KING EDWARD.

There was a time when tea
was so rare that it was used
only by persons of wealth.
The king of England, at this
period was presented with a
small package, for the rea-
son that he had expressed
himself as preferring it to
vine of the finest vintage
At this time tea sold reeu-
larly at $1.00 per pound.
Since then tea has become
adulterated in a shameful
manner-the leaves of prac-
tically all the trees of the
forest find their way into tea
that in some quarters is very
highly commended for it's
health and purity. But there
is plenty of good tea on the
market. The selected Japan
tea handled by j. e. Bren-
nan, No. 148 South Holman
street, Hammond, and i'm
ported especially for his
trade, is highly recommend
cd. The price is but SO cents
