Christchurch Water.

However much. the inhabitants of Christchurch may have to complain of dust and nor'-westers during thy summer months, they may find consolation in the thought that the want of pure water felt by their neighbours in the Australian Colonies during the heat of summed is a much greater evil to be contended with. After reading of the very serious effects of the almost general scarcity of water in town and country during the later months of the past summer throughout the United Kingdom, it makes one feel thankful that, no matter how dusty and hot the day" may be, we have an inexhaustible supply of pure cold water. For purposes of cooking, drinking, aud tea making, especially the latter, the importance of the above Bupply cannot be over-estimated. Few articles consumed by man as food require more careful consideration in every point of view than the important and widely used product of the . vegetable kingdom, viz., tea, which is not only a luxury, a cheering but not inebriating stimulant, but a valuable addition to the essentials of healthy nutrition. It produces effects at once agreeable and beneficial, itß action on the system being i both stimulant and restorative, by gently > accelerating the pulse and increasing to a 1 moderate extent the action of the skin, and i it is unattended by any subsequent eymp--1 j tom 3of depression. ! Oar advice to the public of Christchnrch, ' is — as a rule, drink tea: it is a safe, cooli ' ing, and refreshing beverage, and p'rei j eminently suited to our sunny clime ; but I see chat you get a good article. Inferior . ! garments may be used, but to swallow iv- ' | ferior stuff is detrimental to good health. , j Having had experience in one of the ■ j largest Tea Liquoring and Blending , j establishments in the United Kingdom, '. j Wardell Bros, are in a position to l- place before the public a purer i and better - flavoured article at less , money than those not possessing similar I advantages, and are able to detect ■ ; and reject all adulterated or "faced" : teas that are continually finding their way I into every country. In conclusion, we E may state that although the general public i may not be aware of the fact, the value of • • Tea, like nearly every other article of - food, has {.alien, and at the present time , the Tea Wardell Bros, and Co. sell i for Two Shillings per lb will be found ■ to be a strong delicious-flavoured tea, > one pound of which they guarantee to go j farther and make better tea than one and a s half pounds of any other sold for the same 1 money. Wardell Bros, and Co.'s Teas are c eminently euitable for Christchurch water, 7 and when infused possess an aroma and , natural fragrance impossible to imitate, j and meet a want which, no other beverage i, is able to supply.
