What you’re looking at

This page primarily features **advertisements and literary promotions** rather than political cartoons. The content reflects early 20th-century concerns: **Left Column:** Advertises "Foot-Ease" powder for soldiers' feet during WWI, citing its use in training camps and the military. Below this is a debate about **lockjaw (tetanus) prevention**—anti-vivisectionists opposed animal testing for vaccines, while Dr. W.W. Keen argued such opposition endangered troops. A brief humorous anecdote about "Armaduke Fearson" suggests that reading *Life* magazine brings joy to families. **Right Column:** Promotes upcoming *Ainslee's Magazine* fiction featuring authors May Edginton and Arthur Somers Roche, with a teasing description of a mystery story titled "Kissed." **Main Point:** The page reflects WWI-era practical concerns (soldier welfare, medical safety) alongside typical magazine promotion. The lockjaw debate shows contemporary tensions between animal-rights activists and military/medical establishment needs.

POWDER IN SHOES AS WEL AS. GUNS Foot=Ease to Bo Added to Equipment of Hospital Corps at Fort Wayne. Under the above heading the Detroit Free Press, among other things says: ‘The theory is that sol- diers whose fect are in good condition can walk farther and faster than soldiers who have corns and bunions incased in rawhide.” The Plattsburg Camp Manual advises men in training to shake Foot—Ease in their shoes each morning. ; One war relief committee reports, of all the things sent out in their Comfort Bags or ‘‘Kits,” Allen's Foot—Ease received the most praise from the sol- diers and men of the navy. It is used by American, French and British troops, because it takes the Friction from the Shoo and freshens the feet. There is no foot comforter equal to Allen's Foot—Ease, the antiseptic, healing powder to be shaken into the shoes and sprinkled in the foot-bath, the standard remedy for over 25 years for hot, tired, aching, erspiring, smarting, swollen, tender feet, corns, unions, blisters or callouses, Why not order a dozen or moro 25c. boxes to-day from your Druggist or Dep't. store to mail to your friends in training camps and in the army and navy. Do We Want a Revival of Lockjaw? In an appeal to “the common sense” of the parents and relatives of our troops at the front, Doctor W. W. Keen affirms in Science that the anti-vivisectionists who fight the Red Cross will, if they succeed in their agitation, revive lockjaw. That would mean the addition of the most agonizing of horrors to the pains of the present conflict. Few people, Doctor Keen writes, realize what terrible suffering is caused by lock- jaw—Current Opinion, O the contrary, many people realize the terrible — suffering caused by lockjaw. They also realize that, unless figures lie, more cases of lockjaw have resulted from Pasteur serums than from any other cause. ARMADUKE FEARSON sat down to the breakfast table with his usual frown, But as it was Tues- day and he had lately become an an- nual subscriber to Lire, he unwrapped the weekly copy, and he, as well as the whole Fearson family, had a joyful meal, cont Wie Ket esr Shs st tr : te .

This is very injurious, and may easily prove fatal. Many a prospect for a bright and prosperous career has been rendered chimerical, all because the victim did not let himself alone when he was doing pretty well, but, instead, per- sisted in pestering and nagging himself until he could hardly bear to have himself around. It is easy to see that a man will be willing to make almost any sacrifice in order to escape from such unbearable conditions. If you have a nagging disposition and simply can’t get along without nagging, remember that there are upon earth some fifteen hundred million human beings, to say nothing of the great numbers of lower animals; so why pick on yourself? MAY EDGINTON author of “ The Woman Who Broke the Rule,” contributes to July AtNnstet the first large installment of a stirring new novel entitled “ Angels.” In the complete novelette for July ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE the man who wrote “Loot” and “ Plunder,” proves delightfully that the detective-mystery story isn’t the only sort of fiction he is master of. Read “KISSED” Who kissed a certain young lady? She doesn’t know, and you won't know, until the very end of the story. It was not a commonplace kiss. It was a kiss that could be positively identified by the recipient. The reader will have a much better time than did the heroine in her search for the bestower.
