What you’re looking at

This page contains mostly short humorous anecdotes and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The main illustrated cartoon ("Out of the Mouths of Babes") shows a nighttime domestic scene with a mother and crying baby—a visual pun on the saying that children speak truth. The joke is the father's confusion about where the baby's tears originate. Other jokes satirize contemporary figures and situations: Secretary of Agriculture Wilson's optimism about farm technology; President Roosevelt's decision regarding Teddy bears (referencing the famous 1902 bear-hunting incident); and a Kansas newspaper editor's bitter farewell, criticizing his town's hypocrisy and gossip. The ads promote Packer's Tar Soap and Evans' Ale, standard patent medicines/products of the era. A cigar seller advertises his "fifteen thousand active accounts," targeting repeat customers. The humor is gentle, domestic satire typical of Judge magazine's early 1900s audience—observational rather than cutting political commentary.

Our Marle cries all day long; | confess | cannot tell where all Hans—"* She hasn't water on the brain, has she ?" —Fliegende Blatter JUST TO FORGET. James Wilson, the secretary of agri- culture, .was discussing in Washington the aid which his department gives the Ainerican farmer. Secretary Wilson pointed out the ben- efit that had been derived from the intro- duction of darum wheat, of the wheat- testing machine, and of the method of ex- tracting potash from granite. “In fact,” said Mr. Wilson smiling, “| believe that eventually our finest prod- ucts will be cheap enough to be within the reach of all. Then the story of the’ boy and the hot-house grapes will be as dead and antiquated as the theatre-hat scories of the past. “This boy—he was a bootblack—en- tered a grocer’s one day, and, pointing to some superb grapes, said, “+ Wot's the price o’ them there, mis- ter? “*One dollar a pound, my lad,’ the k replied. A look of anguish passed over the Loy's face, and he said hastily, «Then give us a cent's worth o' car- rots, I'm dead gone on fruit.’ "ew lork Times. ¢ IT WOULDN'T Go.

Why are you always quarreling with your wile ?” asked some one of him. “She is always arguing with me.” “But you need not get angry.

We don't know who will succeed us, but we sincerely hope that he will receive the support due him, but we fear that he will not, for there are more tight wads, big jacks and two-faced hypocrites in this town than any place we ever knew. And since we know the situation better, we are less surprised that the long tongues do so much talking, for there is so dev- ilish much for them to talk about.—Hia- watha Democrat. GOOD TREATMENT. “Let me kiss those tears away ?” he begged tenderly. She fell for it, and he was busy for the next fifteen minutes. And yet the tears flowed on. «Can noth- ing stop them?” he asked, breathlessly sad. “Nope,” she murmured, ‘It's hay fever, you know, Bud go od with the treatment."— Cleveland Leader.

When a student begins to break down from lack of the right kind of food, there are only two things to do—either take him out of school, or feed him properly on food that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells. That food is Grape-Nuts. A boy writes from Jamestown, N. Y., saying, “A short time ago I got into a bad condition from overstudy, but mother, having heard about Grape-Nuts food, be- gan to feed meon it. It satisfied my hun- ger better than any other food, and the results were marvelous. I got fleshy like a good fellow. My usual morning head- aches disappeared, and I found I could study for a long period without feeling the effects of it. « My face was pale and thin, but is now round and has considerable color. After I had been using Grape-Nuts for about two months I felt like a new boy alto- gether, I have gained greatly in strength as well as flesh, and it is a pleasure to study, now that I am not bothered with my head. I passed all of my examinations with a reasonably good percentage—extra good in some of them—and it is Grape- Nuts that has saved me from a year’s de- lay in entering college. “Father and mother have both been improved by the use of Grape-Nuts. Mother was troubled with sleepless nights, and got very thin and looked careworn. She has gained her normal strength and looks, and sleeps well nights.” « There's a Reason.” Read “The Road to Well- ville,” in packages.
