What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine (May 25, 1918) contains two distinct elements: **"The Notion Counter" column** is a collection of brief satirical observations about love, marriage, human nature, and WWI-era society. Examples include quips about newlyweds, the futility of poets seeking payment, and a joke about a woman who calls her husband "darling" in public as marital "camouflage." One topical reference mentions the Kaiser in Paris, referencing the ongoing World War I. **The dominant content** is actually advertising—a full-page advertisement for Blue-jay corn plasters by Bauer & Black. This product promised painless corn removal within 48 hours using medicated wax pads. The ad emphasizes the dangers of traditional corn-paring (infection risk) and markets Blue-jay as a gentler alternative. The page reflects early 20th-century concerns (foot care remedies were major advertised products) and wartime anxieties, but is primarily a commercial advertisement rather than political satire.

The press agent thinks that the news- papers are giving an awful lot of space to this war. We worry a whole lot about things that happen after we are gone, when, as far as we are concerned, they will never happen, But for camouflage, the championship sill belongs to the woman who “dar- lings” her husband in public.
