SootJies<£. heals the threat bluings aton.ce ! For over half a oentu‘-y Bennington's Mos* has been made by careful, fully qualified chemists. That’s why it i> iihrnus the same—quick ami sure in curing coughs and colds. 7?<\ IRISH MOSS •rlhT’iHS.H'lir* fir's Ws.z i'SC for over ears oared coughs and colds over 50 years ago—many a present day grandmother was cured by “Bonnington’s" when a girl! Mrs. J.C. Russell, Severn Street, Oamaru ■writes“l can remember Bennington’s Irish Moss for BO years. It was used by mother for me as a child, and now I use it in my own home for my children I consider it the best remedy that can bo used.” Avoid imitations insist on Bonnington’s. Free from opiates or harmful drugs, there ii nothing to equal it for young and old. 128 I I The increase!'’ demand tot tr.« x day is due to ry t! <_ tact ?h*. hugquantities are wanted for the 2 k million men imdet arms i’lu Heads of the Armies of the vvOrl. . know that there is no drink s« | stimulating and beneficial, am ! hence thev must have tea fo l their men no matter what it costs I Then, too, at f the stroke of ■ pen, *he great Russian Nation ha been turned into a tea drinkim people, and the money |spent on Vodka is now availal h for the purchase ci tea 1 But there is only a limited ■ mpplv of tea and that supply is nc I sufficient to fill the present re ; quiiements. I Hence at the tea acction.\ in ! Ceylon it has risen in pi it? month by month, until te day it costs the packer 2sd to 3d per lb more than in August last, j This, of course, affects Hew Zcalfpd very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sola here at price* which cannot be equalled. Although this leems a bold statement, it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion o’ the tea imports to England consist of what is known as “red stalk” tea the lowest possible grade — so low that it is prohibited throughout Australasia. Yet even this lowest grade is sold in England at 1/6 or more per lb., while for fine teas <■>< the quality of “Amber Tips.” 2 | to 3/4 per lb. is asked. > | Tea experts the world over are union ished at the remarkable quality, liavonr fragrance and value given in " Amber Tips” at so low a nrice, and it is because no better value can be obtained any where, that “Amber Tips” is to day the 1 most popular brand in New Zeulai d, | Millions of packets of “Ambers lips” j are sold per annum. It is st-> krd in 1 every shop from the North Qtp*- u# to. Blnlf. Only exceptional value o*m 1 . be responsible for so exceptional a *»■«.

j But fine tea is new coslim,- th- “ Amber Tips” Proprietors. a* w*di a* | other tea merchants, an average <>f 24*1 to 3d. per !b. more than in August, 1914 Therefore, if a fair price was chained j before the warj the tea merchant 1« 1 to-day faced with an enormous lo«~ should he continue to pack the «»>».• quality at hi is old prices Of coure there i* the alternative of cheapening the quality !.y ~n *du>t\lute of inferior, less healthful leys, t'he "Amber Tips” Proprietors wore advised I by many to do this, but instead ihej ' decided t • raise the price by ‘2d. per lb., \ and to continne to give the public that same splendid value which has always been associated with the mono "AmUc Tips ” Now, Mrs Housewife, what ia your opinion of the wtivle matter? j Would you rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and ■ value and pay a penny a 4-lb. packet more—or would you rather have an in fenor and less healthful tea at th« ol • price ? But you say “other teas have not beta raised in prices," If so you can readil.' •ee that either excessive prices wc* charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2£d. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, othera heavy loss must be faced. But even at increased figure* Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea yon can buy. Cup for cup, value for value, nothing else can equal it, while it is so Eure and healthful that it can be taken y even those of the weakest digestion. Purely these facts should weign with you. Consider them carefully—write and tell us your conclusions. We believe that you want quality and that you want value. For that reason we have raised our pricea because only by doing so can we continue to give you the same honest quality and the same honest vaJ:'-v 10J en 1/10, 2/-, 2/3 r*r lb. The c*ily tea that hat tf increat* its •prices—ihz foregoing will tell you why. iHPHE cleansing and purifying properries of “OZO” TOOTH POWDER are unsurpassed. It also makes the teeth pearly white, and imparts a clean sweet feeling to the mouth—Cd everywhere.
