United States Treasurer McCiung
has recommended In his annual report
that congress provide additional faciii-
ties for exchanging old and defaced
United States paper currency for new.
Asserting that there Is widespread
interest which advocates d cleaner
and more sanitary currency. he says
that the sentiment Is q laudable one
and should be attainabIe because the
expense Is but q tribe compared with,
the beneficial resuits. It has been
demonstrated thaf bacteria attach,
themselves readily to paper money.
and there is no doubt that disease Is
thus disseminated. Mr.. McGiung's
