~ TRUTH WILL 'pKEVAiL. NO one will qnetUion the Accuracy of the Custom* returns. A papt" laid before Parliament this week fur« nishes a table of the consumption of articles in common use, which is startling until the surrounding circumstances are considered, and the reason onlj strikes o»e like the flash ot au electric searchlight. The consumption of Sugar and Tea for the the two pait years, and the duty paid per head of population, is stated thus :- y Lbs Duty Total lbs used, per head, per head Sugar, 1895, 65,568,960 88 5 3s 8^ Sugar, 1896, 67.395.840 894 3« Bjl Increase ... 1.826 880 9 Ojd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s %\A Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 588 Is U\<\ Decrease... 41.048 -16 7H 1 It seems incredible that while the people u*ed more sugar they ehould consumo less Tea. Tho explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the Brt>» ish product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNRIVALLED SCRATUEA. and although there hare been doubts oast upon the claims that have been made for its BTBBNGTH «nd WONDKRFUL KCONOMY, the official testimony that 41,048 fewer pounds of Tea have proved sufficient for an incn»a*e of copulation of 13,317 in the 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. SUK4TURA TEA is not blended with Indian or China tens, nor is it handled from the timo it leaves the stores in Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. Reflect and consider what you are losing annually by using ordinary tea. A*«k your n rocer f° r - Rno - insist upon having, SUBATURA. and no other, EMPIRE COMPANY'S SUPERIOR BLENDED TEAS.
