What you’re looking at
This page contains three distinct elements: **"Stories With Smiles"** — Three brief humorous anecdotes typical of early 20th-century magazines, focusing on nervousness, charitable egg-price reduction, and personal ambition. **"A Political Problem"** — Commentary on President Wilson's incoming administration (appears to reference 1913). The piece analyzes tension between William Jennings Bryan and House Speaker Champ Clark regarding their influence over Wilson. It notes Western observers expect Bryan to be rewarded for supporting Wilson's nomination, while Eastern observers fear both men pose problems—Bryan through demands for position, Clark through lingering resentment over losing the nomination. **Schlitz Beer Advertisement** — The dominant content. This full-page ad emphasizes the beer's purity through multiple filtration steps and claims it "will not make you bilious" (cause stomach upset), a common concern with beer consumption at the time. The page is primarily advertising-driven, with political commentary as secondary content.

Stories With Smiles. Wholesale Favors.—The young man entered the president’s office and stood first on on» foot and then on theother. He dropped his hat, hand- kerchief and umbrella. Altogether he was a highly developed case of nervousness. “Well, well, “Out with it!’’ “I have come, sir,’’ said the you g man, and then began to stammer. “Well, speak up. Have you come to ask for the hand of my daughter or a raise in salary?’’ “If you please, sir,’’ stammered the young man, ‘‘it’s both.’’—Ex- change. Had Only Two Aims.—Frank Krause, a Cleveland philanthropist, has established the Thirty-cent Egg Club, and hopes by means of a club boycott to bring down the price of eggs to a reasonable figure. Being complimented on the hard and unselfish work he has given to this movement, Mr. Krause replied, “Unselfish work, work that doesn’t pay, is what this country needs more than anything else. We are all too mercenary here. I once said to a little newsboy, Have you an aim in life?’ ‘Yes, sir. Ihave two aims,’ he replied. ‘«*What are they, my son?’ “**The first is to become a million- aire.’ ’ said the employer. And the second?’ to become a multi- "—Cleveland Plain Aha! ‘The second millionaire.’ Dealer. A Political Problem. In the West an impression prevails that Bryan will be a factor in Presi- dent Wilson’s administration, and that Champ Clark’s influence will be negligible. It is urged that Dr. Wil- son owes his nomination to Bryan, and that, as a matter of course, the latter must be consulted, especially if the Democrats desire harmony. In the East it is difficult to believe that Bryan can be a party harmon- izer. It is understood that the Pres- ident-elect hopes for the co-operation of Clark in the harmony work. Al- ways popular in the Democratic party, Speaker Clark enjoys a much greater personal regard now among his fellow-Democrats than he ever did before. Tens of thousands of them believe that he was cheated out of the nomination at Baltimore by Bryan. While he may join in the Wilson procession of triumph, the Democratic admirers of Champ Clark expect that, while he will remain loyal to his party, he will keep Personally aloof from the Wilson coterie. An impartial judgment would indi- cate that President Wilson has rea- son to fear both Bryan and Clark— the former for what he will demand in the way of reward, and the latter because of his grievance and the loyalty of his following. ure Beer Will Not make You Bilious We go to Bohemia for hops; one of our partners selects the barley; water is brought from rock 1400 feet under the ground.
