FILTHY LUURE.
CLEANSING AMERICAN NOTES
Upitcd Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, May 25. The Treasury has installed machinery for washing and ironing dollar notes, the process also destroying the germs.
The necessity for seme process hy which transmission of diseases by infected paper money can be Prevented ha*** been brought forcibly before th? American public by the energetic campaign of Mr ACressy Morrison. In this matter, however, he is opposed by Mr Warren Hilc.itch, of Yale,, who, while admitting that the handling cf money infect, it, thinks that the peril of contagion from soiled money is crcatiy exaggerated. Against this Mr Morrison gives the observations of Dr. Park, who is satisfied that- tho f_erms of diphtheria end tuberculosis may live ou bills for several clays or longer, and in support of his campaign he quotes from the latest reports cf tho United States Treasury Department which show that the '-clean-money'" agitation has been bearing fruit in the greater volume of soiled notes sent in for redemption.
