lv" there is comparatively little danger of the
transmission of disease by dirty money Mr.
IJlditch made a number of experiments using
the dirtfest paper money that he could get from
railroad trolley theatre ticket Offices drug stores
and other depositaries of soiled currency In
summing up results, he says: "one conclusion
that NAV be drawn after careful study on the
subject is that money constitutes an uniihpor-
+ant factor in the transmission OF disease. We
want and certainly need more frequent re-
demption of our soiled and worn bills yet the
facts and evidences at hand do not 1astlry us In
alarming the public needlessly by rash state
r,ents concerning our currency. Admitting the
nossibilitv that money may act as a medium OF
transmission certainly the failure of any Vhru-
lent disease germs to manifest themselves in the
foregoing experiments viii allow us to feel a bit
easier in regard to dirty money
