Forty-nine years ago Robert Scott
Lovett was born on his fathers farm

of San Jscinto county, Texas. The
youthful years of Bob Lovett were un

did other boys in that backwoods Sec

winter and summer months.
Bob attended school at the First
Chapel schoolhouse, which was situat-

he learned his letters and also how to
read and write. He attended this

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

Detroit.-Wandering 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.
botanist in the plant bureau, is note
worthy, if only for the reason that
she entered that establishment orig
inally in an ordinary clerical ca
pacity as stenographer aud type
writer That was only a few years
ago, when. a 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 q pro-
fessional pursuit.
Miss Henkel, though still young
woman, is the author of number of
scientific bulletins already issued by
the plant bureau. One of these is on
the subject of Weeds" Another Is
on Drug Plants"-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
from Kansas City, Mo. Not long ago
she took a high degree at college of
medicine, and is now a full fledged
doctor. This she did in the intervals
of her work as pomologist-that be.
ing her particular specially. Her
most important business in the diyf.
sion of pomology is to give instruction
by letter to people all over the coun-
try who want to know about how to-
grow fruits.

Pretty soon, however, before her arm healed, she
began to have sore eyes. They kept getting
worse, and we took her to the DOCTOR Pretty
soon she was blind in one eye, and could see very
little with the other They told us she had ulcers
on the eyeballs, and we had five different doctors,
some of the best specialists, and paid out
5000 for her treatment. They told US she would
lose her sight. She could not stand the least
particle of light, and so kept her in dark
room for weeks at time. Occasionally she would
be little better, but she became SO poor and
nervous that she could not sleep, and did not
know what on earth to do, and just dis
couraged as could be when my mother said to me:
