year he lost over 20 pounds due to overwork and inadequate diet he told the editor and pub lisher last week for three years he has had no vacation and has worked a seven day week most of the boys nerves are shot said peters in discussing his experiences and those of his amer ican colleagues the jitters are due chiefly to the fact that you work so much and there's nothing you can do to really relax the trains are so full that even if you had a holiday you would be so exhausted getting to a destination through the crowds that you'd have no benefit from a trip the food is damnably monot onous you get the same things — potatoes all the time potatoes and bread you don't know what the meat is you are getting even though it is called by different names it always tastes the same you've got to eat in the best restaurants which means the most expensive ones or the food is hard to get down it is almost inedible in the cheaper places so you spend all of your salary just for living
