What you’re looking at

This page from the satirical magazine *Judge* contains mostly **advertisements and humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons. The main visual is a **Sunny Brook Whiskey advertisement** featuring an "Inspector" character—likely referencing the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, which mandated government inspection of food and alcohol products. The inspector's presence on the bottle reassures consumers of quality and purity, a selling point in the early 20th century when food safety was a public concern. The text sections are light humor pieces: one mocks a country vicar's poor listening skills; another jokes about Representative Brantley's inability to recognize intelligence in fellow congressman Carter Glass by appearance alone. The "Editor's View of Cocktails" advertisement discusses the superiority of pre-made cocktails (Heublein brand) over bartender-mixed drinks, emphasizing consistency and precise measurement—a modern efficiency argument appealing to readers. The page reflects early 1900s concerns: food regulation, political wit, and consumer convenience marketing.

o . a Stories with Smifes The Other Way Round—A country vicar is telling a story of an incident that hap- pened in his church the other Sunda: During the sermon a baby began to cry, and its mother picked it up and began to carry it toward the door. “Stop!’’ the vicar exclaimed. ‘*Don’t go away. The baby is not disturbing me.’” The mother continued her way to the door with the remark, ‘Oh, ’e ain’t, aint’ ’e? But you're a-disturbin’ of 'im!""— Farm and Home (London). Marks of Genius—Representative Brantley, of Georgia, likes a good story and tells the following one on Carter Glass, of Virginia: “*Soon after I was elected to Congress, I was seated beside an old member and he was pointing out the celebrities in the House to me. ee that man over there,’ he said, pointing to Carter Glass. ‘Well, he is one of the smartest men in the House.” “‘*What has he done remarkable to prove it?’ I asked. “*Look at him,’ said my friend. “*T am looking at him,’ I replied; ‘but his record is not recorded in his face, and I am no mind reader.’ “**You are not as smart as I thought you, if you see it that way,’ he replied. aBavata THE—PURE FOOD—WHISKEY LJ [J oge To arrive at the top in any department or commercial effort one must produce, offer and do bet- ter than has been produced, offered or done before.

WHISKEY ~~ ST £08) -— A well-known Editor’s view of Cocktails I sometimes drink a cocktail. In fact, I like a cocktail when towards evening the fa- tigues of the day begin to tell on me. Some people like a cocktail as an appetizer, but ‘everybody who likes a cocktail likes a good one. Fora good while I have kept in my house, whether in the country or in town, the Club Cocktails in bottles, more forconvenience than poything else. I knew they were good | and I liked them, but just why they were so good did not occur to me until some one, speaking of the vast quantities of these that the Messrs. Heublein must makein a “batch,” led me to this sort of reasoning. Barkeepers, and even one’s self, in mixing cocktails, nec- | essarily cannot have a unjform and exact quently of ingredients in @&ch one. A few drops more or less of either ingregient greatly changes the nature of the product. 1 ic is accurately weighed or measured, and the compound is following an exact formula. ‘This insures that each and every cocktail or bottle of cocktails put up shall be precisely correct in its composition. Again, recal the fact that age 1s necessary to the proper blending of all liquors, it occurred to me that these bottled cocktails by the time they are used by ave been months oreven years in bottle, he must be perfect. Reasoning thus, I feel con- strained to tell my readers about it, as I know ‘a goodly number of them enjoy a cocktail. I have found the several varieties prepared by the Heublein Brothers, parti jarly Manhattan, Dry Manhattan, Mai Dry Martini, and Brut Martini, all excellent. de. “The Hotel of American Ideals’’ HOTEL POWHATAN Pennsylvania Ave., at 18th & H Sts.

Do you mean to tell me that you think that a man so homely could have been elected to Con- gress unless he possessed transcendent ability? He must have been wonderfully smart to do it!’"" And, it is said, Mr. Glass enjoys the joke on himself as much as Mr. Brantley does in telling it.— Washington Star. What She Got—The Queen of Italy, of whose kindness to the poor many stories are told, one day, it is said, noticed a pleasant-faced little girl and spoke to her. The Queen asked what the child could do in the way of needlework. “TI can knit stockings, signora,"’ said the girl. “Do you know who I am?"’ continued the Queen, “Yes, signora; you are the Queen.”’ “Well, then, make me a pair of stock- ings and send them to the palace."’ A few days later the articles arrived, and, in return for the gift, the Queen sent a beautiful pair of silk stockings, one filled with sweets and the other con- taining money. The next day her maj- esty received a letter which read, ‘*Si- gnora, your gift has caused me many tears. My father took the money, my big brother took the sweets, and the stockings mother took for herself!"’— Farm and Home (London).
