Tea on the Down erade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
enlargement in a report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
n Yokohama TO its. American Gus
toners. incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: Owing TO the rapidly in
creasing cost of living in Japan labor
costs more. and in consequence cuI-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly.
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that OF sea
sons prior to the war. and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence of former years. New
