This page showcases a contest where readers submitted comic strip sequences and Judge published the winning entry. The winner, Robert T. Chadbourne from Maine, created a multi-panel cartoon depicting domestic chaos—a man sits reading while his family creates mayhem around him: children run amok, objects fly, someone appears injured or distressed. The joke's title asks "These gave the winner a run for his money," suggesting the cartoon illustrates the saying through literal visual chaos. The other contest entries shown depict various comedic scenarios of ordinary domestic life and mishaps. The page also contains a full-page advertisement for "Witter Water," a patent medicine claiming to cure high blood pressure through mineral-rich spring water. The testimonial and medical statistics are typical early-20th-century health product marketing. The ad's inclusion alongside the satirical contest content is ironic—Judge frequently mocked dubious medical claims while accepting their advertisements.
