What you’re looking at

This page from the satirical magazine *Judge* contains primarily **advertisements and light humor** rather than political cartoons. **"Judge's Favorite"** features Pearl Sindelar, an actress from "The Girl in the Taxi," with a playful verse joking about her new airplane—a topical reference to early aviation enthusiasm. The "pearl before swine" punchline is a biblical allusion used as a pun on her name. **"A Spoon Shaker"** is a testimonial advertisement for Postum (a coffee substitute), claiming it cured the writer's coffee-induced ailments. This reflects early-1900s health anxieties about caffeine. **"Mahoney's Mary Ann"** is a humorous poem about a woman so well-educated she can answer philosophical questions about humanity's direction. **"Don't Marry"** is a satirical list mocking frivolous, incompetent, or materialistic women—typical period humor criticizing women's perceived character flaws. The tone reflects early-20th-century gender attitudes. The page also features product advertisements (Velvet tobacco, Pears' Soap, electrical school) typical of magazine content from this era.

JUDGE'S FAVORITE. PEARL SINDELAR OF “THE GIRL. IN THE TAXL” I bear you've bought an aeroplane, In which the clouds you would attain, From dramatic heights To dramatic flights— Should be to you both safe and sane. But while you mount some air incline, This prayer to the gods is mine: Don't let you drop Or your motor stop, And throw this Pearl before the swine. A Spoon Shaker STRAIGHT FROM COFFEEDOM. Coffee can marshal a good squadron of enemies and very hard ones to overcome. A la in Florida writes: “I have always been very fond of good coffee, and for years drank it at least three times ad At last, how- ever, I found that it was injuring me. “T became bilious, subject to frequent and violent headaches, and so very nerv- ous that I could not lift a spoon to my mouth without spilling a part of its contents, My heart got ‘rickety’ and beat so fast and so hard that I could scarcely breathe, while my skin got thick and dingy, with yellow blotches on my face, caused by the condition of my liver and blood. “1 made up my mind that all these is came from the coffee, and I rmined to experiment and s So I quit coffee and got a Postum, which furnished my hot morn- ing beverage. After a little time I was rewarded by a complete restoration of my health in every respect. “Ido not suffer from biliousness any more, my headaches have disappeare: my nerves are as steady as could be de- sired, my heart beats regularly, and my complexion has cleared up beautifully— the blotches have been wiped out and it is such a pleasure to be well again.’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle » Mich.
