What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and book reviews** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **Left side:** A Sterling Cinnamon Gum advertisement disguised as a puzzle ("7 pieces of pie—7 rarebits—7 cups of coffee"), asking readers to identify a hidden "7th Point" in the gum's qualities. Below is a magazine subscription offer bundling *Century* and *St. Nicholas* magazines for $5. **Right side:** Book reviews under "Judges Between Covers," discussing recent publications by Jack London (*The Scarlet Plague*—set in a future 2012 America), Winifred Boggs (*Sally on the Rocks*), and an anonymous author's dog story (*Wolfine*). The only illustration is a sketch of Jack London himself at page bottom. There is **no political cartoon or satire** visible. This appears to be a standard magazine page mixing advertisements with literary criticism.

But none of them have gone so far, in the way of imagination, as th newest novel. “The Scarlet Plague” out-Londons London. It describes the status of America in the year 2012, when “Morgan the Fifth was appointed President of the United States by the Board of Managex?

The book is written in Mr. London’s usual style, and is capably illustrated by Mr. Gordon Grant. it “Ju dgors t “Sally on the Rocks,” by Winifred Boggs. “On the rocks” is financial, not literal. Sally is a painter. But she is a most unusual sort of painter; she realizes t her products are not sufficiently valuable to. provide be with the easy life which her temperament demands. So—“on the rods’ —she sets about capturing a middle-aged banker in the English village d Little Crampton. The book is a story of her Machiavelian angfcg But behind the story there looms the shadow of the war. England~ smug, small-town England—is portrayed with sharp humor, thoog we are made to feel the spiritual awakening that has come over England since the beginning of the war. 2 “Wolfine,” by “X.”” When an anonymous author writes a romante dog story and includes a chapter on white slavery, the ensemble is gt to be a fizzle. But the dog in this story is so well drawn that the detaik~ hero, heroine, plot, etc.—are quite negligible. It is a good dog stay, when the dog is on the stage; and a very mediocre novel, when the ks intelligent characters are performing. Ant moaQoueny Dace JACK LONDON comichoo!
