What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine (December 9, 1916) contains an advertisement and several humor pieces rather than political cartoons. **The Advertisement:** Standard Oil Company promotes "NUJOL," a laxative, using pseudo-scientific reasoning: modern sedentary life and refined food have made our inherited "cave man" digestive systems obsolete, causing constipation. NUJOL supposedly restores natural bowel function without forming habits. **The Humor Pieces:** Three short jokes appear: 1. A child refuses to embarrass a suitor by answering whether he visits too often—a reference to common "funny papers" scenarios 2. A girl misreads "parsimonious" (stingy) as "dishonest" when describing Queen Elizabeth stealing soldiers' rations 3. A woman agrees to all marriage conditions (separate house, mother's distance, father settling debts) but refuses the proposal itself—the joke being her inconsistent logic The page is primarily **advertising and light comedy filler**, not satirical commentary on contemporary politics or social issues.

{ Send for booklet, “T! If You Lived As The Cave Man Lived Your health would take care of itself HE cave man ate coarse food and lived a strenuous life in the open. His digestive appa- ratus was suited to that kind of an existence, You inherit from the cave man the same internal mechanism, but you eat different food and you lead a dif- Serent kind of life. Hence the most universal preval- ence of constipation and its con- stant menace to health. Your problem is to adjust that “Seave man’? internal mechanism of yours to the sedentary life and concentrated food of 1 man. NUJOL accomplishes this adjust- ment by preventing the bowel con- tents from becoming hard, thus making natural movements easy. It doesn’t upset the ordinary pro- cess of digestion and it doesn’t form a habit. NUJOL is sold in pint bottles only, at all drug stores. Refuse substi- tutes—look for the name NUJOL on the bottle and package. Dept. 13.

She was not ready to make her appearance, and the duty of entertaining the caller devolved upon the little brother. “Well, Bobby,” began the young man in an effort to make conversa. tion and at the same time to put the involuntary host at his ease, “does your sister think that I am calling at this house oftener than I am we. come?” The child looked keenly at the caller. “Nothing doing,” he said. “Do you think I’m one of these fresh kids you ‘read about in the funny papers? There ain’t going to be no embarrassing answer this time.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Side-lights on History—A girl was required to write a brief sketch of Queen Elizabeth. Her paper contained this sentence: “Elizabeth was so dishonest that she stole her soldiers’ food.” The teacher puzzled, and called the girl. “Where did you get that notion?” “Why, that’s what it says in the history. The book was sent for, and the passage was » It read: “Elizabeth was so parsimonious that she even pinched her soldiers rations.” —Tit-bits All in Vain—* Dear Mabel, do you love me?” “Oh, George!” “Don’t you, Mabel? Just a tiny little bit?” “Weel, y orge.”” “And if I married you, would your father give us a separate establish. | ment?” “Yes, George.” “And would your mother keep away from us, except when I invited her?” “Why certainly, George.” “And your brothers and sisters, 100?” “Why certainly, George.” “And, of course, the old gent would settle my debts?” “Of course, George.” “Darling, will you marry me?” “No, George.””—Philadel phia Record. address‘Judgark” ) Telephotie 6632MadisotSpuate Published weekly’ by the Lestie-Judge Co.225 Fifth.sve New York City ¥ % me —a eubdent P.
