certainly rendered the county some
very able service during the past
three and half years, and we now
believe that with the knowledge gain
ed that he will be able to carry on the
work in his office on an improved
basis. That Mr.. reret thoroughly I'M

remark emanating from one of the

intelligently represent Holt county in
the Halls Of the Missouri Legislature.
There Is not Ia our knowledge q

For years John kunkel has been q
close student of current literature and
keen observer of local conditions,
and now at O ripe and mature age,
he proposes to give to his people the
value Of his life's study. There is no
use trying to rub il out, John Kunkel
is exceptionally well qualified to make
Holt county the kind of representa-
tive that we need at this time. In all
probability the next legislature of this
state will be safely Republican, and
1t would indeed be q fortunate condi-
ton that Holt county should delegate
her representative in that body to be q
man like John H. kunkel. II cannot
be disputed but what there are writ
ten upon the statute books Of this
state some very obnoxious laws and

matter much serious and careful
thought. John Kunkel would be nm
independent man in the legislature
No clique, gang or faction would have
any influence over him. He would
be governed only by honest motives
and desire to perform faithful and
meritorious service In behalf of The
people who made it possible for him
to have seat in the legislature.
For years Mr.. Kunkel has been
very active Republican and during
past elections he has rendered The
party valuable aid in helping to fight
its battles. He is a WORTHY citizen
and his candidacy should appeal TO
all thinking people who are anxious
to send to the legislature q man who
can render the most noteworthy and
valuable service. ""'
We hope the Republican voters will
put on their thinking caps In this

Union. In these strenuous days when
time is flying fast we should not for
get those who have made it possible
for all mankind in the American
Union to enjoy freedom and liberty.
And now in interceding in behalf Of
Levi Oren's candidacy for County
Treasurer, we are going to ask that
his claims be carefully weighed in.
Years ago when this office only car
ried meager salary 70 IL Levi Oren
was elected a. County Treasurer Of
Holt county, and be IL said to his
credit, he left behind him most
crcditabe record, proving that he
was amply well qualified to handle
all the business Of this Office. and Il
the good people of this county again
honor him with the office he will
honestly and faithfully account for
every penny that passes through his
hands. Mr.. Oren is ripe with age,
yet he Is still very active man, and
will not he prevented by any physical
defect from giving the office his en-
tire personal attention. He Is not
asking the people for the office
through sympathy, but with q full
knowledge that he can acceptably fill
the same. rendering his people faith
full and efficient service.
Levi Oren Is q well known citizen,
having friends and acquaintance in
every neighborhood in the county.
They know him to he a most deserv-
ing citizen and one that can be trusted
TO perform his duties in an hones.,
straightforward manner.
Owing to the lack Of transportation,
Mr.. Orcn has not made a personal
canvass of the county. lie could not
hope to see all the people anyway,
50 he Is trusting his candidacy In the
hands of his friends, believing that
the people u whole will give him
a square deal without him having TO
get out and line them up. one by one.
Many of his friends feel certain that
he will win the nomination. and If he
docs one Of Holt county very best
and most distinguished citizens will
have boon recognized and elevated TO
q very important office.

FOOD CHEMISTS TRIES
 BLOOD BREAD" MAKING

Blood, which occurs as a by-product in abhatoirs, 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- cred a method of using denatured Llood.
 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 widespread 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 oxidizing agent kills 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
 q 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 used 30 per cent solution of ordinary peroxide, but now I use special perhydrite. The blood is allowed to stand in the ice box for from "A to 36 hours. The clots are then removed by draining or Altering The remaining serum with it's 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 "A hours, but this is not nee essarily so The period of the sun s position above the horizon also con stitutes a day. The actual measure of time covered by day as we know it is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and sec onds. In some parts or Norway the day lasts two whole months without interruption!
 Three and half months constitu- tes the period of the longest day in Spitzbergen, while the shortest only registers two and 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 IT, and the shortest seven London's longest day is, roughly, 161a, with the shortest about eight hours.

DRUMMER BOY HERO
 ASKS NATIONS AID
VETERAN OF SIxTY-TWO ANx- JOUS TO FIND HIS LOST
 SISTER.

SILVER SPRINGS, Md, June S. The saddest veteran in America, these memorial and preparedness days, is Bernard Brady, known as "the hero drummer boy" Possibly some read CT can make him the happiest. How? By finding some trace of his lost sis ter.
 July 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 Fourth of July celebration at New Diggings, Wis, in 1866.
 She had dark hair and heavy eye brows and was slender Until she was 16 she lived with an uncle of the same name at New Diggings and at Galena, III. She was born sixty-fve 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 lad of g. the age of our fourth grade kiddies today-little Bernard Brady marched off to war, drum sticks ill nanu. He was the North's Civil War baby, the youngest drummer boy who fought
 When the war was ended and Brady wac dicoharpad-a niooe Of uyar'c 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 name was Bernard Brady, he knew practically nothing about himself.
 In the next thirty years his was the weird experience of a man finding himself. Gradually he discovered what his family was, his birthplace, and in 1897 learned how old he was! He taught himself to read and write.
 The best 1 can make out" Brady said, lis 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 drummer boy.
 Drummer boy I was called, but was jack-of-all-trades for the men, Did everything from running errands to holding candle while they played cards. I was at Petersburg, at Rich mond, in the fight at Bachelors 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 Soldering 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 boy in Wisconsin
 She is the only close relative left if she is still alive.
