The Second Article of a series that Every Housewife Should Read. It is indeed hard for the New Zealand housewife to realise die remarkable changes that have occurred in the tea trade within tiie last eight months —changes which have resulted in greatly increased prices. As was shown in the iirst article of this series, tea is in great demand as the beverage of the 25 million men who are under arms to-day, clue to the fact that it is the most stimulating and invigorating drink--easily transported and easily handled. But there is another element which exerts almost as great an influence in the steadily rising cost of tea. This (actor is Russia, with its enormous population of over 160 millions, which, at the stroke of a pen—in almost a single night—has been turned into nation of tea drinkers. What this means is readily seen when one considers that until September last the Russian people consumed less than 1 lb. of tea per head per annum ; whereas in our own Maori land the average is over 7ilbs, of tea per head per

Moreover, the money previously spent on oilier beverages by Russia is now available for tea. Hence, at the tea auctions, enpnyous quantities have been bought bv Russian representatives, who readily payincreasing prices to secure what they want. As a result, tea to-dav costs the blender in New Zealand an average of to 3d'. f per lb. more than eight months ago, and, unless he is to face an enormous loss, he has only two alternatives —to reduce his quality or increase his prices.

Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he was charging an excessive price for i lienor te;'. If so, he is still able to sell the same grade at the old figure and probably still make a good profit. "Amber Tips" policy has always been to give the best value the world can produce at the moi-t reasonable prices. It has been decided to continue this policy, therefore the price has been slightly increased—by 2d. per lb. Although advised by many to reduce costs by the admixture of | harsher, inferior uiifl lets healthful teas, | the proprietors are determined to ' maintain that standard of quality and I value which has made'"Amber'Pips" the most widely sold blend in the Dominion to-day—the most largely sold blend of any country in the world in proportion to population, Thus, if the name "Amber Tips" is on the packet, you know that it contains the finest, purest and best tea that can be produced for the money—that it contains a tea which is so pure and healthful that it can be used by children, and by those witli the weakest digestion, without harm. ]t i* also well to remember that " Amber Tips" gives more imps of delicious, fragrant tea of delightful flavour. Thus it still costs you less than others—it is still the cheapest tea in the Domin- : ion, even though the prices have been slightly increased. We believe that the housewives of New Zealand would rather secure the finest value that can be given—even at a slightly increased price—than that quality and values should be cheapened. It is now for you to show whether you approve of this decision or not. I/10, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. The only tea that has to increase it* prices — the foregoing will tell you why.
