TRUTH WILL I>REV*iL. NO one will question the nccuracy of the Customs returns. A papelaid before Pariainent this week furnishes a table "f the consumption of articles in common use, which is startling until the surrounding circumstances are considered, and the reason only strikes oae like the flash ot an electric searchlight. The consumption of Sugar ami Tea for the the two past years, and the duty paid per head of population, is stated thus : — Lbs Duty Total lbs used, per head, per head Bugar, 1895,66,568,960 88 5 3» B*i Sugar, 1896,67.395,840 864 3« Mfd Increase ... 1,826.880 9 Ojd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s Bjd Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 588 Is ll£d ! Decrease... 41,048 -16 7H ! It Beems incredible that while the people used more sugar they should consume less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the Brits ish product, grown iv Ceylon, is very properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNRIVALLED SUKATITRA. and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for Its STBKKOTH and WONDBRFOL KCONOMY, 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. SURATUR A TEA is not blended with Indian or China tens, 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, BUKATURA. and no other. MPIRE COMPANY'S SUPERIOR BLENDED TEAS. FIRST FROM THE INCEPTION. FOREMOST liVER SINCE. NOT A LITTLE Of the phenomenal succoas of THE EMPIRE TEA COMPANY has been due to the marvellous amount of care lavished on the smallest detail by the Management. From the inception of the Company to the present time there has been exhibited a policy of attention alike to great things and small, no trifle being too rninut" to receive its fall share of consideration. Trne, the uciform excellence of the Blends supplied has had foruothing 1 to do with the Company'^ pr^rress, but that and the consistent improv xnent of the Teas are but evirtpnees of the splendid management, which is really the keystone of the altogether unique position the Company cccv pies to-day.
