TBUTH WILL PiiiiVA.L. NO one will question the accuracy of the Customs returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week fur* niahes a table of the consumption of articles in common use, which la start' ling until the surrounding circumstances are considered, and the reason onlj strikes one like the flash ot an electric searchlight. The consumption of Suear and Tea for the the two past years, and the dutj paid per head of population, is stated thus : — I Lbs Duty Total lbs used. per head, per henrl Sugar, 1895,65 .. =568,960 88 5 3s 8^ Sugar, 1896, 67.395,840 By 43< Bjd Increase ... 1,826 880 9 OJd Tea, 1895, 4.472.5V8 604 2s 6Jd Tea, 1896, 4.431,480 SSB Is ll£d Decrease ... 41,048 -16 7*d It seems incredible that while the people used more sugar they ehould consume less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly ' going out of consumption, and the Brits ish product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNRIVALLED SCRATURA. and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for ttl BTBBNGTH and WONDRKFUL KCONOMT, 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 TKA ia not blended with Indian or China tens, nor is it handled from the tim* it learps the store* 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, SURATURA, and na other.
