Severe COUGH CURED THE EVIDENCE 10a Huim Street, Sydney,N.S.W. H/9/1914 '' My little grandson suffered from infancy with a weak chest. He was nearly always troubled with a severe cough, and was very puny. After taking 'SCOTT'S Emulsion' he coughed much less and his appetite greatly improved. Now he eats and sleeps well, and, having become quite fat, looks a different child, and is never troubled with a cough." (Mrs.) J. MeldkUM. A course of SCOTT'S Emulsion casts out coughs, colds, bronchitis and chest weakness. It relieves the worst catarrh and overcomes the weakness and after effects of influenza, mea-. sles, scarlet fever and whooping cough. It replaces weakness by health and strength. For more than forty years doctors have recommended SCOITS Emulsion IMITATED BUT NEYER EQUALLED. Why lea. Costs IVMre— The Third Article of a Series dealinc; 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. Tlie Heads of the Armies ot the world know that there is no drink so stimulating and beneficial, and hence thev must have tea for their men no matter what it costs. Then, 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 in Ceylon it has risen in price month bv month, until to-day it costs the packer 2id 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 or more per lb., while for fine teas of the quality of "Amber Tips," 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. is asked. Tea experts the world over are astonished at tlie remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in Amber Tips" at so low a pi-ice, 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 io the Bluff. Only exceptional value could be responsible for so exceptional a sale. But fine tea is now costing the "Amber Tips" Proprietors, as well as other tea merchants, an average of 2}d. to 3d. per Hi. more than in August, 1014. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war. the tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should ho 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 "AtnbcrTips" 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 name splendid value which has always been associated with the name "Amber Tips." Now, Mrs. Housewife, what is your opinion of the whole mattery Would you rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a ;.-lb. packet more—-or would you rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price'? Hut .vou say "other teas have not been raised in prices." If so you can readily see that either excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2}d. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, otbera 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, while it is so pure and healthful that it can he 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 tea l/io, 21; 2/2 per lb.
