What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and miscellaneous content**, not political satire. The dominant feature is a Blue-jay corn plaster advertisement showing a dramatic image of a foot with the warning "STOP! Paring Corns Is Dangerous." The ad promotes Blue-jay as a safe, gentle alternative to dangerous home remedies, claiming corns can be removed painlessly in 48 hours. The page also contains hotel and business service advertisements (Manhattan Square Hotel, Romeike's press clipping bureau) and a section titled "Some Bad Advice"—a humorous poem by Douglas Malloch advising young workers to enjoy leisure and entertainment rather than obsessively save money or work constantly. This represents mild social commentary about work-life balance and consumerism, but it's presented as light verse rather than sharp satire. The remaining content consists of brief, anonymous humor snippets about courtship, absent-mindedness, and gardening—standard filler fare for the era.

STOP! Paring Corns Is Dangerous ND soare harsh liquids. The only safe way is Blue-jay. If you want instant relief, if you want to end your corns in 48 hours, use the gentle Blue-jay. Last year millions of corns were ended in this quick, easy way. Most cases require but one treatment. A very small per- centage require a second or third treatment. Touchy corns are needless, and it is needless to risk dangerous ways to get rid of them. Decide now to gain utter freedom from your corns. Purchase a package of Blue- jay Plasters at your drug- gist’s. You gain instant relief, and in 48 hours your corn may be removed without pain.

Terms, $5.00 for 100 notices, HENRY ROMEIKE, 106-110 SEVENTH AVE... Y. Some Bad Advice I fear that my philosophy Is not the proper kind, The proper sort of sophistry To feed the youthful mind. While other authors will advise To labor night and day, I am inclined to think it wise To have a little play. When other authors say to do Two dollars’ worth of toil For ev'ry dollar paid to you, ‘That sentiment I spoil. Do all the work to do, I say, But ask for more than praise; Just do the work the proper way And strike them for a raise. Some other authors say that we Should never waste a jit, But save our money faithfully And bank it ev'ry bit, So when we're sixty anyhow We'll have a million yen. I'd rather hire a taxi now ‘Than own a Packard then. There are a lot of fallacies That pass for good advice, And most of those who fell for these Are still as poor as mice. I know some fellows who are gray Who otherwise have done, And they are just as poor—but they Have had a lot of fun. —Douglas Malloch in the American Lum- berman.

Chestnut Bill in Vaudeville ILL wears a grin: upon his phiz While twice-told tales he’s spinning; He beams with that smirk-smile of his, And deems it O, so winning; But all the while, his audience is More grinned against than grinning. —C.
