What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and miscellaneous content** rather than political satire. The main element is a **Nujol laxative advertisement** featuring a stylized image of a woman and promoting constipation relief as essential to vanity and health. Standard Oil Company's pitch emphasizes that external beauty requires internal wellness. Below are three **humorous anecdotes** unrelated to current events: 1. "The Unlucky Soldier" — A soldier with wealth and comfort is assigned mess-tent duty cleaning 500 fish his wife shipped to soldiers at the border, creating ironic misfortune. 2. "Promptness" — A rejected suitor asks whether to return "white satin suspenders" by mail or in person, implying he borrowed intimate items. 3. "Disappointed" — A homeowner places his son's new cornet and shotgun where burglars can easily find them, yet experiences no break-ins. These are **light domestic jokes** about everyday situations rather than political commentary. The page concludes with masthead information and subscription rates for Judge magazine.

Your Vanity Doesn’t Go Far Enough VANITY which prides itself merely on a good complexion isn’t’ enough. A thorough-going pride in a healthy body is much more worth while cultivating. You cannot have a good complexion or a healthy body if your system is continually clogged with waste matter. Nujol, unlike physics or drugs, will effect- ively relieve constipation without in any way disturbing the normal bowel function. It prevents the intestinal contents from be- coming hard, lubricates the intestinal tract, and so facilitates normal movements. Nujol does not gripe or upset the system. Being tasteless, it is not unpleasant to tak The Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) has used its world-wide resources in pro- ducing Nujol and its reputation is behind the product. Nujol is the only remedy for constipation we manufacture. The genuine sold only in pint bottles bearing Nujol trade-mark. All bottles filled at our Nujol plant, absolutely modern and sanitary.

The Unlucky Soldier—‘For a long time,” said the fat plumber, “T have been t gg to locate the most unlucky gink in the whole world.” And now , “T have found him at last.” o The thin carpenter showed curiosity. “He i soldier down on the border,” the fat plumber continued, “Do you mean that you think all of the boys down there are to be pited?” “TL should say not! “Then you have to furnish a diagram with your joke. “This particular soldier is wealthy and has everything he wants, back home.” nd still he is unlucky.” Yes. He wrote to his wife, one day, and told her she ought to do | something for the boys at the front.” | “Yes “And the wife immediately bought 500 fresh fish and had them | shipped to the border.” “That was fine of her.” Now comes the unlucky part.” “T have been waiting for that.” “On the very day that the consignment reached the company the nan’s husband happened to be assigned to duty in the mess tent—" “VYe—” “And blamed if he didn’t have to clean every one of those 500 fish.” -Youngstown Telegram. Promptness—* Then,” said the young man with a tragic air, as he was leaving the room, “this is your final decision?” “Tt is, Mr. Carrots,” replied the young girl, firmly. “Then,” he replied, his voice betraying an unnatural calmness, “there is but one thing more to add.” “Yes? @ questioned, sweetly. “Tt is this—shall I return those white satin suspenders by mail, or will you have them now?"’—Hurper's Magazine Disappointed—‘Had any burglars out your wa “No,” replied Mr. Growcher. “I have set my boy's new cornet and his shotgun where no burglar could fail to find them but so far I haven’t had any luck.” —Washington Star. | Sop. sittered at the Post- Office at New Yotkas sec lass ail matter.Cable ight 1917 by Leslie-~Ju | addtess‘Sudgark” ) Telephotie 6632MadisonSpuate | Published weekly’ by the Leslie Judge Co.225 Fifth Ave New York City JohitiA Steicher President Reuben P, Sleicher Secretary TAWaldron Art Director Editor A.E.Rotlauer Treasurer SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year, of 52 numbers = ~~ Six moaths, or 26 numbers = - - ~ Thirteen week: ~ tee Subscriptions payable draft oa New York express or postal order.
