Rensselaer Journal, Volume 12, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 June 1902 — “Laugh and Grow Fat.” [ARTICLE]

“Laugh and Grow Fat.”

Life is such a serious business to the average mortal that an opportunity for a hearty laugh is more than welcome to most people. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine,” and so do the humorous features of that great metropolitan daily, The ChicagoRecord Herald. The first thing that greets you on the first page of every issue is the humorous cartoon by John T. McCutcheon, the well-known artist, that frequently tells more at anglance than could be conveyed in a column of reading matter. Every issue contains also a humorous small story on thO editorial page and the “Alternating Currents” columns written by S. E. Kiser, one of the most popular humorists in the country. In addition to all these, the Sunday issue always includes a comic section, guaranteed to produce laughter.
