PAPER MONEY FULL OF GERMS.
Representative Wiley wouId De-
stroy Diseased Legal Tenders.

Representative Wiley WouId De-
stroy Diseased Legal Tenders.
Every s. and SO bill is a hotel housing
hundreds of thousands OF disease germs;
every 81 bill is a city OF microbes.
This was the argument made before
the subcommittee OF the House Banking
and Currency Committee yesterday by
Representative Wiley. who introduced a
bin to give the people clean money early
in the session. His measure provides that
whenever any paper money is returned
to the Treasury for redemption It shall
be destroyed and be replaced by new
and aseptic legal tender.
One 81 bill examined by a microscopic
for Mr.. Wiley showed the presence of
no less than 100000 living organisms of
various kinds. No germs were found on
metal money. The action of the metal
in coins, especially copper, seems to be
hard on the microbes. and If any get on
they die within a few hours. They will
live and thrive on paper money for
long time.
