This page is predominantly **advertising** (a diamond engagement ring and jewelry promotion by Barnard & Co.) rather than editorial satire. The main illustrated content is "This Bar Room is 1838 Years Old," comparing ancient Roman drinking culture to modern times through archaeological discoveries. The piece references Professor Camden M. Cobern's book on Roman domestic life, suggesting that despite nearly 2,000 years of history, human behavior—particularly socializing in bars—remains remarkably unchanged. The contents listing indicates typical Judge features: political/social humor ("Militarism," "War's Horrors"), war-related commentary (this is July 1917, during U.S. involvement in WWI), and domestic satire ("The Modern Woman," "Suffrage Snapshots"). The specific cartoons themselves are not visible in this reproduction.

YEARS OLD If ‘Julius Caesar ever said to Mark Antony “Here’s how” in some Roman “Booze Parlor” nearly 2,000 years ago, his eyes rested on very much the same sort of furnishings and utensils found in our modern drink dispensarics—so we learn from a remarkable new book by Professor Camden M. Cobern, of Allegheny College, in THE NEW ARCHEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES which is doing so much to familiarize us with the life and customs of the Roman world as revealed by primitive documents—family papers, love letters, legal records, and official memoranda. In reading these documents as translated by experts, the similarity be- tween the life in ancient lands and our modern world is very forcibly brought | Here are some typical examples: How the Suffragists got Woman's Rights, B.C. 425 The Price of Pork and Beans Under Imperial Rome Domestics Insists on “Days Off" in Cleopatra's Time How Politicians Grafted under the Caesars “Preparedness” a it Century Slogan Elevators and Hot-Air heating in Nero’s Day Tax Dodging by Third Century Millionaires This fascinating record of the daily life of past ages is a large book of 732 pages, with 113 illustrations from photographs, and is sent, postpaid, on receipt of $3.16, with the privilege of returning it in five days, if not satisfied, when your money will be refunded.
