THE STORY THUS FAR

SkeePs finger prints we're found in
the apartment Of the murdered Margaret
OdeII, but Vance does not believe him
guilty. 1t is proved later that Mannix,
Cleaver and DR.. Lindquist all had been
lying about their whereabouts on the
night of the murder. The truth comes
out that Mannix had been calling on
Miss Frisbee in an apartment &djOin-
ing the "Canary's"; that CIeaver had
been in the building around midnight
and that DIR. LindquiSt, knowing that
SpOtwoOde was calling on Margaret
Odell, had planned in jealous fit to
kill him and had been waiting in the
alley outside.

The insidious condition of Dys-

great strain upon the vital or

waste retained affects the whole

The liver occasionally needs lit

for this, as medical men now know,
than little OK gall. Ok gall is a

the human liver, promoting its nor

to internal cleanliness and health.
