Costs More— The Third Article of a Series dealing with a question which vitally affects every housewife. 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 Armies of the world know that there is no drink so stimulating and beneficial, and hence thev must have tea foe their men no matter what it costsThen, too, at the stroke of a pen, the 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 ir* Cevlon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 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 sokt 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 staik'* 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. r white for fine teas of the quality of "Amber Tips," 2/S to 3/4 per lb. is asked.Tea experts the world-over are astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in " A tuber Tips" at so low a ©rice, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that ** Amber Tips" is to-day tlte most popular brand in New Zealand. Millions of packets of "Ambers Tips" are sold per una am. It is stocked in every shop from th.i North Cape t«* the Bluff. Only exceptional value «ouid be responsible for so exceptional a sa'e. But fine tea is now costing *&* "Amber Tips" Proprietors, a* wit «* other tea merchants, an average- «»f 2|<L to 31. ]>er lb. more than in 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 «f 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 io give the public that same splendid value which has always been associated with the name "Amber Tips." Now. Mrs. Housewife, what is j««r opinion of the whole matter? Would yoa rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a $-Ib. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old

price r Hat you say "other teas have not been raised in prices." If so you can readily see that either excessive prices -were charged before the war— s<> excessive that even an extra 2|d. or 3(1.- fu cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, othera heavy loss must be faced. But even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cup, value for value, nothing else can equal it. whi cit is «i pure and healthful that it can be taken by even those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weigh with you. Consider them carefully—write and tell us your conclusions. We believe that you want quality, and that you want value: For that reason we have raised our prices 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 its prices — the foregoing will tell you why.

SUNBURNT ANI> BLISTERED REXONA SOOTHES AND HBiiLS Dunedix, Wednesday. " My little girl, 18 months old, was suffering severely from the effects of Sunburn, hat 6kin being blistered and raw in many part* and in a shocking state," writes Mrs. M. Dreaver, 16 Henry-street, Maori Hill, Dunedin, N.Z. il We used a great many varieties of salves, oils, and ointments, but in one so young with such tender and sensitive skin everything seemed to act more as an irritant than a curative. A lady who had a little boy in a similar state advised us to try Rexona Ointment* as it had cured hi* trouble. I am pleaesd to say it quickly and cooled tho blistered parts, took away the angry inflammation, and we wera able to see her getting her natural sleep again. as she did not attempt to scratch herself after the first application of Rexona Ointment, and in a very short time all traces of the Sunburn had disappeared. Her skin is at present more clear and beautiful than ever, thanks to your Rexona Ointment, anct.
