What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* (circa 1908) features: **Main Cartoon**: "Judge's Favorite" depicts **Maude Adams in "Chantecler"**—a famous theatrical production. The silhouette shows a rooster, referencing the play's barnyard setting. The accompanying verse mocks the show's popularity, suggesting audiences will applaud anything presented as theatrical spectacle ("They'll applaud you when you crow"). **Advertisements**: The page is predominantly advertising—Grape-Nuts cereal (with a testimonial about digestive health), and Remington typewriter's new "Key-Set Tabulator" for billing work. **Humor Sections**: Below are brief comedic vignettes typical of *Judge*'s format: jokes about modern courtship, widows' gravestones, and marital mishaps—light social commentary with no specific political content. The page reflects early-1900s concerns: health via nutrition, office mechanization, and urban social etiquette.

There are stomach specialists as well as eye and ear and other specialists. One of these told a young lady, of New Brunswick, N. J., to quit medicines and eat Grape-Nuts, She says: “For about 12 months I suffered se- verely with gastritis. Iwas unable to retain much of anything on my stomach, and consequently was compelled to give up my occupation. “T took quantities of medicine, and had an idea I was dieting, but I con- tinued to suffer, and soon lost 15 pounds in weight. I was depressed in spirits and lost interest in everything generally. My mind wa: affected that it was im- possible to become interested in even the lightest reading matter. “After suffering for months I decided to go toa stomach specialist. He put me on Grape-Nuts and my health began to improve immediately. It was the keynote of a new life. “L found that I had been eating too much starchy food which I did not di- gest, and that the cereals which I had tried had been too heavy. I soon proved that it is not the quantity of food that eats, but the quality. ‘In a few weeks I was able to go back to my old business of doing clerical work. I have continued to eat Grape- Nuts for both the morning and evening I wake in the morning with a mind and feel rested. I regained lost weight in a short time. Iam well and happy again and owe it to Grape-Nuts."’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Wellville,"’ in packages. ‘*There’s a Reason.”’ Ever read the above letter?
