TRUTH WILL jfiilSVA.iL. NO one will question the accuracy of the Customs returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week fur* nisbes 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 of 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, 568.960 88 5 3s B£rt Sugar, 1896, 67.395.840 89"4 3* Bfd Increase ... 1,826 880 -9 OJd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s 6jd Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 5*83 Is lljd Decrease ... 41,048 -16 7H It seems incredible that while the people used more sugar they should consume less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the BriK ish product, grown in Ceylon, is Tery properly taking their place. Foremost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNRIVALLED SDRATUEA. and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for its STRENGTH and WONPKBFTL KCONOMT, the official testimony that 41,048 fewer pounds of Tea hare proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13,317 in the 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. BUHATURA TEA is not blended with Indian or China teas, nor is it handled from the 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, SUttATORA, and no other. W. G.
