What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine contains miscellaneous humor and advertising typical of early 20th-century American periodicals. The humor pieces are brief anecdotes mocking politicians and everyday situations. One jokes about Congressman Champ Clark calling a colleague a "jackass" on the House floor—a breach of parliamentary decorum. Another features a politician hit by an egg who puns that it was a "base, cowardly egg" because "it hits you and then runs." The substantial "From Texas" section is actually advertising copy for Postum, a coffee substitute, presenting itself as testimonials from satisfied users crediting the drink with health improvements for their families. The right page features a Remington typewriter advertisement claiming their machine uniquely combines writing and adding functions, alongside ads for Philip Morris cigarettes and other products. The small anecdote "How Fido Lost Out" jokes about a man winning his fiancée's affection from her pet by being a better cook than the dog's owner.

Consult a Veterinarian. Champ Clark loves to tell how, in the heat of a debate, Congressman Johnson, of Indiana, called an Illinois Represent- ative a jackass. The expression was unparliamentary, and in retraction John- son said, “While I withdraw the unfortunate word, yet, Mr. Speaker, I must admit that the gentleman from Illinois is out of order.’” “How am I out of order?”’ yelled the man from Illinois. “Probably a veterinary surgeon could tell you,’’ answered Johnson, and that was parliamentary enough to stay on the record.—Mack’s Monthly. Hit and Run.—‘‘When I arose to speak,”’ related the martyred statesman, “some one threw a base, cowardly egg at me." “And what kind of an egg might that be?’’ asked an attentive listener. “A base, cowardly egg, xplained the statesman, ‘‘is one that hits you and then runs.’’—St. Paul Pioneer Press. From Texas SOME COFFEE FACTS FROM THE LONE STAR STATE. From a beautiful farm down in fexas, where gushing springs unite to from babbling brooks that wind their spar- kling way through flowery meads, comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit. “When my baby boy came to me five years ago, I began to drink Postum, hav- ing a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug- laden coffee. was not disappointed in it, for it enabled me, a small, delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing, healthy baby 14 months. “I have since continued the use of Postum, for I have grown fond of it, and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a bilious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much dis- comfort to my family and suffering to myself, “My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off cof- fee and using Postum. He has become even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. “In fact the entire family, from the latest arrival (a 2-year-old who always calls for his ‘potie’ first thing in the morning) up to the head of the house, think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum.’’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
