What you’re looking at

This Life magazine page is dominated by a **Schlitz beer advertisement** (center-left), not political satire. The ad argues that dark brown bottles preserve beer quality better than clear glass, which allows light to cause decay. The copy emphasizes scientific authority ("chemists have repeatedly warned") to market brown bottles as superior for purity. The page also includes: - A brief article about **Mrs. Pankhurst at Harvard** (top right), discussing whether Harvard should permit women speakers. The author argues Harvard's restrictive policy has practical merit, given students' susceptibility to female speakers' influence—a period-typical paternalistic view. - Several short humorous anecdotes about rigid corsets, a lawyer's tight gown, and frontier hardship. - Small advertisements for **Calox Oxygen Tooth Powder** and a **Matchless Pocket Lighter**. The content reflects early 20th-century attitudes about women in public spaces and the era's trust in "scientific" marketing claims.

“TRIRIE® er keeps best } Brown ottles Dark bottles only are used for beer in Germany and England. The chemists of this country as well have repeatedly warned against the possible dangers to purity following the use of light glass bottles. Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives protection against light. We have adopted every idea, every invention, that could aid to ittain and preserve purity. If you knew what we e know about beer, you would say “Schlitz —Schlitz in Brown Bottles.” Order a case from your dealer today. See that crown or cork is branded “Schlite™ The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous Rigid Tits, says a United States paper, has Mrs, Pankhurst at Harvard (Concluded from page 173) been exceptions made in the past, it is not the policy of Harvard to permit women to speak to the students.” That is appalling, of course, but still—con- sider how susceptible young male college students are to the propositions of the other sex! Suppose Harvard had no such pol- icy and encouraged the students to hear all public-speaking women glad- ly! Across the street from this office is a newspaper shop, and in the window hangs a poster which reads: “ Miss Lil- lian Russell writes cach day for the on How I Made Myself Beauti- ful.” Suppose Miss Russell, having thus conferred herself upon literature, should be invited by the Harvard Male League for Beauty to address the students on the Attainment and Preservation of Pulchritude. Would Mr. Olmstead feel that a college hall should be provided for her? No doubt he would, but if not, perhaps he will admit that the “ policy of Harvard” has some basis of practical expediency. Yet, if it is a policy at all, it is probably elastic, and we will bet Mr. Olmstead a hat that a room would be found on occasion at Harvard in which Miss Jane Addams could talk on “Slums,” or Mrs. Ella Flagg Young on “Primary Education.” CLEAN YOUR TEETH WITH OXYGEN by using Calox, the Oxygen Tooth Powder.
