With the defeat on the Oicst-Tirlemont line and
the German occupation of Louvain and Brussels
the plucky little Belgian army withdrew from the

attendants when there isn't an interested group
studying these reminders Of the last great Euro

of the most necessary element
Of human economy. You are

The acids of the apple diminish
the acidity of the stomach and
prevent and cure dyspepsia.
They drive out the obnoxious
matters that cause skin eruptions
and thus are natures most
glorious complexion makers.
They neutralize in the blood
deleterious elements that poison
the brain and make il sluggish.
The contained phosphorus is
not only greater than in any
other form of food. but il is pre-.
sented in a shape for immediate
use by the brain and nerves
where il may flash into great
thoughts and great deeds. The
ancients assigned the apple as
the food for the gods, and its
juices the ambrosial nectar TO
which they resorted TO renew
