PUBLIC NOTICES. USEFUL BUSTS ABOUT TEA. TEA m a beverage must possess extraordinary virtues of attraction for the human system to sustain, as it has done, its great and increasing popularity in the face of constant mistreatment. In very many homes the family teapot is made lo yield a far from palatable drink, and it is little wonder that the careless and incorrect preparation of the beverage has caused to i e attributed to it unheaithful properties that should never have been, developed iu the brew. In order to prepare tea with its full richness and -aroma, and without any deleterious possibilities, it is necessary to keep a few facts steadily in view. The most important , thing is to see that the liquid tea is strained from the leaves in from three to five minutes, according to the strength desired. Unless this is done you cannot make good tea. All the good constituents of tea are extracted in. the time named, while the tannic acid—the least desirable part—is not developed to any marked degree. 'The quantity of tea to be used will vary with the kind. A good, reliable brand of blended tea should be selected in preference to any other kind. And the best blended tea on the market is undoubtedly “Tiger” Tea. If “Tiger” Tea is used, the old formula of “ One teaspaonful for each cup and one fer the blessed pot” will not do. A scant teaspoonful for each cup and none for the pot will be found quite sufficient of “ Tiger." It’s an economical tea. Briefly, to get full satisfaction you must observe the following rules: Fill your kettle with fresh cold water and bring to the boil —bubbling furiously. Pour some of the boiling water into your teapot to warm it, and then throw this water away. Put in a scant teaspoonful of “ Tiger ” Tea for each cup, and pour sufficient boiling water on to the leaves to make the desired quantity. Cover the teapot with a cosy and let the tea infuse for not more than five minutes, after which it can either be served at once or the liquid strained from the leaves into another pot, also previously warmed. If these directions are carefully followed, and “Tiger” Tea always used, a deliciously stimulating and health-promoting beverage will be the result. “ Tiger ” Tea can be bought in various grades to suit every purse, and each grade is the best procurable at the price in the Dominion.

Wife : “What would you like for your birthday, Robert?” Robert: “Nothing; thank you. I cannot afford it.” “ I hear Jones has married again.” “ Yes, confound him. He’s cost me three wedding presents and two wreaths already.” Mr William E. Goode, 107 Victoria street, Christchurch, N.Z.,says: “I have been a bilious subject all my life, and though I have tried all sorts of things for it, have never found anything like' Chamberlain’s Tablets for warding off bilious attacks. When I feel one of these attacks coming on I take two of Chamberlain's and I am soon well again.rAjfof, 1
