This page mixes satirical editorial content with period advertising. **The "Woman's Rights" cartoon** depicts a debate on suffrage. The text argues against women's franchise claims, using a counterintuitive logic: it contends women already enjoy "equal, if not larger" rights than men through legal protections (like spousal support rights in divorce). The piece sarcastically suggests women cannot demand voting rights without surrendering their existing legal privileges—a rhetorical dodge against the suffragette movement. The cartoon's angel figure likely represents an idealized conception of womanhood being invoked to oppose political equality. **"Force of Habit"** appears to be a small golf joke unrelated to women's rights. **The advertisements** for Schlitz beer and the Hotel Kaaterskill are standard period marketing, emphasizing purity and resort amenities respectively. The page reflects early 20th-century anti-suffrage arguments that framed women's legal protections as equivalent to voting rights—a position modern readers would recognize as fallacious.

FORCE OF HABIT. The colonel is an enthusiastic golfer iarted toa gome of croquet. The result —Black and White. He is Woman's Rights. Some women in the west are dissatis- fed because they are debarred from en- pying political rights, especially the right of franchise to equal extent as their broth 3, Now, Mr. Puck’s argu- is t Equality is not identity. It follows that equal rights do not mean thesame identical rights. Seen in this light, is it true that women are worse of than men in the matter of enjoying rights? Asa matter of fact, if women ae disprivileged in some respects, they are more largely privileged than men. When the long and short are put to- gether to make up for each other, women sill be found to enjoy an equal, if not a larger amount of rights than men. Prove it, you will say. Well, when a woman is divorced through no fault of bers, she has the legal right to make ter separated husband support her so long as she remains single. That is woman’s right, and a very portant one, too. But when a man is divorced from his wife through no fault of his, be is entitled to no such right. Now, is this fair? No, not as it stands. But men enjoy other rights which are denied to women, and thus equality is main- tained, Mr. Puck is not opposed in principle tothe suffragette claims, but he thinks it decidedly unfair and unbearable that women should insist on getting the same kind of rights as men without surrender- ing those which are peculiarly her own. let them first give up their right to be “apported and protected by men, and ‘en may come to terms in the matter of the franchise right. Otherwise, Mr. Pack will conclude, suffragettes are just all women are.—Tokio Puck. Caroni Bitters—One (1) pony glass before pels. Best tonic and appetizer. No home without Gaeet: C.

Schlitz is bottled in a brown bottle to protect its purity from the brewery to your glass. In the Schlitz Brewery, some say, protection against impurity is carried to an absurd extreme. We don’t think so. We have adopted every idea, every invention to attain and _ preserve purity. We scald every tub, keg and barrel—every pipe and pump—every time we use it. We wash every bottle four times by machinery. Even the air in which the beer is cooled is filtered. It is aged for months in glass enameled tanks. It cannot cause biliousness. It will not ferment in your stomach. If you knew what we know about beer, you would say, ‘‘Schlitz— Schlitz in Brown Bottles.” Order a case from your dealer today. See that crown or cork is branded ‘‘Schlitz.’” ply The Beer va That Made Milwaukee Famous Hotel Kaaterskill In the Catskill Mountains Elevation 3,000 Feet THE REJUVENATION OF THIS FAMOUS RESORT For the first time this resort has been leased toa New York hotel man, Mr. Louis Frenkel, for 14 years proprietor of the Hotel Albert. ‘The hotel has been renovated and put in first-class condition.
