What you’re looking at
This is primarily a **magazine masthead and humor section**, not a political cartoon page. The left column contains three brief **humorous anecdotes** (common Judge content): - A child refusing medicine because his mother uses powder as makeup - A man angry his newspaper editor added an 's' to his pseudonym "Honestas" - A wounded soldier's dark joke about WWI ("Modern Battle") The right side is an **advertisement for serialized fiction**: a teaser for "The Silver Buddha," featuring the villain **Fu-Manchu** and his slave Karamaneh rescuing Dr. Petrie. This references the popular **Fu-Manchu pulp fiction series** circulating in 1915—sensationalist tales of an evil Chinese mastermind, reflecting period **Sinophobic attitudes** common in American popular culture. The humor pieces employ mild satire about domestic life and military experience, typical of Judge's lighter fare. No significant political commentary is evident on this particular page.

Stories With Smiles Made a Difference—Little Willie became slightly indisposed, and when the family doctor was called, he prescribed some medicine in powder form. “Come, Willie,’’ said the fond mother, preparing one of the pow- ders as soon as the medicine arrived from the drug store, ‘‘you must take this right away, so that you will be well.” **No, I don't want to take it,’’ whined Willie, backing away from the dose. ‘‘I don’t need no medicine."” “Why, Willie,” pleaded mother, gently drawing the boy toward her, ‘‘you never heard me complain about a little powder, did you?’’ “No, an’ neither would I,’’ was the startling rejoinder of Willie, “if I could just put it on my face like you do; but I have to swallow it.""—Philadelphia Telegraph. For Good Cause—A man allowed himself to get very much excited about a letter he had written to the editor of a newspaper. He told a friend that he intended to lick the editor. “*Why?”” “*Well, the other day I sent him a letter on public affairs, which I signed ‘Honestas.’'’ **Didn’t he print it?’’ “*Sure, he printed it. But what did he do but add ‘s’ to the signa- ture !"’—Manchester Union. A Modern Battle—A military attache said at a Washington luncheon: **Modern warfare has no picturesqueness, no beauty. A wounded soldier at Charleroi was asked to describe his impressions of a modern battle. He eased his face bandages and replied, ‘A modern battle? What's it like? Well, first you hear a deuce of a noise, and then the nurse says, ‘‘Try and take a little swaller o° this."”’ ''—Washington Star. Alluring iment—Wife—Why did you stand and talk so long with that Turkish peddler? Husband—I was trying to convert him. Wife—Huh! Great missionary you would be! What did you tell him? Husband—I told him a Christian was not obliged to have more than one wife.—New York Weekly. In “The Silver Buddha’’, Fu- Manchu’s beauti- ful slave, Kara- manéh, saves Dr, Petrie from a grew- some death. Petrie opens a secret door, when he seizes a sil- ver Buddha in the shop of an antique dealer, and is confronted by ‘Fu-Manchu — follow Petrie into the myste- rious region beyond that door in this week's Collier's THE NATIONAL WEEKLY 416 West 13th Street, New York City
