Tokyo, May 15.
Eight Japanese centenarians," the eldest 109, gave their rea-. sons for longevity to a Tokyo newspaper recently. They all contained one piece of advice, guaranteed to gladden the hearts of food-short Japanese: "Don't eat too much."
The
senior. 100-year-old Seizaburo Kitaoka, Dhermi, was 13 years old when Commo- dove Perry came to Japan, but he does not recall the event. In fact, Kitaoka told the Mainichi, ho did not know how old he was until a check with the town re- cords showed that he was born in 1840.
Yoshizo Nakashiro, 101-year- old, gets up at six in the morn- Ing and retires at eight at night.
His formula for long life: "Keep the stomisch no more than 80 per rent full, pat the skin around the navel 50 or 60 times when in bed at night and do not lead a disorderly life."
