TRUTH WILL PREVAIL. NO one will question th<> accuracy of the Custom; retun.s.

The consumption of Su-jnr nn*i Tea for the the two past yei-rs, and tho duty paid per head of population, i* Btated thus : — Lbs Duty Total lbs used. per head, per hea<i Sugar, 1896,65,568,960 88 5 3s BJd Sugar, 1896,67.395,841) 894 3j Bfd Increase ... 1,826.880 9 Ojd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s 6jd Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 6"88 Is lljd Decrease ... 41,048 '16 7tf It seems iacrediblo that while the people used more sugar they should con surae les9 Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the BriK ish product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their place. Foremost among Ceylon Tens stands the UNKIVALLED SCKATUKA, and Although there have been doubts caßt upon the claims that have been made for its STRBNGTH and WONDIBFtXL KCONOMT, the official testimony that 41,048 fewer pounds of Tea have proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13.317 in the 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. SUKATURA TEA is not blended with Indian or China teas, nor is it handled from the tima it leaves the stores in Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. Reflect and consider what you are losing annually by using ordinary tea. Ask your grocer for, and insist upon having, SUKATTJRA, and no other, THE SEVEN AGES OF TEA DRINKING. All the world drinks Tea, And all the men and women dearly like it They have their breakfasts and the'r " five o'clocks," And one man in his time drinks many kinds. His drinking having seven stages. At first he known Not rubbish from the perfect growths of Eastern chue* ; And then rome wily wth Vilo packets of adulterated stuff, 'deception tr.es The ignorant to befool. Ann tU< n tea brewing, Stewing in teapots, making t«i -ir'r.'Ci ■ n-. ' Unfit for human drinking. Then t'u<- ' buyer ! Maketh strange oaths, and tries tin .>the«sort Purity wanting, no matter what the \ mixing, Seeking the blends of reputation, even Down in Wellington. And then the cheap stuff, In paper packages, not even lined, With tints unreal, and shreds of every cut Full of wild straw and modern dirtiness Such cheapness very dear. The sixth stage shifts, And then we find a tea that is a boon. It comes to as, well blessed, a real pure tea, From India's shores and far Ceylon. And this right manly choice Turns tea-drinking to pleasure, fair and free, The wholfl of the year round. Best scene of all Disclosed by these teas and their history, They're EMPIiiK COMPANY'S 1 I All the rest's oblivion. BEST TEAS ! BEST BLENDS ! BEST TABTK 1 BEST EVERYTHING!
