The Second Article of a series that Every House' wife Should Read. It is indeed bard for the New Zealand housewife to realise the remarkable changes that have occurred in the tea trade within the Jast 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, due 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 of over 160 millions, .which, at the stroke of a pen—in almost a single oight—has been turned into nation of tea drinkers. What tiiis means, is" readily seen when one considers that until September last the Russian people consumed less than lib. of tea' per bead per annum ; whereas in our own Maoriland the' average is over ot 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, ehernious quantities have been bought by Russian <eptesentatives, who- readily pay increasing prices to secure what 4liey want. © As a result, tea to-day costs the blender in New Zealand an average of 2|d. to 3d. per lb. more than eight months ago, and, unless he is to face an enormous loss, he has only two alternatives —to reduce his quality or increase his prices.

Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he was charging an excessive price for inferior tea. If so, he is still able to sell the same grade at the old figure and probably still make a good profit£&\mber Tips" policy has always htcii to give the best value the world can produce at .the most reasonable prices. It has been decided to continue. this 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 and less healthful teas, the proprietors are determined to maintain that standard of quality and value which, has made "Amber Tips" the most widely Bold blend in the Dominion to-day—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 and best tea that can be produced for the money—that it contains a tea which is so pure and healthful that it can be used by children, and by those with the weakest .digestion, without harm. *t It is also well to remember that ""Amber Tips" gives more cups of deli•cious, fragrant tea of delightful flavour. 'Thus it still costs you less than others—it is still the cheapest tea in the Dominion, even though the prices have been ifllightly increased. . "VVe believe that the housewives of New Zealand would rather secure the jfinest value that can be given—even ;at a slightly increased price—than that ■quality and values should be cheapened. It" is now for you to show whether qrou approve of'this decision or not. mo
