mi WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. Information in the hands of
i5 I government officials in touch with the strike situation today in-
ly 1 dieted an increase in bituminous coal production, especially in
the West Virginia fields. A further defection of union forces
was noted in the early morning reports, although officials were
rtkt not able to say whether the break in the union ranks was in- j
:c creasing to any extent.
Director-General Hines reiterated today that no com-
; munity need fear that it would be cut off entirely from fuel
tk f supplies so long as the stocks under supervision of the railroad
I administration last. He declared the primary purpose of the
machinery set up by his office was to guard against concen-1
tration of coal stocks in one section to detriment of another. I
Railroad administrtion officials refused to accept seriously
published reports of tranffc congestion in some of the larger
terminals. Members of the director-general's staff were in
conference last night and again today examining detailed re-
5S ports of traffic movements. These reports showed no diffi-
.1 culties in car movement thus far, they said.

LONDON DOCTOR'S
PRESCRIPTION TO I
BANISH OLD AGE 1
i
London, Oct. 17. (By the As
sociated Press.) Dr. Josiah Old
fied, known internationally as a
physician and a writer, has pub
lished a prescription for keeping
old age at bay.
According to him it is a question
of daily diet, which includes dand
oline leaves, fowl's eggs, grapes,
lettuce, cow's milk, water cress,
honey and salads (uncooked).
Old age," he says, "is largely
caused by deposit in the blood ves
sels and cells of the body of waste
matter. So by adopting a part
fruitarian diet a man, however
old, may become young again be
cause every cell in the body will
be replaced by new young cells."
Dr. Oldfield considers that a
normal person rightly fed should
live from 90 to 105 years of age
