BUSINESS NOTICES. TRUTH WILL PREVAIL. VfO one will question the accuracy of the Customs returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week furnishes a tame of the consumption of articles in common use, which is str-rtling until the surroundine circumstancsi" are considered, and the reason only strikes one like the flash of an electric searchlight. The consumption of Sugar and Tea for the two past years, anil the duty paid per head of population, is stated thus:— i Hβ Duty Total lbs used. per head. per head. Sugar, 1595, 65,558,960 88.5 Si Bid Sugar, 18S6, 67,335,840 89.4 3s BJd Increase .. 1,826,880 . .9 Oid Tea, 1895, 4,472,523 6,0* 2s 6ld Tea, 1836, 5.88 Is U4d Decrease „ 11.0JS J* 7*3" It seems incredible that while the people used more sujjar they Rhould Consume Less Tea. The explanation is that the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of couaumption, and the Britiih product, grown in Ceylon, ie very properly taking their place. Foremost anion? Ceylon Taas stands the DNRIVAU.ED SUU.\TTJR\, and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been hinds tor its Strenjtth and Wonderful Economy, the official testimony that 41,013 fewer pounds of Tea have proved sufficient (or an increase of population of 13,317 in the 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. I SURATUEA TEA is not blended witb Indian or China teas, nor is it handled from the time it leaves the stores in Coylou until it reaches the consumer. Fefiect and consider what you are losing annually by usinjr ordinary tea. Ask your nrrocer for, and insist upon havlnr, SURATOBA, and no other. ■ Pure and Wholesome " TOMATO SAUOE THE.RICHEST IN CREAM. NESTLES SWISS MILK. |~IAN BE USED FOB ALL PUKPOSES OF FRESH BULK.
