Show Clean Money. United States Treasurer , McClung has recommended in his annual report that congress provide additional facilities facili-ties for exchanging old and defaced United States paper currency for new. Asserting that there is a widespread interest which advocates a cleaner and more sanitary currency, he says that the sentiment is a laudable one and should be attainable because the expense is but a trifle compared with the beneficial results. It has been demonstrated that bacteria attach themselves readily to paper money, and there is no doubt that disease Is thus disseminated. Mr. McClung's crusade for a clean currency ought to find prompt and sympathetic response. |
