The tragic e- vent took place in the hospital ward, where Ferns had been alone for some time. - Ferns was a blacksmith by trade but had not worked steadily at. the business for years. He was an ecâ€" centric character. but was harmless and at irregular intervals made the jail his home. On September 10 he retired to that institution and right. up until Tuesday appeared to he the same character he always was. When Gov. Bowles went in-- to the hospital ward he saw Ferns in the coriwr with a towel around his neck and he at once released the unfortunate man. Life was not. yet extinct. but. Ferns died 21 minute or two after being releas- ed. He had evidently planned to end his existence. for be secured :1 roller towel. got on a chair and tied the towel to a nail in the wall and wound the other end around his neck and steppt’rd oil the chair.

Residents of Durham who miss It will be greatly to the advantage of Canada it the entire quota of 100,000 men to be raised under the Military Service Act can be secured from the first class; that is, from the men between the ages of 20 and 34 who were unmarried or widowers without children on July 6th, 1917. This is almost self-evident for the following reasons: it is admitted that, between the ages of 20 and 34, the average man is at the height of his physical strength and is most adaptable to the change of conditions from civilian life; the military service of unmarried men and widowers without children would occasion less distress than that of most others, since they are largely without dependents. Also, it would entail less financial burden for Canada, through separation allowances, etc. (Authorities estimate that, after all proper exemptions have been allowed. Canada should be able to produce from the first class 100,000 men fit for service, so the drain upon the man power of the country will not be severe. Members of Class One will be well advised to present themselves for examination immediately to the Medical Board in their district. Upon examination as to their physical fitness, they will be placed in one of the following categories: Category Aâ€"if fit for service in overseas fighting units. Category Bâ€"if fit for service overseas in Army Medical Corps, Forestry Battalion, etc. Category Câ€"ii fit for service in Canada only. Category Eâ€"if unfit for military service of any nature. "not placed in Category A, the applicant will know that he is not liable for immediate service, but will go to the Post Office and send in a claim for exemption with his Medical Certificate attached, when he will re- ceive in due course a certificate of exemption until those in his medical category are summoned for service. Will Class One Provide The One Hundred Thousand Men? Where a man, who is placed in category A, feels that exemption should be allowed, an application form can be secured from the postmaster. This form, when filled in, will be forwarded by the postmaster to the registrar of the district, and the a plicant will be informed by mail as to the time and place for the consideration of his application by the eruption Board.
