Judge — December 31, 1910 — page 23: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page contains **brief humorous anecdotes** (typical of Judge magazine's "Humorings" section) plus **advertising and publication information**. The jokes satirize domestic life and class dynamics: - A watchmaker quips that alarm clocks can't selectively wake servants without families - A butcher keeps his hands visible while weighing meat to prevent customers from suspecting he's rigging the scales - A woman's long whiskers joke: his wife buys all his neckties, so he grows whiskers to hide cheap ones **The prominent advertisement** promotes "Sunny Brook" whiskey as "Medicinally Pure"—reflecting the early 1900s era when alcohol was marketed for health benefits before Pure Food regulations restricted such claims. The cartoon "OH, MUMMY, LOOK! THEY'RE FEEDING HIM!" (likely from *Punch*) appears to show a mother and child observing something, but context is unclear without the original caption. The page is primarily **lighthearted domestic humor** typical of period magazines, with class-conscious jokes about servants and working-class characters.
