suey from china and japan were refusfd entrance into the unitedstates and the tea was then sent to moutreat where it was admitted and afterwards sold for consumption in differ ent parts of canada tho spurious tea mr larklu says is absolutely poisonous and ho hopes if tho tea recently refused at new york u kent to canada that the dominion government will see that it is either destroyed or sent out of tho coun try he then went on to say that he had been telling the people of canada for years back that they should drink the beautiful teas of cyion and india which are absolutely free from all adul teration or coloring and what is alro very important perfectly clean he de scribed tho different modes of prepara tion in china and japan the teas after being picked undergo a process of fer mentation

so that even the grocer cannot touca them and in the ease of salada which is the highest grade of tea made in ceylon or india cana dians are enabled to drink it within four months from tho time that
