This page primarily consists of **advertisements** rather than satirical cartoons. The main content includes: **"The Business Men's Lunch"** — A brief satirical piece about how rushed eating habits damage gums. It mocks modern business culture's frenetic pace ("we force the pace") and argues that soft modern food, eaten too quickly, causes gum disease ("Pink toothbrush"). This is framed as social criticism of American business culture's unhealthy lifestyle. **Mrs. Pep's Diary** — A serialized humor column recounting domestic observations, including complaints about eating during concert attendance and a husband's birthday gift mishap. **"The Senator"** — A short poem apparently by a politician reflecting on his role. The page is dominated by **product advertisements**: Ipana Toothpaste, Bayer Aspirin, and a garter product called "New Garter for Crookedlegs." These ads employ the period's typical marketing appeals—medical endorsements and promised remedies for minor afflictions. The satirical content is minimal; the page functions primarily as a revenue-generating advertising vehicle with modest editorial humor pieces.

32 LIFE x) De business — how does it harm your gums ? ANY OF US feel that we're blocking the path of progress unless we're hitting on all six, every minute of the day. We live on our nerves—we force the pace—and worst of all, we eat too quickly. Especially with the soft, modern food of to- day, this hasty eating is ruining our teeth by cheating our gums of the stimulation and massage once provided by rough, coarse food. Soft, bleeding and tender gums are the result. “Pink toothbrush” is the fore- runner of worse trouble to come. Don’t let your toothbrush “show pink” To restore gums toa hard, normal condition, thoasands of dentists prescrite Ipana Tooth Paste. Many have written us that in stub- born cases they direct a gum-massage with Ipana after the ordinary cleaning with Ipana and the brush. For Ipana, because of the pres- ence of ziratol, is a great aid in alleviating conditions of tenderness and softness. It i the one great enemy of the“'pink toothbrush.” Send for a sample today Jast because Ipana is beneficial, don’t think i it has a terrible taste. It's delicious and it leaves your mouth with a fine, clean feeling that will delight and surprise you.

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. | The RL.
