What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and humor columns**, not political satire. **"The Notion Counter"** by Douglas Malloch is a **lighthearted aphorism column** offering domestic and social observations—mostly jokes about marriage, women, and everyday life. The references to "the Czar" and "Russia needs a good reign" appear to be generic examples of misfortune, not specific political commentary (though the 1918 date suggests awareness of Russian upheaval). The dominant content is a **full-page advertisement for Blue-jay corn plasters**. The accompanying illustration shows women discovering this "modern scientific treatment" for corns—positioning the product as progressive and embarrassment-free compared to older, messier remedies. The headline "Ashamed of Corns—As People Should Be" plays on social shame to market the solution. Additional small ads include **1,000 Island House** (resort), **Great Bear Spring Water**, and a brief **"Nerve"** joke column. This is essentially a **commercial magazine page** with light humor, not satirical commentary.

If we realized that v do each day we wouldn’t seem to have so much to do. It isn’t what a woman sees in her hus- band that makes her happy but what she overlooks. A man who teaches a girl a new way to kiss must have a lot of confidence in her. Two women are like a pair of scissors. You can get into a lot of trouble between them. A girl is always willing to be taught, especially when she already knows. The Bible proves that old maids are wicked: The wicked flee when no man pursueth. Aman may hate to hoe the garden but he is never too tired to dig angle-worms.

No man yet was ever egotistical enough to like his looks in a new hat. The most important thing to under- stand about a mule is where to stand. Many a man gives his wife bushels of love and gets a peck in return. The humor the world laughs at is the humor that laughs at the world. When a private opinion is promoted it becomes general opinion. Life won’t seem so dark if you make light of your troubles. There are still too many of our Hora- tiuses at bridge.

For people nowadays know that acorn is passe. And that naught but neglect can account for it. It is like a torn gown which you fail to repair. Or a spot which you fail to remove. The fault lies in neglectin, - minute duty—just as with a corn. Any com pain can be stopped in a mo- ment, and stopped for good. Any corn can be ended quickly and completely. All that is necessary is to apply alittle Biue-jay plaster. It is done fa’ jifly. It means no inconvenience. Then a bit of scientific wax begins its | gentle action. In two days, usually, the whole corn disappears. old, tough corns require a second application, but not often.
