What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* is primarily composed of advertisements and humorous short jokes (typical *Judge* filler content) rather than political cartoons. The main cartoon at top left depicts a boatman and lady discussing fishing plans, with a visual gag about the boatman's nephew being "cleaner" and "younger" than the boatman himself—a working-class humor joke about hygiene and age. Below are "Breezings"—brief satirical quips on various topics. Notable ones mock political ineffectiveness (The Hague's peace efforts), divorce culture (Reno competing with The Hague), marital dynamics, and parliamentary procedure. One joke uses "speaker of the house" as a domestic pun about a bossy wife. The page's bulk consists of advertisements for foods (Grape-Nuts), beverages (Evans' Ale, champagne, P.B. Lager), and medicinal products (Allen's Foot-Ease), reflecting early 1900s consumer culture marketing. The content reflects general social attitudes rather than specific political events—typical light satirical material meant to entertain *Judge*'s middle-class readership.

Boatman NEPHEW WILL BE APTHER TAKIN’ YE AV YE LIKE?” Lady — Boatman— Casting Reflections.—When you cast reflections on the character of others, you are apt to throw light on your own. —American Thresherman. Get Power. THE SUPPLY COMES FROM FOOD. Ifwe get power from food why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skilfully selected food that exactly fits the re- quirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a poor fire is not a good steam producer. “From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously fora long time’from stomach troubles,’’ writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. “It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was ) best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heartburn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally be- came a living skeleton and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. “A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that [have kept up its use ever since. Iwas surprised at the ease with which I digested it. It proved to be just what Tneeded. “All my unpleasant symptoms, the heartburn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 pounds, my figure rounded out, my k, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. Grape-Nuts food did it.” Name given ty Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. A ten days’ trial will show any one Some facts about food.
