"DON'T DO AS I SAY, DO AS I DO."

WHAT THE STOREKEEPER DOES! This is a message that came to us a few days ago from a Storekeeper in a big town—"Send me a !01b box of your finest tea, regardless of price. I want it for our own use." Funny, wasn't it? His shelves groaned under the weight of teas in packets of every kind, from the brands that are muchly advertised to the , brands that are packed by wholesale grocers and not advertised at all, — , friendly relations with the storekeeper are supposed to "move them off." Now, , this man sold all these brands to the public—the poor, long-suffering public, and very hkely recommended them tool But when he wanted a tea for i his ewn private use, it was "HONDAI LANKA," and the best at that. He knew a thing or two in the Tea line, did the same grocer. Cheap tea and wholesale grocers' blends were good enough to SELL, but for his OWN use —"Thank you, I'm for HONDAI LANKA I" ' Of course, hj« was sensible. To buy cheap tea is just wasting money. Nobody enjoys it. Flavorless tea spoils the' meal, but a Tea like HONDAI LANKA, fresh from the mountain slopes of Ceylon, gives a «harm to any repast and makes one gratefully remark, "Isn't that splendid Tea 1" Don't take your «ue from what the Storekeeper sells, but b*y what he uses himself, and insist «n the genuine HONDAI LANKA TEA.—(Advt.) For Influensia take Woods' Groat. Pepr>prmint- Cure. Never f»i!« : te vfl--2s 6d.
