What you’re looking at

This page is predominantly **advertisements and filler content** rather than satirical cartoons. The main elements are: 1. **Palace Hotel ad** (top): Promotional material for San Francisco's Palace Hotel, highlighting nearby Mission Dolores as a tourist attraction. 2. **Bayer Aspirin ad**: A straightforward product advertisement emphasizing brand authenticity—"Say 'Bayer' and Insist!"—reflecting early-20th-century concerns about generic imitations. 3. **"The Editorial Instinct" cartoon** (center): A brief satirical piece depicting a powerful statesman visiting a newspaper office and angrily editing galleys, only to discover he's been revising his own speech—a joke about politicians' verbosity and editors' skepticism toward their output. 4. **Minor humor bits**: A British observer's comment on baseball ("It just isn't cricket") and a joke about a millionaire's sartorial taste. 5. **Various other ads and columns**: Including dandruff removal tips and Whiting-Adams brushes. The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture and light satirical commentary on politics and journalism.

San Trancisco’s famous eMission Within ten minutes’ ride of THE PALACE HOTEL, which is practically the center of the city for all business and social activities, is the Mission Dolores. Built 140 years ago, still in excel- lent condition, it stands today a monument to the zeal and industry of Father Junipero Serra and the mission padres of those picturesque days of California’s early history.

Approbation from Sir Hubert A BritIsHER, watching a game Of baseball, was heard to exclaim, “Though it’s copied from rounders And the players are bounders, It just isn’t cricket.” The Editorial Instinct T happened that the Great States- man also was a newspaper editor, and when he was not engaged in tell- ing the world how to solve its prob- lems he loved to make flying visits to the plant whose daily output was ninety-six columns ; y of adver- tising and the rest propaganda. Wholly unexpected, he drove up to his office and a moment later was seated at the editor’s desk. In a neat pile was a collection of galleys The Great Statesman read the first. “Bosh! Rot! Nonsense!” he sput- tered, heatedly. He grasped a thick pencil and slashed vigorously through the print, deleting passage after passage with firm strokes. His task finished, he looked up and beheld the managing editor watching him. “Here! I've cut that into some- thing that reads like sense,” the Great Statesman informed the watcher. “What in the world is this drivel, anyway ?” The managing editor glanced at the heavily scored proofs and smiled. “They are the advance copies of your next speech,” he said.

An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beauti glossy, silky hair, do by all means of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring ; use enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. Tho R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio. =? LOOK AROUND! EVERYBODYS USING WHITING-ADAMS BRUSHES lerry-go-round of Brushes.
