What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains mostly satirical humor columns and period advertisements, rather than political cartoons. The left column features witty aphorisms on etiquette, logic, and social observation. "Political Cosmetics" is a pun suggesting a wife uses campaign literature as makeup—treating politics like cosmetic choices rather than serious matters. This mocks both political superficiality and women's perceived lack of serious political engagement. "The Modern Method" presents a paradox: society women dance athletically (like climbers scaling heights) rather than with traditional grace, representing modern women's shift away from Victorian femininity. The large right-side advertisement for **Budweiser** is prominent, emphasizing quality ingredients and consistent production at their St. Louis brewery—typical early-20th-century beer marketing. Below are business opportunity ads for salesmen and agents promoting various products (a massage machine, vacuum technology) as "money-making" ventures—typical of speculative business schemes of this era. The overall page reflects early 1900s concerns: gender roles, political participation, consumer products, and entrepreneurial aspiration.

Etiquette for All N’T overstep the borders of propri- ety. Keep to the common or gar- den walk. Handle a man..of ..soiled..reputation without gloves. = * When addressing ladies, remove your hat, but keep your hair on. Treat every one squarely, don’t contra- dict flatly, nor tell a man roundly that he lies. eee wT * Courtesy doésniét demand that you give your country seat to a lady. Don’t criticise your wife’s bathing dress. Remember there’s never much about it to find fault with. Wandering thoughts may properly ac- company travelers’ tales. When you have to cook up an excuse, don’t mince your words, or you'll make a hash of it. If saddled with a gray mare, bridle your tongue, curb your impatience, and don’t let your temper run away with you. Budding orators should prune their pe- tiods and not blossom into flowery lan- guage. Don't bow to necessity, or it may think you wish to make its acquaintance. In dancing attendance on a lady, the turkey trot is now preferred to the min- vet, which is considered old-fashioned. Ge. B. Morrwees. The Logical Deduction We are told that in heaven all matches are made; Still, heaven seems them to disparage, For it certainly very distinctly is said That there there's no giving in mar- riage! From which the deduction plainly is this: pont marriage would ruffle the heavenly liss ! Scrapple There’s a place for everything, but the trouble is most of us cannot find the place. The door of adversity is never locked. It isn’t our poverty that makes us dis- contented, but the riches of our neighbors. Love makes one ideal husband; fear makes a thousand. There are no conventionalities in pri- vate, Alimony is the battle cry of freedom. Political Cosmetics “Great Scott, Jonesey,”’ said Wilkins, “that's a hefty bundle of papers you've got there! All campaign literature, 1 see,"” “Yes,"" said Jonesey. of political cosmetics for my wife. “Political cosmetics?” cried Wilkins. “Yep,’’ said Jonesey. ‘‘She’s in doubt as to her political complexion, and this stuff will help her to make up her mind.” The Modern Method Maud—It's a paradox, isn’t it?
