 In ancient times. as Virgil tells us, the City of Troy withstood for ten years the besieging forces of the Creeks With all their power of men, money and arms the Greeks could not break down the impregnable de- lenses of the city. One day, before the gates of the city, appeared a huge wooden horse. present from the Greeks to the Trojans. The gift was accepted and installed in the city With due honor. One man alone made pro- test saying, II fear the Greeks, even when bearing gifts.''
 At night a secret door ill the horse was opened, a picked band of armed Greeks sprang out, assailed the Tro- jans from behind. in the dark. and Troy was lost. What men, money and arms could not accomplish was ac- complished by a false token of good will.
 It might be we'll to find out what is inside the "Warrenite" horse be- fore giving it place of honor in the capitol at Hartford.

The newspaper, which acts as the publicity agent of the politicians
 seeking control of the highway de-
 partment insists that an investiga- tion of this alleged "slush fund.- of
 the Good Roads association must be had. ''Slush fund" implies that some one has money to use.
 Investigation will show that. with all bills paid on January 1. 1917. we would have had a net balance of $76.73 in the treasury. This balance is the "slush fund" with which we are to Accelerate the passage" of the highway appropriation through the legislature.
 The Connecticut Good Roads asso- ciation, it's officers and directors, will welcome an investigation by any committee. The deeper the investi-
 gation, the more welcome We have
 absolutely nothing to conceal If
 such an investigation is undertaken,
 and is completed, the selfish personal
 interests behind this attack upon the
 Connecticut Good Roads association
 will be revealed. It will accomplish
 the very ends we seek to attain and place the truth before the public. For the benefit of the Warren Bros.

 The newspaper which originally printed this letter of The Warren Bros. company states editorially, in the same issue and page, that it omit ted the name of the concern men toned in the Warren Bros. company's S letter because it did not "care to pay for a law suit" If this newspaper is printing the truth why should it fear a libel suit? No decent paper would resort to such trickery.
 The Warren Bros company sets it. self up as the champion of contract ors who hope to secure paving con- tracts on merit" In 1918, g. few months before the present highway commissioner took office, The War rem Bros. company received from MT. Mcdonald, contracts amounting to about three-quarters of a million dol lars for Warrenite. No one knew any such enormous amount had been given to this concern until the pres ent highway commissioner took place and found the contracts.

Take a Glass of Salts to flush Kid neys If your back is aching.

Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must re- lieve them like you relieve your bow els; removing all the acids waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of sediment; the chan nels often get irritated obliging you to get up two or three times during g the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from Fany pharmacy; take a table spoonful t1 a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine and bladder dis orders disappear.

FRANCE. Monday, October 29.-(By
The Associated Press.)-The first
Americanes to establish contact with
the Germans today are bathing in the
mud of eastern France. They con-

have their guns on the enemy.
American shells have been hurled in
to German territory and they have eN-
ploded again near the enemy lines.
On hill to the right of the eNplo-
sions cataracts of mud are to be seen.
To one side an American officer is
looking Gu, on the scene through his
field glasses. He is trying to see
what damage has been done by the az

of 10th American and German guns
whizzing over their heads. The men
are rubber-booted and ponchoed. Rain
