The Second Article of a series that Every Hottsctvi 4 is use iv/U:.U iv. &-2C&* It is indeed bard for the NewZealand housewife to realise* the remarkable changes that have occurred in the tea trade within the last eight months—changes which have resulted in greatly increased prices. As was shown in the first ■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 factor is Russia, with its enormous population of ■over 160 millions, which, at the stroke of a pen—xn almost a single night—lias been turned into nation •of tea drinkers. What tin's 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 7{;ibs, oi tea per head per annum. Moreover, the money previously spent or. other beverages by Russia is now available for tea. Hence, at the tea auctions, enormous quantities have been bought by Russian representatives, who readily pay increasing prices to secure what they. want. As a result, tea to-day costs the blender in New Zealand an average of 2id. tc 3d. per lb. more than eight months ago, and, unless lie is to face an enormous loss, he has only two alternatives —to i reduce his quality or increase his prices. j Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he was charging an excessive price for interior ten. If so, he is still able to sell the same grade at the old figure and probably still make a good profit, 'timber Tips" policy has always bfceri to give the best value the world can produce at the most reasonable prices. It has been •decided to continue tins 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 nud less hq;ilthfi:] teas, the proprietors are determined to maintain that standard of quality and value which has made'"Amber Tips" the most widely sold blend in the Dominion to-daj-—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 arid best tea that can be produced for the money—that it contains a tea which is so pure and healthful that it can he used by children, and by those with the weakest digestion, without harm.

It is also well to remember t:;: t *' Amber Tips'" gives more cups of delicious, frairrant tea of delightful flavour. Thus it still costs you less than others—at is still the cheapest tea in the Dominion, even though the prices have been rslishtly'increased.
