What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine (early 20th century) contains miscellaneous social satire rather than a single unified cartoon. **Main Cartoon**: "Squire Cornstalk Showing His Cob at the Country Horse Show" depicts a rural aristocrat proudly displaying his horse—likely satirizing the pretensions of country gentry who adopt genteel behaviors. **Running Jokes**: - "The Silly Season" mocks summer social conventions: women wearing excessive clothing while appearing cool, country relatives freeloading, and the absurd "Sartorial Guide" that ridicules wealthy people spending entire days deciding what to wear (with a joke about King George's button placement). - "Did She Kick?" plays on a man harnessing his ambitions ("hitched his wagon to a star") only to have his wife ("Kitty") refuse to cooperate—a domestic humor common to the era. **Advertisements**: Evans Ale occupies significant space, typical for Judge's revenue model. The page reflects Edwardian-era concerns: class anxiety, fashion obsession, agricultural uncertainty, and marital dynamics—all presented with light mockery rather than sharp political critique.

THE most peculiar thing about the summer is that a woman can wear three times as much clothing as a man, and yet look twice as cool.

Followers of the Sartorial Guide will be kept posted in this regard. There is said to be a movement on foot among some of the more light-spirited swell dressers to discard the olive-green necktie at afternoon teas in favor of a lighter green. Conservative dressers will do well to hesi- tate before taking up such an innovation.

Tea was worse for us than coffee, chocolate and cocoa were soon tired of, milk was not liked very well, and hot water we could not endure. “About two years ago we struck upon Postum and have never been with- out it since, “We have seven children. Our baby, now eighteen months old, would not take milk; so we tried Postum, and found she liked it and it agreed with her perfectly. She is to-day, and has been, one of the healthiest babies in the State. “Tuse about two-thirds Postum and one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar, - and put it into her bottle. If you could have seen her eyes sparkle and hear her say ‘Good!’ to-day when I gave it to her, you would believe me that she likes it. “If I was matron of an infants’ home, every child would be raised on Postum, Many of my friends say, ‘ You are look- ing so well!’ I reply, ‘I am well; I drink Postum. I have no more trouble with constipation, and know that I owe my good health to God and Postum.’ “*T am writing this letter because I want to tell you how much good Postum has done us, but if you knew how I shrink from publicity you would not this letter, at least not over my Read the little book, ‘‘ The Road to Wellville,”” in packages. ‘* There's a Reason."” Ever read the above letter?
