ALMOST ALL MEN PHYSICALLY FIT PUT IN UNIFORM. Now Ihscussing Which Called Next--Periodically To Be Made, That there of the calling up by classes or cate- gories of men under Service J tary circle Out or the of Quebec whic h has already occas- ioned so much trouble, almost all of the easily available men in Class 1 are now in uniform. In this district, the only remaining men in Class 1 not in uniform are deserters who fail-| ed to report when called or men granted extended exemption. In the former class the Dominion Police are making heavy raids and every day bringing in a gang, In the latter, the! Military representatives are making the most minute inquiries: and en- deavoring to prove that the exemp- tion should not be allowed. A ques- tionnaire is being sent out to all of} these men and questions are being, asked of relatives and friends. In| all cases where the first evidence gs not borne out by these facts, the case is reviewed and time a new decision is given. The work of securing more men who are physically fit or in Category A. are used for combatant units. The| men in category B, who are not good! | enough physically for combatant ser- {vice but needed in such work as for- {estry and railway construction, are {now being called. These men are | now being sent a questionnaire which asks all manner of questions. {On this their exemption will be de-| leided., i the men are disallowed {they will be called in the same way, that the category A men were draft- ed, | In connection with the exemption] of 'these men, Judge Lavell stated on Monday that he expected to have {a number of these vases before him lin the near future The authorities here do not know [whether the next class will be for category C men, for those above the Military Service Act age limi (thirty-four years) or for- married men without children. As category C men are useful only for homé¢ service it is unlikely that they will be called. The increase in the age limit is possible but the medical {authorities claim that thirty-four is {the limit of a man's physical use- [fulness, The call to married men | wonld not be as well accepted by the public as either of the first two classes, There will certainly be continued work for Major H. P, Cooke and his staff in any event, as more men are to be called periodically. IS NOW CAPT. SCOTT. A. G. Scott, M.(.,, Has Been In France Two Years, Lieut, A. G.

Tweed, Ont, Apr. 17.--This is a cheering letter from--Mrs. Wagar, be- cause it describes the condition in which many women find themselves and tells how cure was effected. Once the food cure was resorted to the.system was gradually and cer- tainly built up and reconstructed. The .0ld symptoms disappeared, be- cause the reason for their existence had been overcome. It is well worth while to give Dr. Chase's Nerve Food ia trial when such results\are ob- tained. Mrs. H, BE.

Thirty-two/ Thousand Troops Have Crossed It Since The War Began! ~Swing Span Now Being Moved. Work on the removing of the mili- {tary bridge connecting Kingston and Barriefield is under way, men under the direction of Frederick G. Smith, an engineer from the Pub-| | ie 'Works Department, Ottawa, are | now engaged in removing the swing span. This span is all that remains of the original causeway and built in 1884. The engineer states! that there is no span like it now in| existence. piles at fifteen feet centres frame work was constructed of 10{ by 10 timbers which were mostly of! hemtock, the floor being of three inch maple. It is difficnlt to ascertain what it cost to build it as the work was performed by day Mbor under the direction of the Public Works | Department. Eight years ago it be- came evident that the old bridge should be replaced by a safe struc- j tute, It was the propenty of a pri- vate company which annually called for bids for the toll gate. In this way wu revenue was obtained to pay | dividends to the sharehglders, but | repairs were badly needed. In fact it was a question as to whether the | whole bridge should be renewed. The | €ity Council bought out the company | | and handed over the -old bridge to the Government, which had dscided to build a modern causeway. It built the pile bridge, a temporary struc- | ture intended to serve until the new | causeway was 'constructed. This {| temporary. bridge was destined - to *| render most valuablb service, for it | was hardly completed when the war broke out. All the troops, infantry and artillery, the Barriefield Camp 1914, crossed this bridge. number is 32,000. since July | The exact | ox A scene from the Sea" at the Friday and Saturday, 20th, matinee and night, Grand Opera House, April 19th and "DAYLIGHT SAVING" TO BE QUITE POPULAR. Result of Earlier Start at Studies Railroads Working Without Confusion, Kingston 'daylight saving," appears to be working Enquiries from a variety of services reveal that it is running smoothly. It had been expected that the in- novation would at -first result in some slight confusion and inconven- iencg, but reports from all over the Dominion are to the effect that the changes have been received with satisfaction, Some confusion was looked for on the railways, but this was practi- cally nome. The railroads advanced their clocks the same as every other institution and the travellers had to comply or miss their trains, A few who neglected to look after the time, missed their train, but this is not unusual, for under the old time peo- ple often arrived late just the same, The train officiale also report that the employees made the change with few complaints. They seemed to take the change as a matter of fact, and had 'no troule in adjusting themselves to doing things on hour earlier than before. As the. season advances, and the days lengthen, the longer hours of daylight in the evenings will be in- creasingly noticeable, The schools are observing the new time, -and it is held by some that the pupils seem to be much brighter as a result of starting their studies an hour earlier. has had four days. of and the new time Farmers Not Satisfied.
