TEA—FREE.

The cup that cheers but does noft inebriate occupies a prominent position in the household of the English-speaking race. New Zealanders are in no way behind hand as tea drinkers, and we can now understand why it in that the new tax of 3d per 11). hits everyone so heavily. We are quite confident, however,- that the tax will not cause any diminution in the quantity of tea, consumed, but people will be more particular as to the quality of tho tea they buy. "We do not mind the price so long as it is good," is already a trite saying. Tt is with the idea ot givffi" the people of New Zealand an opportunity of tasting really good tea that S'T Thomas Lipton the great philanthropist, has'come forward with a scheme to distribute free samples of the 2s 2d and 2s 4d grades—sufficient to make fd'tv cups. All that those who require a sample have to do is to fill in the coupon appearing in the advertisement in the Greymouth Evening Star and send it, together with 4Ad to cover tho cost of packing and postage, to Lipton Ltd., G.P.0.. Box 1149, Auckland. The Lipton tea plantations, are in Ceylon, atid the tea. is crown under tho most np-to-date, conditions. The work of preparing tho leaf and packing it is carried out by experts and Linton's tea has secured n. reputation for its perfection. Once used in a, house, ro other brand is ever afterwards admitted. We are sure that the people of Grevmouth ■will take full advantage of Lipton's o-en-erosity and secure a sample of the famous tea.
