CONSUL MOTTU AS A BUILDER.
A Mans Hobby n Fine Rest from
Business Cares.

From the Springfield Republican.
Baltimore is taking joy in the Dutch
Consul, Henri Mottu, who is revealing
himself as a man of much versatility.
Born in Holland, with a French father
and an Italian mother, he speaks many
languages fiuently and has added Eng
lish since arriving in Baltimore.
Besides his official duties, he is in the
employ OF fidelity and guaranty COM

his building, with his unaided hands, a
bungalow on his country place. He takes
It instead of golf. going out every day
after business hours and working while
light lasts, and then returning for a
late dinner.
1t would be interesting to know how
many men follow such a hobby-building
houses or boats or engines or making
furniture. II a census could be taken,
the total number would possibly be
rather impressive, and for those who

Health of the Hair.

General health has much to do with the
looks OF the hair. Glossy, lively hair gen
orally indicates health, and dull. ilnat-
tractive hair shows a poor physical con-
dftion. So the first requisite for beautiful
or even moderately attractive hair is good
general health. Granted that. clean, we'll
brushed and carefully arranged hair II
bound to look well.
There are various opinions as to the
advisability OF frequent washing Some
two weeks and others are convinced that
with frequent airing a shampoo every six
weeks or two months is quite enough. On
one subject, however. authorities agree.
That Is on the value OF massage of the
scalp. This does not necessarily mean
very long or elaborate treatment. II Is
surprising to watch the good effects OF
even a short time spent in massaging the
head.
When you have let the hair down at
night allow it to hang as It will on the
shoulders. Then run the hands under the
hair and with the balls OF the fingers with
firm. gentle pressure rub the scalp vigor-
ously in all directions. This treatment
frees the scalp skin of any scurf or dam
druff promotes the active circulation OF
the blood on the surface and prevents the
hair from lying fiat on the head or grow
ing in one directions tendency when one
always arranges the hair in the same
way.

To remove stains from the nails, use

will be surprised to see how much they
will be improved. Now dry and rub each
nail with a tiny pad moistened with al

picion OF oil, dust with oatmeal. and then
rub hands and nails with channels, giving
the nails special attention.
Vinegar will restore the fresh. healthy
color to hands soaked with dish water.
