Money Carries Poison.

Notwithstanding the strong popular
prejudice against tainted money, 1t Is
noticed that most persons accept 1t
when it is offered, rather than seem
rude. 1t is the same way with green
backs and coin which are objectiona-
bic by reason Of npleasantness-w
not say frankly, dirt?-acquired
through long service. Cash In such
condition, whether paper or metal,
may be obviously filthy, and even dis
agreeable to the sense Of smell, but 1t
Is never refused. Once ! heard man
say: Il will take all the microbes that
come with a dollar bill, no matter how
many" This is undoubtedly the way
most folks feel about the matter, re-
marks Richard Benter in Technical
World Magazine. But nndeniably the
microbes in question are frequently
legion. And, obviously, the older
banknotc or treasury certificate hap
pens to be, the greater the number Of
germs It carries Neither paper nor
any kind Of metal Is food for microbes.
Thus It may be considered that note
fresh from the treasury or coin new
from the mint Is practically sterile
that is TO say, germfree. But as soon
as money Of either kind begins to pass
from hand 10 hand II ACQUIRES Dirt and
thus becomes a breeding ground for
great variety OF germs, some OF which
are liable 70 be those Of disease. An
exact study OF the subject has been
made recently by the director Of the
research laboratory OF New York, who
summing mp his conclusions in a re
port, states that. as shown by micro
SCOPE examination, an average piece
OF paper money. moderately clean,
carries g 500 bacteria. On an aver.
age dirty bin thero will be about $4,000
bacteria Most bacteria, 1t should be
understood. are harmless but many
species nro the germs OF dangerous
diseases.

CANNOT EXAMINE OFFICIALS.
Petition Of Union Men Defendants in
Injunctiona Action Refused

Kenosha Judge +. b. Belden Of the
circuit court handed down a decision
denying the motion of John DAILY, mem
bers of the Kenosha Buffers union ct
al, who demanded that they be given
the right to examine the officials Of
the Badger Brass company before
making answer in a suit for an in
junction recently brought against the
union and its members by the com
pany. In his decision, which is one Of
the longest ever filed in the local
court, the judge holds that such an
examination is unnecessary on account
Of the fact that a great deal of the in
formation sought by the union men
Is peculiarly their own and that other
information sought may be secured
from public records. The members Of
the union were forced TO 90 into court
and defend the charges made against
them in the suit. OF allow the injunc-
ton to be made permanent
