ADVENT OF Chinese
new YEAR, 46lS IS
WITHOUT EVENT HERE

Unusually quiet during the present
New year week. has been Saiem's Chi
natovn. Staccato explosions OF man
DARN firecrackers. outside display OF
paper lanterns, posters and all other
indication OF exuberant celebration
are missing.
Representative Chinese citizens of
Salem attribute the dearth OF cele-
bration to three causes: at present the
Oriental population of Salem is very
small: secondly. there Is general at
titude among modern Chinese to
adopt the Gregorian calendar COM
monty used among other nations. The
third reason for lack Ui undue ceie-
bration Of the new year. is one with
which the leading Chinese families
here are we'll satisfied and that is
the lack Of gin and other exhiierat-
ing fluids.
According TO Chinese computation,
this Is the sixth day of the new year.
8. from the beginning Of the Chinese
republic. In old computation the rev.
olution took place in the year 1909.
While 1920 is the English leap
year" the calendar Of the Orient has
"beaten us to IT, by having just pass
ed the Chinese leap year, which con-
tains thirteen months and about $50
days. The usual Chinese year has IL
months or about 354 days. The Chi
nese Leap years. bears no special

The leap year of the Orient (Chi-
MAJ OCCURS every three years or with
slight addition of time, twice In each
five year period. The next leap year
by this old calendar will be in 1928,
according to local Chinese who ex-
planned the time system very care
fully TO the Capital Journal reporter.
This reporter states that all went well
until his informant started to ex-
plain the transition OF the Chinese
calendar, from the year 1917 ana
half. Then politeness and courtesy
were summoned and a promise 'to
call later" brought tho Chinese New
year story successfully to a close.

HOUSEWIVES
CANNING MEAT

'ANRNaNhaN' HFAAeHh
The women Of Addison County can
ned 1000 qis. or about II tons Of
meat last winter and stored il away
Tor use during the summer months
Every town in the county vas repre-
sented, with one exception. 997 quarts
OF this amount were canned In the
town of Salisbury and e66 quarts in
Orwell. These results were reported
TO the Addison County Farm Bureau
after demonstrations or canning bees
were held in the various communi-
ties.
Mrs. Homer Noble Of Ripton canned
IS quarts Of meat last winter by fol
lowing the directions given in the
Farm Bureau News Letter. Mrs
Wright Of jefferson Hill in Orange
County canned As quarts of meat also
by the same method and this winter
she is teaching some Of her neighbors
how 10 can meat. Mrs. +. X. Ed
wards of Richmond, Chittenden county
canned 81 quarts Of chicken us well
as a large amount of pork.
The women have used the following
method for a part of their canning of
beef and il is endorsed by the Vermont
Agricultural Extension Service; Use
good, fresh, clean meat and cut from
the bones in pieces that may be packed
In the jars later. Scar the meat in a
hot frying pan long enough to give n
good brown color and rich flavor.
Pack meat in clean, hot, glass jars.
Add one teaspoon salt 10 each quart
jar and fill with gravy made by add
ing water to the juices left in the
fryng pan.
Place a new rubber Of good quality
on each jar and partially seal. Place
jars on rack in covered container,
such as a wash boiler, in which there
Is hot water enough to cover the jars
Two inches or more. After the water
begins to boil, continue the boiling for
from 3 to 4 hours. Then remove the
jars and finish sealing.
All meats are canned in practically
this same way, but different flavors
and more variety may be obtained ac-
cording to the preparation of the meat
before it is packed into the jars. Cir
cular 10, entitled Preservation Of
Meats on the Farm" gives many other
and may be obtained free
from the Vermont Agricultural ENton-
son Service, Burlington, Vermont.

DISTRICT NURSES NIGHT CALLS

The attention of the community is
again called to Rule 8 of the Nursing
Regulations OF the District Nursing
Association, which is as follows:
"The visiting hours Of the nurse
shall be from $3.50 a. m, to $3.50 p. m.
The nurse is not expected to visit
patients out Of hours, or at night, or
on Sundays except in cases of emer-
gency or when it would be to the detri-
ment of the patient TO omit the visit"
The number Of night calls has so
increased of late that it is impossible
for the nurse TO respond to them and
continue to do her regular work by
day. People are therefore, asked not
to call the nurse for night work unless
absolutely necessary and to leave the
Judgment as to the necessity with the
dictor if possible.
Miss Brown is always ready to re-
spond to doctors calls and TO emer-
gency cases at night, but should not be
called on otherwise. Her reports
show too many night calls and the
officers of the association ask the Co
operation Of the community in reduc
ing the number; although Miss Brown
herself has made no complaint and is
ready to do the limit Of her time and
strength and beyond.
