TRUTH WILL PAEYA.iL. NO one will question the accuracy of ( the Customs return*;. A paper laii before Par lament U-i* week fur* nishes a table of the consumption of articles in common use, which is start* ling until the surrounding circumstances are considered, and the reanon only smites ome like the flash of 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 thus : — Lb« Duty Total lbs used. per head, per head Sugar, 1895,65,368.960 88 5 3a 8^ Sugar, 1896, 67 .395,84) By 43* B}d Increase ... 1,826.880 9 osd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s «Jd Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 588 Is ll£d Decrense ... 41,048 -16 7*d It seems incredible that while the people u*ed more sugar they should consume less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the BriU ish product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UN RIVALLED SDRATITB V. and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for Its STBKKGTH and WONDKRFUL ROONOMT, the official testimony that 41,048 fewer pounds nf Tea have proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13,317 in the 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. SURA.TUR A TEA is not blended with Indian or China tens, nor is it handled from the tima it leaves the stores in Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. Reflect and consider what you are losinc annually by using ordinary tea. As-k your grocer for, and insist upon having, SUttATURA, and no other. EMPIRE COMPANY'S SUPERIOR BLENDED TEAS. FIRST FROM THE INCEPTION. FOREMOST EVER SINCE. NOT A LITTLE Of the phenomenal success of THE EMPIKE TEA COMPANY has been due to the marve lous 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 mi nut" to receive its full share of consideration. True, the uniform excellence of the Blends supplied has had something ' to do with the Company's progress, but that and the consistent lmprovment of the Teas are bat evidences of the splendid management, which is really the keystone of the altogether unique position the Company occupies to-day.
