M & PV r A Cold will go right Nothing is so infectious as a co!d. Stop it at once with a dose or two of Bennington's Irish Moss. It is a sure cure for coughs and colds, and should be in every household. fJL TP %TS^ gives speedy relief whether the cold be located in head, throat or lungs—it clears the choked-up air passages, banishes that “stuffy” feverish feeling, relieves that dry, parching sensation in the throat, and eases the lungs. This lady, like thousands more, would not be without it:— Dunedin. “Since b«ln# in New Zealand, I have used Boiinington's Irish Moss with very groat success. I have found it most bone- . fleial for the children for coughs and colds, during the cold damp weal lierand &uiys like to keep a boule id the house.” J. W. GOTTEN. Ask for, and insist on Retting Bennington's. No other is "just as good.” All chemists and stores. Sold,-.. large and wn«U bottles. flosNiscra-cj CAHSACStN IRiSHMOSS

A Statement that Every Housewife Should Read The war has faced every tea merchant with the problem of increasing prices or reducing his quality. He has to follow one course or the oilier —there’s no escape—for the wholesale cost of line tea in Eastern markets has increased over per lb. since August last. The main reason for this rise has been the greatly increased demand —and the fact that tea production cannot materially increase for at least five years. Take 'for instance the enormous quantity of tea required for the men in the trenches and on active

service. It is readily seen why tea has been selected as the soldiers’ beverage—it is easily transported —is quickly and readily prepared anywhere—and above all it is invaluable j for its invigorating and stimulating qualities. With the exception of j 3 million Britishers, but few of the 25 million men under arms in Europe to-day were previously tea drinkers—yet almost in a day tea had to be found for them. -■ - Do you wonder then, that the tea has gone up, up, up in price?— that to-day fine tea costs the packer in New Zealand on the- average to 3d. per lb. more than in August last. Add to this Russia’s 160 millions, who, with a stroke of the pen, have been turned into tea drinkers by the Vodka prohibition —add a score of minor causes and you will see why the increase had to come. Therefore, too, you will see that any tea giving value for the money cannot be sold at the same price as in August last. It simply can’t be done—-unless, of course, the price originally charged was absolutely excessive. If a fair price and good value was formerly given; the packer is now faced with a loss on every packet. There’s no escape from the facts—either prices have to be increased —or, as an alternative, quality and value.must be reduced by the admixture of cheaper, inferior, less healthful teas. , The “Amber Tips” Proprietor# are determined that, in their case, this alternative will never be taken. I ' Amber Tips” remarkable rise in a few I years from an unknown brand to by far I the largest selling tea in New Zealand— I the largest selling tea in the world in proportion to population—is due to its I quality and remarkable value. 'The same wonderful value will still be given—nothing but /the finest teas will l>e used, but to do so the price has to be increased. I We are convinced that most bonjtes in New Zealand would rather pay 2d. per lb. more and get the finest tea that can be produced rather than pay the old price and get an inferior article --with an admixture of poorer teas, less healthful alike to nerves and digestion. Forget quality and health fulness—consider the question purely from the standpoint of economy—there too “Amber Tips’’leads, for every pound will give more cups—and at a less price per cup. - cup for cup, there ano cheaper tea ’Therefore oven at the new prices Amber Tips is still the cheapest you get hotter tea—more delicious flavour—finer fragrance— while, as the Lancet investigation showqd, your health will benefit. I Surely because of a penny extra per ' half lb. packet you will not deprive your--1 self of a tea which for quality, flavour, | fragrance, and economy is unique and I unsurpassable. The housewives tfS Few Zealand wanri ‘ a good article and good value, and ofie trial convinced them that Amber T. ipfl is a tea that nothing else could equal. Do they still want value and quality? We believe they do—wo know it. 99 ! 1/10-, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. 1 The only tea that has to increase its prices—the foregoing will tell you why.
