DIRTY BANK NOTES.
‘‘The circulation of dirty, filthy, bank notes is becoming both a scandal and a danger,” remarks the current issue of the Mercantile Gazette. “The note circulation is now very large,” the journal continues, “because notes are legal tender, and unquestionably some of the bank notes that pass from hand to hand are a menace to public health. If a tradesman or shopkeeper sent out goods half as dirty as some of the notes circulated by the banks, the Health Department would very soon be on his heels. The Department could very reasonably make a periodical examination of the notes in the tills of the banks, and condemn those that are unsafe from a health point to be circulated.”
