But, at any rate, the age of "YEAST - VITE," which IS concentrated Vitamins in tablet form!
If you want radiant health, buoyant energy, vim and vigour, anima- tion, adopt the "YEAST-

WORLD FIT FOR HEROES:: LIFE IN TERMS OF MATTER MORE COMPLEX ORGANISATION.
The person is central to the world of values, hence the significance of the Christian insight into the in- finito potential value of the human soul. The great values which form our ideals are not abstract abeo- tutes but have their intimate por- sonul aspect. Tho great soul, the integral spiritual personality, is like the stable mutation of blalegy, and has achieved an unassailable status in the realm of values. Hence our task is not merely the making of 'a world fit for heroes, but rather the making of the heroes themselves. And in this task science has also a great part to play.
