What you’re looking at

This page contains **primarily advertisements and humorous short stories**, not political cartoons. The main content includes: **"Fighting Trim"** — A NUJOL laxative ad addressing WWI-era concerns. It targets both soldiers in trenches and civilians at home, arguing that modern sedentary life causes constipation, and promoting their lubricant product over harsh cathartics. **"Stories with Smiles"** — Three brief comedic anecdotes: 1. A husband uses a "Talkaphone" (dictating device) to repeatedly play a recording of "Yes, my dear" while on the phone with his wife, allowing him to return to work. 2. Train passengers judge a man's character by his appearance and noble features, confidently speculating he's a philanthropist—only to learn he runs a pub and butcher shop. 3. A young couple seeking marriage lacks wedding funds; the clergyman agrees to marry them if the girl pawns her hat and coat. These are gentle, domestic humor pieces typical of Judge's satirical tradition, poking fun at marriage, technology, and human gullibility—not serious political commentary.

He stopped his car and said politely “Mayn’t I give you a lift, madam? “In that thing?” “never rode in one in all my life.” “Well, jump in.” and when she had climbed in and deposited the bundle on the seat beside her, they started on. After he had covered a mile, Mr. Jones became a little uneasy; but he kept on for nearly another mile, and then turned and said, “Where do you want to go, madam?” She gave hima broad smile and a gracious nod of the head, and replied “Anywhere you wish; it makes no difference to me.” “But where were you going when I took you in?” asked Mr. Jones. “Oh,” she said, “only to the next house!"
