What you’re looking at

This page contains several distinct elements: **Left column** features short humorous poems and quips typical of Judge's satirical style, touching on domestic life and social observations—nothing politically charged. "Passing the Mustard" jokes about women shedding clothing; "Homespun Homilies" offers folksy observations about human nature. **Right side** is dominated by a **Schlitz beer advertisement** claiming superiority through brown bottles that protect beer from light decay. The ad emphasizes purity and manufacturing standards, appealing to early-20th-century consumer consciousness about product quality and hygiene. **Bottom** contains a hotel advertisement for the Hotel Imperial in New York. There are **no political cartoons** on this page. The content reflects Judge's mix of light social satire and advertising revenue. The Schlitz ad's emphasis on scientific purity and protection reflects Progressive Era marketing tactics—companies competed on claims of cleanliness and modern manufacturing standards, a significant selling point following food-safety scandals of the era.

° Passing the Mustard The Limit (Ladies' clothing tends to become scantier.) Daphne, once I wondered— When I knew you less— How you might be sundered From your love of dress; Now I see 'twas slander, Totally unfair, And with new-born candor I the truth declare. ‘Tis not woman's pleasure Costly clothes to don; Lightly does she treasure What she now puts on. She regards but little Furbelows and frills, Wishing more to whittle Down to naught her bills. Daphne, at your dressing Now I cannot scoff, Since I feel the blessing Of your leaving off. Only now I wonder— Whisper soft and low— What is left to plunder, Outer garb or under— Can another go? —London Daily Chronicle. Homespun Homilies—Gabe Toots sez: There ain't nothing less versatile than a pretty woman. It’s all in the bait whether you mean to go fishing, get married, start a bank or keep on holding your job. Virtue may be its own reward, all right, but nobody ever heard of it being offered a bonus. The millennium is going to stay right where it is just so long as nine-tenths of us is content to press the button, while the other tenth has to do the rest. The way of the transgressor is full of skiddings and front-end collisions.—St. Louis Republic. Sure Enough—‘‘Climate that suits one person doesn’t suit another,’’ said the Western man. “That's right,’’ replied the New Yorker. “But your New York climate is the limit. “But just stop and think how many people we have to please in New York!"” —Yonkers Statesman. Happy Combination—‘‘Myrtle is in a andary, “What's the matter with her?” _ “She loves music, but she needs phys- ieal culture’’—— “Yes?” “But she hasn’t time for both.’ “Tecan tell her a way out of the diffi- culty.”? “Indeed ?"* Yes; just tell her to buy an accor- dion.""— Youngstown Telegram. Don't Admit Light Decayed Beer in Your House You must drink beer not only made pure, but kept pure. Purity exceeds all other costs in our brewery. We even filter the air in which Schlitz is cooled. We scald every tub, keg and barrel, every pipe and pump, every time we use it. Then, instead of putting pure beer in light glass bottles we use Brown Bottles. Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives the best pro- tection against light. The Brown Bottle protects Schlitz purity from the brewery to your glass. We_began in a hut, sixty years ago. Today our agencies dot the earth. Our output exceeds a million barrels a year. More and more people each year are drinking Schlitz. ? hb Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous. Why don’t you, too, drink only pure beer — Schlitz in Brown Bottles? “ See that crown or cork is branded ‘‘Schlitz."” 36-M A Modern Twentieth Century Hotel HOTEL IMPERIAL Broadway at 31st and 32d Streets, New York City R convenience of location—one block from Pennsylvania Station, within six minutes of new Grand Central Terminal, convenient to the 32d Street Station { the Hudson River Tubes (just across the street), also to the new Shopping district and Theatres For excellence of cuisine and efficient yet unobtrusive service For refined, comfortable and luxurious surroundings For its atmosphere of hospitality and the desire of its management to ci In short — For a hotel charging moderate rates, yet offering the utmost i Imperial cannot celled. tb, $2.00 and up.
