What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **short humorous anecdotes** in the "Stories with Smiles" column—light jokes about everyday situations (a car assembly feat, a domineering wife, a child's logic, a maid's literal-mindedness). These reflect early 20th-century domestic humor with no political satire. The page's dominant content is **advertising**: a full-page Nujol advertisement about constipation in children, leveraging the endorsement of Harvey W. Wiley (a real Pure Food and Drug Act reformer) to market a mineral oil product as safer than cathartics. This reflects contemporary concerns about children's health and the patent medicine era. Below are ads for Mountain Park Hotel (North Carolina springs) and Faultless Pajamas. **No political cartoons or caricatures appear on this page.** It's primarily filler content and advertising typical of Judge's commercial nature during this period.

the Des, was Stories with Smiles He Recognized It—In honor of a visit to his plant by the governor of the state, an automobile manufacturer once had a com- plete car assembled in something like seven minutes. Some weeks after the feat was heralded in y papers the telephone at the factory rang vigorously. “Is it true that you assembled a car in seven minutes at your factory?” the voice asked es,” came the reply. “Why?” “Oh, nothing,” said the calm inquirer, “only I've got the car!”—People’s Popular Monthly. A Real Commander—It was an evening party and Dodge asked Keller: “Who is that impressive-looking woman over there?” “That’s Mrs. Moore,” was the reply. “She's a remarkably strong-minded woman. It is said she commands a large salary.” “Indeed,” said Dodge reflectively, as he looked at the woman, with interest. ‘How does she earn it?” “She doesn’t earn it,” said Keller. “Her husband earns it, and she commands it."”— Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. He Didn't Waste It—A little boy went school for the first time. His mother gave him a nickel to put in the collection box. When he returned he had a sack of candy. “Where did you get the candy?” asked his mother. “From the stand around the corner.” “But what did you buy it with?” “With the nickel you gave me.” “But that was for Sunday school!” “Well.” replied the boy, “I didn’t need it. The minister met me at the door and got me in free.”’—The Christian Herald. Wisdom of Willy—Mother (angrily Why didn’t you come when I called you the first time? | Willie—Cause I didn’t hear you till you called the third time. Mother —Now how could you know it was the third call unless you heard the other two? Willie—Easy enough, ma. I knew it was the third time ‘cause you sounded so mad.— Boston Transcript. Literal-Minded Maid—The favored suitor rang the door bell. “Is Miss Blank ?” he inquired. * replied the maid, and she ushered him into the drawing-room. Having waited for almost an hour he sum- moned the maid again. “Did you forget to tell Miss Blank that I was here?” he asked impatiently. “No, sir,” was the reply. “Miss Blank hasn't got back from shopping yet.” “But you said she was at hom “Yes, sir. She told me positively that she was always at home to you, sir.”—Boston Transcript. An Unfortunate Beginning—A young miner got married, and for the first week’s housckeeping expenses he gave his wife the good round sum of $1. The girl, to his sur- Prise, accepted the dollar cheerfully, and CONSTIPATION IN CHILDREN O you realize how often the foundations of D ill health are laid in early childhood by the neglect of parents who fail to guard their children from the dangers of the constipa- tion habit? Approved by Harvey W. Wiley Director of Good House- keeping Bureau of Foods, San- itation and Health Children should not be given cathartics and strong purges. They weaken the natural processes of evacuation and are dangerously habit-forming. A far safer and saner means of securing normal bowel movements is the use of Nujol, which is entirely free from these objections. Nujol is not a laxative, but acts in effect as a mechanical lubricant, preventing the contents of the intestines from becoming hard, and so pro- moting healthy and regular bowel activity. Most druggists carry Nujol, which is sold only in pint bottles packed in cartons bearing the Nujol trademark. If your druggist does: not’ carry Nujol, accept no substitute.
