WOMEN IN FIELD OF SCIENCE
Margaret HuddIeson, a Kansas City
Girl, Gives Instructions on
Fruit Raising.

Detroit.-Wanderin through the
huge white marble buildings OF the
department OF agriculture at Washing
ton, one sees many women, in neat
white aprons. some OF them mere
girls, bending over microscopes and
test tubes. Their activities seem very
mysterious; but when one inquiries,
one learns that they are engaged in
original research work relating in
one way or another to farming or
gardening.
The case OF Miss Alice Henkel, a
botanist in the plant bureau. is note
worthy. If only for the reason that
she entered that establishment orig.
pacity as stenographer and type.
writer. That was only few years
ago. when. mere girl. she came to
Washington from Cincinnati. But she
was the inheritor Of scientific aptitude
from family in which there had been
many searchers after exact truth in
botanical and other lines. and she
quickly took up plant study as a pro
fessional pursuit
Miss Henkel. though still a young
woman, is the author of a number Of
scientific bulletins already issued BY
the plant bureau. One of these Is on
the subject OF Weeds" Another is
on Drug Piants"-this latter subject
being one to which she has devoted
special attention. Up to the present
time more matter of hers has been
published by the government than
from the pen OF any other woman.
Miss Margaret Huddleson is an.
other young woman scientist in the de-
partment of agriculture She halls
IRON Kansas City. Mo. Not long ago
she took high degree at college OF
medicine. and is now a full ffedged
doctor. Teis she did in the intervals
OF her work as pomologist-that he
ing her particular specially. He,
most important business In the div,
sion OF pomology is to give instruction
by letter to people all over the conn
try who want to know about how :,
grow fruits.

Since its discovery one year ago. tho
new drug, poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases OF
eczema and other distressing akin
Affections. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit OF &C.
zema patients in large jars sufficient
for a months treatment. This was
to be an inconvenience to many thous-
ands who use 1t for minor skin troubles.
such as pimpies. blackheads, herpes,
scaly scalp, complexion blemishes. itch

small quantity to cure. The over
come this, and in response to urgent
appeals, the dispensers OF pcslam have
been obliged to adopt, In addition to
the regular two-dollar package, q spe-

be found on sale at ]. w. Weis' snd
other leading drug stores in Hammond
or may be ordered direct from the En-
Urgency Laboratories, No. 80 West 25th

cases poslam stops itching with fgsi
