This is primarily a **title/contents page** for *Judge* magazine with advertisements and joke fillers rather than editorial cartoons. The main content includes: **Leslie's Illustrated Weekly Advertisement** (left): Appeals to WWI readers wanting war photographs, positioning Leslie's as superior for visual war coverage—relevant since America had entered the war in 1917. **"Shear Steal" Section** (center): A collection of short jokes satirizing American society. Notable examples mock Congressional vanity ("big ideas in Congress" = billion-dollar spending), marital assumptions, and fashion wastefulness. These reflect typical early-20th-century humor targeting politicians and social pretension. **"What War is Teaching Through Food Conservation"** (lower): Educational content about wartime rationing innovations—artificial cream, waste heat reuse, vegetable scraps as fertilizer. This reflects actual WWI-era conservation efforts Americans faced. The page essentially showcases *Judge*'s mixed editorial approach: light satire combined with practical wartime information and celebrity illustrator credits to attract readers.

What War is Teaching Through Food Conservation RTIFICIAL Cream.—Artificial made on somewhat the same lines as. artificial butter has been developed by two Chicago chemists, according to the Popular Science Monthly. Skimmed milk is the basis, with some sugar first dissolved in it, and the addition of lecithin, a substance obtained from the yolk of eggs, and also melted beef or butterfat. This combination is heated, whipped up to a uniform creamy mixture, and then pasteurized, cooled, and stored until wanted. Usinc Heat From Execrric GeNera- rors.—In a large Norwegian hydroelectric power station heat from the generators is used for various warming purposes. ‘These generators are entirely cased in and fitted with cooling apparatus to keep down tem- perature, the rotor being fitted with ventila- tion fans, which drive the hot air into 8 sys- tem of ducts, distributing it through the power station for heating purposes.
