WASHINGTON There's nothing to I 1 ilie ..lory that one cannot quit a ' bad habit The reason many per I sons fall to quit li because they fear ihey will miss some of the Joy !of life. ' I quit smoking cigarets ten years ago," said Colonel R L. Foster, ad ; julant general's office War depart ment. "I had smoked about fifty j five the day before 1 swore I would nevei smoke anothei and I 1 haven't and I won't Two years laier I look the same pledge on drinking and 1 haven't taken a drink since. And sa. I've had leu times I as much fun since 1 quit as I ever had before. No tired feelings at the i end of tho day, no bad feelings of I a morning It is the man who is n jfllae lo a habit who misses ih , Joy in life." Colonel Foster is 50, but appears only 40. "I feel ten years younger than I I did fen years ago when I quit," said , the colonel The colonel was over I seas and stood all the hardships of war and came back strong. He said he couldn't have stood it if he had been using narcotics or intoxicants "Please give the grass a chance," , Is a sign H. K Porter, 1600 I street, has on his lawn No fence and the , 1 grass is doin fine. This appealed to me as being so much more cour icous to the public than "Keep off Iho Grass," that I a5ked Joseph Jen kins, the negro ard man, who coined the sign. He said he did. that he considered the usual sign Keep Off the Grass; This Means YOU," very snobbluh. Jenkins said his sign , caused the people to feel a persoual interest In not tramping on the grass, ! whereas a discourteous slen would ' offend them.
