What you’re looking at
This page primarily contains **humorous short jokes and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The content reflects early 20th-century domestic humor: **"Passing the Mustard" section:** Comic verses and brief jokes about marriage, gender relations, and domestic life—typical period humor exploring the puzzlement men and women have about each other's behavior. **Main advertisement:** A Nujol (mineral oil laxative) ad endorsed by Harvey W. Wiley, invoking "Health is the Only Preparedness"—likely referencing World War I-era concerns about national strength. It frames constipation as a patriotic health matter. **Supporting advertisements:** Paper warehouses, diamond rings, and a cigar holder—standard commercial ads. The jokes are genteel, focusing on married couples, household servants, and phonographs—reflecting a prosperous, domestic readership unconcerned with radical politics. No specific political figures or events are caricatured. This is a **society/lifestyle page** rather than satirical political commentary.

Wiley Director of Good House- keeping Bureau of Foods, San- itation and Health Health is the Only Preparedness ISEASE strikes first at the unprepared D —at those who haven’t been careful to maintain a sufficient reserve of vitality as protection against the attack of sickness. Constipation saps your vitality, lowers your resistance. By permitting it to continue you are indulging in a dangerous form of physical unpreparedness. Laxatives and cathartics are upsetting and tend to form a habit. Frequently they intensify the very condition they were meant to cure. The use of Nujol as an internal lubricant is entirely free from these objections. Nujol doesn’t upset the processes of digestion and assimilation, because its action is purely mechani- cal. It softens the contents of the intestines, oils the mucous lining and so encourages normal, healthy bowel activity. Most druggists carry Nujol, which is sold only in pint bottles packed in cartons bearing the Nujol trade mark. If your druggist doesn’t carry Nujol, we will send you a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 75 cents—money order or stamps. Address Dept. 13.
