Ten thousand japanese more than
eighty years old recently told how

the general direction surveyed for

scientific roads to longevity.
These roads are diet, heredity, rest
and mental poise. All seem to be
conyerglng toward the common goal
of moderation.
On the diet there are two recent
significant surveys Indicating how
man may soon learn to prolong his
life. The latest. by DIR. C. Nj. Nc
Cay. of the Cornell university anil
nal nutrition laboratory, challenged
the present practice of feeding both
animals and children enough to pro-
duce maximum size In the shortest
time.
In his colony of rats Doctor Nc
Cay has some already twice normal
rat ages, and still going. with the
oldest equal to 10 years of human
life.
The lives of these animals were
doubled by just one thing-feeding
them less than enough to let them
grow as fast as nature would permit.
The other survey shows diet ap-
piled In a manner more nearly fitting
humans desires. This was made by
DR.. Henry G. Sherman. of Columbia
university. whose experiments led
him to predict that the average life
span can be prolonged ten years In
the near future by choice Of diet.
No nation yet has ventured to ap-
ply the known laws of heredity that
result In longer life. But the Japa-
nese study suggests this type OF her
edity Is somehow mingled with mod
