HOW MANY TEASPOONS
 IN A POUND?

Five cubic centimeters is what the bureau of standards has set as the theoretical quantity teaspoon holds but all spoons do not conform to this. The housekeeper measures with tea spoon and should fill it "level", not "heaping." How many teaspoons does a pound of baking powder contain ? Apparently the number depends on yourself, upon the spoon used, upon the brand of baking powder you buy, upon the can in the lot which you hap pen to get, and upon few other fact ors which though seemingly inconse- quential do enter into the problem.
 A pound of baking powder lasts long, CT with some cooks than it does w,sh others. In an endeavor to lears where the difference is made the experiment. al kitchen in the office of home eco- monies of the United States depart ment of agriculture recently conduct ed series of experiments.
 Various types of cooking teaspoons were first experimented with to deter mine the exact amount held in each case. Both the ordinary teaspoon and those measuring spoons" which are linked together in sets were tested. A variation of from 126 to 150 teaspoons was found in the same pound can when different teaspoons were used.
 The personal equation also enters into the amount which is called tea spoonful. It was found the differences due to individual manipulation ranged from 10 per cent to 30 per cent, a wider range of variation than those due to the different capacities of diff. farpnt tpa cnOopc

 An old fellow-Dr. Cooper was his name, we believe-used to travel through the west, peddling medicines. He was an accomplished banjoist and harmonicaist. To help make expens- es, he and his son, who always travel ed with him, had little horse-race game on board. Those who wished to could bet on either of the two horses, and had to pay young Cooper nickel for each race. Two of our old-timers --our informant believes it was Dan Francis and Hugh Campbell--grew nightly interested in the game. Each had about $10 in his pocket, and they bet against each other all the evening. Finally they stopped, whereupon Dan said:
 "Say, Hugh, you've won all my mon- ey, now buy the drinks"
 "Won all your money? What are you talking about, man? You won all of my money"
 "You're a fool" retorted Dan, q had $10 when we started and it's all gone but 5 cents."
 Then there arose dispute that soon grew pretty warm, each accusing the other of holding out on him. Finally they appealed to an arbitrator. It took the latter some time to convince them that the nickels they had paid young Cooper on the races had cleaned them both out.
