TEUTH WILL I'EEVAIL. NO one will question the accuracy of the Customs returns. A paper laii before Parliament t'us week fur* nishes a table <*f the consumption of articles in common usf, wliich is start* hog until the surrounding circumstances are considered, and the reason only strikes oae like the flash ot an electric searchlight. The consumption of Sugar and Tea for the the two past years, and the duty paid per head of population, is stated than :— Lbs Duty Total lbs used, per head, per head Bngar, 1895. 65. .188,960 88 5 3s 8^ Sugar, 1896, 67.395,840 894 3« 8f d Increase ... 1,826.880 9 Ojd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s 6}d Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 s*BB Is 11 id Decrease ... 41,048 -16 7*d It seems incredible that while the people used more sugar they should consurae less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the Bnt» ish product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNBIVALLED SUEATURA, and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for its BTRBKOTH and WONDBBFUL ROOKOICT, the official testimony that 41,048 fewer pounds «f Tea have proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13,317 in , the 1896 period is too convincing to ad- ' mit of further question. ' SUKATURA TEA is not blended with Indian or China teas, nor is it handled from the time 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, SUBATUBA, and no other. j THE SEVEN AGES or I TEA DRINKING. All the world drinks Tea, And all the men and women dearly like it They have their breakfasts and their " five o'clocks,' 1 And one man in his time drinks many kinds, His drinking having seven stages. At first he knows Not rubbish from the perfect growths of Eastern climes ; And then some wily shopman with Vile packets of adulterated stuff, deception tree The ignorant to befool. And then tea brewing, i Stewing in teapots, making tea actrocioue, } Unfit for human drinking. Then the buyer Maketh strange oaths, and tries another sort Parity 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 us, well blessed, & real pure tea, From India's shores and far Ceylon. And this right manly choice Turns tea-drinking to pleasure, fair and free, The whole of the year round. Best scene of all Disclosed by these teas and their history, They're EMPIRE COMPANT'S 1 J All the rest's oblivion. BEST TEAS ! BEST BLENDS ! BEST TASTB ! BEST EVERYTHING! Sold in lib and *lb packets, 61b and 101 b tins, and half-chests, 451 b. Full Weight of Tea it Always Given. EMPIRE TEA* COMPANY, WELLINGTON. W. AND G. TURNBULL akd Co., Fbopbibtors.
