What you’re looking at
This page contains several light comedic pieces rather than political cartoons: **"In the Psychopathic Ward"** presents a philosophical joke about the meaning of "fast asleep"—absurdist wordplay typical of early-20th-century humor magazines. **"A Picnic Outfit"** satirizes poor planning: a South Side Chicago group arrives at a park with food but forgot salt, pepper, forks, and napkins—comedic commentary on disorganization and the humor found in everyday mishaps. **"Height of Mistrust"** jokes about a diffident man who bought a dictionary specifically to count words and verify the publisher's claims—poking fun at excessive skepticism. The page is primarily **advertising and filler content**: Postum coffee substitute testimonials, a Pears' soap ad, Great Western Champagne promotion, and jewelry store credit offers dominate. The theatrical photo features actress Valeska Suratt. This represents Judge's typical mix of light social humor, product advertising, and entertainment notices rather than sharp political satire.

In the Psychopathic Ward. By CHARLES C. JONES. HE CAME to me with troubled air— It seemed his thoughts were some- thing deep; And when he stood beside me there, He asked, ‘How fast is fast asleep?” I pondered that, then said, ‘‘You see, On reason I am not so strong; But fast asleep is certainly As fast as long ago is long.’” A Picnic Outfit. A merry crowd of South Side folks, who took baskets filled with good things to Idora Park Friday evening, was seated at one of the long tables when one of the men called for salt. ‘*I don’t believe there is a bit in the outfit,’’ said one of the ladies. “Pass the pepper,’’ some one else called. “There isn’t any pepper either,’ came the answer. “*Hand me a fork.”’ “Goodness! we forgot the forks Thames Any mapkinal LOFTIS BROS. & CO., “Nary a napkin.” ] Rettat Diamond and Watch Credit Honse me of the younger folks began to | g "Bese siti, wa te 66 State Ser chlagee. th: VALESKA SURATT IN “THE RED ROSE” AT THE GLORE THEATER.

They think it delicious, and I would have a mutiny on my hands should I omit the beloved beverage. “My husband used to have a very deli- cate stomach while we were using cof- fee, but to our surprise his stomach has grown strong and entirely well since we quit coffee and have been on Postum. “Noting the good effects in my fam- ily, I wrote to my sister, who was a coffee toper, and after much persuasion got her to try Postum. “She was prejudiced against it at first, but when she presently found that all the ailments that coffee gave her left and she got well quickly, she became and remains a thorough and enthusiastic Postum convert. “Her nerves, whick. had become shat- tered by the use of coffee, have grown healthy again, and to-day she is a new Woman, thanks to Postum.’” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich., and the ‘‘cause why’ will be found in the great little book, ‘‘The Road to Wellville,"” which comes in Packages.
