T .a. Costs MoreThe Third Article of a Serits dealing with a question which, vttally affects 'every houseWits* The increased demand for tea today is due to tc the tact that huge. quantities arc wanted for the 25 million men under arms. The Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is no drink so Stimulating and beneficial, and ,'nence they must have tea for i their men no matter what it costs. Then, too, at the stroke of a i pen, i-he great Russian Nation has Ibeen turned into a tea drinking ■ people, and the money previously spent on Vodka is now available for the purchase c i tea But ■'there is only a limited supply of tea and. that supply is not sufficient to fill the present requirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Ceylon it has risen in price month by month, until tc-day it costs the packer 2hd to 3d per lb. more than in August last. of course, affects New Zeal? jrd very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at price® which cacnot be squalled. Although this seams a bold statement, it is on® that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion of the tea imports to England consist of what is known as ‘Ted stalk 1 ’ 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 of the quality e f “Amber Tips.’ 1 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. is asked. T’ Tea experts the world over ate astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in “ Amber Tips” at so low a mice, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that “Amber Tips” is to-day the moat popular brand in New Zealand, Millions of packets of “‘Author* Tips’’ r,ra sold per annum. It is stocked in every shop from the North Cap? to the Bluff. Only exceptional value could be responsible for so exceptional a sale. But fine tea is now coating the “Amber Tips” Proprietors, as well as other tea merchants, an -average of 2id. to 3d. pqr lb. more than in August, 1914. Therefore, if a fair price wag charged before the war. ths ter. merchant is to-day faced with s.n enormous loss should he continue to pack the same quality at his old prices. Of oours there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas, The “AmbarTips” Proprietors wore advised by many to do this, but instead they decided to raise the price by 2d. per ib., and to continue to give the public that same epHndid value which has always beon associated with the name “Amber Tips.’ 1 Now, Mrs, House wife, what is your opinion of the wbolo matter? Would you rather hare the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a Mb. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price ? But you aay “other teas have aot boon raised id prices.’’ If bo you can readily cee that either excessive press were Charged before the war—so excessive that oven an extra 2£d- or 3d. in cost per lb. still enableo a profit to bo made —or quality must be reduced, other- & heavy loss must be faced. But even at increased figures Amboy Tips is etill the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup lor cup, value, for value, nothing else can equal it, while it is so pure and healthful that it can be taken by even those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weign with you. Consider them carefully—write and tall us your conclusions. We believe that you want quality and that you want value. For that reason we have raised our prices because only by doing so can we continue to give you the same honest quality and the came honest yaip*. ioj wzea "h! sascaaartai 1/2 0, S 2/-, fSIIS par /ft.

You take it to the mender J and he, perhaps, finds the delicate movements have been put out of gear by dust you can only see under,a magnifying glass. Indigestion acts in.the same-way cm the body. Digestion, like the mainspring of a watch, is one of the principal things that keep the wheels of life running smoothly. Let it be disturbed and every part of your system suffers. Notably your nerves are upset. V Why ? Well, the nerves and the digestive systems depend upon each other very closely. One cannot become affected without the other becoming upset. Bad digestion means lack of nourishment from food. Your nerves cry out because they are not fed. They lose tone and energy. Let ns show how Mother Seigel's Syrup rapidly mends matters. In a state of Indigestion often food remains too long in the stomach and ferments. Again, the supply of bile (Nature's own laxative) from the liver is frequently poor in quality, and badly regulated. Or the bowels are too sluggish to expel the body's refuse. All these important digestive organs are the centre of a special nervous system. Naturally the irritated nerves protest —like the watch does against a speck of dust. You must right your digestion before body and nerves can be restored to a really sound state; otherwise there is a steady drain on vitality. The drip of water from a leaking can will empty it in time. Mother Seigel’s Syrup quickly stops this sapping of the system. Its tonic and corrective action resides good digestion by stimulating stomach, liver and, bowels into healthy activity. Then you derive full nourishment from your food.
