grandfather, early in hs life, became
fascinated with the story of Louis
Cornaro, the famous Venetian who, by
keeping to very low diet, managed
to live more than one hundred years.
He, h mse'f. evrr after ate sparingly
and lived to be one hundred and four.
No sease killed him, at that. He was
perfectly well up to the time that he
died. He SIMPLY became tired of life
ut rtcrest in it. The truth of the
matter was that the cells of which his
body was composed were anxious to
get away. So Grandfather told the
other children that he was going to
his daughters house to die. He went
to her house, undressed, went to bed,
and died! Nothing the matter with
him-simply tired of life. And my
father died the same way.
30 impressed were my father and
grandfather with the belief that the
secret of long life lay in little eating
that the idea was dinned into my head
from my earliest boyhood. Morning
and night was told to leave the table
while still hungry. / do not remember
