Rockefeller. to Live
To Age of Hundred,
Says His Physician
Light Eating Has Restored
Oil Masters Digestion,
Asserts DIR. Biggar, Who
Also Is an Octogenarian
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CLEVELAND, July 21.-The predic-
tion that John D. Rockefeller, who
recently celebrated his eighty second
years old was made confidently to-
day by DR.. H. F. Biggar, his physician
and lifelong friend
The doctor, who also is eighty-two,
looks forward to a golf match with
the fnancier when both have rounded
out the century mark.
To DR.. Biggar is given the credit for
prolonging the life Of the world
richest man.
"Mr. Rockefeller has always said he
will live to a very old age. He is in
better health now than many man
at fifty" said DR.. Biggar. "Any one
who follows his sensible way of living
can live TO be a centenarian."
Stories that the stomach of the aged
master of the worlds greatest fortune
10 too weak for anything except liquid
nourishment were branded as false by
DR.. Biggar.
"Mr. Rockefeller once had indiges-
ton, but he does not suffer from it
now" said the physician. "He can eat
anything, but he observes one Of the
prime laws of health and eats mod
erately. For breakfast he usually eats
cereal, eggs and milk. Often l have
heard him remark when he rose from
the dinner table: 4 could have eaten
more His good sense tells him that
moderation in diet is a prerequisite Of
endurance"
DIR. Biggar modestly disclaims the
credit for rejuvenating the richest
man in the world.
81 am only one of Mr.. Rockefeller's
physicians,' he said GAS a matter OF
to remain in excellent health and has
profited only indirectly by my pro
fessional advice. He has an analytical
mind and would have figured it out 70,
himself
'He lives regularly and simply, and
therefore, wisely. His day runs By
schedule. He has a certain time fol
golf, a certain time for writing ane
SO forth At dinner he always sur
rounds himself with few congenia
friends. After dinner he likes to play
his guests a game called 'Numerica.
1t is a mathematical game. Mr.. Rookie
Teller believes it aids digestion.
"He retires early and rises early. HI
likes to hear music on rising and re
firing. Usually some one plays som,
old negro melodies on the violin.
Golf has played great part in saw
ing Mr.. Rockefeller's health. For mer
over fifty golf, perhaps, is the bes
sport. For men under fifty tennis anc
cricket are both good games. Horse
back riding is another excellent exer
else for men over fifty. Mr.. Rookie
Teller, however, does not care for it."
