Secretary MacVeagh Would Cut Bank Note Size Nationwide
The Secretary of the Treasury proposes reducing United States currency and National bank notes to 6 by 2 inches, cutting sizes from 7.28 by 3.04 inches. The redesign would standardize all denominations, save about 900000 annually for the government and 200000 for National banks, and introduce uniform engravings with distinctive portraits to deter counterfeiting. The plan requires eighteen months to complete, with a temporary phase of two sizes and preprinting to swap at sub treasuries and banks.

Fumigation Method for Bed Bugs and Household Pests
Prof H A Surface states that intense pest infestations can be tackled without odor and labor. He prescribes corrosive sublimite in alcohol for light infestations and hydrocyanic acid gas fumigation using potassium cyanide and sulfuric acid for larger spaces with precise measurements. The process requires careful handling, a tightly closed room, and a two to four hour run time, with a follow up repeat treatment in two to three weeks in many cases.
