Public Notices : mR uth Will prevail. No one will question the accuracy of the Customs returns. A paper recently laid before Parliament furnishes a table of the consumption of articles in common use, which is startling until the surrounding circumstances are considered, and the reason only strikes one like the flash of an electric search light. The consumption of Sugar and Tea for the two past years, and the duty paid per head of population, is stated thus:— Lbs. Duty Total lbs. used. per head per head Sug-ar, 1595, G5.5fi5,980 SS.S 3s S.;d Sugar, IS9C, 67.393.540 39.4 3s 83d Increase .. 1.52G,580 .9 Oid Tea. 1895, 4.472.52S G. 04 2s 6!] d . Tea, lSSti 4.431.480 5.88 Is Hid Decrease .. 41.04S .16 l\d It seems incredible that while the people used more sugar they should ' Consmne Less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the British product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking- their place. Foremost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNRIVALLED SURAT UR A. and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for its Strength and Wonderful Economy, the official testimony that 41.04S fewer pounds of Tea have proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13,317 in The 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. SURATURA TEA is not blended with Indian or China teas, nor is, it handled from the time it leaves the stores In Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. Reflect and consider v/hat you are losing annually by using ordinary tea. Ask your grocer for, and insist upon having. SURATURA, and no other.
