILAN.

TO POUR IN COFFEE WHEN IT ACTS AS A VICIOUS ENEMY. Fasters have gone without food for many days at a time but no one can go without sleep. “For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night, but now I sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and vigorous,” says a California woman. “Do you know why? It's because I used to drink coffee, but I finally cut it out and began using Postum. Twice since then I have drank coffee and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the TO BE EATEN.

He was troubled with sour stomach and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the distress in his stomach ; lately hardly a day passed without a dose of soda for relief. «Finally he tried a cup of Postum and liked it so well he gave up coffee and since then has been drinking Postum in its place and says he has not once been troubled with sour stomach.” Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for a time that coffee was causing his sour stomach, but easily proved it. Coffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this, but it's easily proved.
