Page Organ Confesses Disease Germs
Contained In Waters of Shell Creek

In the light Of subsequent events 1t IS ap-
parent that Chas. Page, more than a year
ago, had his plans made to saddle Tulsa
with Shell creek as a source Of water
supply,
The most striking instance of~this is
proven by the appearance Of scarc-head
story in the Democrat during the carly
part Of May last year, claiming that the
illness Of 90 Tulsa high school boys was
the work of German agents who sought to
destroy Americas young manhood. SO
startling were the claims made that the
Council Of Defense made an investigation
and the findings Of that body are herewith
reproduced as they were printed in the
Tulsa Morning Times Of May ~, in which
the waters of Shell creek are condemned.
Pages attempt to cover up the real situa-
tion by suggesting the German plot story
was to keep the people Of Tulsa from find
ing out just how dangerous Shell creek
water was.
What must the public think of a man
who is willing, nay, even plots to force
poisonous water upon the people of his
own city for the purpose of putting more
dollars in pocket already filled with il
legitimate profits? Germany, as an enemy,
could do no worse than this. What then
can be the opinion about man who would
destroy his own race for so paltry and un-
worthy purpose. The officer who sank
the Lustania would be a preferable
citizen
And, presuming failure to get over with
the Shell creek proposition, how much bet
ter is the condition when, the Spavinaw
plan defeated, we are still forced to use
bottled water impure itself, at an excess
slve cost, and precluding the possibility of
the city's future development. Page doesn't
care about the development of the city un
less ne can reap the profits accruing from
its growth, ~

judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy. developing arms. neck
and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as

gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
