The new law regarding the inspection OF teas at
the different ports Of entry of the United States in
order TO prevent the importation of impure and
wholesome teas which went into effect on May l.
has caused much dissatisfaction among the import

effort is TO be made by them get the law

intended TO shut out adulterated teas. they say

Mr.. Couch. Deputy Collector Of the Port when
