A quart at 8 am. begins the day,

Regardless of the weather, he drinks

Mr.. Satz began his milk diet in an
effort to overcome the i'll health
that had harassed him for years.
Because he felt too bad to eat, he
recalls, he decided to forego solid
food for a few days. At the end of
that time he felt so much better
that he made up his mind to "stick
to milk while longer"
Since then, he has never had q

recalled today.
Though he was q heavy eater
before 1881, he never misses solid
food, water or the small amount of
wine he has also given up.
Last summer he was confined to

for an operation he had needed for

Holiday for Thousands
OF War Workers Laid
To WPB's Late Order
Time Lacking to Notify
Men Of Change in
Rules, Loeher Says

Blame for the fact that thousands
of construction workers on essential
war projects in the Washington area
took holiday yesterday was placed
on the War Production Board today.
The WPB Board of Review issued
an order at 3 pm. Tuesday, setting
pay for work on Armistice Day at
straight-time rates. Under the sta
bilization agreement here workers
are supposed to receive time and a
half for holiday work.
John Locher, secretary Of the
Building and Construction Trade
Council, explained:
THE rules by which the men work
under the stabilization agreement
instruct them to work for time and
a halt on holidays. This is the only
thing they have to 60 by.
The WPB order, calling for
straight time, was not issued until
3 pm. Tuesday. I have not received
a copy of it yet. There simply was
not time enough to notify the men
that the rules were being changed.
1T would have meant getting in
touch with so business agents and
thousands of men. We couldn't do
that after 3 pm. Tuesday. I am
sure that, If we'd had a few days
notice, the men would have worked
for straight time-or no time at all"
Among the projects affected were
the Pentagon Building, Government
housing construction and airport
construction in nearby areas. Many
workmen on these projects, in the
absence of instructions, did not re-
port for work.
