TRUTH WILL I'KEVAtL. NO one will question the accuracy of , the Customs returns. A paper laid before Parliament this 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 reason only strikes one 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 thus : — , Lbs Duty Total lbs used, per head, per head Sugar, 1895, 65,. i68,960 88 5 33 8 4 M Sugar, 1896, 67.395,840 894 3s B£d Increase ... 1,826.880 9 Ojd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s 6i'd Tea, 18S6, 4,431,480 588 Is ll£d Decrease ... 41,018 -16 7*d It seems incredible that while the 1 people used more sugar they should consume less Tea. The explanation is that 1 the China and Indian Teas are rapidly ; going out of consumption, and the Brits ish product, grown in Ceylon, is Tery properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNBIVALLED SU RATHE A, and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for its BTRBKGTH and WONDIBFOL 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. SURATURA TEA is not blendt-d with Indian or China tens, nor is it handled from tk« 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, SURATUfiA, and no oth»r. EMPIRE COMPANY'S SUPERIOR BLENDED TEAS. FIRST FROM THE INCEPTION. FOREMOST feVER SINCE.

True, the uniform excellence of the . Blends supplied has had something i to do "with the Company's pr^sress, but that and the consistent improvment of the Teas are but evidences of the splendid management, which \ is really the keystone of the altogether unique position the Company occupies to-day.
