When the typhoid fever epidemic was
at its height, when cases were being re-
ported daily and everybody expected that
there would be many deaths from the
disease, one local flower firm decided to
make speculation on death. 1t was
figured out that there would be an un-
usual number of deaths and that this
would cause demand for an unusual
number Of floral pieces. In the manu-
facture of floral pieces moss is an abso-
lutte necessity, and the peculiar kind that
is used comes from Oregon and Wash
ington. The firm in question thought to
make speculation by ordering guam
tity of this moss early and running a
corner in it. The moss has arrived and
has been placed in storage. But out of
all the cases of typhoid fever the deaths
have numbered less than 25, and there
is one firm that has moss enough on
hand for several years.-San Francisco
Examiner.
