The Third Article _ of a Series dealing with a question uhich vitally affects lvbiV houscwire. The increased demand for tea today is due to to the fact that huge quantities are wanted for the 25 million men under arms. The Heads of the Annies of the world know that there is no drink so Stimulating and beneficial, and hence thev must have tea tor their men no matter what it costs. Then, too, at the stroke of a. pen, the great Russian Nation lias been turned into a tea drinking, people, and the money previously spsnt on Yodka is now available for the purchase of tea. But there is only a limited supply of tea and that supply is not sufiicient 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 2kl to 3d per lb, more than in August last. This, of course, affects New Zealand 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 cr more per lb., while for line teas of the quality of "Amber Tips," 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. 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 any-

where, that "Amber Tips" is to-day the most popular brand in New Zealand, Millions of packets of "Ambers Tip?" are sold per annum. It. is stocked in evcrv shop from the North Cape to tho Ulnl'l". Only exceptional value could be responsible for so exceptional a sale. lint line tea is now costing the "Amber Tip?." Proprietors, as welt as other,tea merchants, an average of '2\d. to :>L per 11). more than in August, 1914. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war. the tea merchant is-to-day faced with an enormous lossshould he continue to pack the same quality at his old prices. Of courc there is fciie alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas. Tho "Amber Tips" Proprietors wore 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 your 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 yon rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price ? Hut you say "other teas have not been raised in prices." If so you cai sec that either excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2UI. or 3d. in cost per lb. siiil enables a profit to be made —-or quality must be reduced, oihera heavy loss must bo faced. <. But "even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cm\\ value for value, nothing else can equal it, while it is so pure and healthful that it can betaken by even those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weigh with you. Consider them carefully—write and tell us your conclusions. We betieve that you want quality and that you want value. For that reason we have raised our [trices because only by doing so can we continue to give you the same honest quality and the same honest value. 101 l/10, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. The only tea that has to increase Us prices—the foregoing iclll tell you why. SUFFERED AGONY UNTIL REXONA CURED THEM " Herewith allow mc to thank you for tha complete eradication and cure of corai.
