What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* (a satirical weekly) mixes entertainment content with advertising typical of early-20th-century magazines. **Main Content:** The "Judge's Favorite" features Grace Washburn, an actress at New York's Winter Garden theater, with a brief joke about a young man feigning interest in "old masters" at an art exhibition while actually eyeing a young woman. **"Artemus Ward Up-to-Date"** presents humorous observations in the style of 19th-century humorist Artemus Ward—witty complaints about modern life: time passing to "pawnbrokers," divorced women, Mormon polygamy, his own poor singing voice, his narcissism about photographs, and San Francisco's wealthy citizens. The tone is self-deprecating, Victorian-era satirical humor. Several short jokes follow about domestic/romantic misunderstandings, playing on class differences and gender expectations. **Advertisements** dominate the right side: Apenta mineral water, Blatz beer, and the Hotel Nassau in Long Beach. The page reflects early-1900s concerns: consumer products (coffee alternatives), wealth disparities, and gender/marriage anxieties, presented through light satire and wordplay.

WHEN COFFEE “Of late years coffee has disagreed with me,"’ writes a matron from Rome, N.Y. “Its lightest punishment being to make me ‘logy’ and dizzy, and it seemed to thicken up my blood. “The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying my ap- petite and making me nervous and irri- table, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit the coffee and try Postum, “Tt went right to the spot! I found it not only a most palatable and refresh- ing beverage, but a food as well. “All my ailments, the ‘loginess’ and dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition of my blood, my nervousness and irrita- bility disappeared in short order and my sorely afflicted stomach began quickly to recover. I began to rebuild and have steadily continued until now. Have a good appetite and am rejoicing in sound health which I owe to the use of Postum."’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, Read the little book, Wellville,"’ in pkgs. reason.’" Ever read the above letter?
