TRUTH WILL I'EEVArX. NO one will question the nccuracy of the Customs returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week fur* nishes • table of the consumption of articles in common use, which v Ktart* ling until the surrounding circumntanee* are considered, and the reason only strikes oae like the flash of an electric searchlight. The consumption of Sugar and Tea for the the two past jears, and the duty paid per head of population, is staled thus : — Lbs Duty Total lbs need, per head, per head Sugar, 1895,65 . t >68,960 88 5 3a 8^ Sugar, 1896, 67.

Decrease ... 41,048 -16 7fd i It seems incredible that while the I people mcd more sugar they ehould conI Bume leas Tea. The explanation is that ■ the China and Indian Teas arc rapidly going out of consumption, and the Brits ixh product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNRIVALLED bCRATURA. aud although there hnre been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for its STBINOTH and WONDRHFDL RCONOMT, the official testimony that 41,048 fewer pounds of T«"a have proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13 317 in the 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. BURATURA TEA is not blendod with Indian or China tens, nor m it handled from the time it leaven the ati>re« in Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. Reflect and consider wh-it you are losing annually by using ordinary tea. A«-k your grocer for, and insist upon having. SUU ATURA, and no other, EMPIRE COMPANY'S SUPERIOR BLENDED TEAS.
