Costs More™ TA& Third Article, af §erie-3 dealt rVi; ii/ith question which vi tatty affects every housewife* The increased demand for tea today is due to tc (i.e fact tha'v hiigc quantities arc wanted for the 2:> million men under arms. The Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is ho drink so stimulating and beneficial, and ; hence they must have tea for their men no matter what it costs. Then, too, at the stroke of a pen, Vhe great Russian Nation has ; been turned into a tea drinking | people, and the money previously ; spent on Vodka is now available .for the purchased tea But there is only a limited supply of tea and that supply is noi sufficient to fill the present requirements. Hence at the tea 'sections in Ceyion it has risen in price month by month, until tc-day it costs the packer to 3d per lb. mere than in August last. ; /This, of course, affects New Zealr .ad very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at prices which cannot be equalled. Although this seems a hold statement, it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, & N great proportion of 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 hue teas of the quality o s "Amber Tips." "'''"' to 3/4 per lb. is asked. <^ j Tea exports the world over ai u Astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in " Amber Tips" at so low a Drice, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that * Amber Tips" is to-day the most popular brand in Now Zealand, Millions of packets of "Ambere Tipa" are sold per annum. It is stocked in ©very ahop from the North Cape to the Bluff. Only exceptional vain© could be responsible for oo exceptional a bp'Uj. But fine tcsa is now costing the "Amber Tips" Proprietors, ats well aa other tsa merchant"., an average of 2Jd. to Sd. per lb. more than in August, 1214. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war, tha tea merchant is today facsd.with an enormous loss should ha continue to pack the same quality at his old prices. Of coure there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas, The "AmbarTips" Proprietors were advised by many to do but instead the) decided to raise the price by 2d. ner lb., and to continue to give the public thai: same splendid valua which has always been associated with tha uamcj "Amber Tipa." Nb«v, Mrs. House wife, what is your opinion of the wb-.de matter? Would you rather have the earns delightful flavour, quality, purity and value end .pay a penny a $-lb. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and koe healthful tea at the old price ? , But you say "other teas have not been raised in prieea." If so you can readily tee that either excessive pr»ces were charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2-Jd. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, othera heavy loaa must be faced. But oven at increased figures Ambor Tipa is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cup, value for nothing else can equal it, while it is bo pure and healthful that it can be taken by even those of the weakest digestion. Surely theae facts ghould weign with yon. 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 Mr pricea because only by doing so can j we continue to give you the same honosf quality and the same honest va£;*<. io; i/io, a/-, a/a per /&. The cihj tea thai ha» ic increats its prices — ihzferagoing will tell you -aiky. t

Sometimes! your watch won't keep time; goes when and how it likes. Yoa take it to the mender; and be, perhaps, Snds the delicate movements have been put oat of gear by dust you caa only see under a magnifying glass. Indigestion acts in the same way on 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. *. Why ? Well, the nerves and tfaa digestive I systems depend upon each other very [ closely. One cannot become affected without the other becoming npset. Bad digestion means lack of nourishment from food. Your nerves cry ont because they are not fed. They lose tone and energy. Let us 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 Hver 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. tion by stimulating stomach, liver and bowels into healthy activity. Then you derive full nourishment from your food. Robust health, with fuii nerve energy, follows, •H->UTLT,?VWUArrKItfa. To Dairy ■-* Farmers who masse their own butter: Obtain your butter-wrappers at tho "Stratford Post" Job Printing Office.
