are that this premier money laundry of the world
can be operated at expense not exceeding 500
per day-that Is with outlay of one-hftieth of
a cent for each bill laundered. Even in the pre-
liminary experiments the cost has not exceeded
one-tenth of cent per note laundered, and mas
much as 1t costs 1-3 cents to print each new
note produced at the bureau 1t readily be
appreciated that the saving will be tremendous.
At the outset only the bills of small denomina-
tion-that Is, the 81, 81 and S. notes and certif-
Gates, will be ceansed These, being the bills that
are subjected to the greatest and tear in
circulation, the shortest-lived.
The question will naturally present itself to
the reader as to what proportion of the whole
volume of circulating medium can be laun-
dered. The officials answer that about four-ffths
of all the money sent back to the treasury for
redemption Is 1t to go out for further circulation
II properly cleaned Supposedly worn-out money
pours into the treasury to be exchanged for new
currency at a rate Of more than 100000 900 bills
per year. The Investigations which have been
made by q special committee appointed by the
secretary Of the treasury disclose that fully 80
per cent Of this Is not torn tattered, In
reality shows any sign of wear but has been
turned back by the banks simply because it is
wrinkled or limp and dirty. All of this so per
cent. Of the currency could be laundered and the
experiments to indicate that there is no
reason why each bill should not be laundered

course. in a proportionate saving in the expen-
dlture for labor and material in printing
money.
The experiments which the treasury experts
have been carrying on has been to determine the
best and most economical method Of laundering
money rather than to try out different chemical
formulas for the cleansing. AS a matter Of fact
this latter part of the undertaking has followed
the simplest lines. Plain soap and water the
former good grade Of potash soap, the stand
bys OF the government laundrymen who have un-
dertaken the currency washing task 1t may be
that ultimately the cleansing compound will be
combined with a preparation designed to ster-
ilize the money while IL is being washed, thus
setting at rest. the fears of those persons who
are nervous about the germs on paper money but
the officials have not yet definitely decided that
they will purify the currency well restore
It's pristine freshness. After the money has been
washed it is rinsed and is then dried by artificial
heat.
From this pont-that is, all the finishing pro-
cesses-are identical with those followed In the
case of newly printed currency. but special ma
chinery has had to be provided because the unit

1t, and pulling down on the arm. The
pull should be steady and considerable
force used, but it must not be jerked
by sudden pull. Sometimes the
person giving the first aid can get a
better pull and also assist In pushing
the head Of the bone into place by re.

The Elbow.
The elbow Is quite frequently dislo-
Gated as the result of fall or twist.
The usual kind Is to have the bones Of
the forearm dislocated backward, but
they may go to either side or both
backward and to one side. This dislo-
cation is usually rather difficult to re-
duce and a physician should be seen.

attempted by fixing the hips as solid
ly as possible and pulling down on
the leg. at the same time having an
assistant try to push the head of the
bone towards its normal position. The
muscles around the hip joint are SO
powerful that 1t is often necessary to
give a general anesthetic In order to
relax the spasm Of the muscles which
accompanies every dislocation to q
greater or less degree.
The Knee.
Dislocations at the knee Joint may
take place in any direction. The at

by the same general methods as In
dislocations Of the hip, but this usual
ly Is rather difficult to accomplish.
The Ankle.
Dislocations Of the ankle are in

and usually 1t is better to have the
patient see physician at once rather
than first attempt to reduce 1t without

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Come

In order TO facilitate our moving
about and performing our various du-
ties. the body has been supplied with
numerous movable joints. These are
primarily Of two kinds, hinge joints,
which allow motion only backward
and forward in one place. as at the
knee: and ball and socket Joints
which allow motion, to q certain ex-
tent. In all directions, as at the shoul-
der. The movements Of the joints are
accomplished by the action of the
various muscles that stretch across
them and are fastened at a greater or
less distance on each side. Some
muscles run across two or more
Joints, and SO In a measure assist in
controlling the movement in each of
them.
The most common injury to a Joint
Ii a sprain. It is usually caused by a
sudden twist or wrench Of one of the
bones that goes to make up the Joint.
1t may, however, be produced by slow
over-bending (extension or f1exion) of
the joint as when a person is trying to
bend backward as far as he can or
take some unusual position.
The degree Of the injury done is
variable and depends upon the kind of
sprain. the direction of the force ap-
Piled, and what joint is affected. The
effect may be only slight SO that the
pain subsidies in short time, or it
may be that enough damage has been
done so that dislocation at the joint
occurs, a dislocation being merely a
severe sprain that has torn enough
Hgaments and structures around the
joint to allow one of the bones to
slip out of its place.
Sprains are more frequent in young
and middle-aged adults. The most
common locations are at the ankle
and wrist joints.
Severe sprains, If not treated prop
erly, are liable to cause a permanent
limitation of motion (ankylosis) in the
joint, or disability for long period
of time. 1t very often happens that
partial dislocation or fracture of
the end of one of the bones occurs at
the same time as the sprain, so that
all severe sprains and minor ones that
do not improve promptly should be
seen by physician.
Pain Is always produced by a
sprain; it is usually very severe, often
causing the patient to faint Some.
times movement Of the joint is pos.
stble in some direction in which it
was not possible before the accident
At times the whole joint may appear
loose and relaxed. In a very short
time swelling takes place and then the
pain which may have been lessened
for time, returns. Movement of the
joint now may be greatly lessened or
prevented altogether. 1t is very de-
sirable that the physician see the
Barbour County index., 1910-10-12

D1slocations are severe sprains that
have stretched and torn the ugaments
and tissues around the Joint to such
an extent as to allow the end of the
bones to become misplaced. Some dis
locations are known as congenital,
that Is. they have existed since birth
and are due to some malformation Of
some part of the joint.
The symptoms of a dislocation are
O pain, which Is usually dull, but
may be acute on attempting to move
the joint; (2) more or less deformity,
depending upon the degree of the dis
location; (3) swelling, due to the es-
cape of blood and serum from the
ruptured blood vessels; a. a certain
amount of disability; (5) limitation Of
motion.
If the dislocation Is not reduced IRE.
placed) within a few days, there is
danger of the bones becoming fixed
In their unnatural positions.
In simple dislocations it is permis-
sible for the person giving the first
aid to attempt to reduce it by pulling
on the bone, at some distance from the
part dislocated, and at the same time
attempting to push the end dislocated
back into place. This should only be
tried two or three times, and If not
successful, the patient should be seen
by doctor.
Injuries From a Fall.
In injuries from fall or other ac-
cfdent, where there is a possibility Of
one Of the vertebra being dislocated,
| the patient should De moved very care
fully II necessary to turn the pa
tient over. be sire to turn the hips
| and shoulders and head at the same
time and very slowly. This is very
important. because If a dislocation ex-
lists, the spinal cord, which runs
through the vertebra, is always pinch
ed to certain extent and any addi-
tional pressure upon 1t by the twisting
OF the vertebra may destroy it alto
gether at that point and cause per-
manent paralysis of the body below
that level. or If high up in the spine, it
may cause immediate death. The pa
ttent should not be picked up by the
shoulders and legs and carried or
moved at all until his head and shoul-
ders and hips are firmly fastened to a
long board or shutter so that there is
no possibility of the spine being twist
ed while he Is being moved.
The Shoulder Joint.
Dislocations at the shoulder joint
| are quite frequent. The head of the
upper bone OF the arm (humerous)
may be either below, in front of, or
behind its normal position. Sometimes
1t goes back into place very easily.
and so it is good plan to attempt to
reduce 1t two or three times at least
