THE FAD OF THE YEAR.
If You Have the Poster Craze
Here is Your Opportunity.

Everybody who is anybody, and
that means all nice people, is inter-
ested in the poster decorative idea.
1t has so many forms that it would
be almost an endless task to attempt
list, but the Great Philadelphia
Sunday "Press" has taken hold of
one possibility that is certain to get
everybody in this section talking.
With every copy of the Philadelphia
"Press' of next Sunday, august 81
will be given free a beautiful pic
ture, size 2Ox2S inches entitled "The
Maids of Fair Japan" 1t is by
Arter, and that guarantees its quail
ity. As picture it is well worthy
OF framing, but if you wish to be in
the swim you will take apair of
scissors cut around the lines ofthe
girls faces and the flowers, and then
paste the picture on a dark back
ground Of any material. Try it and
you will have the most striking
poster effect Of the year. 1t will be
necessary to make certain early in
this week that you can get next
"Sunday's Press" because the de-
mapd is certain to be tremendous
and the supply is limited.

REVIVAL OF THE CUT NAIL.

1t is interesting to note the growing
demand for the iron cut nail. This
demand has grown so strong that there
is some difficulty in supplying it and
there is considerable speculation as to
whether or not it does not mean a
return of the cut nail to favor if not
to its old time place in the building
trade. 1t appears that experience has
proven that the wire nail is sadly
lacking for certain purposes, at least
it does not supply the place of the cut
nail and the building trade is gener-
ally recognizing the fact and return
ing to a greater or less degree to the
use of the iron cut nail.
All of which is of special interest
to Wheeling, once the home of the cut
nail industry. The growing demand
for the cut nail should cause our man
ufacturers to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of overhauling their old nail plants
and putting them in working order
with view to supplying this new de-
mand for the old iron nail, whose su-
periority seems to be slowly but sure
ly getting vindication after these many
years.

THE BoER APPEAL.

Great Britain will not consider the
subject of independence for the South
African republics nor anything else
short of absolute and unconditional
surrender.
On the other hand the brave Afri-
kapders will accept nothing but their
independence and if needs must doubt
less will die fighting for it.
1t would be a CHASTITY stain on the
closing year of the Nineteenth Cen
fury for the world to permit this war
to continue until this brave race of
people is exterminated.
But European nations do not see
their way clear to intervening, espec-
tally since it is plainly England's pur-
pose to subjugate the South African
republics and add them to her own
domain. The fighting blood of the
British lion is reused and British re-
sources are not yet exhausted by a
good deal, so the other powers wisely
keep hands off.
Meanwhile, England, with conquest
in sight, declines the half-hearted Of
fer to mediate of the United States.
1t looks as if the world must stand
quietly by and see free government
wiped out of South Africa
