ago, recently served notice upon the
Redwood Falls Sun to retract and
withdraw some charges which had
been made in that paper during the
campaign. The local law firm of
Pfaender & Flor represented Mr..
Keefe in his demand for retraction.
In the following issue of the Sun all
th statements complained of were
withdrawn and retracted. There was
no time before election to make such
demand, otherwise a retraction might
have been secured then. There is
not much consolation in favor of
defeated candidate in a retraction
published after election, and regret
is generally expressed at Mr.. keefe
not returning to his seat in the state
legislature as he made an efficient
member of the house of representa-
tives and was the author of the Keefe
bill, pursuant to the provisions of
which preferential vote for United
States senator was had at the last
election.-Brown County Journal

Avoid The Cheap And big Can
Baking Powders.


The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation; they certainly
give the purchaser plenty of powder
for his money, but it's not all baking
powder; the bulk is made up of cheap
materials that have no leavening pow
er. These powders are so carelessly
made from inferior materials that
they will not always make light,
wholesome food. Further, these cheap
baking powders have a very small
percentage of leavening gas; there
fore it takes from two to three times
as much of such powder to raise the
cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in
the long run, the actual cost to the
consumer of the cheap powders is
more than Calumet would be. Cheap
baking powders leave the bread some
times bleached and acid, sometimes
yellow and alkaline, and often unpal-
atable. They are never of uniform
and quality.
Why not buy a perfectly whole
some baking powder like Calumet,
that is at the same time moderate in
price and one which can be relied up
on? Calumet is always the same,
keeps indefinitely and gives the cook
the least trouble. Received Highest

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Acted On By State Commission
he Editor of The Age Herald;

co the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Tn an article published in your paper f this date, referring to a conference seld by the attorneys representing the state, and the undersigned. who represent certain taxpayers, it is stated that "the .ases under consideration are those grow ng out of refusal of the board of reve- sue to permit increases made by County Tax Commissioner Allen, on the assess nents originally turned in by a large number of property owners
 This statement is an error-no doubt anintentional, but at the same time per saps misleading to those taxpayers who were last cited to a raise by the state iax commission.
 The only eases which we have had un- jer consideration with the state attorneys gre those cases first acted upon by the .tate commission. These cases have been appealed to the circuit court, and will be disposed of by trial, unless otherwise settled entirely to the satisfaction of our selves and the taxpayer.
 . We advise that the cases which have been adiudicated before the board of rev |nue are in a very different shape. Yours kuly. A. G. AND E. D. SMITH
