DRUMMER BOY HERO
ASKS,NATION’S AID
VETERAN OF SIXTY-TWO ANX
IOUS TO FIND HI& LOST
SISTER.
SILVER SPRINGS, Md., June 8.—
The saddest veteran in America, these
memorial and preparedness days, is
Bernard Brady, known as “the hero
drummer boy.” Possibly some read
er can make him the happiest. How?
By finding some trace of his lost sis
ter.
July 4 will be the fiftieth anniver
sary of his search for her. Brady’s
sister, Maggie, was last seen by
friends, as far as Brady can learn, at
a Fourth of July celebration at Nev’
Diggings, Wis., in 1866.
She had dark hair and heavy eye
brows and was slender. Until she
was 16 she lived with an uncle ol’ the
same name at New Diggings and at
Galena, 111. She was born sixty-five
years ago. Even if his sister is dead,
Brady would be consoled to learn the
location of her grave. He believes,
tho, she is living.
Was Drummer Boy in '62.
In 1862, when he was a lad of 9—
the age of our fourth grade kiddies
today—little Bernard Hrady inarched
off to war, drum sticks in nanu. He
was the North’s Civil War baby, the
youngest drummer boy who fought.
When the war was ended and Brady
was discharged—a piece of war’s
driftwood at 13—he had no place to
go, no friends, no home. His mother
and step-father were dead. He could
not read nor write. Except that his
ha me was Bernard Brady, he knew
practically nothing about himself.
In the next thirty years his was
the vveird experience of a man finding
himself. Gradually he discovered what
fiis family was, his birthplace, and in
1897 learned how old he was! He
taught himself to read and write.
“The best I can make out,” Brady
said, "is that I was living with my
mother and stepfather at Portsmouth,
Va., when the war started. When the
Union soldiers came into Norfolk my
stepfather enlisted in the 58th Pen
nsylvania regiment, and had me en
listed as a drummer boy.
“Drummer boy I was called, but I
was a jack-of-all-trades for the men.
Did everything from running errands
to holding a candle while they played
cards. I was at Petersburg, at Rich
mond, in the fight at Bachelor’s Creek
at Fort Harrison and Chapin’s farm,
and Fair Oaks and Spring Hill.
Carried Things to Firing Line.
“When things began to get hot,”
Brady said, “the adjutant would say,
’Now you boys clear out,’ and he’d
chase us back where the cooks were.
But we’d carry things forward to the
men behind the breastworks.”
Brady’s injury came years later, at
Little Rock, Ark., when, delirious with
typhoid, he wandered away from
camp one night and was frostbitten
before he was found. One leg and
half his other foot were amputated.
Brady was discharged after eigh
teen years in the Army, including ser
vice in Indian scraps. Soldiering was
the only thing he knew how to do.
Brady’s one occupation now is the
hunt for his sister, with whom he
vaguely remembers playing when he
was a boy in Wisconsin.
She is the only close relative left
—if she is still alive.

FOOD CHEMIST’S TRIES
"BLOOD BREAD” MAKING
Blood, which occurs as a by-product
in- ahbatoirs, can now be successfully
substituted for milk and eggs in mak
ing bread, according to Prof. R.
Dros’.c, staff apothecary and food
chemist of Hanover, who has discov
ered a method of using denatured
blood.
“As a food substance," says Prof.
Draste, “blood is rich not only in en
ergy-producing nitrogenous com
pounds, but in those mineral salts
which are so necessary to the body.
Unfortunately, there is a wide-spread
prejudice against the use of this val
uable food material, the smell, taste,
color, and even the idea of blood as
food being revolting to most persons.
“By using hydrogen peroxide in
mixing the ‘blood bread' the sangui
nary fluid is bleached, sterilized and
deodorized. Moreover, the quantities
of oxygen liberated when hydrogen
peroxide comes in contact with or
ganic matter form a highly effective
means of aerating or ’raising’ the
bread, making the use of yeast or

baking powder unnecessary. I have
been using bread thus made in my
own family for 6 years and find it
highly satisfactory.
“Blood is used in place of water
in mixing up the dough. Then the
peroxide is added. Besides the ad
vantages mentioned, this powerful
oxidiiiing agent kilts destructive
bacteria in the flour, such as the
thread-spinning bacillus, etc. The
decomposition products of the H. O.
are, of course, water and oxygen,
both of which are desirable constitu
ents.
“I was led to making this cheap,
appetizing and body-building form of
bread originally by my investigations
on the subject of catalytic decompo
sitinos. At first I used a 30 per cent
solution of ordinary peroxide, but
now I use a special perhydrite. The
blood is allowed to stand in the ice
box for from 24 to 36 hours. The
clots are then removed by draining
or filtering. The remaining serum
with its rich content of nitrogen and
mineral salts is what is used to mix
up the bread. It may also be used
for all sorts of cakes, biscuit and
fancy breads.”

THE VARYING LENGTHS OF A
DAY.
A day is generally supposed to be a
period of 24 hours, but this is not nec
essarily so. The period of the sun’s
position above the horizon also con
stitutes a day. The actual measure
of time covered by a day as we know
it is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 5 sec
onds. In some parts or Norway the
day lasts two whole months without
interruption!
Three and a half months constitu
tes the period of the longest day in
Spitzbergen, while the shortest only
registers two and a half hours! That
is, judging the actual period of light,
which would be the natural day. Pet
rograd’s longest day is 19 hours, and
the shortest five. At Hamburg, the
longest is 17, and the shortest seven.
London’s longest day is, roughly, 16*6,
with the shortest about eight hours.
ERROR CORRECTED.
The announcement in yesterday’s
issue that a meeting of the Civic Club
would be held Monday evening, was
an error; should have read “Tuesday
evening" instead. Therefore, the ad
vertised meeting of yesterday will
be held this evening at 8 o’clock at
the Council Chamber. Every member
is requested to attend as some ways
and means must be devised whereby
the Club may take part in the cele
bration of the Fourth. —B. P. Dickin
son, M. D. Sec.
