TRUTH WILL PiIEVA.IL. ( NO one will question tho accuracy of the Customs returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week fur* nishes a table of the consumption of articles in common usr, which 19 start* ling until the surrounding circumstance* are considered, and tho reason only strikes one like the flash ot an electric searchlight. The consumption of Suear 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. ">68,960 88 5 3s BJ-rf ' Sugar, 1896,67.395.840 By 43< Bfd Increase ... 1,820.880 9 Ojd Tea, 1895, 4.472,5^8 604 2s 6jd T«a. 1896, 4.431,480 588 Is 11 id Decrease ... 41,048 "16 7*d It seems incredible that while the people u^ed more sugar they nhould consume less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas arc rapidly going out of consumption, and the Brits ish product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their placeForemost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNEIVALLED SUKATUBA. and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for its STRENGTH and WONDKRFUL KOONOMT, 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. BUKATURA TKA is not blended with Indian or China tens, nor is it handled from the tinn it leaves the store* in Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. BenVct and consider what you are losing annually by using ordinary tea. Af-li your grocer for, and insist upon having SURATTTRA, and no other. EMPIRE COMPANY'S SUPERIOR BLENDED TEAS.
