EVERY true colonist must have felt a glow of pride when readiog m the Governor's Speeob that the earning power of the people bad been increased, but the Speech omitted to give the reaßon why there had been a saving last year of over £20,000.in the cost of tea oomumed m New Zealand. The reasons are obvious to every hoaiewife wbo Qoneiders ber tea expenditure— c lßt—lt is because Bar a tar a Tea has oomo into euoh general use m consequenoe of its strength, flavour, economy, and purity.  2nd— That it goes so much further than jb ordinary brands. .
