What Is regarded as a certain remedy for effecting at least a partial cure for general paralysis, hitherto Incurable, was announced today by three French physicians. Professor Lc vadatl, bacteriologist of the Pasteur In. stltute; Dr. Auguste Marie, a leading specialist of the state mental depart ment, and Dr. De Martel, one of the leading surgeons. 'The treatment con sists of the Injection of Dr. Ehrllchs salvarsan serum into the brain. Professor Levadatl In describing It, said: "We injected Into a rabbit's brain the strongest possible dose of salvarsan, which la seven centigrams of the serum to each kilogram of the animal's weight. One hour after inoculation the rabbit was bled and the resultant serum was heated for three quarters of an hour at a temperature of C6 degrees centigrade. 'Liquid Bathes Brain. "The first test was made on a pa tient on December 1, who had beer, stricken with general paralysis on April 1 last. Dr. De Martel trepanned his skull and two small holes were, bored into the cranium box. Through each aperture Dr. Marie and myself placed five cubic centimetres' of this serum. The needles were directed under the brain envelope so that the cerebral mat ter was bathed with the liquid. "A few hours later the patient de veloped convulsions and for three hours a high temperature was the chief symp tom. On the night of December 4. the patient began to quiet down and the next day he was perfectly quiet, his mind was collected and he was able to read for the first time in many months. "The other example was still more striking. The patient had been stricken with general paralysis in 1903 and at the time we undertook the treatment was scarcely able to speak and suffered mental delusions. The reaction on this patient lasted five days but the follow ing day all symptoms of mental disorder had disappeared and his condition wrs greatly improved in every way. He now Is in excellent condition with the ex ception of his eyesight. This we have been unable to remedy as yet. "Although the inaction of serum pro voked an Intense cerebral reaction, I am confident that this reaction is asso ciated with the microbe killing effect of the serum which results In the sterili sation of the brain."

BOYS AND GIRLS ARE ASKED NOT TO FORGET CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS The boys and gins of Portland schools are asked not to forget the "ReJ Stocking" Christmas planned for 400 boys and girls' by the People's Institute. These are little folks who cannot hang up their stockings at home with any assurance that they will be filled. They are little folks who will be gathered from all' over the city, to bring them within the radios of the Christmas cheer that will be disseminated at the big "Ked Stocking" party to be given De cember 30 at the Trinity church house. Ked stockings may be obtained e,ithcr from Miss Prlchard at the People's In stitute, Fourth and Burnslde (Telephone Main 1871), or at The Journal offica. They are to be filled, having In mind some little boy or girl and when filled marked on the outside with information that will show whether the stocking is Intended for a boy or girl, and what age. Miss Prichard says every boy and girl who fills a stocking will be a "Christ mas fairy doing good," and she thinks, and so does The Journal, that It is a fine way to help celebrate Christmas. MISSOURI TO SUE LINES FOR $18,000,000 DUE ON PAST OVERCHARGES (Continued From Page One.) was on the Missouri Paclflo and he Seeks to compel that road to return ...... .4 AAA AAA In AvrdBII r.ha.r?AH. Soils against IS other railroads will bf filed at once, the attorney general !nach bill demanding an accounting to determine the exact amount each rolffl 'obtained from shippers and travel t( in excess rates -while the famous ate cases were pending at Washing ton. He will ask that a master be ap pointed by the court to examine tho books of each of the defendant roadi. Judge McPherson's refusal to grant tho request of the railroads that hla decision Include an order that the lia bilities of the roads for excess charges should bo limited by me $10,000 tondx they put up when the Injunctions vera granted, was hailed by the attorney general as a decided victory for thtt state. "The two-cent law and tho minimum freight rate law became effective In 1907." said Barker, "but the railroads deprived the people of Missouri from enjoying the benefits-of reduced fars by obtaining injunctions. They contin ued to charge the old high rates while the case lingered In the courts, ar.d t is ipnly fair that every cent of the ex cess fares they collected be returned to the people of the state." Arguing before Judge Mcpherson, the railroads expressed the belief that thousands of suits for small amounts would be started all over the state of Missouri and that In many cases the trial costs would exceed the amount Involved. Attorney General Barker said tonight that he believes he is the proper of ficial to sue In behalf of all of the people of the state, because It was the attorney general that was enjoined rrom enforcing tne law when it was first passed. ' Tfy virtually consolidating the case of thousands of Mlssourians against the roads, he believes the suits may be settled more quickly and at the small est possible cost. Barker estimates tnat the railroads exacted 18.000,000 illegally from pas sengers and $10,000,000 from shippers REPUBLICANS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STOP THE CURRENCY WORK (Continued From Page One.) BASKETS FILLED WITH GROCERIES, CLOTHING AS WELCOME AS MONEY There are many families who desire to pack Christmas baskets for others not so fortunate as they. There are many who do not have money to give but have other things that are worth as much or more than money to the needy. The Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America are sending out Christmas baskets and their work is worthy of cordial cooperation. Individual requests reach this office. and it is possible frequently to bring those who desire to give in touch with those who need. During the week fuel has been gotten In this way to a num ber of families. Groceries have been sent to the hungry, clothing has been secured, and shoes, for both children and adults. One contributor brought canned pine apples, rolled oats, condensed milk and mince meat, which promptly went to a family needing Just such things. About the Cbirstmas exchange desk last night were 6 quarts of canned fruit, packages of garments and four cases, each con taining four dozen cans of salmon, con tributed by Charles Burkhart of the North Pacific Fisheries. There is no need that in Portland any should be cold or hungry, or have the sense of being friendless, at this Christmas time, and The Journal Is glad to be of serv ice in getting the contributions to those who are In need.
