What you’re looking at

This page combines editorial correspondence with advertising. The left side features reader letters debating social issues of the era: **"Naturally Anxious"** discusses a boycott of beef and pork, then expands to criticize proposed boycotts of clothes—the writer fears clothing boycotts will create social embarrassment, particularly regarding women appearing without "neck and shoulders" (suggesting concerns about immodest dress). **"A Voice from Colorado"** supports women's suffrage, praising *Life* for advocating it while disagreeing on other matters. The writer argues women's rights movements deserve "admiration and respect." **"The 'Outlook' and Life"** references a competing magazine's position on women's suffrage. The dominant advertisement promotes the **Monroe Refrigerator**, emphasizing its one-piece porcelain interior (no cracks for bacteria), cleanliness, and use in "BEST homes" and hospitals—linking domestic hygiene to modern technology and class status.

Denver is a good example. Every prostitute in the city gets in a vote early and often and they wield some political power.
