McCarthy advocating for public playgrounds for children, criticizing cities that fund jails and shops but neglect recreational spaces for youth **Cartoons & Humor:** - "Play Titles Travestied" offers one-liner jokes about theater titles - A naval joke depicts a seasick sailor revealed to be a former taxi driver **Advertisements:** The page includes ads for Evans Ale, Remoh Gems (jewelry), and Club Cocktails.

JUDGE'S FAVORITE. PLO WENTWORTH IN “THE VILLAGE Lockur.” Sound Sleep CAN EASILY BE SE RED. “Up to 2 years ago,’ a woman writes, “[was in the habit of using both tea and coffee regularly. “1 found that my health was begin- nervous attacks upon me, making ne tremble so excessively that I could rot do my work while they lasted; my deep left me and I passed long nights s discomfort. I was filled vous dread as to the future. “A friend suggested that possibly and coffee were to blame, and I de to give them up, and casting about for a hot table beverage which I felt was an absolute necessity, I was led by good fortune to try Postum. “For more than a year I have used it three times a day and expect, so much good has it done me, to continue its use during the rest of my life. “Soon after beginning the use of Postum, I found, to my surprise, that, instead of tossing on a sleepless bed through the long, dreary night, I dropped into a sound, dreamless sleep the mo- ment my head touched the pillow. “Then I suddenly realized that all my nervousness had left me, and my appe- tite, which had fallen off before, had all atonce been restored, so that I ate my food with a keen relish. “All the nervous dread has gone. I walk a mile and a half each way to my work every day and enjoy it. I find an interest in everything that goes on about me that makes life a pleasure. All this lowe to leaving off tea and coffee and the use of Postum, for I have taken no medicine." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason,” and it is ex- plained in the little book, ‘‘The Road to Wellville,"” in packages. Ever read the above letter? A Rew one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. Give Them a Place to Play. Plenty of room for dives and dens (glit- ter and glare and sin), Plenty of room for prison pens (gather the criminals in), Plenty of room for jails and courts (will- ing enough to pay); But never a place for the lads to race— no, never a place to play! Plenty of room for shops and stores (Mammon must have the best), Plenty of room for the running sores that rot in the city’s breast! Plenty of room for lures that lead the hearts of our youth astray; But never a cent on playground spent— no, never a place to play! Plenty of room for schools and halls, plenty of room for art, Plenty of room for teas and balls, plat- form, stage, and mart. Proud is the city—she finds a place for many a fad to-day; But she’s more than blind if she fails to find a place for the boys to play Give them a chance for innocent sport, give them achance for fun— Better a playground plot than a court and a jail when the harm is done! Give them a chance—if you sti ¢ them now, to-morrow you'll have to pay A larger bill for darker ill; so give them a place to play! —Denis A. McCarthy, in Journal of Ed- ucation.
