KIWANIS HEARS
CANCER SPEECH
DR.. j. @. Arnson Explains Dis.
ease Which Has Baffled
Doctors

Cancer, its causes, effects, and
the eradication Of the disease, pro-
vided an interesting and instructive
talk today by DR.. ]. o. Arnson at
the weekly meeting Of the Kiwanis
club.
The disease of cancer constitutes
one Of the most serious menaces to
mankind, and medical scientists have
been many years inquiring into the
many battling phases.
Through proper treatment" said
DR.. Arnson, cancer may be eradi-
Gated in two generations, say SO
years, but it is not at all possible
that the public will devote the time
and study to the disease to bring it
about"
Cancer may be cured if the dis
ease is given the proper attention
before it affects the mucous men,
branes."
Cancer was described as being a
disease of the mucous membranes,
and a hereditary disease.
Laboratories all over the world are
interested in this disease and its pc
culiarities, and scientists are devot-
ing their entire lives to the study
Of it.
The disease, the speaker explained,
is traceable through generation after
generation.
DR.. Arnson was introduced by DR..
N. 0. Ramstad, who was entertain
ment chairman for the day. After
listening to DR.. Arnson's instructive
talk for half an hour, every member
Of the club expressed the opinion
that the discourse was an instructive
one, dealing as it does with disease
practically unknown outside of the
medical profession.
George Shafer, president. intro
duced the guests and the entertain
ment committee chairman for the
day. He also called attention to the
Forthcoming Community Chest drive,
which will be staged during the first
week Of October.
kiwanians have been called upon
to participate in this drive with both
their time and contributions. Fif-
teen kiwanians will be appointed to
assist in the drive for funds.
Guests today were: DR.. S. A. Zim-
norman, Valley City; U. L. Burdick,
Fargo; Rev. John Heitz, liver Acker,

the lines of their bodies might not be
hidden or disfigured.
The American investigator dis
covered in her prowlings through the
palace that there existed one peep
hole by which the women of the
harem could look upon men other
than their sultanic master and their
guardian eunuchs. High in the wall
Of the palacesmosque where the sui
tan and his masculine followers wor-
shipped, DR.. Miller found a tiny win
dow covered with a golden lattice
and discovered that this window con-
|nected with the room in the harem
where the women gathered to pray.
The purpose cf the window wa, to
allow the voice of the priest con-
ducting the mems service to pene-
trate to the priestless women wor-
shippers, but it is presumable that
it was put to less sanctified pur-
pose when sultanas and slaves must
have jostlcd each other for a chance
to peek through the golden bars at
the rare sight Of many men.
During her final investigations
this year DR.. Miller was given per.
mission by the new republican Turk
ish authorities to enter every one of
the hundreds Of palace rooms save
one. No human except the sultans,
not even the sultan shifting, religion
defying Mustapha Kemal, has ever
entered that sanctum sanctorum
where the beard of the Prophet re-
poses. Outside the heavily barred
window Of that room 40 turbaned

AMERICAN DISCOVERS PEEP HOLE !.
in ANCIENT HOLY TURKISH HAREM

Constantinople, Sept. 1S.-(R-An
American woman, the first foreigner
whom the Ottoman government per-
mitted to enter the harem of Serag-
lio palace, has just completed an ex-
haustive study of that mysterious
labyrinth.
She is DR.. Barnettc Miller, head
Of the history department of We'll
lesley college, who returned to
Stamboul this year to complete the
Investigations she began in 1907.
Aided by young Turkish girl, Me-
brouke Hanem, a member Of the staff
Of Constantinople College for Wom-
|en, DR.. Miller is the first American
to delve deeply into the shadowy his
tory of the vast 5OO-year old palace
where Turkish padishahs and sultans
and their hundreds and thousands Of
slaves lived hidden lives.
Her studies have been concerned
chiefly with the women Of the i'm
perial harem. Great women some
of them were, such as Kersem Sui
tana, so beautiful that she was sur
named "Body Of the Moon," who
when old abrogated so much power
that the reigning sultan, her son.
ordered eunuchs to strangle her at
night with the cords Of her bed-cur-
tains.
DR.. Miller has made study, too,
Of the lives Of the palace slaves and
has discovered such picturesque de-
tails of their existence as the exist
ence of a law that no slave could be
whipped more than once day with
more than 40 lashes. She found also
that slaves were not allowed to wear
coats, no matter how cold the dark
draughty rooms Of the palace, so that
