What you’re looking at
This is primarily a **commercial/advertising page** with some satirical content. The main elements are: **The Humor Pieces:** - "A Disquieting Prospect" satirizes boarding house meals—a young man seeking lodging discovers the landlady is phoning a cake recipe, implying meager food rations. The joke reflects post-WWI concerns about food scarcity/rationing. - "Conservation" references Herbert Hoover's food conservation campaign (he was Food Administrator during WWI), joking that men fear being caught "hoarding" even an apple. **The Illustrations:** Five patriotic maritime scenes by James Montgomery Flagg (a famous WWI-era illustrator) celebrate sailors, likely wartime propaganda. Titles reference naval themes ("Captain Kidd's Treasure," "War Babies"). **Heavy Advertising:** Hotel Ansonia, Evans Ale (non-intoxicating), moth prevention products, and the Judge Art Print Department dominate the page. The overall tone reflects **1918 wartime America**—rationing anxieties, patriotic mobilization, and commercial opportunism coexisting on a single page.

AN wcnsletog ae young man con- BARNEY templating negotiations with a boarding mistress who had no reputation at all for cloying the appetites of her guests, entered the back parlor at the moment the lady he sought was tele- phoning the recipe for her favorite cake toa friend. Hat in hand, the caller stood listening with growing dismay until the conclusion of the conversation. “Four eggs, one pound of flour, half a pound of sugar, half a pint of milk, a pinch of salt and a piece of butter the size of an egg. Well, young man, what can I do for you?” After wild but futile groping for some graceful method of retreat, the applicant gulped away manfully until he was finally able to make reply with a passable degree of dignity. Jell—er—I called to inquire about board, but if that was a grocery order I just heard, I think I'd better be looking somewhere else.” Tips A BAD toupee often shine. The bachelor of today may be entirely engrossed with the subject of “dressed chicken” and yet not have any interest whatever in poultry. It is no particular indication of chivalry when a man gives up a whole seat to a homely woman who has over-indulged in perfumery. spoils a good “The mission of this paper is to preach the gospel of happiness” Copyright, 1918, by LeslieSudge Company.
