Of SANDER’S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT—its freedom from resins and woody impurities, its great antiseptic, healing, stimulating powers, and its safety, that prompted the highest medical authorities to recommend it as the only eucalyptus lit for internal \ use. At the Supreme Court of Victoria, a witness testified that he was made much worse by a substitute which was sold as “just as good” as Sander’s Extract, and his trouble (ulcer), was healed rapidly by the genuine Sander Extract afterwards. In disease It is the drop which cures that counts, and the common eucalyptus which is fit for mechanical purposes, such as making varnish only, should neyer he employed as a remedial agent. Sander’s Extract can he used on the most tender surface or internally with perfect safety, and when taken as directed will always benefit.

Why Tea Costs More The l‘hird Article of" a Series dealing with a question which vitally affects every housewife. The increased demand for tea today is due to to the tact thal huge quantities are wanted for the 25 million men under arms. The Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is no drink so stimulating and beneficial, and lienee they must have tea for their men no matter what it costs. Then, too, at the stroke of a pen, 'die great Russian Nation has been turned into a tea drinking people, and the money previously spent on Vodka is now available for the purchase of tea But there is only a limited supply of tea and that supply is not sufficient to fill the present requirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Cevlon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2|d to 3d per lb. more than in August last. This, of course, affects New Zcalr jid very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at prices which cannot be equalled. Although this seems a bold statement, it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion of the tea imports to England consist of what is known as “red stalk" tea, the lowest possible grade—-so low that it is prohibited throughout Australasia. Yet even this lowest grade is sold in England at 1/6 or more per lb., while for fine teas of the quality of “Amber Tips,” 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. S is asked.

Tea experts the world over are astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in “ Amber Tips” at so low a mice, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that “Amber Tips” is to-day the most popular brand in New Zealand, Millions of packets of “.Ambers Tips” are sold per annum. It is stocked in every shop from the North Cape to the Bluif. Only exceptional value could he responsible for so exceptional a s;;’s. Tint fine tea is now costing the “Amber Tips" Proprietors, as well as other tea merchants, an average of 2Jd. .to 3d. per lb. more than in August, 1314. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war, the tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should he continue to pack the same quality at his old prices. Of coure there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas, The “Amber Tips” Proprietors were advised by many to do this, but instead they decided to raise the price by 2d. per lb.. and to continue to give the public that same splendid value’ which has always been associated with the name “Amber Tips.” Now, Mrs. Housewife, what is jour opinion of the whole matter? Would you rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a J-lb. packet more—-or would you rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price? But you say “other teas have not been raised in [trices,” If so you can readily see that either excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2pi. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, oihora liewy loss must be faced. But even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. (up for cup, value for value, nothing v ‘re can equal it, while it is so Euro and ; althful that it can be taken y even the-" of the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weigh with you. Consider them carefully—write and tell us your co:.■ fusions. We believe that you wantqm, ty and that you want value. For that j "on we have raised our prices because o. : y by doing so can we continue to give; • u the same honest quality and the sanje honest va!" e >. 101
