**Main Content:** This page is dominated by advertisements for patent medicines and services, with one central cartoon titled "Wonder When We Eat." **The Cartoon:** Illustrator Fred Nanivel depicts an American WWI soldier in military uniform. The satire mocks the soldier's singular preoccupation with food. Despite being a decorated war hero ("croix de guerre"), marching through Victory Arch, and parading down Broadway, the soldier's repeated refrain is "Gee, when do we eat?" **The Point:** This is lighthearted mockery of American soldiers' notorious complaints about Army rations and feeding schedules during WWI. It suggests that even patriotic celebration cannot overshadow a soldier's basic hunger and practical concerns. The joke reflects contemporary attitudes toward doughboys—portraying them as simple, food-focused rather than idealistic about military glory. **Historical Context:** Published during or shortly after WWI, this reflects American popular culture's treatment of returning soldiers with genial humor rather than serious reflection.
