What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. It contains two major ads: 1. **Manning-Bowman Coffee Percolators** (left/center): Promotes kitchen appliances, emphasizing that their percolator extracts coffee's good qualities while removing "bitter, nerve-racking elements." Available in 100+ styles for various stoves and heat sources. 2. **Woodbury's Facial Soap** (right): Appeals to women with claims the soap "clears the skin of impurities" and offers free sample cakes. The page also includes a lengthy **historical narrative** about Roger Williams and Rhode Island's founding, discussing religious freedom, separation of church and state, and conscience rights—likely part of a serialized history feature. The small illustrated vignettes show a woman at a vanity (Woodbury's ad) and product packaging. **No political cartoons or satire are present.** This is a straightforward commercial/editorial page typical of early-20th-century Life magazine's mixed content.

Coffee Pot Style Pereolator’ pA emie Bowman Coffee Per- colator extracts the fragrant, aromatic qualities from coffee and leaves behind the bitter, nerve-racking elements that make coffee hurtful. The process is simple and never-failing. Finely ground coffee should be used and less than in an ordinary pot. Place the - Percolator, with a right measure of water, on an “Alcolite” burner stove—or, failing that, on your kitchen range—and in a few moments a clear, delicious beverage can be poured that is a veritable revelation to one who has known only the old-time coffee pot with its boiled and bitter contents. anning- owman Coffee Percolators are made in more than 100 styles and sizes. Coffee pot style for use on Manning- Bowman chafing dish stoves and on coal and gas ranges. Urn style with alcohol lamps and electric heaters, in copper, nickel- plate, silver-plate and aluminum.

Quite a number of people at that time quit the use of beer, and the author gave his hand in marriage to a wealthy young lady who was attracted by bis gallantry and fresh young beauty. Roger Williams now settled at Provi- dence Plantation, where he was j by Mrs. Hutchinson, who also be! 1 the church and state should not be united, but that the state should, protect the church and that neither should un- dertake to boss the other. It was also held that religious qualifications should not be required of political aspirants, also that no man should be required to whittle his soul into a shape to fit the religious auger-hole of another. This was the beginning of Rhode Island. She desired to join the New England colony at once, but was refused, as she had no charter. Plymouth claimed also to have jurisdiction over Rhode Island. This was very much like Ply- mouth. Having banished Roger Williams and Mrs. Hutchinson to be skinned by the Pequods and Narragansetts over at Nar- ragansett Pier, they went on about their business, fogging Quakers, also ducking cld women who had lumbago, and burn- ing other women who would not answer affirmatively when asked, “Be you a witch?” Then when Roger began to make im- provements and draw the attention of Eastern capital to Rhode Island and to organize a State or colony with a char- ter, Plymouth sai Told on, Roger: religiously we have cast you out, to live on wild strawberrics, clams, and Indians, but from a mercant nd political point of view you will please notice that we have a string which you will notice is attached to your wages and discoveries.” Afterwards, however, Roger Williams obtained the necessary funds from ad- miring friends with which to go to Eng- land and obtain a charter which united the colonies, yet gave to all the first of- ficial right to liberty of conscience ever granted in Europe or Amer Prior to that a man’s conscience had a brass col- lar on it with the roya thereon, and was kept picketed out in the king’s grounds. The owner could go and look at it on Sundays, but he never had the use of it. With the advent of freedom of politi- cal opinion, the individual use of the conscience has become popularized, and the time is coming when it will grow to a great size under our wise institutions and fostering skies. Instead of turning over our consciences to the safety de- posit company of a great political party or religious organization and taking the key in our pocket, let us have individ- ual chary: of this useful little instru- ment and be able finally to answer for its growth or decay —From Bill Nye’s “Comic History of the United States.” Reprinted by permission of the publishers, Messrs.
