What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a satirical "Historical Calendar for October" mixed with period humor and advertisements. **Main Cartoon**: "A Woman's Choice" shows a street vendor offering pretzels. The joke plays on a woman selecting the bottom pretzel to extract it from the stick—a visual double-entendre about choosing something because of its position rather than quality. This reflects Victorian-era humor about women's reasoning. **Calendar Content**: The satirical entries mock American history and contemporary issues. References include: - Brigham Young's arrest (polygamy criticism) - Standard Oil antitrust actions (1907 ongoing legal battles) - Columbus discovering America framed as a mistake - William Penn and Pennsylvania's development into an industrial powerhouse **"Golf Theme" Section**: A musician with a fiddle—likely satirizing golfers' distraction from actual cultural pursuits. **Other Articles**: Include sections on coffee's health effects and resourceful versus helpless girls—typical period advice content. The page reflects Judge's satirical approach: irreverent historical commentary combined with contemporary social observation.

When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually declined in health, it is time the coffee should be left off in order to see whether or not that has been the cause of the trouble. A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about forty years, and for the past twenty years has had severe stomach trouble. «I have been treated by many physicians, but all in vain. Everything failed to give relief. Was prostrated for some time, and came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink, | tried coffee again, and it soured on my stomach. “I finally concluded that coffee was the cause of my troubles and stopped using it. I tried tea in its place, and then milk, but neither agreed with me. Then I com- menced using Postum, had it properly made, and it was very pleasing to the taste, “Lhave now used it four months, and my health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas before I suffered fo: years with insomnia. “T have found the cause of my troubles and a way to get rid of them.
