Persistent Coughing Quickly Stopped by Tonking's Emulsion j It is well known that continued coughing , is harmful to the tender, tissues of the throat and lung's. It brings on inflaination and neglect to heal this at the beginning invites a life-long illness. Tonking's Linseed Emulsion loosens a cough at once and makes it easy to raise the phlegm that may have accumulated, and the inflammation then quickly disappears. Mrs. A. J. Fox, Otago, writes: —"My mother is a strong believer in Linseed in whatever form it may be used. She advised me to give Tonking'e Linseed Emulsion a trial. My little daughter, aged 4 years, had a terrible oold, but before she had half finished the bottle, it had completely; left her." r- 12 KEEP FREE FHQM COLDS!

Read the circular. 13 Why Tea Costs More— The Second Article of a series that Every Housewife Should Read,

It is indeed hard for the New Zealand housewife td realise the remarkable changes that have occurred in the tea trade within the last eight months— : which have resulted in greatly increased prices. As was shown in the first "irticle of this series, tea is in great demand as the beverage of the 25 million men who are under arms to-day, due to the fact that it is the most stimulating and invigorating drink—easily transported and easily handled. But there is another element which exerts almost as great an influence in the steadily rising cost of tea. This facto* is Russia, with its enormous population of over 160 millions, which, at the stroke of a pen—in almost a single 'night—has,-been turned, into nation • : tj.i drinkers. '•' What this means is readily seen when One considers that until September last the Russian people consumed less than 1 lb. of tea per head per annum ; whereas in our own Maoriland the. average is over 7|lbs, of tea- per head per annum. ' Moreover, the money previously spent on other beverages. by Russia is now available for tea. Hence, at the tea auctions, enormous quantities have been bought by Russian representatives, ■ who readily pay increasing prices, to-secure what they want. As a result, tea to-day costs the blender in New Zealand an aveiv age of 2|d. to 3d. per lb. more than eight months ago, and. unless ■ he is to face an enormous loss, he has only two alternatives —to reduce his quality or increase his prices. Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he -was charging an excessive price for inferior tea. If so, he is still able to sell the same grade at the eld figure and probably still make a good profit "Amber Tips" policy has always been to give the best, value the world can produce at the most reasonable prices. It has been decided to continue this policy, therefore the price has been slightly increased—by 2d. per lb. Although advised by many to reduce costs by the adtaixture of harsher, inferior :md less healthful teas, the proprietors are determined to maintain that standard'of quality and value which has made'"Amber Tips" the most widely sold blend in. the Dominion to-day—the most largely sold blend of any country in the world in proportion to population. Thus, if the name "Amber Tips" is on the packet, you know that it contains the finest, purest and best tea that can be produced for the nioney—that it contains a tea which is so pure and healthful that it can be used by children, and by those with the weakest digestion, without harm. It is also well to remember that " Amber Tips" gives more cups of delicious, fragrant tea of delightful flavour. Thus it still costs you less than others— it is still the cheapest tea in the Dominion, even though the prices have been slightly increased. We believe that the housewives of New Zealand would rather secure the finest value that can be given—even at a slightly increased price—than that quality and values should bo cheapened. It is now for you to show whether you approve of this decision or not. 169 1/10, 2/-, 2/2 fer lb. The only tea that has to increase its prices — the foregoing ieill tell you why.
