What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine (May 22, 1920), not political satire. The main content consists of commercial ads for cigarettes, medical devices, and consumer products typical of the era. The one notable satirical piece is **"The Dipsomaniac"** by Minna Levine—a poem mocking Prohibition (which began in January 1920). The protagonist, Theophilus Lysander Smith, was a heavy drinker who resented the new "Dry law." The dark humor: unable to drink on earth, he flies a plane so high he reaches the stars and drinks "the Dipper dry"—a celestial escape from sobriety laws. The page also includes light humor in the dialogue snippets ("Not Always, Eh?") about Dutch people and practical domestic matters. The remaining content—medical appliances, piano lessons, skin care—represents typical Judge advertising rather than editorial commentary.
