An' answer "It isn't the blow that Makes our carbonated waters go." But it is the contents of the bottle that is responsible for creating the ever-increasing demand, as well as the consumption, of our carbonated waters for over 55 years. Wβ accept the statement of the aerated watar manufacturer that he "Puts the gas only in the bottle." But it is a practice not to be recommended. The scientific carbonated water manufacturer combines pure fruit juice 'with cane sugar, the combination of _ which is carbonated to that scientific point of saturation with the same gas as is responsible for the sparkling qualities of champagnes and wines. This is not put in 'any ordinary bottle that may chance to come along; but it is bottled in a scienti-ically-sterilised container, haying as its seal the hygienic crown cork, which is the only one that protects the lip of the bottle from any outside contamination. As our time is fully occupied m the manufacture and production of pure carxmated waters and cordials to refresh New Zealand, we are much too busy to bother with the wine and tea business. If the " home of quality" is signified by the words " artificially coloured," " compound cordials," " preservatised with two grains of sulphur dioxide to the pint," we do not under any circumstances lay claim to such a title; but simply state that our goods are pure, and are bottled in a clean, hygienic, sunlit carbonated water factory.

CAREFUL SPENDING A NECESSITY. \ It is computed that the sovereign to-day will purohase only 13s worth of goods, as compared with its piewar purchasing power. There is only one way_ to offset this decline, and that is by endeavouring to make the sovereign go as far as possible, and to avoid unnecessary expense \ So far as |Doal is concerned, one can avoid unnecessary expense by using "Wardnui." "Waronui" costs only 17s net (cash) for half-ton delivered in the city, and it's just splendid for cooking, baking, or burning in the grate. The saving effected by using Waronui (the most economical coal) J [ is apparent.
