COFFEE HEART
As Dangerous as the Tobacco

Coffee heart" is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long homo if the
drug is persisted in. You can run 80
or 40 yards and find out if your heart
lis troubled. A lady who was once a
victim of the coffee heart" writes

keosauqua Paper Proposes Tha,
Wells M. irwin Of This City
be the Next Congressman
From First District.
NOT "PEsTER" KENNEDY
However, Mr.. Irwin Appreciates the
Suggestion Of His Candidacy and
is Pleased to Receive
Recognition.

This is so sudden said Wells NJ.
Irwin when shown the proposal of a
Keosauqua paper that he be the next
congressman from this district. Press
ed for a definite answer, Mr.. Irwin
said:
Il can't help but feel thankful for
any suggestions that l am good con-
gressional timber, of course, with all
the differences growing out of it, and
am willing to confess that would
like to be a congressman from this
great state of Iowa. for / consider

have another aspirant from Lee coun-
ty, and / prefer the pleasant to the
unpleasant as rule. Also, do not
share the idea that Mr.. Kennedy will
be easy for even strong man an
skilled campaigner to beat at the end
of his present term. Really, l am not
taking this proposcl seriously enough
to deny, or refuse it formally and pub
licly. All you need to print is that l
am delighted with what the State Line
Democrat says about me as a man,
and am not ashamed at the pleasure
1t gives me. When it is said that l
am natural, normal man, take it
as higher compliment than to be
called sage. a scholar or captain

tation among those who know me, l

The most interesting part of that
interview is the last sentences in the
light of the fact that Mr.. Irwin is a
VERY scholarly man. Dartmouth
alumnus who has been student all
! his life.
The suggestion of his name for con-
gress excited much interest in Keo-
kuk where he is very prominent in
civic affairs, but most people expected
some such reply as that above from
him.

nobody was disappointed. The two

a bit long, as there are four settings,

none fatally. The cars were of
