It's the same story over again.

They try doctors and different medi-

take Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable

the case of Mrs. Miner.
That's the truth of the matter. If you

NATURALIZATION
Of RAILROADS
(By Associated Press)

Dublin, Dec. 1.-The commits
sion appointed by the Irish Gov
ernment to inquire into the
working of Irish railways has
just reported, with one dissent
ing vote, in favor Of the nation>
alization Of the railways by the
State. 1t is recommended, how
ever, that the management be not
in the hands of a State Minister,
but by National Railway Board
representing various interests:
including labor.
The presen1 market value OF
the entire railway stock in Ire
land is estimated at between
twenty five and thirty millions
pounds sterling which, it is sus-
gested, should be acquired by a
tribunal that would issue bonds
at reasonable interest and re.
deemable from a sinking fund in
instalLlnents every ten years.
The project Of naturalization,
however, has been broadly criti-
cized it is not popular
The Irish railways are at pres
ent being run under difficulties.
During the war fares were ra1s-
ed 100 per cent although the
increase in England was only IS
| per cent. This has now been re-
duced to SO per cent, while the
! Irish 100 per cent increase re-
! mains unaltered.
